Chose CaptivateIQ
Everyone is very similar, at the end of the day for us was the local partners who assisted with the implementation
Salesforce was inaccurate, data was missing most of the time, it also only tracked what had been done so far. It did not track what my goal is nor did it tell me what my commissions would be. Having visibility to knowing where I am at and budgeting my pay is very helpful with …
My previous company did this on google sheets. It was always wrong, hard to read, and difficult to reach out to management if I thought something was incorrect. This is WAY more efficient and makes me feel like my company is prioritizing transparency and dedication to making …
Captivate offers much more than salesforce does on a much lighter platform at a significantly lower cost. We also see a possibly higher level of customization and better customer service in our interactions with Captivate IQ compared to Sales Force's arm of staff. Both are …
Spiff is super sleek and a top contender, honestly, though the price point difference between Captivate and Spiff took Spiff off the table quickly for us. Sales Cookie: we used it for a bit as Captivate didn't have a Hubspot integration, but we quickly outgrew the software and …
CIQ is better in every way than Excel! CIQ logic is very similar to formulas in Excel, so it's an easy transition to the tool. Once the logic is built, it is simply a click of a button to process the payouts, saving hours and hours of manual work.
We've completely phased out two of the comp plans from CaptivateIQ to Excel. Excel is a lot more flexible for any changes that occur throughout the year. The one downside is that it does not offer as much automation that CIQ does, since CIQ is synced to salesforce directly.
CaptivateIQ was much more easy to use by all parties involved including finance, accounting, sales, customer success and marketing. CaptivateIQ was also much less expensive in tracking commissions and other areas of our payouts when compared to Salesforce and other comparable …
I haven't looked at any others tools that are out on the marketplace. Again I am a strategic account manager so I am being told to use this product and it’s already been set up for me. Maybe you could list your competitors and I could tell you if I have used them before?
Captivate IQ is well-suited for sales teams of any size. Its ability to handle multiple, complex plan management allows for any amount of reps or level of complexity to be built in, allowing any organization to benefit from its automation and platform. We've changed our plans massively each year, and it is able to handle these changes with ease. It does seem as though it pairs better with SFDC. We use Hubspot, and this works okay, but our integration sometimes lags or needs a heavier lift to adjust.
Employee Self-Service: CapIQ include self-service portals for employees. This allows them to access their compensation details, track their performance, and understand how their pay is structured.
Error reduction - Manual calculation of incentives and bonuses is prone to errors, especially in organizations with complex compensation structures involving multiple variables, such as sales targets, performance metrics, and different payout rates. These errors can result in underpayments, overpayments, or discrepancies in compensation, which can lead to dissatisfaction among employees.
Real-Time Updates: In dynamic environments, compensation plans may change frequently due to shifts in business goals or market conditions. Compensation incentive software can quickly adapt to these changes, ensuring that compensation calculations remain accurate even as plans are updated. CapIQ allowed me to track my incentives live.
If there was a way to easily add a visual with the main quota's, accelerators, incentives from my comp plan and track progress to those goals that'd be a nice feature
Sometimes pay periods don't match up perfectly, probably an error on our end.
because CIQ has been a great solution to our commission systems and we're confident we can improve the features we use for the future. We want to continue improving the statements and the plans in the platform
I give this rating because I think that this works really well, and it helps our teams see things faster and we are able to keep up with pay outs, I give Captivate a 10/10 because I love the format and how quickly we are able to see the payouts
We used support during our initial setup regarding statment errors. They were quick and concise to respond and help us solve our issues regarding this. They also directed us to the office hours that enabled us to learn of new features and upcoming announcements.
Captivate offers much more than Salesforce does on a much lighter platform at a significantly lower cost. We also see a possibly higher level of customization and better customer service in our interactions with Captivate IQ compared to Sales Force's arm of staff. Both are great companies, but we will be sticking with CIQ for the future, we see it as much more agile.
Simplified comp plans overall; after implementing CapIQ, I was able to demonstrate to Leadership that our plans were far too complex, resulting in simplification the next time plans were created.
Fast payout processing. Before CapIQ payout processing was manual in spreadsheets and took significantly more time than now, I quickly validated the data by comparing it to a saved report in Salesforce and then send the payouts for approval.
Reps can easily see their payout information and create what-if scenarios to see where they might end up if they close a deal.
