CaptivateIQ vs. Payfederate

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.
• Integrations with HR software? (we use namely)

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.

I worked with a vendor to implement. CIQ support was very good. The implementation was very fast, particularly compared to other platforms

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.
