When the client has source data in Salesforce, Workday or flat files, it works really well. If the client has too much data, it can be really slow or require lots of preprocessing. It's often better to do as much of the calculations as you can in the configuration rather than on the Xactly Connect side. So that regular comp admins with Incent Connect training but no Xactly Connect are able to make changes.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • Direct integration into Salesforce. Which the majority of companies use for sales CRM.
  • Uses standard SQL and SOQL so any programmer with this skillset can pick it up easily.
  • The code is easily accessible through the Xactly UI. So anyone with an Admin login can look at and modify the code.
  • Constantly adding new features.

It is able to handle everything I have thrown at it. It processes quickly and gives great troubleshooting information when things error out.
