Chose Xactly Incent®
Do not recall - it was 3+ years ago. We did an RFP with 3 different products. Xactly Incent seemed to offer the most with the best cost, but the implementation was poor in my opinion. In my experience, 1.5 years after go live, we still don't have automated payroll files due to …

The platform is absolutely amazing for all parts of the commission process. The only drawback is reporting. The new funcionality will be coming out and from the presentations it looks like the new platform will be taking care of the previous issues. I cannot give the software a perfect 10 yet; however, I am anticipating rating it a 10 after the reporting comes out.

Pros
  • Crystal - It helps in understanding which are the key sales or opportunities to be closed to attain the required commission
  • Quota Attainment Tracker - This gives graphical representation of how much attainment has been achieved year wise
  • Tier attainment helps us to understand what more to be added to gain more to be added to go to next tier of commission

  • automates workflows and approval processes, significantly reducing the administrative burden on sales operations.
  • ability to accommodate a wide range of commission structures.
  • The dashboard is clean and straightforward, making it easy to track commissions, performance metrics, and goals without getting lost in a sea of unnecessary features.

Cons
  • Since it shows the data of sales so they don't have any method by which the refund in the sales can be tracked. One of my teammate had refund done but it was not showing in the Everstage. I think this need to improved
  • The dashboard can be improved by showing some emojis, if he is coming on top and makes the employee feel happy.
  • Sometime after login it shows the 3 months before data, i think it should start by showing the current data.

  • It doesn't provide real-time results after updates are made that require recalculation. You have to wait for a refresh time to pass.
  • The ability to edit the Draw section, so that you can identify and/or distinguish the difference between Recoverable and Non-Recoverable Draws.
  • Customizing the rare and out of the ordinary situations. It can be done, but typically requires the aid of Support.

We have been using Xactly as a primary application to calculate the commissions payout on a daily basis and would continue the same as Xactly Incent meets our requirement. It keeps the process automated and reduces the manual effort to calculate commissions.

Usability
Using Everstage, plans can now be easily rolled out in a matter of minutes and today, everyone from sales ops to the C-Suite has quick access to the intelligence they need to inform better sales forecasting. With Everstage on our desktops and mobile devices, we keep commission pay transparent and accessible.

From an admin perspective, the software's usability is high. The different components are organized in a way that is easy to figure out, for example, all elements of a plan are under the Plan Design section. There are some areas where searching within the system is a bit cumbersome because after clicking into a result and back out it clears your filter. I found the software easy to navigate when I first started and the amount of documentation and helpful videos they have on the community and within the University make the system even easier to learn.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
In general the system is nearly always available. But the daily achievement calculation takes a hugh amount of time. therefore it was in the past month sometimes only from midday onwards completely updated and usable for Sales employees. Xactly support was and still is working hard to get it available early mornings. Availablility time has increased a lot. It's now down to around 10 am in the moring

Performance
No answers on this topic
Xactly Incent performs extremely well. I have not experienced it "slowing down" when usage is heavy. This is particularly true when it comes to the regular recalculation of credits and commissions. It is not uncommon for Xactly to be dealing with hundreds of thousands of orders/credits in a pay period, but the system handles it well. Xactly recently changed their calculation engine and the speed for regular refreshes increased significantly.

Support Rating
It's Wonderful. They have been accessible when in need. the response is immediate and genuine. the support wait time is not too long either. when a fault is pointed out, thy accept it and try to work on it and within a week they try to find a better option to resolve the issue. Accepting and working to deliver better is really appreciable thing. Kudos to the team on that

They take the time to understand the system. They keep us updated on the status of our cases. Finally, their continued follow up ensuring the initial issue was resolved is very nice. They will not close the case out until they have confirmed that our issue has been completely resolved and fixed.

Xactly offers training on new releases on a monthly basis and training on basic principles regularly via registration. My experience with both is that they do not provide the in-depth knowledge necessary to truly master the system and advanced courses still do not go to the level needed to autonomously manage the system and plans. Professional services are a large part of any cloud based service such as Xactly and I feel a reliance on such paid consulting services is a great money-maker for Xactly.

Already commented in Implementation phases. Generally spoken: Be very well organized, try to use easy comp plans. Think in the most strange scenarios that could happen because it needs to be porgrammed. It will happen in big organizations for sure. Take your time and invest in Administrators. Try to get full time support from Administrators.

Everstage has kept its promise of providing timely, accurate incentive calculations while outperforming against previous solutions. It takes overly complex process with lots of data and inputs, and streamlines it and makes the process much more efficient. It was chosen also due to its high level of integration with our existing CRM platform, as well the robust nature of the software itself.

Return on Investment
  • Improved Performance and Productivity
  • Enhanced Accountability and Fairness
  • Overreliance on performance metrics and incentives alone can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, such as employees focusing solely on meeting targets without considering other important aspects of their roles, such as customer satisfaction or long-term strategic goals

  • I am not aware of the company investment, but the overall result is fantastic. Employees visibility to commissions and components of their commissions is great. They have much more accessibility to their numbers and better understanding of how commissions are calculated. They can also review commissions at their convince on the application.
  • There seems to be more employee engagement and satisfaction with the overall commission process and reporting with Xactly Incent.
