User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
It's really an all-in-one solution for tracking the success of a sales team. You can establish unique earning paths per sales rep (user) to allow for flexible commission structures, bonus payouts for going above and beyond, and more. I think it's a great solution for anyone looking to get more insight into their sales team's productivity - and to expand an existing sales force.

Spiff is a great tool for tracking your commissions - it’s rare in that it’s a valuable tool that I only need to look at once or twice a month. It does exactly the job that it needs to do.

Pros
  • We don’t have to calculate commissions in Excel anymore! It takes a fraction of the time it used to calculate commissions. Saves about 1-2 days on month end close. I like that it is easy for me and reps to drill down and see the calculations of their payouts. Reps can see calcs all month long instead of having to wait until the end of the month, so acts as a motivator. Sales managers can manage their direct reports better.
  • When I first started using QP, I was not thrilled with the quota attainment reporting for dollars, percent, and team management. I’m glad that they added leaderboards and are working on better reporting. I like the UX and UI of the whole software.
  • I like being able to export the following easily to Excel – resolved payouts for all payouts, payouts by rep, and Ledger (ASC 606) info.
  • Admins can request that reps acknowledge their plans through QP, which helps with compliance and ensures we are in agreement with calculations. I like that they are adding a docusign feature.
  • You can easily adjust earnings if a correction is needed, even after the month is closed. Just make sure you reverse from the end of the process (i.e. undo in ledger, undo the resolved payout, delete the unresolved payout, un-approve the deal).

  • Great UI that can easily break down each account and all adjustments as well as base calculations at any level.
  • Amazing support team with almost real time support via Slack and email.
  • Listens and implements product feedback quickly. Some features I have asked for are delivered within a quarter.

Cons
  • More workspace roles with the ability to customize what each user is able to do. Currently, there's only member and team manager. The team manager currently has too much power and we want to remove some of the things they're able to do like approve deals.
  • When you sync a deal from the CRM, you can override the earnings but you cannot override the field value you're syncing over. It would be great if that was possible.
  • When you want to exclude a deal, you have to go in the filters and add a rule to exclude the ID. It would be better if there's an option to reject deals in certain paths as an approver.

  • Some formulas and coding are not that intuitive.
  • Sometimes Spiff is too transparent with the information that is shared on the reps' plans from a front-end perspective.
  • There are many workarounds that we code (specifically with statement cards on the front-end) that take more time.

Overall, the use cases of Spiff have been helping us to address important problems when it comes to commission calculation: (1) Accuracy of the commission calculation, (2) Transparency over how the commission is calculated, (3) Automation of commission calculation, which in turn saves us significant amount of time and energy and allow us to focus more on more important tasks

Reliability and Availability

In all my time using Spiff, I only recall it being unoperational (outside the times when there is scheduled maintence. During those times, Spiff does a good job at communicating when their services will be offline and why). The times when I do get a small error, 9 times out a 10 a simple refresh of the browser will fix the issue.

Performance

Pages load quickly, dashboards update numerous times throughout the day, and the integrations are seamless and operate without a hitch. On occasion, commissions will be delayed in calculating corrctly by a day or so, but that is quite rare. I don't find that delay to be a huge hinderance anyways.

We got a dedicated CSM to help with bugs, troubleshooting, and redesign of comp plans. When we ran into issues with the calculations, the CSM was able to assist identifying the root case so that we could fix it. CSM was also very receptive of product roadmap ideas and willing to engage quarterly or more often.

I needed my account to be set up and there seemed to be some technical issues with onboarding and a customer service rep made herself immediately available to liaison with our IT department to get me up and running. I did not expect them to tend to our request with such urgency.

The training was conducted by our Spiff Account Manager and they would even create recorded videos we could send to the sales team so when they log in, they would understand how to use Spiff. Account managers at Spiff are a huge reason why I like that company.

Alternatives Considered
Salesforce is better for more extensive and sales-focused companies with more nuances, but it also comes with a hefty price tag. QuotaPath is excellent for smaller teams kicking things off. I would recommend it as a beginner solution or an excellent lightweight solution for sales transparency and payouts to your team.

I have only tried the manual way of receiving statements via email with the actual report being attached as an Excel file. This makes it hard to track and raise questions if there are concerns with the statement. Having to submit a query via email is also too clunky and too time consuming.

Scalability

We have a fairly large Enterprise sales team (200+ people and growing). Back when I first started at my organization this number was actually around 100 people. We've doubled in size since then and we have had zero problems adding these additional users.

Return on Investment
  • I can't quantify the time/money saved but we reduced the amount of time finance spent manually updating spreadsheets for comp statements.
  • We reduced the amount of disputes and issues people had with their earnings and payouts
  • We had 0 errors with deals being missed and not paid out to reps.
Read full review
  • Definitely increased transparency into compensation calculation and rules
  • I don't know if there is a tangible ROI for what we are using now, but I personally like the confidence it gives me to know how much I'm getting paid.
  • Potentially improved productivity because we're not having to calculate our commissions on our own.
