Sales Performance Management solutions from SAP SuccessFactors vs. SetSail

SAP Sales Performance Management from Success Factors works great if the incentive calculation is simple. However, if it contains a lot of constraints and filters or is dynamic, it is not friendly to changes or complexity in terms of configuration and time to calculate the incentives. The advantages of using SAP Sales Performance Management are that the process is controlled, the data is in the cloud, and the roles and permissions make it more secure.

SetSail is perfect for a mid to large sized sales organization that would like to spark a greater sense of competition amongst their sales team. If your sales team isn't that size then it would seem fairly redundant to use this software with your reps as there will not be as much competition driving the results that SetSail is intended for.

I would use this product if it were needed due to very complex plans/organization

My rating is because even though the system works well and has many good features as far as the regular hierarchy, ability to enter fixed variables and the use of rate and lookup tables, there are few sticking points. The custom hierarchy is not easy to use as it is not just point and click. Also, the rule writing is difficult and requires a lot of testing to ensure the results are what you are expecting to calculate or pay.

We wanted a commission system that was designed for commissions and required limited configuration. SAP Commissions is just that.

1. Ananplan is more of a financial software that can be used for commissions.
2. Iconixx and Xactly are comparable to SAP Commissions but seemed to be built more for small to mid-size customers.
3. Variacent required too much up front configuration work. It was not ready to use out of the box.

Yes we work with a few different tools including setsail, outreach and ZoomInfo. There are many other tools but we haven't considered too many to look at a t all. Not sure if these tools are directly go against setsail but they work hand in hand with our salesforce application
