    Varicent
    Chose Varicent
    Initial comparison analysis was done but no insights into the outcome and why Varicent was chosen over Xactly
    Incentivized
    Chose Varicent
    Varicent is the leader in the ICM space because it is scalable and is always making improvements / enhancements based on customer input. However in my opinion based on my own experience, all ICM providers operate similarly in that they over-promise to get a customer's business …

    Chose Varicent
    Varicent was the best combination of cost, features, and scalable

    Chose Varicent
    Varicent was pre-selected before I joined the organization.
    Incentivized
    Chose Varicent
    Out of all of the products I have ever evaluated for this space, Varicent is head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion. For me, I think of Varicent as akin to building an Access database while the other programs are like building an Excel data model. In Varicent you …

    Chose Varicent
    We did look at other vendors, but Varicent stood out in terms of offerings for the price. There were certainly fancier options, but this hit all marks--cost, quality, and features.

    Chose Xactly Incent®
    I was not part of the selection process in my current company.

    Chose Xactly Incent®
    Both great products, we chose Xactly due to overall cost to own and support capabilities.

    I have used Varicent and Callidus in the past[.]
    Incentivized
    Chose Xactly Incent®
    Xactly is able to handle all of our business needs. They have a great community of users where Xactly is involved and listening. The support is great and less effort needed in being fully self sustainable with Xactly at your company.

    Chose Xactly Incent®
    I have used Callidus for commissions calculations before and each system has its own pros and cons. Because I have used Xactly Incent longer than Callidus, and I'm still currently using it, I have gotten used to Incent and all its challenges. Callidus was also a great tool as …
    Incentivized
    Chose Xactly Incent®
    At the time we looked into it, Xactly was very much ahead of the curve compared to Varicent and how it functioned. We specifically wanted something that had a robust reporting engine and also integrated into Salesforce.com so our field teams could have a single point of entry …

    Chose Xactly Incent®
    Good tool out there for our needs Intuitive, easy to use
    Incentivized
    Chose Xactly Incent®
    We originally reviewed Callidus, Centive and Varicent and at that time we went with Callidus because of the customization we thought we needed. Unfortunately, the system was built in such a way, that it was so laborious for us to manage and we needed to know how to read and …

    Varicent - horrendous customer service and far more expensive Oracle Incent - literally had our compensation administrators in tears
