I've been using Xactly for years, not just at my current company, but at my previous 3 companies as well. I think the tool is great for managing comp plans, showing your quota achievements, etc. The companies setup do influence the quality of the information provided via the tool, but that's something Xactly cannot controlRead all insights and reviews for Xactly Incent

Based on my professional experience this is overall the most optimal commissions/sales performance tool I've ever seen. It offers great flexibility but at the same time full control over the process. Add to that how well their customer service team responds to all our queries and how they keep the product up to date based on feedback they constantly collect.Read all insights and reviews for CaptivateIQ

Our overall experience with Anaplan has been very positive. We recently implemented sales compensation in Anaplan, moving away from a spreadsheet-based process that was fragmented, manual and prone to errors. With Anaplan, we were able to build and deploy our first iteration within 3-4 months and successfully onboard our first user segment. The transition has been smooth and early user feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The platform has already brought greater accuracy, consistency and transparency to our compensation process.Read all insights and reviews for Anaplan for Sales
