"Oversold on Capabilities - Unfortunately never Roll out the Product"

What do you like best? The initial individual review shows well BUT when you drill into the details of using it in a sales organization, it was NOT ready for prime time and Xactly tried to push the heavy lifting to SFDC.

Recommendations to others considering the product: Make sure Xactly really can deliver on what you have asked for. Document it in your contract and ask for an ...

"Xactly does what it says, but with difficulty"

What do you like best? I do like that I can keep a record of individual comp plans in one place. What do you dislike?

"Easy to use and clean interface but backend setup is limiting and takes a lot of workarounds "

It is too simple on the backend so it is really limiting if you have any terms or structure that is not super standard. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Lack of visibility for our sales organization on their commissions, too much overhead and effort across too many teams to get accurate calculations.

"Payroll Time Cut in Half"

"Spreadsheets are easier"

What do you like best? The 3rd party implementation team (Open Symmetry) is their partner to install and configure this application was good to work with - responsive and dedicated to moving us forward. Cannot say the same for the success/support team at Xactly. What do you dislike? Lots of manual manipulation to get files to load, lots of wait time for calcs to occur, lots of reconciliation (shadow accounting) outside of the platform, lots of manual adjustments within the platform to get ...

"Good for small teams/limited comp plans"

What do you like best? I like that Xactly can handle many different aspects of a complex compensation plan, such as tiers, accelerators, bonuses, and manual adjustments. I also like the seamless Salesforce integration and being able to run many different reports in Salesforce regarding Xactly calculations.

"Xactly Express - Express Solution for Commissions"

What do you like best? I had worked on Express for over 2 years. I used to calculate commissions on a monthly basis for over 80 reps on Excel before I was introduced to Xactly Express.
