Xactly Incent Reviews

“It centralizes the commission process

Pros

Xactly Incent has allowed us for centralizing commission calculations and payments, eliminating the need for keeping manual spreadsheets. Users can review commissions throughout the month to ensure accurate order coding and payment. The support from the Technical account manager and customer success manager ensures ongoing communication to meet our needs.

Cons

It takes a lot of time to update analytics when changes are made in Incent.

“Saving our company valuable time

Pros

It saves a lot of time on calculating and pulling commission related data, it is seriously remarkable.

Cons

The user interface feels a bit outdated and some features don't seem modern or updated.

“Excellent tool!

Pros

With many components, calculations and tiers, the accuracy of the system is exceptional. While we're now largely self sufficient, we have always appreciated working with the Professional Services teams and Customer Success Managers.

Cons

I believe the year-end setup could be made simpler and less time-consuming.

“Comprehensive ICM tool with a moderate learning curve

Pros

It is highly customizable and scalable, offering various methods to create and update dynamic commission environments. Once the ruleset logic is understood, making changes becomes simple. The responsive support team usually resolves any issue within one business day.

Cons

End-user training can take a lot of time because some features aren't very easy to understand. Admin training is also tough with all the different rules and operations you need to understand to run some processes.

“valuable investment

Pros

This software can handle highly complex incentive calculations, utilizing data from multiple sources. It's flexible enough to adjust to rapidly changing organizations. The best aspect of Xactly is the excellent customer support included with the license, which is essential when meeting payroll deadlines.

Cons

It takes quite a bit of time to learn how to use. It's a decent system with its own rules, but once you get the hang of it, it's definitely worth the investment. I used to use spreadsheets, but everything is moving toward full automation now.

Any problems that come up are fixed pretty quickly by the team that's always there to help.

Custom data visualizations in the "Incentive Statement" didn't quite meet what I expected.

The support team could be better and custom integrations could use a lot of improvement.

“It's Great!

Pros

It's perfect for tracking commissions month to month and provides essential incentive data, so you always know what to expect and avoid surprises.

Cons

Navigating the system can be confusing. There are a lot of layers, and it takes time to figure out how to use it all. (I'm still trying to figure it out)

“Very eligible and efficient software

Pros

Calculating commissions with different designs, eligibility and pulling data/reports into Xactly is seamless.

Cons

There are still some system limitations. We need to calculate some things manually because draws aren't tied to individual records and there's no audit feature in the draw or hierarchy system.
