What do you like best about Aeqium?

Aeqium is a great tool that I use pretty much every day for maintaining/looking up compensation bands, checking internal comp parity with current team members, and checking the competitiveness of offers compared to our ranges. I'm a huge fan of their support team; every time we've encountered an issue they respond lightning-fast and are willing to hear out my feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aeqium?

There are still a few features I'd like to see Aeqium grow into, including syncing offers with our ATS (Ashby), ability to do more updates within the platform (i.e. adding a level to an existing ladder requires a new upload rather than updating a field in the platform), and more native support for pay mixes (i.e. assigning a pay mix to a job ladder/level and calculating an offer statement based on the pay mix assigned to the role). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Storing and sharing compensation bands

- Running compensation cycles

- Making it easy for managers to see their teams' compensation and comp range placement

- Impressing candidates with fun offer statements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aeqium?

The UI is great. It was easy to set up, managers could easily read the information and make their changes. I also liked that the sales team were honest. If it couldn't do something they told me so.

Customer support team were really responsive. I don't think I ever waited more than an hour or two for a response.

We moved from spreadsheets to Aeqium and it made my job of running our pay review so much less stressful.

Our HRIS is one that doesn't have an API with other software so I cannot comment on integration but even with doing manual uploads of data it wasn't complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aeqium?

Nothing I can say I dislike, there are a few tweaks I think would make it even better - some adjustments to reporting and budgeting and the ability to set by formula how annual salary is calculated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to do pay reviews on spreadsheets and there was often issues with formulas being different in one place, the wrong thing might be copied over, managers changing information that shouldn't be changed, sorting only part of the columns so the information is out of sync. I spent hours transferring data and double and triple checking things. The spreadsheets were also quite large because we showed the benchmark range across a few different columns and compa-ratio and range penetration to show where the individual was. Aeqium has one graphic that shows the range, where they sit on it and where the proposed salary will take them. It simplies a lot of columns of data and is much easier for managers to understand.

The main reason we chose Aeqium is to make the pay review process easier on the managers and the feedback from them was very good. We were able to involve more layers of managers this year as most of them picked up how to use the platform with 10-15 minute tour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aeqium?

Where to start? There are so many things. First, the comprehensive set of offerings: from managing comp bands to compensation planning, employee visibility to their Total Rewards, manager visibility into their team's compensation to visual offer letters for candidates. It's the full package!

I also love the great UX, flexibility when configuring comp cycles and ability to assign different user permission levels. Overall, I can't think of anything it's missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aeqium?

At times the calculations of specific fields for comp planning can be hard to figure out. That said, their amazing customer support is just a slack message away! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only call out is that salary band data can feel robust for larger / geo spread orgs that have complex comp structures but they've been able to support all that we need desptie this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aeqium?

Aeqium transformed our compensation management at Thoropass. The platform was incredibly intuitive, allowing us to configure pay bands and manage the compensation review process seamlessly. The ease of use was a game-changer; even our C-suite executives could pull reports and make decisions without extensive training. The self-service functionality allowed our lean People team to make real-time adjustments, significantly speeding up our compensation cycles. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of Aeqium compared to our previous tool, Pave, was remarkable. It offered all the features we needed at less than half the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aeqium?

While Aeqium was generally fantastic, we did encounter some minor hiccups during the initial setup. There were a few instances where we needed to seek customer support for clarification on certain features. However, these issues were quickly resolved, and the overall onboarding experience was still much smoother than with other platforms we had used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aeqium solved several key challenges for us at Thoropass by offering an intuitive, flexible platform that simplified our compensation management. It allowed us to make real-time adjustments without relying on customer support, significantly speeding up our processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a full performance cycle platform, which can get wonky at times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Aeqium?

Aeqium has helped us eliminate manual spreadsheets during our compensation review cycles. The tool is easy to set up and use. The tool allows you to add formulas on the back end and the review cycles are easy to build and launch. Aeqium's customer support is very responsive and partners with us to solve any problems or as we look to add additional functionality to their tool.

I like the visualization of the bands in the review cycle and in the comp ranges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aeqium?

Aeqium is still relatively in the developing stage. They occasionally have bugs and there were several feature requests we asked for. They need to expand their job-leveling architecture to include codes and grades.

We still have to do the pre-work on our bands and ranges prior to uploading them to the tool but we can adjust them when within the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps us facilitate our compensation review and equity refresh cycles. They allow us to manage our compensation bands and provide our employees with a total rewards statement and pay transparency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aeqium?

I loved seeing the tool developing in the last year. I think what I like the most is how much their support team has been open to feedback and so quick to action on the things we've discussed with them as product improvements.

In terms of the tool itself, I enjoy the look of the ranges and where people are in the range. I think it creates a very easy visual when looking at a team and in our comp cycles.

I personally have worked more on the My Comp/Total Rewards section of the tool. I think it's helpful that employees can select the plans they are using and it's great that we can do either total value amounts or percentage of OTE or base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aeqium?

The product is still developing, so there are a few things that still need to be worked out. For example, I dislike the lack of flexibility in the Benefits section, where we can't select our own benefits categories or hyperlink things well.

This makes the benefits and total rewards feature somewhat limited. Something easy to add would be an "other" or "time off" category or more custom benefit category options.

Additionally, setting up this feature is also a bit hard because it's all location-based, and we'd need more filters for rules preferably. For example, we can't filter out the benefits we show to temporary employees rather than full time employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are helping us run our compensation and equity cycles, as well as helping us show a total rewards statement to our employees. Lastly, we will use Aeqium to comply with pay transparency laws. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aequim is very simple yet powerful tool in my day to day management of my team.

Aeqium allows me to not only see how my own personal compensation package breakdown but also for each of direct and indirect reports in a straightfoward and easy to use UI. I would highly suggest this tool for compenstaion planning and management for teams of all sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aeqium is a great, modern tool for managing compensation. It provides flexibility, insights, and mechanics for both managing compensation rounds as well as exploring and analyzing compensation.
