CandorIQ Reviews & Product Details

CandorIQ is a powerful tool that combines simplicity with depth. Its design is clean and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate while still covering all the essentials. The interface is intuitive and visually appealing, which enhances the user experience. Another standout feature is the support team, which provides exceptional “white glove” service, ensuring users feel supported every step of the way. The tool is also easy to set-up, making integration a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CandorIQ is a new tool with a solid foundation, though some features are not yet available, such as detailed, downloadable reports. That said, the tool shows great potential, but there are areas where additional features would enhance its overall utility and effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CandorIQ has a really good price point for smaller businsses. The partnership that CandorIQ has with Mercer means that the data can be trusted and I like how the platform can be customised to meet our business needs. We are still in the early days of rolling out the system, but so far it has been an overall positive experience as an administrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CandorIQ is still very much a startup. The onboarding process still needs work and there isn't much extra support resources available for the end user. However, the team is always around to answer questions if you need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The headcount planning module is one of a kind. I have yet to see a tool tackle this in a way that actually allows teams to get out of spreadsheets and automate a process that connects to your HRIS and ATS and manages approvals, projects org views into the future, and allows finance teams to more accurately budget headcount. It's such a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Haven't come across anything the team was not able to update or customize for us. It has always been white-glove customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CandorIQ is a powerful platform across both workforce planning and compensation. It effectively enables collaboration across HR, Finance and executive leadership, reducing cross-functional friction.

In my career I’ve spent countless hours building, populating and reconciling spreadsheets. CandorIQ effectively automates mountains of work, while improving decision-making with data, reporting and scenario planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While CandorIQ delivers great value, it could benefit from more integrations with some niche systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm really impressed with what CandorIQ has accomplished in it's short history. They are addressing a huge pain point for businesses around compensation planning. The application, accommodates a variety of compensation designs for smaller startup companies, and it includes embedded market data that otherwise would be a separate expense.

I'm looking forward to see what they do around customer driven configuration options and also workforce planning that can be shared between both HR and finance teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CandorIQ gives us a way to have all our compensation and headcount information in one place. It's secure and makes otherwise chaotic processes much more systematic. Because it helps me stay organized and better collaborate, I'm able to focus more on the bigger issues and be more strategic. For example, I love that it helps me give my people managers more hands-on access to the information to be more effective with their direct reports' growth.

I also LOVE how hands-on their team is. They've made transitioning to the product incredibly easy and they're very pleasant to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The company hasn't been around as long as some of the players in the space and—while that has its perks—it also has its obvious disadvantages. The current product is great and their team is really helpful and responsive to feedback, so my only "dislike" is simply that there are still some features I know will come in the future that I wish they had today. I'm excited to be a design partner and have a lot of influence on the direction of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we surveyed the comp cycle platform landscape, Candor proved to be the most flexible for our complex comp needs, while also coming in at the most reasonable price. That got us in the door, but what has kept us since is the responsiveness of the Candor team. They're open to feedback and are willing to make/update features to ensure the product works well for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is still relatively new, so they're still working out some kinks and building out some of the self-serve functionality. That said, they are super responsive to feedback and issues get resolved quickly one way or another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Candor has a great UI/UX and is extremely user friendly. We started working with CandorIQ in order to get access to more robust global compensation data, and we are very happy with the tool. The CandorIQ team also provides incredible support. They are extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular. I'm very excited to see what CandorIQ builds in the future, and I think the product will continue to keep getting better and better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer support at CandorIQ is unmatched. We switched from Kamsa to CandorIQ because from day one, the Candor team took the time to understand our unique needs as an organization and customize the platform accordingly. One of the things I like best about Candor compared to other tools is that it is infinitelty customizable; from the comp builder which allows you to easily build out pay ranges for new and existing roles, to the merit cycle which allows you to seamlessly run different budget models in local currency and assign varying levels of permissions to leadership and managers. By giving managers access to their teams' compensation data to make recommendations directly in the platform, they have a newfound sense of agency in the process and trust in the equity of our programs. CandorIQ has saved us weeks in the comp cycle by better leveraging the input of dept leaders and managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CandorIQ platform is relatively new so when I come across a certain functionality that would be helpful (e.g. the ability to have different % increases by performance rating per geo for our merit cycle), it sometimes needs to be built. The good news is that they often roll out new features before I can request them. And the fact that SigFig is an early customer means we've had an impact on the the product roadmap and the Candor team has been able to quicly turnaround solutions.

The International benchmarking data is fantastic. We really enjoyed the quick and helpful support as we got up and running and the level of ongoing support has continued. I use CandorIQ on a dailly basis now and it's been so easy to to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
