What do you like best about CaptivateIQ?

We transitioned to CaptivateIQ from our in-house built compensation program some time ago, and it has been a transformative experience for our organization. The shift has positively impacted our internal dynamics, streamlining processes and enhancing efficiency across the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CaptivateIQ?

While CaptivateIQ has been a fantastic addition to our organization, there are a few areas where we see room for improvement. Although the reporting capabilities are robust, we would love to see more advanced analytics and reporting features to further enhance our data-driven decision-making. Despite of that, we are now exploring new CaptivateIQ modules to be integrated with our internal planning set-up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One of the most significant changes was saying goodbye to cumbersome manual processes. CaptivateIQ automated many of our compensation tasks, reducing errors and saving valuable time. We were able to integrate all our business lines into CaptivateIQ effortlessly. This integration has provided a unified platform for managing compensation, making it easier to track and analyze data across different departments.

The platform has improved the accuracy of our compensation calculations and provided greater transparency. Employees now have clear visibility into their compensation details, fostering trust and satisfaction. CaptivateIQ offers a high degree of flexibility and customization, allowing us to tailor the system to our specific needs. This adaptability has been crucial in addressing the unique requirements of our diverse business lines.

CaptivateIQ has revolutionized our compensation management, bringing efficiency, accuracy, and transparency to our processes. We highly recommend it to any organization looking to modernize their compensation systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can be areas of the compensation plans that get misconstued, but is not a tool issue it is a comp plan issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Transparency leads to much less time with internal conversations and turmoil regarding compensation. I saves me as a VP of Sales atleast a weeks worth of work over an annual period not having to manage the crisis of incorrect compensation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CaptivateIQ?

CaptivateIQ maintains a clean, uncluttered UI that allows you to easily see all relevant data points pertinent to your attainment records. It also allows tracking of unusual items that most companies do not maintain like commission payments being held back from deals where the customer makes annual payments. I log in monthly to verify my records in SFDC. It's also easy to open up an inquiry directly from the UI which gets routed directly to finance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CaptivateIQ?

The thing I do not like about Captivate is that it places all closed deals in your monthly report. You have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the items relevant to your monthly payout. This should be a separate, rolling report that covers your annual attainment. It's not a deal breaker, just annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Commission payments are easily verified instead of a black box payment that requires you to do your own calculations against your records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CaptivateIQ?

I like that the platform is easy to use. CaptivateIQ makes it easy to determine if my commission payout is listed correctly and if there by chance is an error it is simple to find where the error lies. It has been very helpful in ensuring payouts are correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CaptivateIQ?

It does take a few days after the end of the month to be ready for approval, which is not a big deal, but it is the only thing I would change if possible. However, I do receive an email reminding me when my payout is ready for review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before we started using the platform there were errors occuring with payout that would not be found until the end of the year which led to problems. With Captivate, not only are we able to see our payouts, we also hjave to approve them which helps should there be any issues in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CaptivateIQ provides real-time transparency into commission calculations, which addresses the problem of unclear or delayed performance feedback for sales teams.
