"OpenComp Made Compensation Simple—Quick Setup, Comprehensive Features, Great Support"
What do you like best about OpenComp?

We vetted numerous compensation platforms, and OpenComp stood out as the most comprehensive option for a company of our size (200). Mapping positions across various geolocations and tailoring our compensation strategy was quick and straightforward. We were able to get up and running within weeks during implementation, and we’re now already in year two of using OpenComp for new positions and our focal review process. Compensation is no longer a headache for us, and we have a great team at OpenComp to answer questions and provide the support we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenComp?

We are not able to create hybrid roles to fully capture the scope of some of our employees. This would be a great improvement if we could design our roles to get a fuller compensation picture that reflects all that they do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Natalie Persico of OpenComp

Thanks for sharing your positive experience with OpenComp! We're happy to hear that OpenComp has been able to simplify your compensation process and provide the support you need. We appreciate your feedback about the need for creating hybrid roles and will take that into consideration for future enhancements to our platform.

"Easy-to-use platform for compensation benchmarking"
What do you like best about OpenComp?

OpenComp is very easy to use and makes compensation benchmarking straightforward. The platform gives us quick visibility into market data so we can sense-check salary ranges and make more informed pay decisions. It saves a lot of time compared to pulling data from multiple surveys or spreadsheets. The team has also been responsive and helpful when questions come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenComp?

There are very occasional times when we want to compare very specific roles or levels that do not map perfectly to the available benchmarks, so some interpretation is still required. That said, this is fairly typical with compensation data and the platform still makes the process much easier than doing it manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Natalie Persico of OpenComp

We're thrilled to hear that OpenComp has made compensation benchmarking straightforward and saved you time. Our goal is to provide quick visibility into market data to help you make more informed pay decisions. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that our team has been responsive and helpful.

"OpenComp: Empowering Small Teams with Fast, Accurate Compensation Solutions"
What do you like best about OpenComp?

What I appreciate most about OpenComp is its remarkable speed and accuracy in helping us develop fair, equitable, and market-aligned salary ranges. As a small organization with a People Team of only two, we simply don’t have the time to create compensation plans from the ground up. OpenComp has truly transformed this aspect of our work, providing us with instant clarity and confidence—something that is truly invaluable.

A major highlight for us has been the smooth implementation process and the seamless integration with Paylocity. The automatic data flow ensures we never have to manually update salary ranges or worry about inconsistencies, saving us significant time and removing the stress of redundant work.

Overall, OpenComp has been a game-changer for our team. It brings transparency, consistency, and fairness to our compensation strategy, making our small team feel empowered with the tools and capabilities of a much larger HR department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenComp?

While OpenComp has proven to be highly valuable for our team, we have encountered a few challenges along the way. One issue is that some of our roles are quite specialized, which makes it difficult to find robust benchmark data. In these cases, the data available often feels limited, making it more challenging to establish salary ranges with the same confidence we have for more common positions.

Another area of difficulty is the lack of filtering options for compensation data by company size or industry. As a smaller organization that does not compete directly with large tech firms, it would be extremely beneficial to narrow benchmarks to companies that are more similar to ours. Without these filters, some of the compensation ranges can be skewed higher than what is realistic or competitive for our particular market.

Overall, these challenges are not dealbreakers, but having access to more detailed, role-specific data and additional filtering capabilities would make the platform even more precise and useful for companies like ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Natalie Persico of OpenComp

We're thrilled to hear that OpenComp has been able to provide you with fast and accurate compensation solutions, saving your small team time and effort in developing fair and market-aligned salary ranges. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to have been a game-changer for your organization.

"User-Friendly Benchmarking with Excellent Support"
What do you like best about OpenComp?

I find OpenComp to be user-friendly and intuitive, which makes it easy for me to navigate and perform benchmarking analyses. The ability to pull data in an executive summary format is a feature I particularly appreciate as it streamlines my workflow and enables efficient reporting. Moreover, my experience with the OpenComp team has been excellent; they are great to work with, and I have encountered no major obstacles while using the tool. As someone relatively new to compensation analysis work, I am impressed with how simple the initial setup was, and I haven't faced significant issues, reinforcing my positive sentiment towards the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenComp?

I wish I could benchmark all my active positions based on job title. Since we benchmark based on the US country average, I don't need to do everyone individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Natalie Persico of OpenComp

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that OpenComp has been user-friendly and efficient for your benchmarking analyses. We are actively working on a solution to your feedback about benchmarking all active positions based on job title, and we will share the product release notes when available within the next couple of weeks.

"Finally... a global solution at your fingertips"
What do you like best about OpenComp?

As an HR executive overseeing compensation across multiple organization in multiple countries with 20+ years experience- I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of keeping pay practices aligned, current, and equitable. OpenComp has been a game-changer, especially when you start to cross geos.

It truly serves as a one-stop shop to align global compensation across the globe, giving leaders, managers, and HR teams a single source of truth for pay decisions. The platform eliminates the constant back-and-forth and guesswork that comes with outdated or inconsistent data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenComp?

Opencomp is currently working on the few remaining geos that have more complex compensation structures. Even when we ran into this one snag, the team was more than willing and able to help us jump in on a solution for more complex variable pay and special allowance situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Natalie Persico of OpenComp

We're glad to hear that OpenComp has been able to streamline your compensation management and provide real-time, accurate data, saving you time and improving decision-making. Thank you for choosing OpenComp for your global compensation management!

"An HR Partner's Dream"
What do you like best about OpenComp?

I've used a number of different tools over my 15+ years as an HR Partner and Leader in the Tech Space. Constantly battling the over-inflation of titles (and the comp that goes with it), Open Comp has given me the tools to fight tough battles with my Executive-level partners to assure we're both recognizing our talent, without blowing out market-level compensation rates. Specifically, the job-family leveling is concise, actionable, and has actually helped my managers navigate promotion conversations. The tool has been powerful for both day-to-day use (job and comp matching during recruiting) and annual planning (both for budgeting purposes and compensation reviews).

On top of that, the support from the OpenComp team has been incredible. They're always fast and insightful, often hopping on a call to discuss any challenges within 24 hours to make sure we're getting the most out of the product. I can't recommend the team highly enough! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenComp?

While incredibly helpful for 99% of the job matching I've had to do, there are some HIGHLY specialized (namely Compliance) roles in my company that don't yield enough data to really be actionable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Natalie Persico of OpenComp

We're grateful for your recommendation and are pleased to hear that OpenComp has been powerful in helping you align market compensation rates with your internal practices!

"Comprehensive Compensation platform"
What do you like best about OpenComp?

Ability to analyze comp data for entire organization and create salary ranges. Is a very strategic and user friendly tool that adds greatly to my capability. Great tool for me, especially as an HR leader in a non-profit with limited resources. The support team is also very customer focused and reaches out to me periodically to ensure the platform is working well and that I am achieving my key objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenComp?

No downsides really. Perhaps not as much data for the non-profit sector but was able to upload our own survey data as an enhancement to the platform's data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Natalie Persico of OpenComp

We're thrilled to hear that you find OpenComp to be a strategic and user-friendly tool that adds greatly to your capability. Our support team is dedicated to ensuring that the platform is working well for you and that you are achieving your key objectives.

We have a robust non-profit dataset and are happy to discuss it further with you any time!

"Great tool for a growing startup"
What do you like best about OpenComp?

I'm able to control the benchmarking based on our total funds raised & funding stage in addition to our geographic location by comparing our comp to actual market data (and not a bunch of algorithmically calculated info that's based on the bay area).

Market data is adjusted quarterly, so I feel confident knowing the information is aligned to true conditions, actual current payroll data, and real inputs from companies like mine.

Its a great price-to-value as well for early stage startups! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenComp?

I wish there were more comprehensive jobs to benchmark against - knowing there is some variance in job functions, there should be a more established list for SaaS companies. The team DOES do a great job though of helping when there is a job missing or to confirm/clarify which job to use as a direct benchmark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Natalie Persico of OpenComp

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with OpenComp! We understand the importance of comprehensive job benchmarking and will continue to work on expanding our database for SaaS companies.
