Salary.com Reviews & Product Details

I use Salary.com to review positions within my company and appreciate the very detailed information it provides. I enjoy the breakdown and layout of the website because it is easy to view, and I can use that information to help people. I personally like a source that is organized by category and easy to use, especially as someone who is newer to this. Setting up Salary.com was a very quick and simple process, involving a straightforward verification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no concerns that I have with Salary.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Salary.com is the depth and reliability of its compensation data. The platform provides strong market benchmarking tools that allow us to evaluate roles with confidence and align pay practices to current market conditions. The ability to filter by geography, company size, and industry is especially valuable for ensuring equitable and competitive salary decisions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary challenge is the complexity of job matching and navigation. While the depth of data is strong, identifying the correct benchmark role can require significant interpretation and manual adjustment. A more streamlined workflow and clearer job architecture alignment tools would enhance usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to price jobs with Salary.com. I can adjust a fit on CompAnalyst by creating a hybrid role or simply adjusting the years of experience or degree requirements. I think that the people team that supports the website does a great job. This week, I had a meeting with two employees from Salary.com, and they walked me through the process of manually uploading our data to the site for a future project. The initial setup was extremely easy, and the people team behind the site provided a great orientation training to me and members of the team at my organization.

Finding a match on CompAnalyst based on my organization's internal job descriptions can sometimes be a challenge. The AI agent that matches jobs based on the description provided does not seem to be very accurate. The AI agent is usually within the right ballpark of what the role does, but the suggestion is often too high level. I think if more weight was on the role responsibilities a more accurate decision could be made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have tried many compensation benchmark websites earlier, and I mostly use the free version to help me understand my team's pay level compared to the market trend. I do this to ensure that we pay fairly. I am also someone, who is not looking for exact numbers but a rough picture and salary.com has been a very reliable guide for this search always.

I only use their website (not sure if they have an app, never tried). There are various parameters that I can check, including the salary and salary plus benefits. If you are smart enough, you can create the entire salary master structure from their data. I have refined few JDs using their Job description part (Directly took some sentences and copied them). I am also particularly fond of the factor section which below at each designation as it brings me the closest to my search.

And its funny, but I also end up at the job opening section for my role (even though I just come here to check salary for the roles I am hiring for) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge I have with this website is the amount of ad. They are very loud and annoying and due to this probably, it takes a lot of time for the website to load fully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can dial in on specific job duties and qualifications, even by industry, to try and get the most accurate information. It's great that we can split up jobs to try and equate a salary to what a split role might look like, allowing us to cost out what that role should be paid based on the split. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There could be more research and time spent on the 'discounts' on jobs. I'd like to see more on what a discount should look like and when it should be applied based on market, not based on subjectivity of the user inputting the information in Salary.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Salary.com is that the implementation team is very competent and creative. I feel as if they are eager to help the client succeed right off the bat with a successful implementation process. When the team runs into issues, they look for work arounds. When I asked them a question, they are prompt to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that the look of the platform can be a bit dated and old. Also, navigation can be difficult since the layout is not particularly pleasant to look at. I imagine that as I use the platform more, it will become more intuitive. Until then, I do have to spend more time than I look trying to get to the right place.

I do like the ability to look up salary ranges for different job and to help create job descriptions- simple jobs were there like AP Clerk or CFO- allot of finance related information and even customer service - what I would call the basic information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We work in such a unique industry- it is extremely hard to find jobs and pay that fit most of circumstances of our positions.

Then there is the COST- so outrageously high and long contracts with no early out. Simply robbing us- when we wanted out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, quick implementation, amazing customer support, the best data integrity. I'm in CompAnalyst all the time. I cringe if I have to do things the "old school" way. The other comp solutions I've looked at are not at the caliber that Salary.com's tools. They are not free or cheap, but they are the best over all value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. They are great. I am a repeat customer. I've been using CompAnalyst for probably 10 years now. I've used this tool at multiple employers. I've recommended it to friends and colleagues. And now as a consultant, I recommend it to my clients. They really are the best overall value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the reports on Salary.com. Once I've benchmarked a job, I appreciate getting a detailed report that I can share with leaders during compensation discussions, which is my favorite part of the product. These reports are invaluable as they show industry scopes and detailed job descriptions of roles, covering all compensable factors. I use these reports with my talent acquisition team when making offers and with hiring managers when planning new jobs or roles. The insights they provide concerning salary perspective are very valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say the AI component of it is a bit lacking. I love the fact that there is the AI capability, which is great for looking at unique roles, but using the AI part means you don't get those customized detailed reports. It would be nice if while using AI to benchmark those unique roles, we could also get a detailed report of the findings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Salary.com's global reach, including regions like South Africa. Its user experience is very easy, and I appreciate how flexible it is, allowing for different scopes and levels. It's competitive with bigger names and allows benchmarking in local currency with various levels like non-exempt, professional, and managerial. It gives total compensation information and lets me adjust premiums easily. The initial setup was straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think if you could add multiple jobs that you're working on to do multiple composites especially if they're all in the same job family. It would go faster but this also could be a user training that I need. Other than the one I just mentioned the ability to pull market data for multiple job codes at a time.
