What do you like best about Xactly Incent?

Versioning of people, position, quota etc is one of the most awesome feature that Xactly. I love this feature because I have not seen this in systems like Oracle incentive compensation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xactly Incent?

Below few points that i dislike:

1) I wish lookup tables would have shown total count of line items added.

2) A custom option to run calculation batch only for few reps would be a great option to have.

3) Once batch is run and payments are released we cannot go and rerun the same batch again as release gets affected during that process, there is a workaround but its cumbersome.

4) Reporting has to be improved a lot, its hassle to build reports in Xatly Analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xactly Incent solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) Xactly helps to run calculations swiftly and accurately with minimal manual intervention.

2) Incentive statement is also helpful and gives a detailed view for the reps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xactly Incent?

I don't like Xactly in any of its capacities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xactly Incent?

The UX is arguably the worst I have ever had to interface with at my company. The reporting doesn't map to the needs of our business and the information is often, at best, faulty and not correct. Xactly has been referred to as "Almostly" within our company pretty much since its adoption. The worst part of my job is the week-to-week management of frustration my team brings to me with this faulty tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xactly Incent solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xactly has only created problems. It is not solving any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xactly Incent?

Xactly has been relatively intuitive and simple. I really love the Search Orders and Results. Makes it easy to pull the data from the site in order to understand how the engine is calculating the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xactly Incent?

2 big issues we have run into:

1) Unreleasing released commissions. It took us way too long in order to figure out and understand how to do so. And the time that we did it without uploading a template...I can't even recall how we solved that issue. Probably had to call customer support for that. This process should be more intuitive than it currently is.

2) The new UI changes. Last year we were told the old UI was going away and we panicked because the new UI was not only new and unfamiliar, but it also lacked the functionality of the old UI. The Heirarachy data pulls wouldn't work and I just couldn't understand why Xactly would push such a buggy UX on your customers. Perhaps to attract new users with a flashy update? IDK but man I hope you never lose the old UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xactly Incent?

Xactly is a user friendly tool that really helps manage processing and reporting commissions. Incent is only one aspect of this tool, which is the key part. You can easily manage indivudial team member data, quotas, TI and revenue individually or in a batch. The processing time is overall pretty fast compared to other applications out there. The UI is great and constantly changing to accomodate additional needs, requirements and enhancements; although those changes are not so drastic and often benefitial and enables the user to be more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xactly Incent?

The only thing I dislike is when having to make drastic mid-year plan changes, where rules and formulas also need to change. This can sometimes become a little frustrating, but Xactly support is always available and quick to lend a helping hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xactly Incent:

Xactly is a great tool and beneficial to both the admins and end users (sales reps & managers). Implementation can be lenghty, but is well worth it. If ever you run into a problem, they have an incredible support team that is always more than willing to help make iit right or help you understand what's needed to fix the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xactly Incent solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Incent frees up a lot of extra time to handle other responsibilites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overall details it shows on a monthly/quaterly basis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xactly Incent?

It's not always accurate due to updating, but that's not really an issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xactly Incent solving and how is that benefiting you?

To be able to see where you are and where you should be heading. Little details in terms of revenue versus margin, helps understanding the position an individual is in, so that he/she can translate this towards his/her target. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xactly Incent?

Xactly has a very clean interface, the ability to handle complex comp plans, is user friendly and was easy to implement. It also has great versioning capabilities which make off cycle comp updates easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xactly Incent?

It takes a little bit of time to learn your way around the system, but our team started with no user experience and was able to pick it up relatively quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xactly Incent solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xactly allowed us to get all of our comp plans out of excel and into a centeralized system. This allowed us to automate the generation monthly statements and greatly reduced the time required to calculate monthly and quarterly commissions. Another major time save is the ability to edit and send comp plans through the system for signature, something we use to spend a lot of time managing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xactly Incent?

This is something i check almost daily. I love that it breaks down so many different categories. I can sort for the month, quarter, and year so easily. My goals are kept forefront and for someone motivated by goals, this is a must. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xactly Incent?

At times, it can be hard to follow the actual breakdown of where the commission is coming from. For example, there will be three different pay outs for one sale. It would be helpful if they were labled according to what they are paying on such as delivery, terms, monthly rate, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xactly Incent solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is giving me a daily tool to check regarding not only my commission but also my revenue goals. It's the best tool to show me the breakdown of my month, quarter, and yearly goals and acheivements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
