I have had an overall good experience with them. I think it is a good database for comp analysis and creating pay ranges.

Pros

The data is reflective of global an US compensation which is helpful data to compare with other industries.

Cons

The cost is high to sign up for the program. They used to have where you can do a generic one but it is not based on the factors that make the match good.

Easy to use and maneuver through the system. We use the app for many different features and I find it easy to find what I am looking for.

Pros

Love this for pricing jobs quickly. With a company that has many different job descriptions and a need to improve our team. This feature is very helpful.

Cons

Cost for service, I feel this is a little elevated. I feel that the price should be a little more competitive with other platforms.

Salary.com that I can access myself, wonderful. The sales team who tries to sell you the compensation software they have-bad experience.

Pros

It is very transparent on what qualifications fall under which job titles and salaries. I like all the probing questions it asks to get you the most accurate data such as industry, job title, and location. It is very easy to use!

Cons

The sales team is very pushy and misleading when trying to get you to set up a demo of their paid HR software for salary benchmarking. Their original call in which they cold called me, they made it sound like they wanted to set up a 15 minute call to ask me questions/ take a survey about compensation for my employees to better build their listed salaries on their website. Then, once I agreed to the call, I was emailed a link to a zoom meeting for a product demo. I asked if I was mistaken what it was about and they said oh no we do need your input but also want to show you the paid version of our site. During the meeting they asked me no questions and just tried to sell me a software/show me how to use their paid software.

The comprehensive data provided by CompAnalyst has assisted our company in making workable and fair pay decisions. The market data is quite detailed, thus enabling us to see where we stand as far as compensation is concerned in this industry.

CompAnalyst has become the first place we go when researching market data. It has helped us ensure we are paying our employees fairly, while maintaining a competitive edge in the workforce. The platform has many great features, however it would be nice if there were more features included in the base package.

Had a great experience my first year. Worked through a few bumps, which was to be expected, and am excited to continue to perfect it each year.

Pros

The customizable features. I didn't think we would find a tool that met all of our unique needs. Also, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], our rep at the company, was there anytime we needed him.

Cons

There are a few things that we set up that I think I would change for the next cycle. But it was more because we were trying to get a little too complicated with it when we could have simplified the process on our end a little more.

Pros

\-Fantastic support from the implementation team -99.9% customizable -Comp statement feature saved us an enormous amount of time

Cons

This is not really a con if you take my advice here, but the fact that nearly everything is customizable and configurable makes for a more challenging implementation in terms of designing your comp planning workbook exactly how you want it. I strongly suggest planning for the full amount of implementation time that they suggest and not trying to rush it.

We went to the CompXL team with very little time to implement this program for use during the annual compensation process. The team assured me that they could have this up in running with plenty of time to test and implement. The team was completely right about the implementation. We were successful that year that we stayed another two years after the initial implementation. I would suggest this software to any company that needs a simple system, low cost, and fully supported. Great system!

Pros

\* The software was very simplistic and easy for our manager population to complete a Compensation process \* If there were kinks or fixes to be made, we got immediate service to get issues resolved \* Programmers were very knowledgeable of the software and very responsive \* The program was easy to implement in a limited time

Cons

\* The system looks so much like excel that the users wanted it to act exactly like excel.

We implemented the software as a temporary solution last year while we determine if/when we'll implement a full HCM that includes compensation. It replaced a system that was extremely difficult to use, lacked flexibility, and took 4-5 hours to refresh reports with a significantly manual process. CompXL gave us exactly what we needed at a reasonable price. This was our first attempt at implementing a common system worldwide and we were able to meet almost all expectations for each of our operating companies and come to agreement on a single configuration solution when necessary. The interface was easy for most managers to use given that it's very Excel-like. The ability to change the hierarchy helps when we have people moving around. The reporting runs in seconds and is up to the minute with changes that have been entered. My only complaint is that the software runs slowly when using the online version of the workbook and when refreshing pages/moving between pages in the application.

Pros

The flexibility of the software to do most of what we needed. We were able to customize the reporting so our award approval process is very quick to complete. In addition, the customer service received from our account rep was always very timely and informative.

Cons

The slowness. When using the software, it was slow to refresh the pages, sometimes taking up to 10 seconds or a little more to refresh.

Thanks for the valuable feedback. Per your comments about latency, we redesigned the home page so that it now has pagination to improve the page load time when viewing a large number of budget groups from the company level. We also doubled the memory on each of the data base servers so that even during peak usage season, the interface will respond promptly.

CompensationXL is a great tool and I would recommend to anyone seeking an alternative to an HCM.

Pros

CompensationXL is a great alternative to an HCM. It is highly configurable and intuitive, even for those Managers who aren't tech savvy.

Cons

CompensationXL was such a great alternative, I don't have any Cons to mention.

My overall experience is positive with the software. Even when I have a difficult time figuring something out, the support folks with whom I have dealt have been very helpful and friendly, so I don't hesitate to reach out with questions. Customer support, who has been my contact lately, has been great.

Pros

It is very easy for our users to understand and employ.

Cons

There isn't really a thing that I don't like about the software. It is probably just me, but as the administrator, I find that some things are less intuitive when I need to make global changes to the system.

Great overall experience. Prior to CompXL we had a very labor intensive process using excel files that would be altered by users causing significant administration issues. CompXL provided a framework and functionality to control the data and user interface eliminating the ability for users to to alter sheets.

Pros

Great product. We use excel to a great extent and CompXL allows to leverage excel to manage our compensation information and processes in a very effective customized solution for compensation management.

Cons

I have yet to be dissatisfied. The software has been excellent and delivered as sold and beyond.

I would recommend CompAnalyst to others looking to get market data to benchmark jobs!

Pros

Salary.com/Companalyst is user friendly and holds enough data to find almost any job. Plus the ability to build a hybrid in the event you can't find a job, is helpful.

Cons

My cons are more about the level of service I've paid for at this point. I have a basic package and would benefit from more flexibility but have budget restraints.

Pros

The tool is great and offers all the functionality we need. The interface is clean and it is easy to find what is needed. All interactions I have had with customer support have been pleasant as well.

Cons

The PDF output when there are multiple scopes or a hybrid position with market data isn't as clean as the web interface.
