March 8, 2018 4.0 I am looking forward to using it this year for our annual reviews. It is going to allow me to play with percentages and allow my managers the ability to utilize it also. Pros Compease really helps place employees in the correct salary range and it gives us fresh comp survey info so we know if we are paying our employees correctly. Cons The only problem with the software that I have had is transferring the compratio info to excel. I have had to call them to assist me with this because it wouldn't work for me. Review Source R Reviewer Speech Language Pathology Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "An organized and reliable program " April 1, 2025 5.0 Overal I enjoy Compease and it’s something I would recommend to others in the future. Pros I like how it keeps things organizing. I like how I can depend on Compease and customize it to my liking. Cons It was a little confusing at first to understand but after a while, I was able to get a hang of it. Review Source R Reviewer Specialist Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Compease provides all of the information I need to manage the compensation function." May 16, 2025 4.0 Easy to use and provides quality customer support. Compease also accepts client suggestions for improvements and incorporates them into the process. Pros Provides meaningful salary ranges so I can have a meaningful salary administration program. Aids in developing job descriptions. Cons Nothing really. I don't like having to break down duties by percentages, but I work around that. I do understand why Compease uses the feature. Review Source William C. CEO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great Software" May 8, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy to set up and get working with my team. It had a great interface allowing for easy navigation and streamlining workflow. Cons That it wasn't decentralized, so if there is a breach, my data can easily be tampered and my stolen. Review Source Esam A. Administrator Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Compease is reliable" March 28, 2025 4.0 Very nice service, helpful to the company needs. Pros Ease of use, lots of features that are reliable. Cons Some customer service call difficulties in the past which have not recurred. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Compease Review" April 1, 2025 5.0 my overall experience With Compease was pretty good Pros I love the simplicity ane ease of use of this app Cons It could be a little faster for my liking Review Source R Reviewer VP, Human Resources Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Functionality of software provides confidence in pay structures" September 20, 2017 5.0 Total compensation is a large driver in employee engagement, so having a good grasp on the largest piece of that puzzle is instrumental in our business. This software helps me to keep moving our pay practices forward so that we remain competitive in our markets. Pros The Compease system is easy to use and helps me to be confident in the pay structures we offer to employees. It quickly calculates compa-ratios out by employee, helps us to determine pay structures for hybrid jobs that don't have an apples-to-apples comparison in the industry, and allows us to manage multiple pay structures. We have separate structures for exempt, non-exempt, and executive pay, as well as exempt and non-exempt IT structures that have a similar scoring process with different weights applied. It helps me to analyze the data in multiple ways to make sure that we have sound pay practices at the Credit Union. We also are able to develop our merit matrix and run it against current pay to quickly see what the overall impact will be to budget and compa-ratio if the merit matrix solely is used for increases. Being located in eight states, I also like that I can monitor pay practices in other locations to make sure that we are paying competitively in each market. Cons Compease uses a wide variety of data points for determining salary ranges to use, however we do not have direct access to the results of those surveys. It would be nice to see some actual ranges for the positions, if they were to pay higher or lower in the ranges throughout the market. Review Source R Reviewer Director of Human Resources Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "We have been using the Compease software since 2008 and are very pleased with the results. " September 28, 2017 5.0 The Compease system allowed us to evaluate our staff positions using a consistent approach and methodology rather than the home-grown system we were using. Due to the consistency of this product, for the first time we felt confident in posting the staff salary grades and salary schedules for access by our employees. Pros The ease of use by both our supervisors and the HR staff, as well as the consistency it brings to the evaluation of our staff positions. We also like that the software is now Cloud-based rather than PC-based allowing you to access the system from anywhere. Cons In the Job Master section, sometimes the slider bar which allows you to quickly access positions on the list doesn't show up. Review Source R Reviewer Vice President/Human Resources Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent product" September 10, 2019 5.0 The only time I have problems is when it is appraisal time and trying to get Compease and PerformancePro to work together for me. But considering we only do it once a year, I forget. Pros Its ease of use! It is easy to find the answer if you don't remember it. Cons There is really nothing I don't like about it. It is very easy to use and understand. Review Source R Reviewer Senior Consultant (Principal - Ret.) Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Very positive - great compensation solution, and excellent customer support" January 19, 2018 5.0 Market based salary ranges that are internally equitable - perceived by the employees as being fair. Pros Cloud based - very user friendly. The software solution provides market based salary ranges that are also internally equitable - helps convey the fairness of the system. The Compease team is very skilled and helpful - we love the system! Cons For Native American tribes that have a different minimum wage than their geographic location, Compease isn't able to accommodate this difference. Review Source PR Pauline R. Vice President Administration Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Very easy product to use. Gives a good indication of current economic salary ranges."

Review Source R Reviewer HR Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "The customer support is great. I really appreciated the on-site meetings/training we received." June 4, 2018 5.0 A customized compensation structure that we will be able to easily keep updated and relevant from year to year. Pros It was far easier to learn and use than I anticipated. I really liked having someone come to our site to meet with managers, explain the process and assist in getting relevant information from them to produce effective results. Cons There are a lot of features that I haven't yet tried, but expect them to be as user friendly as any others. Review Source R Reviewer Director of Human Resources Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Easy to use, lots of capability" July 14, 2017 5.0 Pros To be able to customize the performance reviews to each position.

May 17, 2017 5.0 I have been a Compease user for over 8 years and can't imagine using any other tool to effectively manage our compensation program. It is not only easy to use, but generates comprehensive reports to assist with analysis of our current pay structure and the Merit Planning Matrix feature makes the annual budgeting process a breeze! I highly recommend this product to any professional responsible for compensation administration in their organization. Review Source R Reviewer VP of HR & Admin ### "Incredible tool at a great price!" May 17, 2017 5.0 Compease saves me from having to add a "compensation" member to my HR team. Their comprehensive salary reports and intuitive position grading system have been a great tool for managing both internal and external compensation equity. Their team has been responsive and helpful and spent considerable time with my organization to make sure that the results were exactly what we needed. Review Source R Reviewer VP Human Resources ### "Terrific Business Partner!" May 17, 2017 5.0 I wish I had known of this tool when I first started managing compensation. All in one, exceptional service and prompt, responsive personnel! In addition, they are always seeking ways to improve ease of use and results. This would also be great for a company without full time HR folks! Review Source R Reviewer VP/HR ### "Long time Compease customer" May 17, 2017 5.0 I have worked with Compease since 1999, so I have worked with it as "software" & now as a web based service. I am very pleased with the user-friendly ease of use, as well as the competence of the customer service reps I have dealt with.

August 16, 2017 5.0 compa ratio, and creating job descriptions easily. Pros Easy to navigate. I really like the dashboard feature, and all reports I can create.
