What do you like best about the product?
The Xactly Connect data platform is an extraordinary capability compared to other vendors in the space. It's ability to act both as a database and a data processing engine allow the customer to build and maintain very sophisticated data pipepline tasks. The Plan Design areas (Plans, Rules, Formulas, Rate Tables, Lookup Tables) have been improved in the past few years with the addition of tags and copy/paste capabilities to the extent that - for my team - the plan configuration process takes the least amount of time in a traditional waterfall-based implementation project. The Xactly Extend module is very promising and I look forward to partnering with Xactly to see how far we can push it.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is outdated & requires many clicks Plan Doc administration & customization is cumbersome Estimator & Illustrator poor fit for most customers No standard observability capabilities (alerting is all custom) No API's for emitting logs/metrics Customer Support tickets are closed or ignored without providing RCA/5-Why's Internal Connect server errors can have cascading impacts on user data Connect API/JDBC endpoint is not instrumented for bulk-uploading of data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the value we get out of Xactly relates to payout accuracy and cycle-time reduction. We have Xactly configured to handle daily scheduled data synchronizations with our HRIS, CRM, and data warehouse source systems. The system calculations quota attainment and incentive compensation payouts around the clock. These configurations give our payees, administrators, and other end users the ability to make decisions based on near-real-time data. Xactly Incent's date effectivity allows us to manage changes to sales incentive plans, reference data, and quota crediting rules and have those changes impact only the measurement periods to which they apply. This makes certain requirements like proration, ramping quota, guarantee formulas, etc. very simple to maintain in the system. Xactly Forms (soon to be replaced by Extend) allows us to have a process in place for management to review and approve payouts AND automatically send them to our payroll providers. This takes all the operational overhead and risk of human error out of the equation.

What do you like best about the product?
The tool can be configured a lot to make your desired result a success. You can make your conditions very complicated or very basic based on what your business needs are. Being able to clone rules and reapply them makes it very easy to rinse and repeat for other positions. They recently updated their UI and it's a much fresher look. They always are putting new releases out to enhance to tool further and you can add requests to improve the tool too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because they are in the process of enhancing their tool through multiple product releases, sometimes there are minor bugs that usually have a workaround and they are willing to investigate and fix them. There are some enhancements that they could add that would drastically improve their conditional logic writing (which I have a request in for). Sometimes, finding documentation on what their tool does or what an exact feature can/can't do lacks a little bit but after a support ticket in, you can get the answer. Just hope they update their documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calculating very complex commission plans among a diverse organization and wide range of products. Having this tool allows us to step away from manual calculations and allows users to have a dashboard to review.

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.

What do you like best about the product?
The upsides of using Xactly Incent are having trusted and automated data and calculations. Our reps' incentive statements are refreshed daily and they're able to see where they are quota-wise or commisison-wise in a given month at any time. I also appreciate how easily the hierarchy can be updated as this can change from month to month.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of using Xactly Incent is the lack of reporting. Currently, we aren't able to export and see all details for incentive statements, especially manual payments with comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Xactly Incent is helping us reduce the amount of manual effort by our finance team for calculating commissions for our sales team, manually sending out compensation plans and getting signatures, and updating reps throughout the month on where they may be in a given month as everything used to be in Excel and done once the month was closed.

What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to navigate. I like the user interface which is simple and effective
What do you dislike about the product?
We do have certain times of the month/year where the system only shows the previous years results. Not sure why this is is since I would assume that the current point in time could be frozen whilst our finance teams work on the data in the background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to see a point in time achievement and track this back to my goals. This allows me to focus on the items i need in order to achieve maximum results.
