OUtstanding

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.

What they liked
  • 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
Room for improvement
  • I have yet to be dissatisfied
  • The software has been excellent and delivered as sold and beyond

Easy to use, more than sufficient data

Verified reviewer

What they liked
  • CompAnalyst has a large selection of jobs and job levels from which to analyze
  • There are very few jobs we cannot find data
  • The data provided is very helpful in our benchmarking and compensation process
  • The ability to adjust the job for specific skills and/or certifications and adjusting the criteria (years' experience, education, direct reports, etc
  • ) is wonderful
Room for improvement
  • We do not have any complains about the CompAnalyst system

User friendly Design

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.

What they liked
  • 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
Room for improvement
  • 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 is a great tool for HR when deciding competitive salaries!

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

What they liked
  • 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
Room for improvement
  • 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

CompAnalyst Market Data

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.

What they liked

CompAnalyst makes it easy to run market research on our jobs, ensuring we maintain competitiveness in the workforce

Room for improvement
  • There are many add on features
  • It would be nice to bundle more into each package

Supplied reliable data to facilitate sound pay determination

Verified reviewer

What they liked
  • 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
Room for improvement

Some of the data sets had to be manually update because of a newer data in the market which can be tiresome and might contain errors

Drastically cut down transaction time; New reports function invaluable

Used unspecified for less than 2 years

What they liked
  • This is my second compensation year using CompXL
  • After the initial year of implementation, the software cut down my year-end compensation process drastically
  • In previous years, I would be at the office until 10pm every night for weeks on end and would be meticulously searching for file linkage errors and missed updates
  • The worst part about distributing Excel files to each of your department leaders individually is how difficult it is to keep track of minor tweaks and adjustments made throughout the inevitable iterations of the compensation process
  • The software is completely customized to my own uniquely complicated incentive compensation structure at my firm, which I would not be able to find anywhere else to this great of detail
  • My biggest qualms with the software in the first year was the lack of reporting/filtering capabilities
  • They have updated that this year and the reporting functionality is literally invaluable
  • While it might take a less tech-savvy person a while to get the hang of the configuration of reports, for someone like me (who can manipulate excel from an intermediate to advanced level), the new reports allow me the perfect amount of autonomy to configure as many complex reports as I'd like
  • My CEO requires 30+ reports a year, so semi-automating this process was crucial
  • This has made my life so much easier that the biggest issue is me being LESS meticulous and detail-oriented because I trust the program more
Room for improvement
  • The most obnoxious part is the uploading of employee data since I generally have many small, one-off adjustments to make that add up
  • You have to import it instead of tweaking it within the system
  • The obvious worst part about CompXL is the user interface, which is
  • very excel-like
  • This isn't going to be like logging into ADP, or Ultipro, or SuccessFactors to do your compensation process
  • But what it lacks in the modern widget-designed HRIS, it makes up in functionality
  • You can do a LOT more in this program than you can in any of those programs, because you are basically only limited to the limitations of Excel--which are few

Great tool with a great interface

Financial Services

What they liked
  • 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
Room for improvement

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