Hear from customers modernizing their commissions program

Based on 150 ratings submitted in the Sales Performance Management market as of September 2023.

I see CaptivateIQ scaling with our plans because the functionality within the system allows us to grow as the company grows. [CaptivateIQ] was much more flexible than any other commission system… we’ve put our full confidence behind CaptivateIQ.
Zain M.
Lead Sales Compensation System Administrator
I wanted a solution that could scale with our org. One that would allow us to make the changes without professional services. The solution also needs to be easy for end-users to leverage and see transparency in their commission calculations.
Michael D.
Director of Revenue Operations
For finance and revops folks, the CaptivateIQ spreadsheet-like interface and formulas experience relies on a much more familiar skill set than a black box coded solution. This inevitably lowers our TCO, because I can manage changes myself, instead of relying on engineers.
Marcello H.
Head of Finance
This additional time frees up space for analysis to see how our sales teams are being commissioned, if they’re being commissioned the right way, bringing the right revenue… I can ensure that our plans are really designed to be aligned with our company goals.
Alex W.
Financial Analyst
Automating our commissions process has saved us money [and] drastically reduces the amount of revenue loss due to errors. It takes a day to calculate and another day to check for errors.
Matthew G.
Senior Director of Finance
CaptivateIQ has freed up my time… I’m now able to make more informed decisions around commission payouts and manage spend better.
