If I am honest, the price. It does everything I need, but is by far one of the most cost effective on the market.

Cons:

Hard to find cons as it fits my needs. Let's say multilingual and multicurrency if you need those features.

Review of Commissionly

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

For our small team we wanted to automate the way we calculate commissions within the business. There is a lot of software for big businesses however this is the only one we found targeted at small business with a cost that was reasonable. Thereafter adding targets and commission percentages was easy. My team can also now login and track their own progress and work towards the goals that have been set.

Cons:

Connecting to our CRM would be great so there is a bit of manual work tracking leads and customers to actual sales, however the reporting and layout of Commissionly is such that tracking these things is easy. They are aware of this and upon speaking to live support on their website have said that this feature is in the pipeline.

Commissionly is an invaluable tool for our company.

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

We previously managed commissions manually with spreadsheet. Commissionly saves hours of time and we can avoid calculation errors. It also gives our team visibility into their commission status on demand.

Cons:

We need to spend more time on report writing, to see what information is available to us. It's not easy to see how to set up the reports. Design and implementation was a long process, partly because our commission structure is complicated. The team was very responsive and we ended up with a product that is exactly what we wanted and is easy for the team to understand.

Best value for money

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

If you are a small to medium sized company and till date you calculate the comissions for your employees manually just because all the softwares out there are either very complex to use or come with a hefty price, then Commissionly is defintely the solution you have been looking for. With a very small price on a contract free, monthly basis you can get this software to calculate the commissions for your employees. Every employee can check their commision real time and how close they are to meeting their targets. The report also shows how much commission they made in the previous months to keep track of themselves. On top of this, it also shows the employee their average commission compared to other employees for any specific month. You can easily import data from any source which makes it alot easier instead of manually writing entries. It also has a great CRM feature that comes in quite handy. For the employers or a manager, it is just as easy creating a target based on revenue or profit for the employers, a quick step by step wizard has been created that guides on how to create monthly or quaterly targets on a monthly or quaterly basis for your employees. Worst case scenario, if there is something you don't seem to understand they have great customer support that will definately solve any issues you might have. Highly Recommended!

Cons:

For the time I have been using this, I have not come across any cons so far.

My review of Commissionaly

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: My practice runs purely on a commission so I figured I'd like to try their free trial and I was not disappointed! After the 30 free days, I couldn't see how my business would function without it. It has been an amazing asset to my small business.

Pros:

Commissionaly helps me keep track of all my commission plans very easily on one, user friendly tool. It supports an unlimited number of currency types, meaning that I can pay my employees in their local currency from wherever I am.

Cons:

Commissionly is a very helpful tool and I am yet to find any cons or problems.

Excellent for small to medium business

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Excellent product, will save huge amounts of time on calculating commissions, allows me to set targets for my team that they can see at a glance.
Won't break the bank!

Pros:

I will be able to calculate my commissions quickly and easily. My team can see their performance in comparison to others and how far off their target they are. Very simple to use. Great that you can back date your commissions. Easy customization for any commissions structure. Nothing like this out there at the moment. Most importantly affordable for small businesses.

Cons:

Haven't found anything I don't like yet.

Definitly a great tool

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: I'm running a mid size company in France and all my 15 sales people are English speaking. Commissionly rapidly became their best friend : it allows them to know everything about there commission in real time and wherever they are! No need to train them, no need for them to use a specific private Network to access the app.
And it allows me to define precisely the sales objectives and follow them when needed.
Really helpfull! Just go!

Pros:

It's ideal for small to medium business It's really cost-effective:after a benchmark of many other commission tools we never found an equivalent You don't need any contract to use it It's so user-friendly : you don't need any training, there are many help boxes in the pages You can import data from many different sources and also export data if you need more advanced Excel-based analysis for instance CRM features are really convenient and can avoid using another software for that need Reports are often based on graphs you can parameterize to have a good overview of your business

Cons:

Hard to find cons as it fits my needs... Let's say multilingual and multicurrency if you need those features!

Great solution to an intricate problem.

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: Commissionally takes a lot of dependency away from one-dimensional spreadsheets and introduces what seems to be a proven workflow for managing sales commissions.

Pros:

Commissionly tackles a somewhat intricate problem that many people battle to solve elegantly in their business environment. This is something that most small to medium businesses don't even think about, and just try and figure it out as they go along. Commissionly helps you to think sales commission management through properly up front, and provides a practical solution for managing this.

Cons:

Currently the only way to input the sales data is using a CSV input, but I have been informed by the team that they are working on ZAP connectors and an API to make this more fluid.

What i think of Commissionly.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Its made my life easier and my staff happier and I think it's good value for money.

Pros:

If you have sales representatives all around the world, Commissionoly's multi-currency feature is a must-have. For each sales representative and your sales manager who receives overrides, you can select a different currency if necessary. This function is excellent and has helped me save time and run my business more efficiently.

Cons:

In my short time using commissionly I haven't run into any issues so far.

Simple, Affordable, Effective...Amazing

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Finally I have software that allows me to manage commissions on a spreadsheet that isn't tedious. No more annoying requests from sales reps asking me for an update because with Commissionly they can login and access to all the information whenever they want. And on top of all this it is very affordable.

Pros:

I have searched extremely hard for a piece of software that would replace our commission spreadsheet however everything I have found has been far too expensive. I run a small business that that doesn't run on an unlimited budget but I still require software that is easy to use, functional and allows me to manage my commissions on a spreadsheet effectively. Commissionly achieves all these things and more. Commissionly has really had a huge effect on my business.

Cons:

My business has its own CRM but with Commissionly it does not connect to it directly. It does however have its own roadmap and it is also easy to export the data to CSV for now.

Best commission software in the market!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Excellent. We needed some custom development work, which created a lot of questions and additional time as we got acclimated with the software. Their team has been patient and thorough with each call and question.

Pros:

Prior to working with Commissionsly, we have tried other software options but to no avail. My company has a complex commission structure that would take days to complete a commission schedule for each month. Now, we are able to complete our commission schedule in a matter of a couple of short hours. The Commissionly reports dissect commissions in easy to use, meaning reports for our reps and our managers.

Cons:

I would like to see greater levels of user accessibility restrictions.

Very user friendly and great UI and ticks all the boxes!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Great visualisations for management and the sales team. Easy to revised and edit. Reporting at the click of a button with no ambiguities!
Highly recommend this! It is really easy to use, easy to interpret and closes the door for potential disputes with the sales people.
It's a slick piece of software that has been well designed with a lot of thought gone into it. It exports really well too.

Pros:

The ease of use and intuitive set up wizards. I also like that it's unique in the way is collects, analyses and displays the commission data. I highly recommend this to anybody interested. Never lose track or get into arguments with your sales people again.

Cons:

Looks good so far! Recently introduced to the product.
