Sales Performance Management solutions from SAP SuccessFactors vs. ZenCentiv

SAP Sales Performance Management from Success Factors works great if the incentive calculation is simple. However, if it contains a lot of constraints and filters or is dynamic, it is not friendly to changes or complexity in terms of configuration and time to calculate the incentives. The advantages of using SAP Sales Performance Management are that the process is controlled, the data is in the cloud, and the roles and permissions make it more secure.

• Configurable out of the box.
• Allows for complex compensation rules (Rate tables, MDLTs, etc).

• Using names to reference payees in the compensation platform, instead of their ID
• Allow an Advisor to see their compensation as well as how their employees compensation without requiring to proxy

I would use this product if it were needed due to very complex plans/organization

My rating is because even though the system works well and has many good features as far as the regular hierarchy, ability to enter fixed variables and the use of rate and lookup tables, there are few sticking points. The custom hierarchy is not easy to use as it is not just point and click. Also, the rule writing is difficult and requires a lot of testing to ensure the results are what you are expecting to calculate or pay.

SAP SuccessFactors is better than the Accord Sales Execution Platform because the automation it provides is something out of the box for us. Which was very much less with Accord, and customization according to our need is better than that also. So we can focus on sales and do not need to worry about anything else.
