Spiff is really well suited to start-up sales cycles, and providing visibility for the sales team, and the sales team affiliated employees into the overall health of the business, and how it affects their bottom line personally. It's less well suited to companies where everyone is on a pooled commission structure, or where Sales isn't as important to the company.
Spiff is a great tool that allows commission visibility across our organization. It's been perfect for keeping track of our monthly earnings/numbers. Spiff has been very easy to follow and its platform is quite user-centric. You can easily scroll between historical commission data as well. The entire sales department uses it to my knowledge.
Pros
Visibility to commission.
Automated a manual process of pulling salesforce reports.
UX is solid and easy to follow.
Cons
Real-time tracking of our current commission before the month finishes.
