Connect is Xactly what we were looking for!

Pros

  • Scheduled automation.
  • Data integration.
  • Process notifications.
  • Quality Assurance and reporting.

Cons

  • SQL isn't the same syntax in Connect as it is in Sequal Server Management Studio, making it difficult for communities outside of Xactly to help with certain issues.
  • Sometimes the scheduling part of the tool does not work as expected, but over all it is consistent.

  • Saves us 10+ hours of work on a weekly basis.
  • Ensures that the results are consistent without manual intervention.
