Everstage

Pros: Real-time commission visibility is the standout feature. Being able to see exactly what each deal is worth before it closes - broken down by product, discount, and term - removes the guesswork that used to come with waiting for a monthly payout statement. The pipeline simulator is particularly useful: I can model different deal structures and see the commission impact instantly, which genuinely influences how I negotiate. It's also removed any back-and-forth with finance over payout accuracy - everything is traceable and the logic is transparent.

Cons: The initial setup and plan configuration does require some back-and-forth with the implementation team, so the time-to-value isn't immediate. For more complex commission structures it can take a little while to get everything mapped correctly. That said, once it's live the experience is smooth - it's more a reflection of the complexity of commission plans generally than a flaw in the product itself.

Pros: Everstage has made payroll and incentive management remarkably simple, with a streamlined system and highly accurate calculations. As a team lead, I have seen firsthand how its transparent tracking of performance and payouts has strengthened trust and boosted motivation across the team. The real-time visibility empowers team members to monitor their progress effortlessly, keeping them engaged and motivated to achieve even better results. Additionally, Everstage’s standardised and transparent calculation framework eliminates ambiguity, ensuring clarity and confidence in every payout.

Cons: There is an opportunity to further enhance the user interface, making the overall experience even more intuitive, seamless, and user-friendly. The presentation of detailed data through tables and banners could be further optimised to create a more intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly experience.

Pros: I really like how Everstage focuses on making incentive compensation simple, transparent, and motivating for sales teams. The real-time visibility into commissions stands out because it helps reps clearly understand their performance and stay motivated. I also appreciate how user-friendly and flexible the platform is, making it easier for companies to manage complex compensation plans without a lot of manual work.

Cons: One thing that could be improved is the level of customization and flexibility in more complex compensation plans. While the platform is very user-friendly, some advanced configurations can feel a bit limited or require additional support. Also, deeper integrations and more robust reporting options would make it even more powerful for teams that rely heavily on data and detailed performance insights

Pros: I love Everstage for its intuitive interface, real-time updates, customization options, and insightful analytics.

Cons: I have not experienced any con with the platform yetI have not experienced any con with the platform yet, and overall I find it to be a reliable and user-friendly option for my needs.

Pros: What stands out most: Real-time or near real-time tracking that keeps me in the loop Clean, intuitive interface that doesn’t take long to get used to Clear breakdowns of how commissions are calculated, which removes a lot of guesswork Helps me understand exactly where I stand against targets at any point in time

Cons: I honestly haven’t run into any major issues yet. If anything, I’d be curious to see how it scales with more complex compensation plans or edge cases, but so far it’s been smooth.

Pros: It stays up to date and delivers real-time insights as they happen, which makes it easy to stay informed on performance without needing to wait for delayed reporting. It helps keep me consistently up to date by providing timely visibility into key changes and trends as they occur, making it easier to stay aligned with overall performance in the moment.

Cons: While the platform provides a strong set of capabilities and valuable data, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate, especially when trying to locate specific features or move between different sections quickly. At times, the overall structure feels a bit complex, which can make it less intuitive for new users or those who are not using it on a daily basis. Because of this, there may be opportunities to simplify the navigation experience and make key workflows more straightforward and easier to access. Improving clarity in how different areas are organized, as well as reducing the number of steps required to reach commonly used insights or tools, could make the experience more efficient overall. A more streamlined and simplified navigation design would likely enhance usability and help users get to the information they need faster with less friction.

Pros: Ease of use. Very simple to navigate. There is a lot of great information, with just a few clicks. Great navigation.

Cons: The frequency of it timing out, and having to log back in. It does time out frequently. Not a big issue, but inconvenient at times.

Pros: Nothing really. Unnecessary tabs for sales, information provided in weird names which dont even explain what it is.

Cons: Absolutely not intuitive, hard to find relevant information. Unnecessary tabs for sales, information provided in weird names which dont even explain what it is.

Pros: Everstage stands out for its intuitive interface and ease of use. The platform makes it simple to track commissions and incentives in real time, which improves transparency and trust. I also appreciated the automation features, which reduce manual errors and save time, as well as the clear reporting dashboards that make performance insights easy to understand.

Cons: One drawback is that certain customizations can be limited, especially for more complex compensation structures. At times, generating highly specific reports required extra steps. Additionally, initial setup and configuration can take time, particularly if the compensation plans are detailed.

Pros: The commission trace showing the exact calculation in the backend, leaving no room for mistakes. The product has streamlined the comission calcuation for me and the rest of the rep. Quota tracking is made easier too.

Cons: mobile app is a bit clunky and there is no single report that show all the deals you closed in a year

Pros: The ability to see deal-by-deal breakdown of what you'll be making and why was incredibly helpful. Great to also see 'deferred' commissions as well.

Cons: More of a quirk for me personally - not the fault of Everstage - but initial confusion around what certain numbers meant and if not paid in this quarter, then when? Again, more of a quirk on my/my organizations end.

Pros: It is very easy to navigate and display vital information. I like the dash board because it is a snapshot of all the things I care about.

Cons: Nothing at the moment and if there is anything it is likely more related to the complex nature of our commission system.

Pros: Clear and transparent commission tracking Easy-to-use interface with minimal learning curve Reduces reliance on spreadsheets and manual tracking Good visibility into performance vs. payout Strong support during setup and onboarding

Cons: Limited flexibility for highly complex commission structures Reporting could be more customizable Notifications could be more advanced or configurable

Pros: Everstage help us track the team performance and measure variable payment every month. It makes it easy to track sales goals for each team member. I love how you get a code to log in each time, it is very secure.

Cons: There is nothing at the moment that we don't like about it. It is very intuitive, but if I had to change wosmething it would be the location of dashboards.

Pros: Ability to track your success. Any time I can log in and view what my Quota is and where am I up to date.

Cons: I did not find any disadvantages so far. It's been a great app that helps me track my productivity throughout the year.

Pros: Super user friendly compared to other softwares i have used in the tech sales industry and never crashes/bugs out!!

Cons: I truthfully dont have any complaints about the application or software that come to top of mind. Maybe having more custom features for sales reps and not just the admins??

Pros: Targets and commission are really clear, so you always know exactly what you’re working towards and what you’ll earn. The structure is straightforward and easy to understand, with a proper link between performance and payout, which makes a big difference day to day. There aren’t any surprises, and it’s easy to see how your efforts translate into commission, which keeps things fair and motivating.

Cons: Maybe not set up as well as it could have been for our internal configuration. This is something we have since worked on and the experience is better.

Pros: Everstage has been a great addition for me particularly because of how seamlessly it integrates with our CRM Salesforce. Commission data is pulled through accurately on every deal closed in Salesforce and has completely removed the need to manually calculate what I’ve earned after each deal. Previously, working out commission could be quite time consuming especially since I close a high volume of deals but now everything is clearly laid out and instantly visible.

Cons: Not so much a con, but one improvement would be having fully real time updates from Salesforce for commission calculations, rather than needing to wait until the next day for figures to refresh.

Pros: What I like most about Everstage is how it brings complete transparency and control to the entire commissions process. Instead of waiting until the end of the month and hoping numbers are right, I can see my pipeline, attainment, and projected earnings update in real time, which makes planning and motivation much easier.

Cons: What I liked least about Everstage is that there can be a bit of a learning curve at the start, especially when trying to fully understand all the configurations behind each plan and payout rule. At times, the level of detail can feel overwhelming if you only need a quick, high-level view. I also found that making small adjustments or testing hypothetical scenarios isn’t always as simple or self-serve as I’d like, so you may still need occasional support from the admin or RevOps team.

Pros: What stood out most about Everstage is how easy and intuitive it is to use. The platform is very straightforward, which made onboarding quick and day-to-day navigation seamless. At the same time, it offers a high level of granularity—you can really get into the details with commission structures, tracking, and reporting without it feeling overwhelming. It strikes a great balance between simplicity and flexibility, giving you both clarity and control.

Cons: While the platform is very strong overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. Some of the more advanced features can take a bit of time to fully understand, especially when setting up more complex commission structures. Additionally, there’s room for more customization in certain reports and dashboards to better fit specific business needs.

Pros: The user friendly interface which doesn’t have too many technicalities which makes my job a lot easier to understand and make my team understand on the commission part

Cons: I think they don’t show the old commission payout which i think should be added. In my case, i was only seeing my commission calculations for the past 3 quarters but if they could also show the previous ones that would be helpful

Pros: The platform makes it easy to track my earnings in real time, provides clear and accurate visibility into every deal, and simplifies understanding how my commissions are calculated. I also love the intuitive interface and the transparency it brings, no more confusion or delays.

Cons: As a new user of Everstage, I’m still exploring the platform and honestly don’t yet know what I like least.
