What do you like best about Salary.com?

Tool is very intuitive and their team is always there to help support you when you experience challenges. I was very impresssed by the product support team who worked with me to get the most value out of my purchase of Salary.com Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

It wasn't always easy to save information from previous working sessions. I also didn't know how to do mass comparisons, but this was something that I was shown how to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salary.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was able to do some compensation planning for a growing company in the Bay Area. The data to use in that comparison was excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salary.com?

The best thing about Salary.com is that it is super user-friendly. Finding what I was looking for was easy and quick, and the site provided a bunch of details. I frequently use the site for work purposes to house all our job descriptions. I utilized Salary.com's customer support once because I had difficulty getting my account initially set up, but they were quick to help and resolve the issue (I already had an account under a different email address). There are also a lot of features that I didn't know I knew and now can't live without personally and professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

Honestly, I don't find anything I do not like about Salary.com. This is probably the best site for a one-stop-shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salary.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Salary.com is solving our company's issue by housing all our job descriptions in one place. Currently, we upload job description to a shared drive but, that doesn't always happen. When it doesn't, then other people can't find what they are looking for. Also, this allows us to have less paperwork and emails by being able to create job descriptions within Salary.com, route them for approvals and have a trail of any changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ashley Iannuzzi of Salary.com

Wendy, thank you for the review! Glad to hear you find CompAnalyst to be the best solution for a one-stop-shop when it comes to your compensation needs. Many of our customers would agree that a major benefit to the tool is just how easy it is to use. I recommend taking a look at our Product Resource Center in the Community, which is home to how-to documents, videos, and other training materials! Please don't hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success Team with any questions you may have.

What do you like best about Salary.com?

I've been using Salary.com to support compensation strategy, and it's been a solid resource. The market data is reliable and helps make sure we're staying competitive with pay across different roles and industries. The dashboards are clear and easy to use, which makes analyzing comp data less of a headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

One thing that could improve is how some of the tools connect with each other -there’s a bit of jumping between modules at times. But overall, it's been a helpful platform for managing pay structures and staying compliant with pay transparency requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salary.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Staying competitive with compensation, ensuring internal equity, and navigating pay transparency laws. Before using it, we were piecing together data from multiple sources, which was time-consuming and not always reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alexander Bishop of Salary.com

Thank you for the review! We are glad that you’re leveraging CompAnalyst to stay competitive with compensation, ensure internal equity, and navigate pay transparency laws.

What do you like best about Salary.com?

The amount of data and filters available are incredible. Graphs, charts, you name it and this site probably has it. I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen this much information accessible for even remote and rural areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

Sometimes the UI can be overwhelming or unhelpful. For example, I've been struggling to figure out how to edit an existing scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salary.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's allowing me to know the pay averages and trends for areas that my company is trying to expand into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alexander Bishop of Salary.com

Thank you for the five-star review! We’re glad that you are leveraging the vast amount of information in CompAnalyst to know the pay averages and trends for areas that your company is trying to expand into. Regarding your comment on editing an existing scope, to edit an existing scope, click on the Market Data tab in the top navigation bar, and select ‘My Scopes.’ This area will show all of your existing scopes. Choose the scope that you would like to edit, select the ellipsis on the right side of the page for that row, and select the Edit option. I recommend checking out the Product Resource Center in the Community. There, you will find helpful training videos and how-to documents under “CompAnalyst Market Data” to assist in scoping!

I really like that you can choose your region and you can save your job titles so next year you have to do way less digging! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

There are a few jobs that we have that could not be found. We could use 2 different jobs and blend them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salary.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are in a small rural town with not a lot to compare to so it is nice that we can select our region to get comps rather than use the Twin Cities area for comps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alexander Bishop of Salary.com

Thank you for the review, Amy! We are happy that you’re leveraging CompAnalyst to select specific regions to compare compensation and conveniently save job titles. Creating a hybrid job by blending two or more jobs is a great idea if you’re having trouble matching to the most appropriate job! Please feel free to reach out to your Customer Success Specialist for assistance with this.
