What do you like best about Salary.com?

The compensation management tools offered by Salary.com provide our company with excellent market data. This allows us to benchmark current employee salaries with industry data and research salaries for new positions. The database is easy to use and was easy to implement. Customer service is very good and the help we receive is customized to our specific tools. We use it every day and it makes our jobs so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

Importing your own company data for benchmarking to market data is a bit cumbersome but worth all the additional effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We get real time salary information that allows us to benchmark new and existing roles. We are able to plan our comp for year end increase and make sure that our pay is fair and equitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ashley Iannuzzi of Salary.com

Janna, thank you for the 5-star review! It is great to hear CompAnalyst Plus allows your organization to benchmark new and existing rolls as well as plan compensation for your year end increase to ensure your pay is fair and equitable. We can appreciate the implementation process was more involved than you anticipated but leveraging your employee and job data to create accurate pay programs should make it all worthwhile! Don’t hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success Team with any future question.

What do you like best about Salary.com?

The comp analyst feature is easy to connect to our HRIS system (UKG). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

While easy to connect, the integration is limited in terms of which business processes port over. For us, this means that we have to create jobs in comp analyst in addition to in UKG in order for things to sync properly. The dual maintenance could be a lot of work with companies that are rapidly changing/creating many new roles. For companies where most jobs don't chance too much, this might not have a huge impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Pay equity in a distributed market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alexander Bishop of Salary.com

Jenn, thank you for your 5-star review. We are happy to hear that integrating your HRIS system with CompAnalyst has been a seamless process. This is our lightest weight integration solution (the others being scheduled flat files or fully custom API integrations). For the native integration we prioritized speed to integrate and a simple setup workflow over full configurability. This being said, we've been gathering feedback for enhancements to make.

What do you like best about Salary.com?

I like that we have access to a large database of quality salary information and that the data is not limited solely to customers on the platform. Salary.com does a good job trying to reflect the market at large. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

The reporting functionality could be better. We like to pull large company-wide datasets with multiple scopes, and the way in which you generate reports on the platform is not straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a fairly transparent process when it comes to compensation reviews, and we like to show our employees that we understand the market. This cannot be done without a quality, unbiased set of data where we can say "here is our source" as a solid starting point for our conversations. Without good data, we simply can't have good compensation conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alexander Bishop of Salary.com

Thank you for your review. We are glad that you have enjoyed having access to CompAnalyst’s large database of high-quality salary information that reflects the market at large. Please feel free to submit your suggestions and vote on other ideas in the Product Ideas tab in Community, which is accessible when you’re logged into the product.

What do you like best about Salary.com?

The ability to tailor our compensation search to very specific metrics. The portal allows several searching methods and the ability to create your own specs. Implementation and integration was extremely easy. Customer support has been very helpful when I needed a refresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

For the amount of searches I have performed, the cost is expensive. It would be nice to have a tiered pricing system based on the amount of searches done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to search for comp within industries similar to ours, including employee size and location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salary.com?

The amount of data available and ability to specify sets of criteria, like location, company size, revenues, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

Starting a search and then navigating back to your jobs is difficult. It's natural to want to use the back button. Instead, you have to find a small bit of text and remember to click on it every time. You also usually have to renavigate/enter specifications on multiple screens before getting to results rather than just having your current session inputs stick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Simply salary benchmarking on various job categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alexander Bishop of Salary.com

Thank you for the review! We’re happy that you’re using CompAnalyst to conduct salary benchmarking on various job categories. We can appreciate your navigation comment. We pride ourselves on having the most secure compensation management and data solutions in the industry. This feature of not leveraging the back button in the browser was something purposely implemented to improve data security by avoiding data caching in the browser.

What do you like best about Salary.com?

The paid version provides access to comprehensive, up-to-date salary and compensation data across various industries. For a non-profit media station, this is important to remain competitive while maintaining fairness and equity in employee compensation, especially when attracting and retaining talent in the media industry. We have access to similar data points as used with a third-party vendor who did the same work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

It took a little bit of time to get familiar with the number of ways that data could/should be parsed out. For example, by geographic location and by region, and then by industry. Uploading the job descriptions was a little tedious, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Non-profits often have unique organizational structures and roles. The paid version allows the station to benchmark salaries specific to its sector and regional markets, ensuring pay is aligned with industry standards for similar organizations. Because public media stations must be transparent, Salary.com helps ensure the station complies with federal, state, and local regulations regarding pay equity and fair labor practices, reducing the risk of legal challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ashley Iannuzzi of Salary.com

Thank you for the 5-star review, Sonja. I’m glad to hear you enjoy the comprehensive, up-to-date compensation data for your specific industry in non-profit with the help of CompAnalyst. We can appreciate that the implementation was more involved than you anticipated, but leveraging your employee and job data to create accurate pay programs should make it all worthwhile!
