OUtstanding

Great overall experience. Prior to CompXL we had a very labor intensive process using excel files that would be altered by users causing significant administration issues. CompXL provided a framework and functionality to control the data and user interface eliminating the ability for users to to alter sheets.

Pros:

It is very transparent on what qualifications fall under which job titles and salaries. I like all the probing questions it asks to get you the most accurate data such as industry, job title, and location. It is very easy to use!

Cons:

The sales team is very pushy and misleading when trying to get you to set up a demo of their paid HR software for salary benchmarking. Their original call in which they cold called me, they made it sound like they wanted to set up a 15 minute call to ask me questions/ take a survey about compensation for my employees to better build their listed salaries on their website. Then, once I agreed to the call, I was emailed a link to a zoom meeting for a product demo. I asked if I was mistaken what it was about and they said oh no we do need your input but also want to show you the paid version of our site. During the meeting they asked me no questions and just tried to sell me a software/show me how to use their paid software.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your detailed review! It’s great to hear that you find our platform easy to use and our data accurate. Thank you for also sharing your feedback.
