CompAccelerator provides a more expeditions and efficient way to do compensation modeling and planning in an easy to use tool for managers and compensation professionals. It provides a way to "quickly" measure where your organization's spending is at any point in the compensation planning process relative to a defined budget. It provides managers with individual reports immediately after planning...
What I like most about is the easy of use. It was easy to define our company objectives, implement the tool, and monitor the compensation planning process. Planning reports are available immediately. Once planning is approved, additional types of analytical and summary reporting is immediately available within the tool that can continue to be referred for several months after the annual compensation, merit and rewards processes are completed.
Nothing negative to report. Service and support for the product is excellent.

Overall, the value and experience you are getting with Dartican is EXCEPTIONAL. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] are our main contacts, and I couldn't speak more highly about their level of service, responsiveness and truly thinking out of the box to support our programs. From implementation to on-going updates to support our comp plans, our experience with Dartican is what I want for all our vendors (but don't get) - they are truly unique and we're so lucky to have them as on-going partners.
It's extremely customizable - I was blown away by what could be accommodated for some of the unique features of our compensation plans.
There were a few opportunities to how letters generate out of the system (many clicks to get to what you need), and the default naming convention for the letters being generated - but these are areas that I think could be easily updated by Dartican (if not already!).
Wow, we are humbled by your praise that your support experience is what you wish you could get from all vendors. Thank you.

I have had a very positive experience working with [sensitive content hidden] to get set up for our merit cycle this year. [sensitive content hidden] was always available to assist when needed and can explain the features of CompAccelerator very well.
Being able to change to corporate currency made the process for global teams very efficient!
Some of the screens are not intuitive for knowing what step is next (for example, generating letters for employee populations).

I look forward to working with Dartican each year for our annual planning process. They have allowed us to streamline what was once a very manual process giving us more capacity to focus on further strategic planning for compensation. Also, I would be remiss to no mention Dartican's high level of customer service. If I have an issue they work diligently to fix it or provide me a work around as quickly as possible, which is usually within a few hours.
I like that Dartican allowed us to model our previous Excel based process exactly in the software. Being able to do that was a game changer for us as we could not find that level of customization in other products.
It would be nice to have a dashboard feature that shows progress and other helpful compensation planning metrics.
Easy configurations are our signature! Thank you for this feedback! As for a dashboard feature, that is coming in the next release! Happy to know this aligns with your thinking as well.

I've worked in companies where the compensation planning process is entirely through spreadsheets and that is a nightmare I wouldn't want to repeat after using Dartican. I was able to configure and design the tool with relatively no assistance on my first time using it. It's very easy and flexible to configure for how our company needed to use it this cycle. But the best part is the support , not only during implementation, but during the entire process. They are never more than a phone call away, and will roll up their sleeves to help you find a solution FAST.
Customer Service!!
No cons.

CompAccelerator has been nothing but wonderful to work with. They have amazing customer service and work hard to make sure you are set up for success. They taught me how to use the product and are always around to answer the questions that I have. Great tool to use whether you are a small or large company. I would highly recommend to any company!!
CompAccelerator provides hands-on training & walk you through the initial set up of the system. The system is customizable to make it fit your company's compensation planning requirements. The process for compensation planning was easy to manage. Updates made by planners rolled up easily and showed how they impacted the budget. You were also able to leave comments or make any adjustments on the fly. You can also generate compensation statements easily.
The software is constantly improving. Over the past 2 years, I have seen a great deal of improvement to the product and they constantly are listening to customer feedback.

Easy to use and great implementation team that guides and assist you through the go-live process.
We would love for it to be compatible with our HRIS system so that we can feed data amongst the two systems.
Thanks for the great review Jessica. The data feed is compatible with any system, much like major ERP systems that use an EIB or Winshuttle type process. It is not however a direct integration / fully automated feed which I think is your point. Our data process allows clients to control the timing of updates / refreshes of data so that there is no need to put a "freeze" on HR activity in the core HRMS to keep the budgets and populations from constantly moving while managers are planning. Instead, the current load process was designed to be handled by the HR administrator without requiring them to be dependent on anyone in Technology, even if their data needs changed while they were live during the process. (like adding a new data element to load on employees)

I enjoy using CompAccelerator. I appreciate the support that is always provided when needed.
CompAccelerator is easy to configure and to use as an administrator and also as a user. I love having the ability to make custom changes and to upload data myself whenever needed and not have to worry about relaying on others. CompAccelerator replaced many manual processes and created a lot of efficiency, making it faster for us to run our programs
Would like to have more fields available for custom use would like to have more user roles available - Country or region access would like to have a feature where HR can't see other HR data
Thank you for the review Bibi. Good news, the next release coming out soon has everything you are asking for and much more! Looking forward to showing it to you :)

The overall experience with CompAccelerator has been very positive. The customer support is top-notch and there is an immediate response to issues.
Integration was fast and easy. User friendly. The agility of the tool to make immediate changes with little IT support or outside consulting allows company to focus IT resources to other part of the business
There is always room for improvement in any tool. If SSO feature isn't invoked, planners can experience difficulty in logging in. It is an important security feature, but can be frustrating.

We were desirous to get away from using Excel during our annual compensation process as well as Word merges for individual comp sheets. This product served both needs extremely well. lll
The personalized customer service was from the beginning excellent. They hold your hand through implementation and don't let go. The product is able to be customized to our processes and easy to used by our managers. They listen to suggestions for upgrades and voila, you'll find them as part of future versions.
It would be nice to be able to customize our EE comp sheets ourselves, although their turnaround time on changes is certainly quick. (Also, they built our employee comp sheets to mirror what our employees were used to seeing, so that was a positive.)
I'll pass on your praise for the support you receive! Thanks for the feedback.

Overall it was very positive and our company is glad we purchased this product
Sandbox environment is awesome and gives you the ability to customize, test and get everything perfect before putting it in production
As with any new system configuring it takes time and understanding, however the Dartican Team walks you though it and is always available if you need help.

I was very impressed with the adaptability of this product. No matter what special requirement we needed to support our ASR/Bonus Programs, we were able to find a solution within the tool. The customer support that we received consistently over the years was absolutely outstanding.
There really wasn't anything that I can say I didn't like about this software.

The customer service and care show by[SENSITIVE CONTENT] and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was truly exceptional. They were always thorough in their training and answers to questions, timely in their responses, and showed tremendous care for our experience as customers. They are also passionate about the product. I wish every vendor I interact with provided support that was half as strong as Dartican's. They truly blew me away and I will forever sing their praises because of it!
The system was extremely easy for our leadership team to adapt to during annual comp planning. I have never been involved with the roll-out of a brand new system where I didn't receive a single question about system functionality until the roll-out of Dartican Comp Accelerator. The fact that it functions similarly to Excel, but with added security and simplicity is a huge win.
I honestly can't think of anything that sticks out in my mind.
Thank you for the glowing comments. I think Dave & I took all the bows, I will pass this message along to the team supporting us.

Best customer service ever. Extremely flexible and dynamic program that makes compensation planning easier to set up and administer.
The most flexible compensation planning system I have ever worked with. Allows for changes mid-planning and doesn't require months of "pre-work" to get the system ready for the annual cycle.
Only wish it would connect/integrate into an HRIS system for the system set up and final approvals, rather than creating external load files in excel.

Despite some missing capabilities, the customer support was top notch! [SENSITIEV CONTENT] and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] were very responsive and helped us through all of our concerns.
Dartican is easy for users to navigate and use.
There is some limited functionality but it is being improved with each update rollout.

Great product. Any questions that have come up from us has been handled very quickly without delay.
This product has incredible functionality and ease of use.
Not a lot to dislike. Any changes to the product's functionality or layout for our specific use was easily accommodated by CompAccelerator on their end.

I've used a couple of different comp systems, and CompAccelerator is by far the quickest to implement, the most flexible, and has the best customer support throughout the process. We had a system set up within 2 weeks, and a live merit review cycle in 5. We had a lot of unique situations to deal with, and Mike helped us accommodate everything. He thinks outside of the box, and is willing to be creative when it comes to solutions. Ongoing administration is also easy, giving us the power to deal with essentially every issue that could come up (terminations, data fixes, lost passwords, etc). Even our managers found the system easy to use and logical. Fantastic tool.

I was fortunate enough to learn about Mike and his products when I found out my budget for a new system had been cut in half. We signed the contract at the end of November, implemented in 4 weeks (yes, 4 weeks!), and transitioned management from outdated and inflexible spreadsheets to a web-based platform with tremendous ease. CompAccelerator is extremely flexible, and I couldn't have been any happier with the level of support we continued to receive from Mike and his team every year. Mike is inspiring in terms of his ability to develop solutions to the toughest problems. Truly outstanding support, and it is always a pleasure to work with Mike.

Dartican's CompAccelerator has enabled us to offer our business leaders a sophisticated, yet flexible compensation planning process and solution. We've had the privilege of utilizing this tool for three years now and each year has been an improvement over the prior year. Feedback from our business leaders has been very positive and suggestions for improvement have been incorporated into system enhancements, thus offering our end-users an even better experience in the next cycle. Dartican's dedication to excellence in systems offerings and in customer service has been top notch as well!

The tool is very customizable and easy to deploy. Customer support with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is the best and really makes the job easier.
Integrations with other HRIS and Payroll systems weren't present at the time. We had to import/export data out of the tool. Tool might not be too scalable for a bigger company.

I've had very positive experiences with CompAccelerator. Prior to using the software, my company was doing compensation administration (merit & bonus) using spreadsheets. CompAccelerator allows us to plan more efficiently and effectively. For the first time, we were about to easily roll up our planning and produce quality reporting for management. The look and feel of the product is great. Minimal training is needed for the end user. The customer service is outstanding and is literally on call, as needed.

Overall, it is a big improvement from our old way of managing our merit process via spreadsheets. As a user, it's easy to submit/modify data for my employees.
For the most part, as a user, it's easy to navigate.
As an administrator, a lot of the backend set-up can be a bit complicated and doesn't seem very user-friendly.

As a fresh grad I had never had to deal with a compensation planning process, much less a compensation planning tool. CompAccelerator was really easy to pick up and use from day one. Mike was great at assisting us with any problems that we encountered, and was available to us at all times. I look forward to using the tool and working with Mike in the upcoming compensation planning cycles.

CompAccelerator was exactly what we needed, right when we needed it. After years of using a homegrown salary planning tool, that was clunky to use for salary planners and the Comp team alike, we found CompAccelerator. Implementation was as easy as they promised it would be. My salary planning cycle was as easy as they promised it would be. Service after the sale was as great as they promised it would be. Five stars, all the way!
Ease of use. Ease of configuration.
