# What salary benchmarking software is easiest to set up for an HR team that wants clean dashboards without a lengthy onboarding process?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I have been researching a focused question for a roundup: what salary benchmarking software is easiest to set up for an HR team that wants clean dashboards without a lengthy onboarding process? Smaller HR teams, in particular, cannot commit to a multi-month implementation, so speed to a usable dashboard becomes the deciding factor. Here is what reviewers say about the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/salary-benchmarking">salary benchmarking</a> options.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/salary-com-salary-com/reviews"><strong>Salary.com</strong></a>: Reviewers describe a quick, simple initial setup, often with support from the implementation team, and single out the mass upload of job descriptions as a fast way to get matched to the market. A few note that the breadth of features can feel overwhelming at first.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/pave/reviews"><strong>Pave</strong></a>: Reviewers call the interface modern and intuitive enough to use without formal training, which shortens ramp time for a small team reviewing compensation and equity data day to day.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/opencomp/reviews"><strong>OpenComp</strong></a>: Reviewers repeatedly report getting up and running within weeks, some in under a month, and appreciate the executive-summary reporting and an interface that suits people newer to compensation work.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For the smaller HR teams here, which tool reached a usable dashboard the fastest, and how long did it take from signing to your first confident pay decision?</p>

&lt;p&gt;OpenComp was signing-to-dashboard in about three weeks for us, and the first pay decision we defended off it came inside week four. The mass-upload trick reviewers mention for Salary.com is real, but the feature breadth was more than our two-person HR team wanted to learn under time pressure. One piece of advice whichever way you go: load your real job list during the trial, not the vendor&#39;s sample data. That&#39;s where the setup time actually hides.&lt;/p&gt;
