Built to match any level of compensation complexity, no system expert needed. Most compensation planning platforms make a tradeoff: power or ease. The more capable they become, the more rigid they get, and the more your team depends on specialists, consultants, or support tickets to get anything done. Teams end up back in spreadsheets to fill the gaps. Aeqium is built on a different belief. Powerful software should not become its own burden. Aeqium's AI execution agent handles the complexity natively, so the platform bends to how your organization works, not the other way around. Custom workflows, configurable logic, and full comp cycle execution in plain language, without calling support every time something needs to change. With Aeqium, HR and Finance teams can run merit cycles, bonuses, promotions, and equity in one place. Managers get a clear, guided experience. Leaders get the budget visibility and audit trail they need. And the people running the process get a platform that matches how they work, at any scale. * * * Product Website Aeqium Seller [Aeqium](https://www.g2.com/sellers/aeqium) Discussions [Aeqium Community](https://www.g2.com/products/aeqium/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Andrew Hanno Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 2 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/aeqium/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Lattice](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Lattice") Lattice 4.6/5(4,117) ](https://www.g2.com/products/lattice-lattice/reviews) [ ![Payscale Ascent (formerly Payfactors)](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Payscale Ascent (formerly Payfactors)") Payscale Ascent (formerly Payfactors) 4.3/5(723) ](https://www.g2.com/products/payscale-ascent-formerly-payfactors/reviews) [ ![CaptivateIQ](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "CaptivateIQ") CaptivateIQ 4.7/5(3,488) ](https://www.g2.com/products/captivateiq/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/aeqium/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 29 real user reviews.

BW Brian W. Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/20/2023 "Aeqium is a game changer" 5/5 What do you like best about Aeqium? Aeqium is a great, modern tool for managing compensation. It provides flexibility, insights, and mechanics for both managing compensation rounds as well as exploring and analyzing compensation. This combination of insights and execution has surpassed any expectation I had of people management software. Also, I love that the software is fast! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aeqium? I wish there was a bit more ability to contextualize nuanced comp history in that particular view. This is a hard problem though in that every company is different. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/2/2023 "Comp Made Easy" 5/5 What do you like best about Aeqium? No more spreadsheets. Aeqium has empowered us to conduct our comp reviews quickly, while increasing the ease of including more perspectives from different managers all while keeping an easy approval process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aeqium? There were times when we had to tweak some formulas to make it work for our comp model but the team was incredibly responsive in helping us make those adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you? Aeqium helps us run our compensation and promotion cycles like clockwork. Additionally it gives our employees a much better picture of their total rewards including equity than we had before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The employees at Aeqium are very helpful and provide great customer support. They actively listen to product requests, and will roll out features within reasonable time if it's something that is beneficial to multiple companies. They are very responsive during implementation, or throughout the year when a request is needed. They also are very open to feedback from their customers. The tool itself is easy to use, has a good UI, easy to set up to start using. I would say the learning curve to use the tool is fairly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aeqium? The way Aeqium thinks about compensation is more geared/tailored to smaller start up type of technology companies. To build out some of the job architecture in their system, it requires some manual mapping of job codes to what they call "Job Ladder" and "Job Level". It also doesn't seem to support a grading structure which makes sense because most start-up type of organizations does not use a formal grade structure. Things are frequently changing without communication to customers. This can be frustrating because the product feature updates may impact other areas of the tool. Unlike other systems, that roll out things over the weekend and give an update, we will randomly log in on the week day and notice a functionality/feature change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you? Compensation cycles, pay transparency, and total rewards statements. This is helping us be more transparent with employees about their compensation package, and provide a holistic view of their Total Rewards package. We also are able to record compensation cycles in an area and not worry about extra security and use spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that that free version of the software allows companies to start managing their salary bands and get away from the spreadsheet madness. Companies can upload the salary structure they have already built and with very little effort start managing access to salary bands accross the organization. From there they can sign up for other modules to run their annual salary/merit review cycles, conduct a pay equity analysis and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aeqium? As much as I like that there are a lot of modules, it can also be overwhelming. Some of the tools e.g. offer letters may already be covered in other systems e.g. ATS and not get as much use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you? As a consultant I design salary structures for companies. These generally are developed in spreadsheets. After the design things start getting complicated e.g. spreadsheets need to be shared with executives, then only certain managers should have access, spreadsheets get copied and mistakes are made etc. Aeqium allows companies to upload their already designed structure and then manage it and everything that goes along with it in one tool.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/19/2023 "Nothing but good things to say" 5/5 What do you like best about Aeqium? Overall, an amazing experience working with Peter and the team. We moved from a Gsheet-based review to Aeqium in only a few months. Aeqium took the time to understand our business needs and it showed. Some highlights to note: - The experience of getting managers logged in and using the tool was extremely smooth (intuative UI) - Any customization was very smooth and it was easy to make the tool match our unique processes - Amazing support, Aeqium “understood the complexities of our process” and helped the team through any troubles/issues - Unparalled customer support. Any questions we had were answered the same day One leader messaged us saying "[Aeqium is] so efficient. [It] does exactly what we need!" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aeqium? We have been very proactive about feedback and are very happy with how quickly features and improvements are shipped. Anything we have disliked about Aeqium has already been addressed or is on the roadmap to be addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you? Our comp cycle used to take ages to prep, downloading information from our HRIS and inputting it into custom spreadsheets, sending and compiling. There were always manual errors or things that changed mid-cycle we werent able to catch. Now that we've configured our review, all we have to do is copy over the cycle and make a few changes. I dont doubt the data and its a much simpler process overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aeqium is an extremely clean and easy-to-use product that makes Comp Cycles smooth and efficient. The system is a quick learn and very customizable for companies to use and integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aeqium? Budget funtionality is still in the process of finalizing. Sometimes the exports do not export in the same format as the numbers you put in which makes auditing a little cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Aeqium solving and how is that benefiting you? Aeqium is helping us keep each FTE's compensation total rewards statements clean and presentable. The system does a great job implementing with Worday to keep these statements up-to-date adn accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great experience overall! The ability to customize a compensation review cycle is a major benefit of using Aeqium. We were able to import/add fields that our leaders desired. The easy access for managers/reviewers made the process smooth and enjoyable for all involved. The biggest benefit to me personally as an admin was the support. Any question or issue I had was answered within 24 hours and their support was five stars every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aeqium?

The tool is straightforward to use; it equally supports managers, admin, and employees with the simplicity and information available. Our managers can find what they need, and it's reduced the amount of time our HR team spends on compensation questions. I also appreciate how responsive the Aeqium team is to my many questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Aeqium?

Aeqium got us away from spreadsheets and complicated merit planners and into a tool that was simple and did it all.
