Compose offers a tremendous amount of flexibility and configurability to support even the most complex comp plans, calculations, and processes. The implementation was seamless and our first year on the platform went smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Compose by Decusoft? Calculation processing can be a bit slow at times. Additionally, when a calculation kicks off, it recalculates all formula driven fields which impacts system performance and may recalculate fields that have previously been overrided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Compose by Decusoft solving and how is that benefiting you? Compose has helped us automate our compensation process which was previously being executed via spreadsheets. It has allowed us to streamline the data and process and eliminate risk by controlling access to the data with secure user roles. We estimate that Compose will save us 500 hours annually from building and maintaining various spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Current UserValidated ReviewerSource: Organic JF Judy F. Recently retired Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/1/2022 "Customizable compensation planner plus outstanding customer service" 5/5 What do you like best about Compose by Decusoft? COMPOSE is not a one-size-fits-all solution. In large organizations, there are often unique needs that SaaS products are unable to meet. That can often mean manual workarounds. The ability to configure a system to do exactly what is needed is a huge advantage for the compensation team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Compose by Decusoft? Nothing. In fact, there was nothing that we asked the COMPOSE team to build into the system that they were unable to do. Further, they were able to accommodate last minute changes and some on-the-fly changes while planning was live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Compose by Decusoft solving and how is that benefiting you? We implemented COMPOSE when we implemented Workday. Workday's compensation planner is configurable to an extent, but it just couldn't accommodate the complexity of our bonus plan. The COMPOSE team came to our rescue two months before compensation planning was due to launch. We were able to have an entirely automated process rather than cope with time-intensive, manual workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Compose by Decusoft? We have issues with our data and how we need to use it in Compose. The support team worked with us and gave us tools to be able to clean our data up before importing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Compose by Decusoft: If you have incentive payouts with complex calculations Compose by Decusoft is a great application. Compose has given us the ability to run monthly commission cycles, quarterly and semi-annual incentive cycles and multiple annual cycles at the same time. The system is very configurable to meet all of the changing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Compose by Decusoft solving and how is that benefiting you? We run multiple cycles (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annually) with complex plans. Compose has allowed us to eliminate the excel spreadsheets. Our audit department is very happy with the approval process all in one system along with the audit reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compose can handle some of the most complex incentive plans that were critical to the company. Along with a merit and LTI platform, we were able to combine our processes for one efficient year-end process. I have used many other platforms in my career, and Compose allowed for deviation within the system without jeopardizing the performance standards. From business requirements to implementation to support during the process, the team was always available to handle any questions or issues if problems existed. The customer service was beyond what other platforms have provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Compose by Decusoft?
