What I like best about Comprehensive is how it brings compensation planning, benchmarking, and administration into a single platform. The system provides a clear and intuitive user experience for both HR administrators and managers, making compensation reviews more efficient and transparent. The market pricing and benchmarking capabilities help us make data-driven compensation decisions, while the planning tools streamline merit, promotion, and equity review processes. I also appreciate the flexibility of the platform and the responsiveness of the Comprehensive team, who are receptive to feedback and continuously improving the product based on customer needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Comprehensive? The main area I’d like to see improve is reporting and analytics flexibility. While the platform provides useful core compensation planning functionality, some reporting needs can still require extra configuration, exports, or manual manipulation to get the exact views needed for leadership, finance, or audit purposes. I’d also like to see continued enhancements around workflow customization and broader HRIS integration options so the tool can better adapt to complex global compensation processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Comprehensive solving and how is that benefiting you? Comprehensive helps us solve several challenges associated with compensation management, including market benchmarking, compensation planning, budget control, and compensation transparency. Prior to using the platform, many of these processes required significant manual effort across spreadsheets and multiple data sources. By centralizing compensation data and workflows, Comprehensive has improved the efficiency and accuracy of our compensation review cycles, given leaders better visibility into compensation decisions, and helped ensure our pay practices are more consistent and data-driven. The platform has also made it easier to model compensation changes, manage budgets, and support informed conversations with managers and executives during the planning process.

The Comprehensive Compensation Platform has significantly streamlined our compensation process by mirroring the flexibility of our previous spreadsheet-based approach while providing a centralized, easy-to-use platform for leaders to submit increase requests and track approvals. It has reduced the time needed to manage compensation cycles, simplified budget tracking across 20+ leaders, and eliminated the manual work of creating award letters through automated generation. The intuitive platform also provides a clear visual of compensation-related information, including cycles, total rewards statements, and pay bands, making the overall process more efficient and transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Comprehensive? The tool has been working well for us so far; we have not encountered any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Comprehensive solving and how is that benefiting you? It provides transparency for managers and leaders throughout the overall compensation cycle. It helps them understand how each team member’s base salary compares to the market, and it supports planning and budgeting for merit increases and promotions.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/25/2026 "Great Service - Highly recommend!" 5/5 What do you like best about Comprehensive? I appreciate that Comprehensive provides a single source of truth for compensation changes and maintains control of updates within a defined process. I can share finalized information in a controlled, view-only way and ensure that any requested adjustments go through the appropriate owners, which eliminates the confusion and misalignment resulting from scattered, unmanaged spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Comprehensive? Our only real pain point was on the integration side, which made some parts of the process feel clunky. That said, we worked around it, and our partner at Comprehensive did a great job teaching us how to navigate those challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Comprehensive solving and how is that benefiting you? Comprehensive addresses the lack of governance and visibility that occurs when compensation data resides in multiple files and is edited by many people without clear ownership. Now, updates are centralized and auditable. Version control issues are greatly reduced, and it’s much easier to track changes, respond to questions, and ensure everyone is working from accurate, up-to-date information.

MS Molly S. SVP, People Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/24/2026 "Centralized, Reliable Compensation Workflows—No More Spreadsheet Chaos" 5/5 What do you like best about Comprehensive? What I like best about Comprehensive is that it centralizes the entire compensation cycle into a single, structured workflow instead of relying on multiple spreadsheets and ad hoc documents. Having one system perform and validate all of the calculations significantly reduces the risk of human error and gives me confidence when I’m reviewing or defending outcomes, because I know the underlying math is consistent and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Comprehensive? One area for improvement is how budget overages are visually communicated to managers. When a specific action causes a line item to show as “over,” even if the overall budget remains within limits, the red indicators can create unnecessary alarm and confusion. This could result from how we chose to show it, but the product team was very receptive to making adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Comprehensive solving and how is that benefiting you? Comprehensive solves the complexity and risk that arise from managing compensation processes across disparate spreadsheets and manual workflows. By consolidating data, calculations, and approvals into one platform, it reduces manual touchpoints, minimizes errors, and makes it much easier to audit decisions and maintain a clear, defensible record of the entire cycle.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/9/2025 "Centralized Compensation Management Made Simple and Powerful" 5/5 What do you like best about Comprehensive? Comprehensive gives us a central place to store and use our pay ranges and bands, and then map employees to those ranges for analytics and compensation cycles. The ability to control permissions so managers, TA, and leaders each see only the appropriate combination of employees and pay ranges is also a big plus for us. The Total Rewards Dashboard with Carta integration is so simple and it helps show employees the full value of their compensation and equity in a very clear way. The team is also always open to feedback and willing to work with you to find any solution that works best when possible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Comprehensive? Our biggest pain point is the benchmark insights for sales roles, because the benchmark mapping feature currently shows base salary and doesn’t yet incorporate OTE. We also haven’t fully leveraged all the features (like bonus, salary structures, pay ranges) yet, so there’s a sense that the system can do more than we’re practically getting out of it today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Comprehensive solving and how is that benefiting you? Comprehensive is helping us clean up leveling and pay alignment across the company and giving us a structured way to remap people, reuse Comptryx, and re‑examine our data by role and function. It’s also a key part of how we’ll comply with pay transparency laws by storing and sharing pay bands appropriately for both internal moves and external postings. Longer term, it supports our focus on engagement and retention by enabling us to share ranges thoughtfully, bring managers into compensation conversations with real data, and show employees a fuller picture of their total rewards rather than just base pay.

We have been using the platform for our merit process. It is very user friendly and intuitive for leaders to complete their assigned tasks. We are looking forward to leveraging the platform for other functionality including total reward statements in the near future. I appreciate the high level of support from the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Comprehensive? It's a great platform. I need to be more well versed in the back end for setting up new cycles, not a downside of the system, just part of the learning curve. However, the support from the Comprehensive team is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Comprehensive solving and how is that benefiting you? We needed a new platform to replace the system we had been using for our merit process. Comprehensive has been a great option to meet this need. I also appreciate the ability to have award letters for the merit cycle created and shareable with managers and employees within the system, as opposed to our old process which involved mail merges and emailing the letters to leaders.

MH Marwa H. EMEA HR Senior Manager/HRBP Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/17/2025 "Outstanding Compensation Platform" 5/5 What do you like best about Comprehensive? The support from the Comprehensive team was exceptional. The responsiveness and flexibility were outstanding, especially when we had last-minute requests and challenges. The ability to preview and email letters directly, without needing to download batches, was a standout feature for us, and our managers found it incredibly helpful. We also liked the flexibility of the tool overall and the positive feedback it garnered from our managers. They particularly appreciated how straightforward it was to send letters directly to their teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Comprehensive? The initial setup process was challenging. We chose to upload our data versus use an integration and we found it confusing that the upload was flexible with no template provided. We required a bit more guidance than anticipated, but the Comprehensive team was there to help ensure success. The analytics tools are helpful for analyzing data, but there’s room for improvement in usability, such as reordering columns or grouping countries effectively. We’re optimistic about using the system for future cycles, and we hope to see some of these improvements implemented to make the experience even smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Comprehensive solving and how is that benefiting you? Comprehensive has been a game-changer in simplifying processes for managers, particularly those managing large teams. It made communication and approvals more efficient, we were able to carry out a large-scale cycle across 20 currencies, and the analytics tools provided valuable insights for salary and budget decisions.

The ability to customize the layout and formulas was great. Even better was the support from the Comprehensive team - especially with last minute changes that were needed!
