Advanced Analytics with the YoY analysis and some of the Pre- created reports are very helpful when making any compensation analysis. Adhoc pricing is very handy to use to run a quick pricing check and look at the benchmarks from a specific survey or combination of surveys. The ease of managing all of our salary surveys in a single location, and efficiency in survey participation. On-demand training webinars and customized training are very helpful for our users to understand the MarketPay system and use it effectively on compensation management. **What do you dislike about Payscale Ascent (formerly Marketpay)?** There is no downside in my opinion that I could reflect here. MarketPay constantly making the tool better and anticipate the needs of the customers. My client success manager has been very helpful in helping and addressing the need of my organization using MarketPay and helping us with resolution. Fewer customization options are available. Some of them aren’t possible as it needs to be at a product level. Such as like the rounding of aged market data cannot be specific to a rule I follow which is table-based. Changing the graphs and view in the pricing window visualizer clicks. **Recommendations to others considering Payscale Ascent (formerly Marketpay):** Recommend getting a demo of the system and understand the features and capabilities the MarketPay system has to offer.

Given the size of our organization, we have 100 + surveys in about 40+ countries. It also helps to have the historical pay trends and ensures to understand the movement of the benchmark from a specific year to a year. These are very useful to be more market-oriented from a Pay standpoint. **Official Response from Zach Torrey:** > Hi Jagadeeshwaran, thank you for taking the time to review us!

I was originally given the log-in information when a colleague left and I took over the review/upload of data. Not having the complete time to train me, she showed me the basics and I carried on. After the Compference20 and listening to the sessions I was able to see there was so much more to the tool which I could have been learning and using besides just uploading our survey results. **What do you dislike about Payscale Ascent (formerly Marketpay)?** I wish an email would come out once a month with pointers, common questions, tip/tricks, or classes to improve upon their experience. With merit session quickly upon us there are so many tools which would have saved me time, effort, and a little bit of tears. **What problems is Payscale Ascent (formerly Marketpay) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Currently looking to see how many people are trending significantly behind market due to the 3% merit increases year of year compared to new hires we bring in slightly under market to maintain internal equity. **Official Response from Zach Torrey:** > Thank you for taking the time to give us a review!
