"7 Years and still going strong"
5/5
What do you like best about Empower Stock Plan Services?

We have been using OptionTrax and InvestmenTrax for over 7 years now. The rollout went smoothly and effortlessly on our part. My company has done its best to find creative ways to stump the software but has yet to do it. As a pre-public company, we have standard and non-standard option grants, ISOs & NQSOs, RSU's and RSUs + Options with double triggers. The support level from the beginning of the relationship to this very day has never faltered, changed or wavered. if I ask for help - it is quickly received, including a person-to-person phone call and screen share if needed. The team at Plan Management are professional and dedicated but also warm and welcoming. The system automatically calculates the 100K rule split between ISO/NQSO; handles termination calculations, including acceleration perfectly. Exercising options is a piece of cake. The participant portal has improved in appearance and functionality over the years and our employees love it. The added feature of uploading your own grant notice templates was a dream come true -- we have 20+ different templates! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Empower Stock Plan Services?

Honestly, there are no aspects of the software that I dislike. There is one minor "statement" reporting thing with share totals that I don't think is as intuitive as everything else, having to do with performance grant shares returning to the pool, but other than that - I have nothing. Any upgrades, changes, or modifications have been dealt with, usually before I could think to ask. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Top Shelf Customer Service at OptionTrax"
5/5
What do you like best about Empower Stock Plan Services?

I had direct & very timely access to a seasoned CEP / MBA (Elena Thomas) via a call and e-mails to assist with very detailed equity nuances that set the stage for related technical accounting. That was invaluable and greatly appreciated. The competitor's approach was to provide an article that did not even address the main issue, much less provide a mechanism for nuanced follow-up questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Empower Stock Plan Services?

I have not used the OptionTrax platform myself, so I am not in a position to add meaningful feedback. Our legal department manages the activity on OptionTrax. My feedback is based on the customer service support that pertained to equity comp nuances as they relate to technical accounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Empower Stock Plan Services?

What I really best about Option Trax is the immediate response from customer service. I found myself in a place where I had not used the tool in a while, and needed a refresher - I emailed the help desk and within 5 minutes I received a call back! We are a small company, but I can tell that this is simply how Option Trax operates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Empower Stock Plan Services?

Honestly, I cannot come up with anything specific that I dislike...I find the tool pretty user friendly and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
