"Incredibly easy to set up and highly knowledgeable support staff."
What do you like best about OptionTrax By Empower?

Incredibly easy to set up and highly knowledgeable staff providing support throughout the implementation process. We had a relatively simple plan and the OT team made the process easy enough for me to set up on my own, without the help of external consultants or other costly implementation resources.

Would highly recommend this to any company looking to migrate into a cost-effective, robust platform, that still provides great customer support and ease of implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptionTrax By Empower?

Like any new platform being implemented, it takes some time to get used to the functionality. With that said, the implementation and support teams were incredibly helpful in patiently walking me through new tools and reports as I was using them for the first time.

"Good customer service, special handling and outside the box thinking makes OT team shine."
What do you like best about OptionTrax By Empower?

Good customer service, special handling of some unique equity processing and the teams outside the box thinking on how to make our requests a possibility, makes OT team shine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptionTrax By Empower?

There is occassional cumbersome system functionality that I wasn't used to, but just need to gain a better understanding of the software, where to find certain data and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless transition and excellent support"
What do you like best about OptionTrax By Empower?

The simple user interface that can be easily customized and can accomodate a variety of LTI programs. We have a very complex long term incentive landscape and OT was able to accomodate all our requirements and simplify the display for our employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptionTrax By Empower?

Nothing at this time but we keep learning about the features and will gladly provide our feedback to the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OptionTrax for Stock Plan Administration"
What do you like best about OptionTrax By Empower?

The interface for OptionTrax is far more streamlined and easy to use than the previous vendor, Computershare, and their customer support has been a huge improvement. The issues we have encountered were handled quickly and professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptionTrax By Empower?

The reporting is less robust and documentation is not as robust as we might hope, but their customer support does offset some of that frustration. Overall, I am happy we made the switch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Customer Service"
What do you like best about OptionTrax By Empower?

The customer service is great. They are quick to respond and can resolve any issues that occur. They took a suggestion I had and incorporated it into an update. The platform is easy to use and navigate. The reporting functions are exactly what I need for various tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptionTrax By Empower?

I have not had any dislikes. As I mentioned, they incorporated a suggestion I had into an update. Seems to have everything from an accounting or finance role or function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New User"
What do you like best about OptionTrax By Empower?

I have only been using the software for a few months, so I am still relatively new and learning its capabilities. That being said, so far I have found that the user interface is very simple (in a good way) and clear. In comparison to other systems I have used for equity management, all of the site areas are easy to navigate and seem to end up being what I expected them to look like / be able to do. I was actually able to find many of the things I was looking for as a new user, without any formal training, which was a big plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptionTrax By Empower?

The only thing so far I would like to see is the ability to have a dedicated support rep for more involved issues (other than routine items that pop up day to day). It would be helpful to ensure we have periodic check ins to make sure we are using the software correctly and to its best capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ken Lockett of OptionTrax By Empower

We're happy to hear that OptionTrax is helping you manage your equity awards and track tax implications. Our goal is to provide a valuable solution for equity management, and we appreciate your input on how we can further benefit our users. Please feel free to email the team at support@optiontrax.com and tag myself at klockett@optiontrax.com, as we would love to discuss your thoughts on a periodic check cadence that fits your schedule.

"Brings Sanity to our Equity Management"
What do you like best about OptionTrax By Empower?

OptionTrax has provided discipline in our equity management processes, and comprehensive insight into our grants and related finances. Implementation required a good deal of work, but all of it was something we needed to do - and was beneficial to our practices in the long run, so well worth the time spent. Now our processes are better defined and integrated into our daily routines.

OptionTrax includes reporting designed to calculate finance and equity disclosures for our SEC filings, so it has also simplified our compliance practices. That also gives us increased confidence in the accuracy of our disclosures.

Customer support is responsive and catches items that we may have otherwise missed. I use OptionTrax almost daily.

The participant portal functions are a great benefit to our employees too, provide transparency to them and allows us to manage compliance (such as blackout windows). We have received good feedback from the participants using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptionTrax By Empower?

Some complicated and unorthodox grants have been difficult to fit into the system, but that is to be expected.

OptionTrax worked with us to make them work. In some cases that may have involved new processes on our side, but still well worth it and less than what it would take to manage the grants without. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OptionTrax - Equity Compensation Platform Solution"
What do you like best about OptionTrax By Empower?

OptionTrax offers an incredible support team with quick response time. I have counted on them countless times to assist on projects or updates, all which have been resolved in a timely fashion. Very knowledgeable and helpful team. Also the platform is easy to navigate and provides you with all your data in the click of a button. The software has been a time saver as previously we computed all SBC and equity items manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OptionTrax By Empower?

We've been very happy with our integration to OptionTrax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
