Would like to have access to more positions, it's hard sometimes to find the exact position that I would need based on industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A single place for analysis insights, document collection, and quick paymarket comp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little bit of a learning curve. Data uploads are not the most user friendly. Mostly integrated- but some disjointment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support and onboarding has been very strong. I also think that the platform's ability to take a role that combines multiple positions to build a "hybrid" role is helpful when you are trying to figure out how to price such a role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit complicated and takes a while to get comfortable with to know where and how to navigate. If you set the system up wrong initially, all of the information you get out of it is inaccurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Payscale Ascent is its ability to centralize compensation data and streamline compensation management. The platform makes it easy to benchmark positions against market data, manage salary structures, and support informed pay decisions with reliable analytics. I also appreciate the user-friendly interface and reporting capabilities, which make it easier to communicate compensation recommendations and maintain consistency across the organization. Overall, it helps improve efficiency, supports pay equity, and provides the data needed to make competitive compensation decisions. Yes Yes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area for improvement is the overall user experience. Some features require navigating through multiple screens, making common tasks less intuitive than they could be. Report customization can also be somewhat limited, and certain workflows take more clicks than expected. Additionally, there is a learning curve for new users, and some system updates can make it difficult to quickly locate features that were previously familiar. Improving navigation, reporting flexibility, and consistency across the platform would make the overall experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Marketpay helps with market pricing analyses during annual reviews and makes it easier to spot disparities across roles or demographics with its reporting tools. The easy setup and report generation makes my work easier and faster, and pulling ad-hoc pricing for new roles is quick and straightforward. Marketpay connected smoothly to ADP for payroll syncing, which ensured that company adjustments flowed right into pay runs. Coming from Radford, I found Marketpay handles our broader needs with less manual data wrangling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a learning curve if you're not deep into company analysis. Explaining it to others or pulling quick insights takes time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The “Explore” tab is amazing. It’s a quick, efficient way to access all the data in an easy-to-consume format. I use the “Explore” tab every day, and it’s become my go-to section of the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of the paywalls. My organization pays for the service but still doesn't have access to several important things. New additions like Korn Ferry and others are thrown behind a paywall. It would be nice if the amount we are paying unlocked everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Marketpay for integrating with our HR system to update job codes and salary bands automatically. I find justifying offers and internal adjustments easier with Marketpay because it provides solid, objective data to back them up. I migrated from the older Payfactors to Marketpay and appreciated the smoother UI and better global adjustments. The initial setup of Marketpay was very easy.

I find the reporting good, but customizing or exporting sometimes feels clunky compared to more modern platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use. I access the system to benchmark salaries at our organization to the national and local average. I use the rates to compare what we are paying against data from our National non-profit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say that it has been least helpful. The system is very easy to use. The customer support has been outstanding and I use the system almost daily. During a 5 day workweek, I log on multiple times, at least 4 days/week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with AI tools helps us handle our compensation planning efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The different data sources can be confusing for me, and I sometimes struggle to keep track of where each piece of information is coming from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having our compensation structure and market data in one place. It provides a much clearer way to evaluate roles, understand market positioning, and make more consistent compensation decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at this time. We are still early in our implementation, so I don’t have any significant concerns to share yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
