SS Sarah S. Sr. Compensation Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/29/2025 "Helpful tool for planning" 4/5 What do you like best about Salary.com? Our market pricing process is so much easier with CompAnalyst and we have starting to use it for modeling out our salary structures. They continue to come out with new features, even if it's just a new widget for the home screen. The JobArchitect module makes it very easy to view and compare job descriptions as well as set up workflows for the approval. The client support is always great too. Whether it's on the business side or the technical side, our support team is always there to answer questions and support where needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Salary.com? It would be nice to have a little bit more customization such as the ability to rename standard fields to align with what those fields are referred to as internally. I would also like the structure modeling feature to be a little more robust for when you are looking to make changes to the entire structure. However, it is extremely easy to use when just doing the annual review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Salary.com solving and how is that benefiting you? The tool is currently helping us review differences in jobs across different countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Salary.com for finding comparable salaries for roles similar to mine, which helps me check for competitive benchmarks and understand my value. I like the ability to upload a list of jobs and have it use AI to match those jobs, along with the flexibility to use some human involvement to get the right matches. The search function and the large database of roles are great, as are the export and import functions with easily followable directions. The customer success rep was very helpful, and his live demo allowed us to get so much more value out of the product. It makes the whole process faster and more efficient, saving me time compared to doing these things manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Salary.com? I would like there to be an easier way to refresh data and alerts that could let me know when our company may be falling behind market salaries in our industry. If it could use some prediction and analytics to show us which roles are at risk or give us salary recommendations for low, medium, and high performers that would be awesome.
