What do you like best about SimplyMerit?

SimplyMerit allows you to configure the comp cycle truly to your organization's needs, in a short amount of time, and has the nimbleness of mid cycle changes. Such an easy implementation as well, and great support team. It also could account for our different types of changes, bonus, and equity. Very easy for our managers to use, and had great information so they could make informed compensation changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimplyMerit?

SimplyMerit could work on their options for the set up of equity when you have guaranteed ratios between types of stock. But that is a very specific request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Neil Morgan of SimplyMerit

Thank you, Stephanie! We strive for quick set-ups with a good amount of flexibility built right into the application. I'm glad that you found it so beneficial for you managers.

"Solid Compensation Management Program"
4/5
What do you like best about SimplyMerit?

Simply Merit covers the vast majority of scenarios that most organizations utilize. It includes Merit, Promotions, Equity and lump sum payments. This system was able to handle 99% of our requirements and our managers found it very easy to use. The support team including Neil and Stacy were always very helpful and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimplyMerit?

My biggest critique of Simply Merit is that importing data from ADP into Simply Merit is not as seamless as other systems I've worked with. While you can pull your ADP data into Simply Merit via an import, I would have liked to see this be accomplished through a more hands-off approach such as a overnight file feed. I would also warn users that if you are utilizing ADP fields for purposes other than what those fields were designed for, you may need to make some adjustments to your data before importing into Simply Merit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Neil Morgan of SimplyMerit

Thank you, Tiffany, for the great feedback about SimplyMerit! SimplyMerit's API with ADP WFN is designed to pull your employee data and apply the standard field mapping to simplify the initial configurations as well as to provide you with full control over how and when the data is imported to SimplyMerit. You are correct that any unique customizations in your ADP environment do need to be factored into the data that's pulled into SimplyMerit. While this approach is more manual, it does allow for very quick implementation times.

"Effective and efficient tool for merit & bonus management"
5/5
What do you like best about SimplyMerit?

SimplyMerit helped us get away from managing our merit & bonus cycle on spreadsheets. Having the information laid out for managers to view their entire organizations, with all the data points necessary to make decisions, plus the real time changes and approvals was a big timesaver for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimplyMerit?

The configuration and data uploads process was tricky at the start, with not having familiarity of the product and how the data we import would translate into the platform. It took several tries with the employee salary history and the incentive plans, before we got it how we wanted to portray it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from stacy fenner of SimplyMerit

Thank You so much for taking the time to write such an excellent review.

Thank you for the feedback about your data uploads. We certainly always want to make sure the data is portrayed how you want it in the tool.

We are thrilled you were able move aware from spreadsheet and simplify your process. We are happy you found the roll up such a time saver.

"Easy to use and Outstanding Customer Service!!!"
5/5
What do you like best about SimplyMerit?

Ease of use, budget is always displayed, and management can easily see recommendations and make changes throughout the process. I like the ability to process multiple transactions simultaneously, Merit and multiple bonus types. Communicating with employees is easy; using the letter feature for merit and bonus allows the manager to print and present a letter to each employee. The customer support is outstanding!!! Always friendly and very helpful no matter what the question is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimplyMerit?

I wish there was a search feature in the Manager Activity section. I don't like having to continue to click next or guess which page my manager may be on in the event I need to resend an invite or check if the invite has been accepted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from stacy fenner of SimplyMerit

Thank you for such high praise! We pride ourselves on a tool where you can easily accomplish multiple transactions simultaneously. So happy you used and liked the letter function as well!

Great feedback on the Manager Activity:

Stay tuned! We have some significant enhancements planned for that function in the relatively near future.

Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback!

"Straight-Forward Product."
3.5/5
What do you like best about SimplyMerit?

I liked how quick we could get the system up and running. We could arrange the fields how we wanted to and upload any custom data fields we needed. Being able to pull the data was also helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimplyMerit?

The biggest dislike we had was with the final merit statements. Either this is how it is or we just didn't have time to research it fully, but we could not create a dynamic statement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Neil Morgan of SimplyMerit

We're glad to hear that you found SimplyMerit quick and customizable for your needs. Please reach out to our Support team regarding the merit statements. There is a tremendous amount of customization available today... and more on the way very soon!

What do you dislike about SimplyMerit?

The only thing I didn't like was that some of the fields on employee profiles I couldn't edit myself and would have to do another upload with any changes or edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Simply Merit system is easy to understand and use. Our managers can easily view and review increases without having to use Excel spreadsheets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SimplyMerit?

The communications you can use to notify employees of their merit increase needs to be manually created by the Simply Merit team. Once they are loaded, the communication is simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are thrilled you were able to simplify your process. As always it is our team's pleasure to create salary adjustment letters tailored to your company's needs.
