### "SimplyMerit - Excellent Tool for Compensation/Merit Increase Management" — 5.0/5

> **Melanie** | *30 October 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and quick implementation time.
> 
> **Cons**: Great product and they always seem to be updating it.  The only request I would have is that they make it to where information can be manually entered since right now, all must be uploaded.  Uploading is great when you have a lot of information to get into the system at one time, but when you just have a quick change or addition here and there, the ability to get into the program and just quickly enter a change would make a HUGE difference.
> 
> Excellent - \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is fantastic.  He understands how compensation/merit systems work and is a great resource when questions arise.  He's very knowledgeable.

And SimplyMerit does it all and much more.&#10;Great customer service and helpdesk. It's easy to use from an administrator point-of-view and end-user as well. So many features that make your Merit and Bonus process easier and safe. We saved a lot of time on the approval process.
> 
> **Cons**: None. Every day I use the system I find a new applicability, a new feature that makes the process easier.
