Payscale allowed for a variation of jobs and allows your to combine many jobs into one (blend) which helps accurately achieve salaries for unique job titles. > > **Cons**: The implementation was horrible and we didn’t feel prepared to run simple reports after implementing PayScale. The reporting options are very vague or overly detailed. There is no medium and there aren’t common reports that many clients use frequently. > > Overall, I would rate PayScale a 6 out of 10. There are some features that are great but implementing can be a pain. Got a unique company with many different industries in one, PayScale doesn’t cater to us. ----- ### "An excellent tool- comprehensively price jobs and more" — 5.0/5 > **Austin** | *10 September 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use Payfactors specifically, and it is a huge help to our work pricing jobs and ensuring an informed relationship to external market data. > > **Cons**: There can be a little bit of a learning curve to it, and some of the nuances are not entirely clear. For example, utilizing quick price vs starting a new pricing project seem to yield different results when searching for the same job match. > > Overall it has been a very positive experience. It is a robust experience with a plethora of data, that is manageable to use given the complexity of the information it is working with. ----- ### "Great tool for compensation" — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *28 September 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use. They do a great job with onboarding and making sure that you use the product to the fullest. > > **Cons**: I have not had any issues with the product. So far, one year in, I love the tool and use ifor each new hire. ----- ### "MarketPay works well, Insight Lab is TERRIBLE" — 4.0/5 > **Jordan** | *24 February 2020* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The MarketPay product is easy to set up, create and pull reports, and manage from and administrator perspective. The UI is pretty basic without any bells and whistles, but the product works well to store compensation data and to report off of it. Ad hoc pricing is great for pulling data for new roles. > > **Cons**: The MarketPay platform UI is pretty dated, but I don’t believe that takes away from the product. The Insight Lab platform is terrible for anyone who needs to price more than 50 or so jobs. The amount of manual work that must be done to match each job is ridiculous, and I don’t know why anyone would think the process is acceptable. > > We implemented the payscale platforms (insight lab first then moved to MarketPay when we realized how bad the Insight Lab product is) to store all of our external salary surveys in one place. We are able to run analytics off of the data directly in the platform. We previously housed all of the data in excel worksheets, so this has removed the need for massive spreadsheets. ----- ### "UNRELIABLE service uptime. ONGOING system outages that are highly disruptive to accessing the site." — 1.0/5 > **Julie** | *4 February 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not much right now, as Payscale is consistently a roadblock in getting my work done. > > **Cons**: CONSISTENTLY have trouble accessing the payscale site due to system outages. I have currently been locked out of the site for over a week, with only one successful login, which was not at a time my schedule allowed for the deep work of re-benchmarking positions. As someone that works in the SaaS industry, I understand the technical difficulties and have a great deal of patience in these situations. However, Payscale is NEVER reliable and seems that 8 out of 10 times I try to log in, the system is unavailable. The system is easy to navigate when you can get in. But when you can't get in 80% of the time, that just doesn't do you any good. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/130636/payscale?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/130636/payscale) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
