What is Xactly?

Xactly provides sales performance management covering incentive compensation, sales planning, territory and quota design, and the analytics around them. The vendor cites being named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Sales Performance Management.

Incentive compensation is a harder problem than it appears and it is why this category exists. A sales commission plan combines quota attainment, accelerators, multiple products, team splits, clawbacks and exceptions, and it changes every year. Most companies run it in spreadsheets, where errors are frequent and consequential: underpaying a salesperson damages trust immediately, overpaying is difficult to recover, and neither is discovered quickly.

Getting it wrong also destroys the plan's purpose. A commission scheme is a behavioural instrument meant to direct effort, and if sellers cannot predict what they will earn they stop responding to it and simply distrust the numbers.

Coupling planning with compensation is logical because quotas, territories and commission rates are one design. Setting territories without knowing the resulting quota attainment, or rates without modelling total payout, produces plans that either fail to motivate or cost far more than budgeted.

A plan combines attainment, accelerators, multiple products, splits, clawbacks and exceptions, and changes yearly. Run in spreadsheets, errors are frequent, underpayment damages trust and overpayment is hard to recover.

A commission scheme is a behavioural instrument meant to direct effort. If sellers cannot predict their earnings they stop responding to it and simply distrust the numbers.

Quotas, territories and rates are one design. Setting territories without knowing resulting attainment, or rates without modelling total payout, produces plans that under motivate or overspend.
