The Gartner acknowledgement comes on the heels of Varicent’s strong performance in The Forrester Wave™: Sales Performance Management Solutions for Incentive Compensation, Q1 2025, where the company was recognized as a Leader and received the highest possible scores in 16 criteria, including innovation.
“We believe this recognition from Gartner reflects our long-standing commitment to helping organizations create a competitive edge through better revenue performance. As AI accelerates the pace of business, leaders need agile, intelligent systems that connect planning and performance to revenue outcomes,” said Marc Altshuller, CEO, Varicent. “For 20 years, Varicent has helped organizations design and optimize revenue strategies, and we believe that now, with AI, Sales Performance Management is becoming even more powerful as a driver of growth, predictability, and competitive advantage.”
Varicent believes this shift reflects what modern enterprise organizations increasingly demand from SPM solutions: an AI-native platform that brings together planning, incentives, and seller insights, with a unified data layer at global scale. For organizations evaluating SPM providers, we believe this recognition reinforces the growing role of Sales Performance Management as a business-critical system for increasing revenue and maintaining a competitive edge.
