Equilar

Equilar, an information services firm, provides a suite of databases, search tools, and research services for making compensation decisions. In practice that means managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

The natural audience is small and mid-sized companies. They also list Big Data, Cloud Computing, Consulting and Financial Services, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a mid-sized company team themselves (51 to 200 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best.

Equilar is based in Redwood City, California and founded in 2000. More on equilar.com.

Things worth asking about: response SLAs, onboarding, and what is billed per hour. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Equilar, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
