By Varicent Software · Founded 2005 · Toronto, ON · pe backed

Varicent Forecasting is the forecasting module of the Varicent sales performance management (SPM) platform, founded 2005, PE-backed by Great Hill Partners (post-IBM divestiture 2020, covered separately as `varicent` in the SPM ranking). The product covers AI-driven forecasting + pipeline analytics + territory + quota integration with Varicent SPM. Strengths: SPM-anchored forecasting (unique advantage for incentive compensation + forecasting unification), tight Varicent platform integration, mature enterprise installed base via Varicent SPM, broad enterprise compliance. Best fit for Varicent SPM customers extending into forecasting. Trade-offs: outside Varicent ecosystem the product is less compelling, standalone forecasting buyers face pressure to buy full SPM, AI forecast prediction below dedicated specialists, and innovation pace below Clari/BoostUp.

Best for

Varicent SPM enterprise customers (1,000-50,000 employees) extending SPM into forecasting with unified incentive compensation + forecasting workflows.

Worst for

Standalone forecasting buyers (Clari/Aviso/BoostUp better best-of-breed), Salesforce-only shops (Salesforce Forecasting included), or Gong-anchored teams (Gong Forecast better).
