Has any research been done on Compensation Market Pricing tools?

General functionality:
- provides access to salary, incentive and equity survey data provided by outside vendors and matches positions in our company to the survey positions
- takes periodic feeds of data from peoplesoft for our RSC positions
- creates files to submit to survey vendors for annual survey participation

Products in this space that I have identified at this point include:
- Mercer’s ePrism
- Watson Wyatt’s Reward
- MarketPay by MarketPay Associates
- NextComp.net
- CompXpert

I'm looking for assistance in rating them or any other feedback you may have.
