Helps increase partner engagement, enables rebranding, and is extremely intuitive
Allbound's user interface for administrators is extremely intuitive. The user-friendly interface and features make it easy for a typical user to navigate, which was what we were looking for in a partner platform. The daily and monthly releases from Allbound demonstrate their commitment to evolving with the market. After we integrated our systems, onboarding became seamless and as simple as signing up with an email address and enabling our APIs to communicate. Keeping the connection active and building within our system helped us ensure that we had everything we needed. We are able to customize the content that different partners see when they log in. It's as simple as creating a group and tagging that content with that group. The ability for customization is extremely important for us. Allbound enables our partners to rebrand our white-label collateral. We see many of our smaller and larger partners using it, but we plan to reach out to medium-sized partners to learn why they are not using the co-brand feature as much. We are currently investigating if it is because of a lack of knowledge or a lack of need. However, we know that the feature is being used regularly by those who are aware of it. Our channel account managers are using the channel insights features. They recently made a change to the feature that changed its visibility. As an admin, we are still producing those reports, but I can also say that we are producing them regularly for our CAM team. Allbound has helped us to increase partner engagement. We send our newsletter from there, and we can send reminder notifications for things like training. We can also create special programs for certain alliance partners that are different from our reseller partners.

Straightforward to set up, and stable, but requires more granular control over permissions
We encountered an issue where we had different processes for working with partners based on region. For example, Europe and the United States had different processes, and Channeltivity had technical limitations that prevented us from having separate processes for each region. Therefore, we had to unify the processes across regions in order to implement them in Channeltivity. This was one of the main issues we faced. I believe that granting more granular control over permissions within the system would help to prevent the issue we encountered. Specifically, who should be able to view what within the system should be determined by field-level permissions, such as profile permissions. This is an area where I would like to see improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The learning tracks are extremely useful and valuable; they allow us to quickly deliver enablement training, track partners, and issue certificates to those who pass a certification exam."
"Deal registrations are huge for us because since we've been using Allbound, we are able to keep much better track of those."
"The referral functionality has been the most valuable for us, meaning our partners can submit leads to us via Allbound. That is really critical for us because that is how we generate new business. When a partner submits a lead to us via Allbound, it's a really hot lead for us to work on and convert."
"I like the content and resource section, where we can publish all sorts of videos, PDFs, PPTs, etc., and send automated notifications or emails to partners or user groups. We can form groups and design our courses or collaterals for them."
"Content management is most valuable because it's the one that I use the most and the one I'm pleased about."
"Since launch, our most valuable feature has been getting individual users to sign up and use our deal registration program, as well as providing a place to see all of our events globally."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the deal registration component and the fact that it is reflected on the dashboard. It's nice that our partners have visibility into where the deals they submit stand, in terms of the sales process..."
"The valuable features are the integration with Salesforce and ease of adding assets."
"This solution is very easy to use and does not take more than five minutes of playing around before you get a good understanding of how it works."
"The most valuable features are the all-in-one package solution and it was relatively straightforward to connect to Salesforce, our CRM solution."
 

Cons

"Allbound could have more localization and customization. The templates work well, and maybe they don't want to target large enterprises by design. The solution is geared toward small and medium-sized enterprises, but they could allow more localization and deeper customization. Allbound is broad, but it could be deeper."
"They could add an LMS component to the platform where we would have courses through Allbound and a record of whether partners pass or don't pass. The quiz feature would come in more handy at that point."
"The solution's UI could be improved by providing externalized access to menus, which I sometimes have to dig into. The good thing is that Allbound is doing that, I made the suggestion a while ago, and they're already implementing it. Of course, as a user, I want it to be now, not in a few weeks. Some more flexibility in UI customization would also be a welcome feature; the ability to edit coloring and place images would be excellent."
"They could provide a bit more user and technical training to our team. If I were able to really control the workflows in Allbound, with more of the expertise that they have, I could configure it to be a bit more responsive to our needs."
"On the design side, there could be some more updates to make it look a little bit more modern. We right now use the classic dashboard, but we're switching to the minimal dashboard that's available to try and make the UI look a little bit prettier for our partners. In the design area, there could definitely be some improvements that partners would appreciate."
"Better segmentation in terms of user rights and access. Both internal and external users can be given specific access rights and I don't feel that there are enough options and this impacts reporting and access."
"The user interface for admins could be a little bit better. Something that we appreciate a lot is that Allbound has increased some of the functionality that admins can do. That's good. But in terms of the user interface, there are still some improvements that can be made. Also from the user's perspective, the UI can be improved."
"They need to improve its reporting capabilities. They don't have all the possibilities to drill down in reporting."
"I believe that granting more granular control over permissions within the system would help to prevent the issue we encountered."
"Channeltivity are a small company and so we waited a long time for basic improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is the highest price that you'll pay, but I am not comparing it with Salesforce, SAP, or Oracle. In the mid-level solutions, Allbound has one of the highest costs, but it also has higher capabilities and flexibility to customize things without developing."
"It's reasonably priced for what it can do and how much time it can save. It's a big amount of money, but for the time that it can save for people from having to do the work, it's definitely worth it. Considering the constant improvements and the features they keep adding, its price is reasonable."
"Considering the interface, the price is high, although Allbound offers a lot. Some of my negative opinion here is because we have yet to upgrade to using the tool's best-in-class features due to internal issues. As it stands, I don't personally see the value that supports the cost, but that could change when we turn on the features."
"Considering everything the product provides, the price is fair. There are cheaper tools, but they don't offer the combination of requirements we have. The pricing model is also very compelling."
"Allbound's pricing is comparable."
"Allbound's price is a great deal."
"They have different licensing plans. Depending on what you enable or what kind of features you want activated, there might be extra costs."
"What we are paying for it is comparable to the market, but the price of PRMs is quite high for the value they deliver."
"The pricing is slightly above average."
