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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is deal registration. We track, contribute, and monitor our leisure line activity through our deal registration process. This allows us to partner with others, submit register, and co-sell deals easily. We always look for new opportunities to engage with our partners."
"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 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."
"The deal registration portion of the portal has been very valuable. It connects directly with our Salesforce, so it is super easy."
"I find it very easy to use. It has a pretty good UI. I'm relatively new, but I'm able to learn it very quickly. I'm definitely happy with the interface."
"Deal registrations are huge for us because since we've been using Allbound, we are able to keep much better track of those."
"What is important to us are our partners and clients. The user experience for those partners and clients, that they're able to quickly use it, is what I like about it. It's very simple to use."
"The valuable features are the integration with Salesforce and ease of adding assets."
"The most valuable to impact.com is the data lab. It allows access and the ability to see data in different ways. You are able to draw insights from the data which provides a lot of flexibility."
 

Cons

"I'm not a fan of Allbound's UI for administrators. For example, there are some issues with the report-building tool, and when I'm building a report, it's not always clear what the outcome will be. There are a lot of radio buttons, rather than filtering or being able to select from a list. It's an accordion layout, so I click on one option, and it expands to reveal a radio button selection, which means I can't always choose everything I want. Checkboxes or selecting multiple options from a list is an improvement. Additionally, the report output looks very dated, so the interface needs some love."
"Some of the integration and some of the content management could be a little bit better. They are working on some of the areas."
"They need to improve its reporting capabilities. They don't have all the possibilities to drill down in reporting."
"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."
"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."
"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 partner finder on the website is not as good as it could be."
"People are not able to deactivate members themselves. If someone leaves the organization, partners would like to do it themselves, but currently, they have to ask us."
"impact.com could do a lot to improve the B2B functionality of its platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is fair, especially because we can have as many partners create accounts as we want. It has a very fair price range compared to other companies that charge per partner. We've thousands, so it would just be too expensive to go with a different option."
"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."
"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 has forced other vendors to be a little more competitive with their pricing. For what you get, which is a lot, the pricing of Allbound is fine."
"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."
"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."
"Allbound's pricing is comparable."
"The price of impact.com is high. There is a standard license needed to use the solution."
