Chose Channelscaler
These platforms are more for affiliate marketing than partner marketing and although they are better for tracking and payouts, Allbound is a lot better for collateral management and that's why we chose them.
Chose Channelscaler
For our partner portal, we have chosen Allbound. We wanted one place where all of our partners could go to find the information they required, and where some of that information could be made available automatically. Allbound provides us all the necessary tools for facilitating …
Chose Channelscaler
Allbound offers everything we want in a PRM and portal experience for our partners at a fraction of the cost and with a much easier to use interface for both the administrator and the partner. Allbound is super responsive to our ideas and helps us implement without additional …
Chose Channelscaler
Impartner is really good but they were much more expensive and not as easy to use as Allbound.
Chose Channelscaler
They are different in the sense that Allbound allows you to loop in different parners to a degree that HubSpot doesn't outside smaller extensions and portals. More visbility into interactions with HubSpot, but it's truly built for marketing vs a sales forward/partnership …
Impartner PRM
Chose Impartner PRM
We looked at Salesforce PRM. Honestly, I would steer clear of that. We switched to Allbound and it’s been a much better experience.
Chose Impartner PRM
ImpartnerPRM has a slight edge as Zift appears to still be struggling with the integration of legacy Relayware functionality. This results in a different user experience and issues with single sign-on.
Chose Impartner PRM
Salesforce was too expensive for us at the time and required too much customization and internal strain at the time. We ended up choosing Salesforce over Impartner later on once our channel business was more established and we had more resources internally. Impartner was more …
Chose Impartner PRM
We were previously using a piecemeal collection of software to accomplish the same tasks as TreeHouse Interactive Marketing View. I can't even begin to compare the experience of before and after. Having one well developed tool to accomplish all these tasks is a life changer.

Very well-suited for a rising startup like ours that is rapidly growing its customer and partner base. Very well-suited for needing to make rapid changes to your marketing mix and being able to quickly see it reflected in the portal.

TreeHouse Interactive Marketing View is well suited when there is a whole team that needs to work together quickly. When the team is of five or less the overhead of the system is a little much to warrant use

Allbound is so easy to use as an administrator and provides human support and a resource for its customers to learn about the features and tools available. Our partners consistently provide feedback to us about how much they absolutely love our partner portal, which Allbound provides the structure and functionality to allow us to over amazing things to thousands of partner globally. Almost every person who provides feedback says some iteration of "this is the best partner portal i've ever used."

Usability
It is by far the easiest system to administrator that I have either had experience doing or demoed from other vendors. No coding skills needed. Simple interfaces for everything. And the Allbound University and live support are great!

Regular meetings, lots of UAT, quick responses, and adherence to our timeline made implementation a breeze -- even though we had some really complex processes we needed to support.

For our partner portal, we have chosen Allbound. We wanted one place where all of our partners could go to find the information they required, and where some of that information could be made available automatically. Allbound provides us all the necessary tools for facilitating content exchange with our partners, including legally binding contracts, transaction registrations, and everything else we may need. It also helps us empower our partners by providing them with instructional courses and turnkey marketing strategies.
