Impact is quite good for publishers who wants to run global campaigns with ease. Others have some quite nice feature sets but they are good for regional publishers.

Impact is the best affiliate platform on the market. Everflow and Tapfiliate are very good for their pricing structure but they don't have the marketplace Impact does.

Tune provides great on-boarding experience for new users, but the functionality of the product itself is limited. For example if you multiple partners worldwide who sell your product, Salesforce CRM integration is a must to achieve business goals. Salesforce ecosystems helps to …

Impartner is fine for those not using Salesforce, but the ability to customize the Salesforce PRM is far superior and more seamlessly adds data to Salesforce than Impartner does. A lot of customization we needed to do was required to go through Impartner, but we can do anything …

Likelihood to Recommend
Impact is well-suited for those trying to upgrade their affiliate program and get more partners. It's one of the best solutions out there for advertisers looking to make a huge push. It's less appropriate for very small businesses that may not be able to afford the high monthly minimum of $1,000 or more.

For partners on-boarding and information sharing this tool is a perfect fit. It also fits well for admin users as it helps to consolidate all information in one place with most common integrations being supported by Salesforce. So far we've been dipping our toes with this product, but in the future look forward to expanding on functionalities that we utilize in business processes

Cons
  • User interface could be improved a little, as it is a quite difficult task to find the content or links
  • Approval from the advertisers sometimes takes a huge amount of time. If they can somehow reduce the response time, it will be great
  • New affiliates might find the onboarding process a little difficult

  • One thing is, you have to put the time you took on the case if you edited it. I would like to change the name or a note and not have to go back and put how long it took.
  • Reports can sometimes be hard to create.

We are definitely going to renew as we created and developed a very functional and complete solution that we won't want to lose. and the reason we achieved that is by continuously evolving and enhancing. That would not be possible without the qualified technical support we have at our disposal internally.

Usability
Impact has had a major impact on our business. It is pretty easy to use if you don't have multiple accounts with them, so be sure you keep things streamlined. Otherwise, it can be confusing if you have to bounce between different accounts you've applied to. While they are managed under a single login, they can be difficult to distinguish between when trying to see how successful your campaigns are.

Salesforce Partner Management is complete and has great usability. Just as a Salesforce full CRM does. However, when you have to deploy the initial implementation and/or create the infrastructure for your Salesforce Partner Management it might require, as expected, a very good support and development team and resources

Support Rating
We've been reaching out requesting support for two months and no one has responded. They completely ghosted us. We've emailed the original sales rep, our account manager, our sales rep and account manager's bosses, and others. Still no response, though I can see the emails have been opened multiple times. I've never experienced worse support.

Everflow had ok tracking but didn't have a great payment process and their marketplace was geared towards larger marketing conglomerates that we would have had to sign other contracts with. CJ is very comparable in terms of features their marketplace is bigger but the quality isn't always as high. The impact has the best tracking and SEM policy monitoring of the bunch.

In general lines, the simple drag-and-drop interface of Salesforce Partner Management makes it a great tool when comparing it with the rest of the tools in the market. Additionally, the vast number of integration with content management systems is not a feature easily found in other similar tools and it really helps with the assets management process.
