Considered Both Products	Impartner PRM Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful?	Pepperjam Ascend (discontinued) Verified User Anonymous Chose Pepperjam Ascend (discontinued) Pepperjam Ascend's user interface is way behind these other platforms. It's not intuitive nor is it easy to create custom reports and engage with your publishers. We have been stuck with Pepperjam and many other affiliate networks have a very similar layout without much upside. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Impartner PRM	Pepperjam Ascend (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	There is no place where Pepperjam Ascend is well suited. The company needs to throw itself away and start over with all new everything! Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Each partner wants a customized portal these days. Treehouse facilitates this. Treehouse works quickly and easily. Treehouse works into the future. It's not 2010 anymore. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Lots of coupon sites. Enables different tiers of commissions. Can blast out newsletters to your network. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	The UI and portal builder is a little dated, could use an update It's somewhat limited in what it can do, would like to see additional features Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The dashboard/platform is the furthest thing from user-friendly. It looks like a high school student with zero experience designed it in excel and hoped for the best with the results. Reports are hit and miss. They may load, they may not! It's ridiculous, in my opinion. No mobile options whatsoever, everything has to be desktop. It's 2022, they need to catch up! Verified User Anonymous Read full review
