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 …
Mindmatrix Bridge
Chose Mindmatrix Bridge
I selected Mindmatrix solely based on the content they had available for our vertical.

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.

Pros
  • Lead registrations. One reason we chose Allbound was for its easy to use deal registration form.
  • Events. We promote every event that our company will be attending to all of our partners via Allbound.
  • Prospecting. Our team also creates unique prospecting pages for customers, prospects, and partners to help drive specific information that these companies should have access to across the organization.

Cons
  • I worked on Cloud based Channel Mechanics product, not sure it could be a server setup model product
  • It's good for mid and big firms. But not sure this product can be economical for startup and micro business
  • Service level integration is difficult require easy way of doing it

  • Navigation is confusing, not intuitive.
  • Creating and changing users must be done by a ticketing request.
  • Horrific support, all email and overseas, rarely talk to anyone.
  • There are issues in practically every area. There are inconsistencies with sharing of contacts, sharing of client and CRM data. For example, only the owner of the campaign can see reports on that particular campaign. There are sharing inconsistencies throughout the entire program that just do not make sense.
  • There is also an unusually high amount of undelivered mail, and a very high SPAM occurrence. Much higher than our backup, MailChimp for example.

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.

It also helps us empower our partners by providing them with instructional courses and turnkey marketing strategies.
