We performed a comparison between Allbound and Impartner PRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Partner Relationship Management (PRM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"I like the fact that I can go into Allbound and quickly update what I need to update. And I like that when we have a new initiative, something that is really important for our partners to understand, I can feature it in different places on the portal."
"I like the content and resource section, where we can publish all sorts of videos, PDFs, PPTs, etc., and send automated notifications or emails to partners or user groups. We can form groups and design our courses or collaterals for them."
"Content management is most valuable because it's the one that I use the most and the one I'm pleased about."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the deal registration component and the fact that it is reflected on the dashboard. It's nice that our partners have visibility into where the deals they submit stand, in terms of the sales process..."
"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."
"What is our primary use case? Allbound is a partner relationship management tool. We use Allbound to manage content resources, playbooks, commissions, etc. Our enablement schedule is exclusively posted in Allbound. We're also evaluating Allbound's Marketing Development Fund module. We have around 150 users in multiple locations. How has it helped my organization? Business partners are critical for achieving growth, so a PRM solution is essential. It creates a platform for partners to deal with us and access work. They can register an account, log into Allbound, and get a commission. Partners can see important announcements and look at the playbooks. The number of partners has increased significantly, and partner engagement has improved by 10 to 20 percent. Business partners can filter and customize the profile set for them. We can log their activity to see what they have been using. That's a helpful feature we haven't leveraged much because most of our partners sell a whole suite of products. As we evolve and get more partners who specialize in a particular industry or subsection of our product, we will need to add the option to allow partners to filter the most relevant content. Customizing content isn't too difficult or easy. You need to build a case and send it to the Allbound team. We must schedule a call, and it might take one or two sessions to implement customization. Hypothetically, Allbound enables partners to rebrand white-labeled collaterals, but our company policy doesn't allow it. Allbound's Channel Insights feature gives us actionable intelligence on partner engagement. We use it weekly, and we've implemented some custom modules we developed in-house for the partners. That's all listed in Allbound's Channel Insights section, where we can see the number of partners, usage, and activity in the last 30 days. Using Channel Insights, we realized that a partner wasn't using our labels and wasn't engaged, so we started hosting training sessions to increase engagement. What is most valuable? I like Allbound's ease of use. For example, we have been implementing Allbound's Market Development Funds module. It's intuitive and easy for the partners. If the partners want to see which commissions have been paid, that information is readily accessible."
"Deal registrations are huge for us because since we've been using Allbound, we are able to keep much better track of those."
"The solution has helped us improve all across the board. Everything that we did before PRM was a one-off. We shared the content back and forth through emails. Whenever there was a scope for training or enablement, a mail would be sent on the same. The solution has helped us scale where partners could use opportunities to get trained on our services and products."
"I would recommend that others interested in the solution use it because it provides a user-friendly setup process. It's easy to navigate through the setup process."
"The partner finder on the website is not as good as it could be."
"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."
"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."
"They could add an LMS component to the platform where we would have courses through Allbound and a record of whether partners pass or don't pass. The quiz feature would come in more handy at that point."
"They need to improve its reporting capabilities. They don't have all the possibilities to drill down in reporting."
"I would like to see more features for tracking training progress and quizzes. The progress report that Allbound generates isn't very helpful. I want to track how far a user has completed and who has or hasn't restarted. We are using a third-party platform for training purposes, especially enablement purposes. The progress reports and analytics are very powerful, and we'd like to see something along those lines. Allbound has certification, but it's missing some things from a certification point of view that are available in other products."
"I wish Channel Insights had more intelligence where it not only provides data and stats but also offers more analysis and an extra layer of intelligence on the data that it has."
"I would like to see some easy ways in retrieving reports, data analytics, etc. The solution needs to be more specific from the data reporting perspective. It would make it easier to drill down by specific partners. It would be interesting to see some integrations and partnerships for the solution where they could make use of the account mapping tools."
"It would be helpful to have an improved reporting tool in the solution."
