We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The self-serve deal registration is excellent; companies can register for deals themselves, and the process is managed through our system.""The deal registration portion of the portal has been very valuable. It connects directly with our Salesforce, so it is super easy.""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.""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.""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 valuable features are the integration with Salesforce and ease of adding assets."

"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 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."

Cons
"They could provide a bit more user and technical training to our team. If I were able to really control the workflows in Allbound, with more of the expertise that they have, I could configure it to be a bit more responsive to our needs.""My advice to them is to make the co-branding piece easier. Allbound does make it easy not only for the administrator program, but also for partners, to interact. So if they can make the co-branding piece a little more robust, that would help.""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.""The partner finder on the website is not as good as it could be.""The user interface for admins could be a little bit better. Something that we appreciate a lot is that Allbound has increased some of the functionality that admins can do. That's good. But in terms of the user interface, there are still some improvements that can be made. Also from the user's perspective, the UI can be improved.""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.""Some of the integration and some of the content management could be a little bit better. They are working on some of the areas.""They need to improve its reporting capabilities. They don't have all the possibilities to drill down in reporting."

More Allbound Cons →

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is the highest price that you'll pay, but I am not comparing it with Salesforce, SAP, or Oracle. In the mid-level solutions, Allbound has one of the highest costs, but it also has higher capabilities and flexibility to customize things without developing."
  • "Considering everything the product provides, the price is fair. There are cheaper tools, but they don't offer the combination of requirements we have. The pricing model is also very compelling."
  • "It's reasonably priced for what it can do and how much time it can save. It's a big amount of money, but for the time that it can save for people from having to do the work, it's definitely worth it. Considering the constant improvements and the features they keep adding, its price is reasonable."
  • "Allbound's price is a great deal."
  • "Its pricing is fair, especially because we can have as many partners create accounts as we want. It has a very fair price range compared to other companies that charge per partner. We've thousands, so it would just be too expensive to go with a different option."
  • "Allbound has forced other vendors to be a little more competitive with their pricing. For what you get, which is a lot, the pricing of Allbound is fine."
  • "They have different licensing plans. Depending on what you enable or what kind of features you want activated, there might be extra costs."
  • "Considering the interface, the price is high, although Allbound offers a lot. Some of my negative opinion here is because we have yet to upgrade to using the tool's best-in-class features due to internal issues. As it stands, I don't personally see the value that supports the cost, but that could change when we turn on the features."
