We performed a comparison between Channeltivity and PartnerStack 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."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."
"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."
"Deal registrations are huge for us because since we've been using Allbound, we are able to keep much better track of those."
"The deal registration portion of the portal has been very valuable. It connects directly with our Salesforce, so it is super easy."
"The learning tracks are extremely useful and valuable; they allow us to quickly deliver enablement training, track partners, and issue certificates to those who pass a certification exam."
"I find it very easy to use. It has a pretty good UI. I'm relatively new, but I'm able to learn it very quickly. I'm definitely happy with the interface."
"What is important to us are our partners and clients. The user experience for those partners and clients, that they're able to quickly use it, is what I like about it. It's very simple to use."
"The self-serve deal registration is excellent; companies can register for deals themselves, and the process is managed through our system."
"This solution is very easy to use and does not take more than five minutes of playing around before you get a good understanding of how it works."
"The most valuable features are the all-in-one package solution and it was relatively straightforward to connect to Salesforce, our CRM solution."
"The features that enable commission-based partner management and payment are the most valuable aspects of PartnerStack. This is undoubtedly the top priority. Additionally, their newly introduced discovery tool is impressive."
"There are three main areas that I would say were the most useful, one would not necessarily be a feature, but their UI is very easy to use."
"They need to improve its reporting capabilities. They don't have all the possibilities to drill down in reporting."
"Better segmentation in terms of user rights and access. Both internal and external users can be given specific access rights and I don't feel that there are enough options and this impacts reporting and access."
"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."
"On the design side, there could be some more updates to make it look a little bit more modern. We right now use the classic dashboard, but we're switching to the minimal dashboard that's available to try and make the UI look a little bit prettier for our partners. In the design area, there could definitely be some improvements that partners would appreciate."
"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'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."
"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."
"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."
"I believe that granting more granular control over permissions within the system would help to prevent the issue we encountered."
"Channeltivity are a small company and so we waited a long time for basic improvements."
"While there have been significant advancements over the years, reporting remains an area where we constantly seek improvement in terms of both accuracy and comprehensiveness."
"The issue is that you can only merge one of the tracking links, and that is the primary tracking link."
