We performed a comparison between Impartner PRM 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."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..."
"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 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."
"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."
"The deal registration portion of the portal has been very valuable. It connects directly with our Salesforce, so it is super easy."
"Content management is most valuable because it's the one that I use the most and the one I'm pleased about."
"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 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."
"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."
"Some of the integration and some of the content management could be a little bit better. They are working on some of the areas."
"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."
"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."
"People are not able to deactivate members themselves. If someone leaves the organization, partners would like to do it themselves, but currently, they have to ask us."
"The partner finder on the website is not as good as it could be."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
