Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I like about the solution is that they have a fast channel of communication for the customer. For every deal, you create a template prospect page, which I found useful in Allbound. You can create a specific page for an end customer or partner, and you can share it with them where they can see playbooks or download some documents created in advance. You have the possibility to see how many times the end customer or partner opened the page that you created. It's like a landing page coded with specific information.""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.""Since launch, our most valuable feature has been getting individual users to sign up and use our deal registration program, as well as providing a place to see all of our events globally.""Deal registrations are huge for us because since we've been using Allbound, we are able to keep much better track of those.""The valuable features are the integration with Salesforce and ease of adding assets.""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...""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.""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 features are the all-in-one package solution and it was relatively straightforward to connect to Salesforce, our CRM solution.""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."

Cons
"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.""We would like to utilize partner automation more, but there is some troubleshooting and programming that needs to happen in the middleware to enable this.""They need to improve its reporting capabilities. They don't have all the possibilities to drill down in reporting.""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.""The partner finder on the website is not as good as it could be.""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.""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."

More Allbound Cons →

"Channeltivity are a small company and so we waited a long time for basic improvements.""I believe that granting more granular control over permissions within the system would help to prevent the issue we encountered."

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."
