Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Deal registrations are huge for us because since we've been using Allbound, we are able to keep much better track of those.""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.""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...""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 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.""The deal registration portion of the portal has been very valuable. It connects directly with our Salesforce, so it is super easy."

"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 need to improve its reporting capabilities. They don't have all the possibilities to drill down in reporting.""The partner finder on the website is not as good as it could be.""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.""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.""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.""Some of the integration and some of the content management could be a little bit better. They are working on some of the areas."

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."
