Helps increase partner engagement, enables rebranding, and is extremely intuitive
Allbound's user interface for administrators is extremely intuitive. The user-friendly interface and features make it easy for a typical user to navigate, which was what we were looking for in a partner platform. The daily and monthly releases from Allbound demonstrate their commitment to evolving with the market. After we integrated our systems, onboarding became seamless and as simple as signing up with an email address and enabling our APIs to communicate. Keeping the connection active and building within our system helped us ensure that we had everything we needed. We are able to customize the content that different partners see when they log in. It's as simple as creating a group and tagging that content with that group. The ability for customization is extremely important for us. Allbound enables our partners to rebrand our white-label collateral. We see many of our smaller and larger partners using it, but we plan to reach out to medium-sized partners to learn why they are not using the co-brand feature as much. We are currently investigating if it is because of a lack of knowledge or a lack of need. However, we know that the feature is being used regularly by those who are aware of it. Our channel account managers are using the channel insights features. They recently made a change to the feature that changed its visibility. As an admin, we are still producing those reports, but I can also say that we are producing them regularly for our CAM team. Allbound has helped us to increase partner engagement. We send our newsletter from there, and we can send reminder notifications for things like training. We can also create special programs for certain alliance partners that are different from our reseller partners.

Has improved customer interactions through portal customization and streamlined form submissions
What I appreciate most about Salesforce Experience Cloud is if you don't have anything particular in mind or don't want to get started with a blank slate, there are various templates available to help develop things for your client. That is something where Salesforce has an edge. Apart from that, how they curate things for partners and customers, how they clearly differentiate it, and how the licenses work for partners and customers is also something great. Synchronizing department data is also a great point about Salesforce Experience Cloud. If I want to associate any end customers' data to my original CRM, the sync happens very easily. For example, if I am a partner and submit a reimbursement, I want the fulfillment of that reimbursement to be done in my organization which my own people use. Personalized content is another valuable feature. For instance, if I have multiple partners, such as being a healthcare provider associated with an insurance company, and they have multiple healthcare providers, they can have branding for each healthcare provider within their Salesforce Experience Cloud site. Wherever we implemented Salesforce Experience Cloud, they were using legacy systems. The customizations we can do using Salesforce Experience Cloud significantly improved the UI/UX. For example, if initially it took 10 minutes to fill out a form, after our customizations it just took three minutes or two minutes. This significant time savings helped them to do more business, resulting in substantial ROI.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The self-serve deal registration is excellent; companies can register for deals themselves, and the process is managed through our system."
"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."
"The valuable features are the integration with Salesforce and ease of adding assets."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Wherever we implemented Salesforce Experience Cloud, they were using legacy systems, and the customizations we can do using Salesforce Experience Cloud significantly improved the UI/UX—for example, if initially it took 10 minutes to fill out a form, after our customizations it just took three minutes or two minutes, and this significant time savings helped them to do more business, resulting in substantial ROI."
"The ability to set up layouts and create pages on the fly was beneficial."
"We can create our own design and process requirements, unlike Service Cloud and Sales Cloud, which have standard applications and processes."
 

Cons

"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."
"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'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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the integration and some of the content management could be a little bit better. They are working on some of the areas."
"There was one area that could be improved regarding document generation within Salesforce Experience Cloud. When submitting a form and wanting to have a PDF copy downloaded within the system, or when doing an integration with DocuSign while generating a document, we faced some challenges."
"Some limitations include not being able to hide buttons based on criteria on the portal side and requiring complex workarounds."
"The CSS library of Salesforce is not as customizable as I would prefer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Allbound's pricing is comparable."
"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's price is a great deal."
"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."
"I know it is much more affordable than going with some of the other services. For example, Salesforce has a partner portal option, but it is much more expensive, so I know Allbound is reasonable in that sense, but I do not know what the reasonability is across the board."
"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."
