Featured Reviews

Jessica Roja - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Empower customization with personalized UI and seamless user independence
We are currently working on an Experience Cloud site. It is one site that you can create using Salesforce. It is a normal site where users can log in using their credentials. Their users, such as customers or partners, can process something on their own. It is independent of complete Salesforce…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The valuable features are the integration with Salesforce and ease of adding assets."
"Deal registrations are huge for us because since we've been using Allbound, we are able to keep much better track of those."
"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."
"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 deal registration portion of the portal has been very valuable. It connects directly with our Salesforce, so it is super easy."
"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 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..."
"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

"They need to improve its reporting capabilities. They don't have all the possibilities to drill down in reporting."
"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."
"I wish Channel Insights had more intelligence where it not only provides data and stats but also offers more analysis and an extra layer of intelligence on the data that it has."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"The CSS library of Salesforce is not as customizable as I would prefer."
"Some limitations include not being able to hide buttons based on criteria on the portal side and requiring complex workarounds."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Allbound's pricing is comparable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Allbound's price is a great deal."
"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."
"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."
