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.

Straightforward to set up, and stable, but requires more granular control over permissions
We encountered an issue where we had different processes for working with partners based on region. For example, Europe and the United States had different processes, and Channeltivity had technical limitations that prevented us from having separate processes for each region. Therefore, we had to unify the processes across regions in order to implement them in Channeltivity. This was one of the main issues we faced. I believe that granting more granular control over permissions within the system would help to prevent the issue we encountered. Specifically, who should be able to view what within the system should be determined by field-level permissions, such as profile permissions. This is an area where I would like to see improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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..."
"Content management is most valuable because it's the one that I use the most and the one I'm pleased about."
"After we purchased Allbound, this process was streamlined with our internal process, our sales and presales team started using one platform instead of multiple platforms, which helped us to communicate better as a company, and its onboarding capabilities allowed us to innovate faster with partners and support seven new partners within six months instead of three months per partner previously."
"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 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 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."
"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 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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the packages cost more but have very few features. They aren't worth the money."
"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 believe that granting more granular control over permissions within the system would help to prevent the issue we encountered."
"Channeltivity are a small company and so we waited a long time for basic improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"They have different licensing plans. Depending on what you enable or what kind of features you want activated, there might be extra costs."
"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."
"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."
"Allbound's pricing is comparable."
"What we are paying for it is comparable to the market, but the price of PRMs is quite high for the value they deliver."
"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."
"The pricing is slightly above average."
