It saves a lot of time when onboarding new users and provides them with resources
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 platform is simple to use. Everything on the interface is self-explanatory and accessible to any new users. Allbound provides many features from a partner perspective, and we are satisfied with those. It has a repository for all our collaterals and a calendar where we can publish all our upcoming events and webinars. There is also a dashboard that offers a platform to share the most important things happening within the organization or in the industry. We use all these features to build on this partner ecosystem. The solution has excellent integration with other platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot. Every partner needs to be added to Salesforce, and we can onboard them from Salesforce to Allbound with a click. All you need is a company mail ID, and a new partner is onboarded. So it is quite an easy and very fast process. The playbooks are a powerful feature. We can group similar types of collateral. For example, we have a playbook for each of our 3 major product lines. Cybersecurity partners don't need to search everything in the content and resources section. They can jump to the cybersecurity playbook and find all the related collateral. We can also form a playbook for salespeople where they can find all the collaterals related to sales training and sales. We use Allbound's filtering feature for our groups. We have groups for partners, sales, and developers. Any developer content is not accessible to the partner community. We separate the groups and filter them from the company's perspective. We can select collateral from the company section if we want to share it with a particular partner. Publishing the content is a manual process that takes some time, but filtering is quick. We use the channel insights feature, but we're only scratching the surface. We have used it to see how many new users have signed up in the past 50 days or the last time a particular user logged in. It shows us the top 10 content resources or the number of partners onboarded this quarter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Deal registrations are huge for us because since we've been using Allbound, we are able to keep much better track of those."
"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 self-serve deal registration is excellent; companies can register for deals themselves, and the process is managed through our system."
"Content management is most valuable because it's the one that I use the most and the one I'm pleased about."
"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."
"The valuable features are the integration with Salesforce and ease of adding assets."
"Allbound has the best range of features of any PRM solution I've ever seen; they tick all the boxes and fulfill every requirement for a system to manage partners."
"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 most valuable to impact.com is the data lab. It allows access and the ability to see data in different ways. You are able to draw insights from the data which provides a lot of flexibility."
 

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 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 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."
"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."
"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 solution's UI could be improved by providing externalized access to menus, which I sometimes have to dig into."
"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."
"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."
"impact.com could do a lot to improve the B2B functionality of its platform."
 

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."
"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."
"Allbound's price is a great deal."
"They have different licensing plans. Depending on what you enable or what kind of features you want activated, there might be extra costs."
"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."
"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 pricing is comparable."
"The price of impact.com is high. There is a standard license needed to use the solution."
