Unified partner data has transformed account mapping and drives predictable revenue growth
The best features are Crossbeam AI and Crossbeam Account Mapping capability. Crossbeam also has a great overall capability set around its integrations, offering many out-of-the-box integrations. Crossbeam embeds ecosystem data to expand our ICP and addressable market, leading to cross-pollination between sales and marketing. Crossbeam Account Mapping is the tool and capability used most by our go-to-market teams, saving significant manual processes and back-and-forth communication between email, collaboration tools, and Excel spreadsheets by integrating all workflows into a single unified Crossbeam database. Crossbeam AI has enabled us to surface and bring context to our ecosystem intelligence by surveying our CRM and all the integrations we have with Crossbeam, allowing us to query and ask questions of our database in an agentic AI fashion.

Simple to onboard and implement, with good communication and automation features
There are 2 main areas of opportunity for PartnerStack to improve on their platform. 1. You can only merge the default tracking link into an email. As someone who is trying to engage my affiliates and or referral partners on a monthly send, if I want them driving to a different location every month, I have to manually go in and change that link, and then notify my partners via email. As opposed to having 20 links and being able to choose which one to merge into an email. It's a strategy play. If Marketing has a specific blogpost we want to drive traffic too, I have to go in and change the default link vs creating a new link, merging it into an email and sending an email to all my partners with their monthly link to share. The second piece of functionality is that they can do a lot of creative things when it comes to progression paths, managing payouts, and other such things but can't do progression paths similar to airline miles. Earn it this year and you've earned it the next year even without anymore sales, referred leads and so on. In the sense that if I earn platinum status as a partner in 2021, I keep that status in 2022 even if I don't sell or refer anymore in 2022. But in 2023 I would move to the correct tier based on my progression path efforts in 2022. That's how I prefer to do it. They don't have the capability to automate that process right now. I have to manage that piece manually, which isn't too difficult. Those are the two main areas where I believe there is room for growth. PartnerStack also includes an LMS but it's not the easier to use that is for sure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Crossbeam has helped my organization deliver predictable revenue across our channel and tech partners and accelerate our growth across our partner ecosystem."
"Crossbeam has impacted my organization positively as it has been a great tool, providing seamless connection to partners and potential partners."
"There are three main areas that I would say were the most useful, one would not necessarily be a feature, but their UI is very easy to use."
"The features that enable commission-based partner management and payment are the most valuable aspects of PartnerStack. This is undoubtedly the top priority. Additionally, their newly introduced discovery tool is impressive."
"Bottomline, I can do more with less."
 

Cons

"Crossbeam can be improved by establishing sharing settings for each specific partner, which could be more intuitive and easy to check."
"The issue is that you can only merge one of the tracking links, and that is the primary tracking link."
"While there have been significant advancements over the years, reporting remains an area where we constantly seek improvement in terms of both accuracy and comprehensiveness."
"PartnerStack is not the cheapest option available."
