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.

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

"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."
"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

"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."
"The issue is that you can only merge one of the tracking links, and that is the primary tracking link."
"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."
"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

"The pricing of the solution is fair. It's not the cheapest, and it's not the most expensive."
"The previous company paid approximately $35,000 USD per year."
