Read full review Chili Piper is GREAT for sales development teams booking for sales people. This is especially true when there is a "round robin" system that needs to be abided by. I've experienced a lot of bad round robin systems and Chili Piper's is fantastic. This is also a great tool to schedule with people across multiple time zones, which I don't want to have to focus on while speaking. It enables sales reps to focus on the prospect, not the time change. Chili piper would not be a good fit for underperforming sales teams that don't book any meetings (:
Read full review Pros Content Management including sales & marketing resources, calendar items, distributor and partner communications, and news for partners Deal registration and MDF management--providing an easy to use system for partners and Cambum administrators to enter and review requests. Increasing partner engagement--providing an easy way to update the portal frequently keeps our partners coming back to see the latest and greatest resources and benefits Read full review Chili Piper integrates with Salesforce very well which I haven't seen other calendar apps do yet. Meeting Buffer functionality assures that AEs won't be booked back-to back. I can send the link to each of my meeting templates for different prospects Read full review Cons The fact that you can't make payouts to partners within the platform itself is super frustrating and that would be a huge improvement. The ability to track clicks, page views, etc is not available like on other partner platforms like Tune, Impact, and Cake. It would be awesome to see that tracking data for the content being shared. Having more integrations with platforms like Zuora which we use for payments would be great. Read full review They are continually improving their offering and we've seen great leaps over the past 2 years. Would be nice to be able to modify the email reminders for every single contact and event versus have set templates Faster load times, but we can’t complain too much!

Read full review Usability It is by far the easiest system to administrator that I have either had experience doing or demoed from other vendors. No coding skills needed. Simple interfaces for everything. And the Allbound University and live support are great!
Read full review Support Rating Allbound has a support team that is easy to contact right through the PRM interface. Additionally, we have a dedicated account manager and development team who are super responsive and helpful. Allbound has a ticketing system for support as well, which keeps you up to date on status of your support requests.
Read full review Support was very responsive during our integration phase, and after that too. They have the whole infrastructure built to notify customers about bug/outages, which is excellent. Entire System outage only happened once, but being updated on fix progress helped a lot to keep our team calm. Read full review Implementation Rating Regular meetings, lots of UAT, quick responses, and adherence to our timeline made implementation a breeze -- even though we had some really complex processes we needed to support.
Read full review Alternatives Considered They are different in the sense that Allbound allows you to loop in different parners to a degree that HubSpot doesn't outside smaller extensions and portals. More visbility into interactions with HubSpot, but it's truly built for marketing vs a sales forward/partnership management tool.Extensions from Allbound into Google could be helpful
Read full review Calendly was being used at the company by some other departments and still is to some extent. However adding Chili Piper fore the marketing and sales departments was a no brainer once we saw the demo. It's
Calendly on steroids and the company is just getting started using it. I'm sure we will see even more benefits as the years go on.

Read full review Return on Investment The sharing of knowledge has a positive effect on the partners who benefit from it. Our smaller partners are now able to conduct their own campaigns with the help of our Campaigns in a Box, freeing us to concentrate on our larger clients. Our latest products can all be better explained with the aid of our learning tracks. Read full review More demos held by simplifying the scheduling process. More demos = more opportunities Initial set up was frustrating and created a lot of mix up which allowed some leads to slip through the cracks early Integration with Salesforce.com saved our reps time because they didn't have to log activities manually Read full review ScreenShots
