Read full review Salesforce Partner Management is a great tool for scenarios where a partner portal needs to be created in a quick and cost-efficient manner by teams that do not necessarily have a broad technical knowledge and when the time to market is key. In the situations where the use case is more advanced and cannot be covered by the out-of-the-box functionalities of SPM, then the tool is less effective.

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 One thing is, you have to put the time you took on the case if you edited it. I would like to change the name or a note and not have to go back and put how long it took. Reports can sometimes be hard to create.

That would not be possible without the qualified technical support we have at our disposal internally.
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 Salesforce Partner Management is complete and has great usability. Just as a
Salesforce full CRM does. However, when you have to deploy the initial implementation and/or create the infrastructure for your
Salesforce Partner Management it might require, as expected, a very good support and development team and resources

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

Salesforce CRM integration is a must to achieve business goals.
Salesforce ecosystems helps to avoid having multiple tools and licenses. One big differentiator is that
Salesforce Partner Managements allows for personalization that is user-friendly, while with Tune user is expected to do some coding
