Channel Mechanics vs. Impartner PRM

Easy to set up and configure. User understandable if the business needs defined accurately. Good Control on Data Visualization and Vendor & Partner control

Incentivized

I have worked with many other PRM platforms. ImpartnerPRM is in the middle of the pack. There is still a lot of opportunity for making the platform more intuitive and automating some of the processes. However, it is better than some of the others that I have used in terms of there being better continuity between the PRM and marketing functions.

Salesforce was too expensive for us at the time and required too much customization and internal strain at the time. We ended up choosing Salesforce over Impartner later on once our channel business was more established and we had more resources internally. Impartner was more simple and easy to deploy than Salesforce, which is why we chose it when we had fewer resources

Incentivized

• Increased the business Transparency by data visualization dash boards and charts
• Better business decision and process optimization based on actual data reports
• Easy to go changes (minor levels) and Easy to use for new users

Incentivized
