    Allbound is a sleek solution that neatly organizes data. Clearly presents useful instructional content. The slowness of the CRM connection is a problem. When it comes to reaching out to our worldwide network of channel partners, we turn on Allbound to streamline our communication and sales enablement efforts. Our reseller partners may use this central hub to register new deals, stay up to speed on product changes, and have access to all relevant product information.

    I have been using Folloze for a long time, and I will recommend Folloze because of the app's user-friendly interface and responsiveness to customer feedback. It also enhances security with SSO, two-factor authentication, and a personalization tool. Overall, there are more pros, and it increases productivity.

    Cons
    Channelscaler
    • 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.

    • Integrating the contact form with our CRM has been a lengthy and on-going process
    • We use iframe for some of our content pieces and I think it could look better than it does now
    • We need licenses for our salespeople for them to get access to insights of a board. An easier way to send them this info without them needing licenses would be nice

    Allbound is so easy to use as an administrator and provides human support and a resource for its customers to learn about the features and tools available. Our partners consistently provide feedback to us about how much they absolutely love our partner portal, which Allbound provides the structure and functionality to allow us to over amazing things to thousands of partner globally. Almost every person who provides feedback says some iteration of "this is the best partner portal i've ever used."

    Usability
    Channelscaler
    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!

    Its great to be able to customize and build experiences without having to depend web developers or larger content teams. Using Folloze doesn't require a web developer or complicated coding language. Its quite intuitive and easy to figure out after building an experience or two. If you are stuck their support and training materials are quite helpful, as is their support team. Although the tool is great, it would be great to see even more customization possibilities. Also the reporting interface is pretty cumbersome and would benefit from added functionality.

    Great support overall, which is quick to answer any concerns or questions. They're punctual and precise with their responses. I've been very pleased overall. I know if I have a concern or worry that I'll get a response the same day or the day after. Nothing negative comes to mind.

    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.

    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

    Folloze has proven to absolutely stand head and shoulders above its competitors. Folloze actually integrates nicely with 6Sense or Demandbase to pull data from a CRM. Folloze seemed to have a simpler interface, and that was key when it came to enabling our sales org to use Folloze alongside Marketing.
