Circle Community Platform vs. Impartner PRM

Circle offers all the main functionalities that are needed to build a Community from scratch. It is very easy to set up even for someone like me with ZERO technical skills. I really enjoy managing the Community on Circle as it is very intuitive and smooth and doesn't require a lot of time to learn of to work around it

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.

• Training was very difficult to set up and maintain
• They show you this awesome demo environment and then you realize once you purchase the tool how much it takes to get that. At least one web designer, help from marketing, and at least a few months of dedicated work
• The most expensive tool we looked at

It was the easiest to set up and it was suggested by a lot of people as the best one for my needs! I have zero previous experience about building a community so I tried to listen to suggestions of ppl with more experience than myself. So far it has been a good choice

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

• $500 a month, instead of needing several different platforms to do the things I need, Circle does most of them.
