GrowSurf vs. Impartner PRM vs. Tapfiliate

For where our company is at, GrowSurf fit nicely into what we needed and wanted to spend. It allows us to have enough campaigns (currently) to support the needs of our company. Managing the system for payout has not been as easy as anticipated.

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

• Trial policy, they force you to put your credit card in order to check their features.
• Customer support, they don't explain deeply their features, they force you to check their demo.
• Notifications, as they don't notify you before they charge you.

Setting up GrowSurf was a breeze! The user-friendly interface made it easy for our team to customize our referral page and integrate it seamlessly into our website

We needed their help previously to take the decision to buy or not, but they didn't explain deeply the features and if they meet our needs or not. Instead of this, they forced us to create the account, and put our credit card in order to check the Demo. So their help was really nonexistent.

We selected GrowSurf because of their pricing and ROI calculator present on their website today. It made the decision clear and easy for our finance and business stakeholders. Overall, the tool is great. It is easy to use, manage and train others on. It's a great starting point for someone new to digital marketing and it's a great arrow in the quiver for our most seasoned team members.

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
