    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.

    Pros
    PartnerStack, Inc
    • This is the best tool so far which helps me to manage the business relations, through this software I have got more power to control my various channels.
    • it is my everyday need to manage the tasks that are associated with my partners who own a particular platform like my Omni channels. It is handling everything in appropriate way.
    • Now I feel more confident in analyzing the on-boarding working of my partners and I am not at all worried about the payouts and compliance. This tool has helped me to better engage with them.

    Cons
    PartnerStack, Inc
    • They don't provide any html or iframe script which most of the similar websites provide which I can easily add into my website
    • They have very few programs into their network when compared to other similar networks. It would be great if they could add more programs into their network.
    • Wish it had a filter for the marketplace? There are programs which pays per lead where as some pays per sale. And some pays % and some pays $.
    • About a month ago my account was suspended and I contacted them about it and was told that due to some violations of their "Terms of Service", it was suspended. And I tried contacting them but after that email they just ignored my email. No reply after even 5 - 6 emails so I stopped emails also. Few days ago I received mail from them saying my account was mistakenly suspended in a effort to remove fraudulent activity from their network & now I have started working again with them. After I got access to my account again, all of the programs I had joined were removed from my account and now I have to apply to every program once again. It would be great if they could do something from their end and join me to all those programs from their end easily rather then me applying to everyone once again.

    • 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.

    We are definitely going to renew as we created and developed a very functional and complete solution that we won't want to lose. and the reason we achieved that is by continuously evolving and enhancing. That would not be possible without the qualified technical support we have at our disposal internally.

    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

    PartnerStack provides a faster interface and seems to be less confusing to use. In turn, this saves us time, especially if we just need to get a quick snapshot of the programs we're a part of and their overall health. Reporting is good for the metrics we need, but I would love more advanced reporting at some point and to see where we send the most traffic from - social, website, etc.

    Tune provides great on-boarding experience for new users, but the functionality of the product itself is limited. For example if you multiple partners worldwide who sell your product, 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

    Return on Investment
    PartnerStack, Inc
    • We have had the option to keep up with our snap rates and have brought in a lot of cash by this setup.
    • Accomplices like PartnerStack in view of the straightforwardness with which they can get their installments and the straightforwardness with which they can follow the progress of their references.
