Slava Parshin - PeerSpot reviewer
Straightforward to set up, and stable, but requires more granular control over permissions
We encountered an issue where we had different processes for working with partners based on region. For example, Europe and the United States had different processes, and Channeltivity had technical limitations that prevented us from having separate processes for each region. Therefore, we had to unify the processes across regions in order to implement them in Channeltivity. This was one of the main issues we faced. I believe that granting more granular control over permissions within the system would help to prevent the issue we encountered. Specifically, who should be able to view what within the system should be determined by field-level permissions, such as profile permissions. This is an area where I would like to see improvement.
Cory Snyder - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to onboard and implement, with good communication and automation features
There are 2 main areas of opportunity for PartnerStack to improve on their platform. 1. You can only merge the default tracking link into an email. As someone who is trying to engage my affiliates and or referral partners on a monthly send, if I want them driving to a different location every month, I have to manually go in and change that link, and then notify my partners via email. As opposed to having 20 links and being able to choose which one to merge into an email. It's a strategy play. If Marketing has a specific blogpost we want to drive traffic too, I have to go in and change the default link vs creating a new link, merging it into an email and sending an email to all my partners with their monthly link to share. The second piece of functionality is that they can do a lot of creative things when it comes to progression paths, managing payouts, and other such things but can't do progression paths similar to airline miles. Earn it this year and you've earned it the next year even without anymore sales, referred leads and so on. In the sense that if I earn platinum status as a partner in 2021, I keep that status in 2022 even if I don't sell or refer anymore in 2022. But in 2023 I would move to the correct tier based on my progression path efforts in 2022. That's how I prefer to do it. They don't have the capability to automate that process right now. I have to manage that piece manually, which isn't too difficult. Those are the two main areas where I believe there is room for growth. PartnerStack also includes an LMS but it's not the easier to use that is for sure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are the all-in-one package solution and it was relatively straightforward to connect to Salesforce, our CRM solution."
"This solution is very easy to use and does not take more than five minutes of playing around before you get a good understanding of how it works."
"The features that enable commission-based partner management and payment are the most valuable aspects of PartnerStack. This is undoubtedly the top priority. Additionally, their newly introduced discovery tool is impressive."
"There are three main areas that I would say were the most useful, one would not necessarily be a feature, but their UI is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"I believe that granting more granular control over permissions within the system would help to prevent the issue we encountered."
"Channeltivity are a small company and so we waited a long time for basic improvements."
"The issue is that you can only merge one of the tracking links, and that is the primary tracking link."
"While there have been significant advancements over the years, reporting remains an area where we constantly seek improvement in terms of both accuracy and comprehensiveness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is slightly above average."
"The previous company paid approximately $35,000 USD per year."
"The pricing of the solution is fair. It's not the cheapest, and it's not the most expensive."
