"Channel Mechanics Admin UI Experience Review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Channelscaler?

One of the key benefits of Channel Mechanics PRM is its ease of reporting access. The platform offers detailed and customizable reporting tools that provide valuable insights into partner performance and program effectiveness. This capability is crucial for making informed decisions and optimizing partner engagement strategies.

Additionally, Channel Mechanics PRM excels in scalability, particularly through the seamless addition of new Opportunity Partner Groups (OPGs). This feature allows the program to expand effortlessly as our partner network grows, ensuring the platform can handle increasing demands and complexities without compromising performance.

Moreover, the enhanced weekly administrative meetings provided by Channel Mechanics PRM significantly streamline partner management. These meetings facilitate regular check-ins on ongoing tickets and processes, ensuring that goal-setting and milestones are consistently achieved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channelscaler?

The existing system has limitations that impact the accurate display of country-level discounts under each program. Specifically, the system struggles with the following issues:

Inaccurate Discount Application: Due to current system constraints, discounts may be incorrectly zeroed out or not displayed at all. This issue arises from inherent program-level limitations in how the system processes and applies discount information at the program level. But discounts may be applied differently at the country level.

Lack of Country-Level Visibility: The system's design does not support the detailed visibility required for country-specific discount displays. As a result, users may encounter scenarios where discounts are either not applied (zero discount) or not shown (see your distributor), leading to potential discrepancies in pricing and reporting.

These limitations highlight a need for system improvements to ensure that discounts are accurately reflected and displayed at the country level, thereby enhancing overall system reliability and user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the simplicity of the platform and the assistance we received from Ronan, our dedicated customer success manager, we implemented the first phase of our new partner program in less than two months, allowing partners to sign-up, register leads, and access content all from one location.

What do you dislike about Channelscaler?

The backend of it, that we manage is a bit 'aged'. It works well but is just not the most visually appealing. THe latest upgrade has worked well, and looks much better than before when it comes to the menu etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Platform for MDF, Rebates and Spiffs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Channelscaler?

It is highly customizable to fit your needs. The logistical capabilities of their platform are impressive as well. They also have excellent support to help address the problems you are trying to solve. I do also like the heavy integration capabilities the organization has. At the moment we have a SFDC connection with them. The portals and dashboards also sit within our partner portals very well embedded to where the partner does not realize they are using a separate tool within the partner portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channelscaler?

It does take a while to implement changes but this may be due to our highly customized use cases. Their support team could have a slightly faster response time as well. Also the tool could use a bit of an image Other than that, it really is a great experience working with them. I would still reccomend them despite these minor challenges.

"Fantastic product with even better customer support"
5/5
What do you like best about Channelscaler?

Our experience with Channel Mechanics has been overwhelmingly positive. We went through a fairly extensive RFP to select them and have been rewarded with a product that works well and with success reps who are incredible to work with. Our needs as a business are robust and technical, and CM has risen to the occassion on all counts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channelscaler?

Naturally this is a younger product and therefore lacks some complexities and sophistication. However, we have found that the team is committed to product improvement and growth, so even this is not much of a downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool and support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Channelscaler?

The tool is easy to use, most of the things I have to do there are intuitive. But for me the highest point is the customer support, the team responsible for Zendesk's support is super helpful, they answer fast and are always very patient even when they need to explain me something for the 3rd time. Also, integration with other tools is possible so it is a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Channelscaler?

I have been facing an error message when trying to log in as a partner user, that sometimes delays my work but nothing very impactful. There could also be a possibility of adding 2 approvers on the same level for a request (in case of PTOs and shared partner management). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
