Efficient solution and great partners **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2021 **What do you like best about Partnered?** Partnered elegantly drops into existing sales processes giving partner leaders/managers instant capabilities while making it dead simple bring sales reps into the workflow. The process for sales reps is simple to explain and reinforce because it keeps them in Slack with intuitive UI. For the partnering team you have a workable queue that prioritizes high value work and integrates with Salesforce to tie into existing attribution models and reporting. Their team is responsive, seeks a deep understanding of your needs, and makes it feel like a genuine partnership. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** Bringing some additional reporting into Partnered would be a great addition. I would also like to manage manual account lists natively within the platform versus importing updates. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** Partnered solves 1) Automated workflow to start, track, prioritize, and disposition all partnering activities, 2) Attribution modeling for decision-making and compensation, 3) Account mapping to highlight partnering opportunities. Our benefits are a huge efficiently lift to ditch the ad hoc spreadsheets. We also have a much more accurate window into our partnering activities and how/where they drive outcomes. ### 2. Simple & Intuitive Partner management tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** Very quick & easy to setup, and the workflows & reporting were very intuitive and easy to understand. My team was up & running in record time for a SaaS tool. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** Not that I dislike it, but it's a young product so the UI can use a little more polish **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** Management of all our partner relationships, which at first wasn't a very difficult task, but becomes close to insurmountable if you're a successful business that's scaling fast. This has created layers of efficiency when it comes to nurturing our key relationships and identifying areas of opportunity to expand further into strategic relationships. ### 3. Incredibly Useful Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** Partnered has helped us manage our sales partnerships in a way we couldn't have done before. They are quick to respond to any questions, and they've been helpful every step of the way. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** They're a new company just getting started building a feature-rich application, and I have no doubt they'll continue to make a valuable product going forward. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has helped us discover new leads and gain intros we wouldn't have otherwise gotten. ### 4. Best solution I’ve seen yet for a problem most B2B companies have (but probably don’t think about) **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex B. | Head of Product & Market Strategy at Branch, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** The product has clearly been designed and built by a team that understands all the stakeholders involved. Everything is thoughtfully and seamlessly integrated into existing workflows, in a way that makes it easy to use for EVERY party involved. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** The in-product reporting options are still a bit slim — fortunately the integration with Salesforce is robust and we’re able to build the reports we need there pretty easily. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** Partnered is giving us two things: 1. Operational management of a complex logistical problem: coordinating information sharing in a situation where there are typically 5+ parties involved (customer, front-line salespeople/customer success reps from each vendor, AND partner relationship reps from each vendor). 2. Real insight into the effectiveness of the above. ### 5. A game changer for business development teams. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** Managing partner intro requests from internal teams has never been easier. On top of that, all of our BD activities are now measurable giving our team and the organization visibility into the impact our partner activities are having on driving pipeline. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** Honestly I love it all. I am most looking forward to added functionality on the account mapping side of the platform. Once in place, Partnered will transform BD, Sales and partnership collaboration. **Recommendations to others considering Partnered:** Partnered is a great company to work with. They are early stage, growing fast and eager to build out the best offering possible for their customers. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** We now have a clean system for intake, management and measurement of partner collaboration requests from our AE and CSM orgs. In the past, side bar conversations, 1 to 1 messages and emails could get easily lost in the daily shuffle. Now every request, connection and outcome is documented in partnered and integrated into Salesforce. This enables us to track BD deal influence at a granular level. ### 6. Allows ease of collaboration between partnerships and GTM teams **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cat P. | Strategic Partner Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** I've had the pleasure of using Partnered at two separate companies now. It's allowed me as a partner manager to better manage my time, collaborate with sales and customer success better and ultimately move from being reaction-based to forward-thinking and strategic partner manager. It's the tool for partnerships organizations to minimize their time using vLookups on account mapping sheets, track asks from their sales team and ultimately attribute conversations into referred or influenced pipeline by your most strategic partners. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** So far I haven't run into any issues with the product. The Partnered team moves quickly to stand up features that are imperative to each of the companies' success. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before Partnered, there was virtually no relationship between partnerships and sales / customer success. Because of this, it made it really hard for partnerships to show value to the organizations. With Partnered, we've enabled our sales teams to effectively educate themselves and leverage the relationships we've created on the partnership side to better target their accounts. On top of it, it's allowed the partnerships team to attribute the conversations into pipeline generation or influenced closed-won deals. ### 7. A must-have for any ambitious team of professional sellers! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Noah K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** The accountability. Gone are the days where you send a request out into the ether and it falls between cracks. Not only does Partnered keep great track of all open requests, but the Slack integration makes keeping it up to date very seamless and clean. I can't imagine how I lived without it. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** I hope they add a few notification features, like digest emails (set interval, list of all open tasks), and @tagging in stream. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a salesperson, the ability to connect with trusted partners on key accounts shrinks my learning curve AT LEAST in half (likely more). I feel more confident going into meetings armed with proper data, and I get a good feel for expected pushback and hurdles before I even set the meeting. Absolute lifesaver. ### 8. The missing link between Sales and Business Development **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** As a seller, I am more aligned with Business Development than ever. Requesting information, or introductions to partners is seamless, with clear insight into status of the request. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** The platform has no current gaps, or issues **Recommendations to others considering Partnered:** Very nimble platform that can support product update, or integration requests. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** I rely on partners in complex sales cycles often, which requires me to lean on our Business Development team to facilitate introductions, or provide insights. Before partnered.io, these were one-off emails or direct messages that were often lost in the mix, and difficult to track internally. Now, submitting requests is seamless and I am kept informed on status. With this level of efficiency, I am more likely to leverage partners in deals, which has led to higher close rates that can be attributed back to Business Development. ### 9. Sales & BD collaboration like never before **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Felipe N. | Strategic Account Executive, Team Lead (West), Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** Partnered immediately aligned activities, incentives, and accountability between our Sales and BD teams. Our collaboration before and after implementing it was night & day. I am building and advancing my pipeline via strategic partnerships like never before, while also giving credit where credit is due—to BD! The Slack integration and the ability to "follow" requests make usability seamless across the entire org. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** So far it does everything I need it to do. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves as they gather feedback and work closely with more companies. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** We did not have a great process for collaboration between BD & Sales before Partnered—it was all very much ad-hoc and the activity tracking was cumbersome and time-consuming through Salesforce. Now I can keep track of the status of my ongoing conversations and requests with the BD team, and neither of us has to manually insert anything into Salesforce. Overall, it's been a game-changer for accountability and attribution. ### 10. Seamless cross-functional tool leads to new business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nikhil B. | A, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** As an Account Executive juggling multiple responsibilities, any tool I use needs to be easy, quick, and provide value. Partnered checks off all three categories. The tool makes it very easy to submit requests to my business development team efficiently without much leg work. Moreover, the integration with slack allows me to see updates in real time and update requests in seconds. Would recommend to any software organization looking to streamline communication between teams. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** No current gaps come to mind at this time. Look forward to seeing the tool grow and update. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** I often engage business development teams as partners help accelerate my complex sales cycles. Engaging other teams and resources in other offices through means like slack and email can be challenging and often times requests get lost/forgotten. Partnered allows me to keep track of requests in one place, review history and easily collaborate with my teammates. ### 11. Recommend to anyone in a BD or partnership function **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michelle L. | Director Business Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** Partnered.io was built with partnerships / BD managers in mind. It has increased the efficiency of the way we work with both our partners and our internal teams. It's super user friendly, which helps when onboarding AE's who are typically adverse to change. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** Nothing! Really looking forward to the upcoming reporting features and Slack enhancements. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're streamlining the way we work with internal AEs and providing more insight into the work we're doing together with partners. Partnered has also shaped the way our team is goaled, as it provides more granular and accurate insight into BD attribution and effort across the entire sales cycle. ### 12. Great experience for any SaaS leadership team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** As a Director, ensuring my team can easily submit requests to our partnership team for help from partners has been a HUGE value add. Our offering is a complex enterprise sale – both pre-sale & post-sale. Giving our team a seamless way to leverage other partners who have already worked with the client is invaluable. With Partnered.io, we’ve fast-tracked/gotten deals done that would been lost without the partners help. Our CSMs have also solved issues post-sales that could have caused serious problems on implementation but were avoided thanks to our sales team getting information in advance from partners. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** We really don’t dislike much about Partnered.io. Just know that, while it can act as lightweight PRM, it’s really not a traditional PRM. It’s more of a co-selling platform for getting your sales team to better utilize your existing partnerships to drive more revenue/faster deals/better implementations. **Recommendations to others considering Partnered:** We really enjoy working with the Partnered.io team. The product has been instrumental in helping our team make the most of our tech partnerships & agency partnerships. You also get the most accurate attribution reporting I’ve personally seen for partnerships (all sent straight into Salesforce & Bizible so we can get an accurate high-level view of sales attribution) **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Easy way for our sales team (including CSMs) to submit requests via Slack to our partnerships team. This alone has probably tripled our sales team using partners throughout sales cycles. - Attribution on all partnership interactions sent right into Salesforce/Bizible. Now we can account for the influence of partnerships alongside Salesforce/Marketo data. The data before was spotty at best – we now have real data for projections/planning. ### 13. The process and visibility every CS org needs! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Madeline B. | Director of Customer Success, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** Working for a product that integrates with so many partners, it's critical that we have an efficient way to track all our asks and communications with the BD team. Partnered not only allows us to manage all of these effectively, but as the Director of CS, it gives me the opportunity to monitor partnership attribution directly in Salesforce so we can see the impact partners are having on our renewals. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** I think this is already on the roadmap, but am looking forward to more functionality around account mapping. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** Understanding what activities and touch points are leading to a higher retention rate ### 14. Helps a Strategic Approach **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brandon N. | Sales Development Rep, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** The functionality and ease of use is fantastic. A great tool to help connect with partners and understand a stronger approach to business. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** Nothing. Super easy to use and love the updates as the request moves through the funnel. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** Partnered helps create visibility and stitch together fragmentation between companies that can bring a new and more holistic solve for prospects. ### 15. Makes a world of difference for our Sales teams **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Griffin C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** The integration with Slack makes it so easy to put in a request to our BD teams. Shortens and makes our requesting process far more efficient. Also appreciate the real-time updates so you know exactly where your requests stand and what the next steps are. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** No downsides thus far. Really enjoyed using the platform. **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our old request process was a little complex and did not give insight into where our internal teams were in the process of getting to your request. I've noticed my asks get turned around far more quickly. ### 16. Solves a critical gap for high performing sales and business development teams **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ian M. | Sr. Enterprise Account Executive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Partnered?** - Streamlines partnership management process. Slick integration with Salesforce and SLACK. **What do you dislike about Partnered?** - One feature request: being able to @mention or "tag" other salespeople, sales directors, and partnership managers in new/existing partner requests (Note: the product team at Partnered.io has told me this is coming very very soon) **What problems is Partnered solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Empowers salespeople to unlock high-value business development relationships - Provides both business development and sellers with real-time updates on the status of relationships, action items, the status of request etc... ## Partnered Discussions - [What are software partners?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-are-software-partners) - 1 comment - [View Partnered pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/partnered/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-25+00%3A14%3A11+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=492913bc-ce28-4f49-89e4-ed039d339573&secure%5Btoken%5D=0a70f20f4a237e966e583e41bb6f322f7f827f946645c1f9eb1e06387ba03e64&format=llm_user) ## Partnered Features **Data Availability** - Contact Data Availability - Company Data Availability - Technographic Data Availability **Control** - Role-Based Permissions - Opportunity Management - Recognized Escalation **Account Mapping** - Common overlaps - Mapping Segmentation - Account Mapping Playbook **Data Accuracy** - Contact Data Accuracy - Company Data Accuracy - Technographic Data Accuracy **Partner Discovery** - Competitive Discovery - Social media discovery - Content-Based Discovery **Partner Collaboration** - Brand Messaging - Offer Management - Catalog Management **Agentic AI - Sales Intelligence** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Platform - Partner Relationship Management (PRM)** - Individual Portals - Content Repository - Revenue Tracking - Cross-System Integration - Workflow Automation & Notifications - Onboarding, Training & Certifications - Payouts & Global Compliance - Partner Discovery & Recruitment - Incentive Management - Recognized Escalation - Dashboards & Reporting - Marketing Tools - Deal Management **Platform** - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance and Reliability - APIs **Analytics** - Conversion Tracking - Customer value tracking - ROI Measurement **Agentic AI - Partner Relationship Management (PRM)** - Adaptive Learning - Autonomous Task Execution - Proactive Assistance - Natural Language Interaction **Integrations** - Data warehouse Integration - CRM Integration - Account-Based Marketing Software Integration **Features** - Lead Builder - Integration to CRM/Marketing Automation - Data Segmentation/Filtering - Reporting ## Top Partnered Alternatives - [PartnerStack](https://www.g2.com/products/partnerstack/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (904 reviews) - [ZINFI Unified Partner Management (UPM)](https://www.g2.com/products/zinfi-unified-partner-management-upm/reviews) - 4.9/5.0 (694 reviews) - [impact.com](https://www.g2.com/products/impact-com/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (2,183 reviews)
