    Any publisher looking to monetize their blogs would be a great fit. The size of the publisher probably doesn't matter. They have a wide selection of advertisers and publishers can sign up for free. Advertisers that are looking for great partners for their affiliate programs would be good fits. One of the benefits is that Impact really focuses on recruiting high-quality publishers.

    Impact
    • User interface could be improved a little, as it is a quite difficult task to find the content or links
    • Approval from the advertisers sometimes takes a huge amount of time. If they can somehow reduce the response time, it will be great
    • New affiliates might find the onboarding process a little difficult

    Impact has had a major impact on our business. It is pretty easy to use if you don't have multiple accounts with them, so be sure you keep things streamlined. Otherwise, it can be confusing if you have to bounce between different accounts you've applied to. While they are managed under a single login, they can be difficult to distinguish between when trying to see how successful your campaigns are.

    We've been reaching out requesting support for two months and no one has responded. They completely ghosted us. We've emailed the original sales rep, our account manager, our sales rep and account manager's bosses, and others. Still no response, though I can see the emails have been opened multiple times. I've never experienced worse support.

    First promoter has been a phenomenal affiliate platform to use. It has everything I need from a reporting perspective. It has everything I need from a payout perspective. It has all the links, tips, and tools I need for promoting products. Overall it is a far better tool to use

    Channelyze.io Screenshots

    Screenshot of Manage leads across the channel:
Managing leads across three tiers has always been challenging, Until now! Channelyze makes it easy for any partner or distributor to capture, track, register and close leads. A chat feature for each lead helps improve the communication across the channel and increases the chances of closing the lead.Screenshot of Intelligent deal registration:
Providing partners with a way to protect their deals from being closed by other partners is an important yet challenging process for many vendors. It often requires the vendor to have manual oversight of the sales activities taking place and can be prone to error.

With Channelyze, vendors can define the exact criteria that partners must meet in order to benefit from deal protection and those eligible partners can register to protect their deals with a single click. Channelyze uses a fuzzy matching process to alert the vendor when a partner tries to register a deal that has already been registered by another partner and lets the vendor reject the new registration request.Screenshot of Reporting and analytics:
Create the reports you need to see how your channel is performing. Catered dashboards for each user give a visual representation on reach, frequency, and yield so they know where to focus their efforts. With Channelyze, vendors, distributors and resellers get a complete view of how individual product families are performing, how partners are performing and how certain geographies are looking. You have a powerful view on the state of retention, revenues, churn, win rate and pipelines.Screenshot of Price lists:
Pricing deals should be easy for your partners and with Channelyze it is. By entering your localised price lists into Channelyze, partners can price their deals simply by selecting the products and quantities they need to fulfil the deal. Channelyze does the rest. It calculates the list price, the partner margin, incorporating any vendor-specified discounts and shows the corresponding billing schedule.Screenshot of Assets:
Provide partners with sales brochures, one pagers, sales presentations and any other assets that will help partners sell. Assets can be targeted at specific regions and partner types and can be co-branded with the partners logo.

Assets may also be published externally, with performance metrics and lead conversion ratios available in a simple dashboard.Screenshot of Renewals:
It is a well-known fact that renewals are difficult to manage, especially when working with channel partners. The traditional CRM and PRM systems are not built for this purpose. Channelyze keeps track of every deal that has been conducted through the channel and makes the information easily available to renewal teams at the vendor, distributor, and reseller for when it is time to renew.
