Likelihood to Recommend
Impact is well-suited for those trying to upgrade their affiliate program and get more partners. It's one of the best solutions out there for advertisers looking to make a huge push. It's less appropriate for very small businesses that may not be able to afford the high monthly minimum of $1,000 or more.

  • 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
  • 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

  • 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.

Usability
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.

Usability is the best part about PartnerStack. It's simply great!

Support Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
Everflow had ok tracking but didn't have a great payment process and their marketplace was geared towards larger marketing conglomerates that we would have had to sign other contracts with. CJ is very comparable in terms of features their marketplace is bigger but the quality isn't always as high. The impact has the best tracking and SEM policy monitoring of the bunch.

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.
