    For our business, affiliate marketing is by far the lowest ROI marketing channel. If you're looking to get products, brands, and offers listed on coupon sites, Pepperjam Ascend is a great tool. If you're looking to engage with influencers or drive sales without giving away margin, Pepperjam Ascend is likely not for you.

    Cons
    Partnerize
    • The reporting interface for publishers could be improved to be more user friendly.
    • Contract term special conditions are difficult to find and sometimes not available so this area could be improved.

    • The dashboard/platform is the furthest thing from user-friendly. It looks like a high school student with zero experience designed it in excel and hoped for the best with the results.
    • Reports are hit and miss. They may load, they may not! It's ridiculous, in my opinion.
    • No mobile options whatsoever, everything has to be desktop. It's 2022, they need to catch up!

    Usability
    Partnerize
    My business is able to extract what we need from Partnerize to access and analyse performance data. Once you know what you're doing and where everything is, it's great. There is always room for improvement as the industry evolves and more metrics become available though

    Awin is a far friendlier and easier to use interface, though Partnerize offers a different variety of merchants

    Pepperjam Ascend's user interface is way behind these other platforms. It's not intuitive nor is it easy to create custom reports and engage with your publishers. We have been stuck with Pepperjam and many other affiliate networks have a very similar layout without much upside.

    • I was hitting anywhere from $130 - $450 per month in commission payout before Pepperjam Ascend. Now with Pepperjam Ascend, I maybe get $40! I am still waiting on payouts from January.
