What do you like best about Awin?

I've been using the Awin affiliate program, and I absolutely love it! Its user-friendly interface makes managing partnerships incredibly easy, even for someone new to affiliate marketing. The wide variety of brands available ensures there’s always something relevant for my niche. I also appreciate the detailed analytics and reporting tools, which help track performance and optimize campaigns effectively. Payments are timely, and their customer support is super responsive, making the entire experience smooth. Awin has truly made affiliate marketing a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

While I appreciate many aspects of the Awin affiliate program, one area that could use improvement is the interface. It feels quite outdated and not as intuitive as it could be, especially compared to other modern platforms. Navigating through certain features can be clunky, which occasionally slows down productivity. A fresh, streamlined design would make the experience so much better and more user-friendly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Awin solves key affiliate marketing challenges by centralizing partnerships, providing access to a wide network of advertisers, and offering detailed analytics for performance tracking. Its reliable payments and streamlined platform save me time and help optimize campaigns, making affiliate marketing more efficient and profitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Carina Aiordachioae of Awin

What do you like best about Awin?

I find Awin is generally pretty easy to use, so even if you are new to the network, it doesn't take a long time to figure out. Another aspect I love about it, is the ability to schedule commission increases/decreases over time. Some other affiliate networks don't allow you to schedule multiple CPA changes for one publisher and you have to wait until the first scheduled change is in effect, before you can schedule the next one. The fact that I can do this on Awin makes things much easier, especially during holiday breaks when I am not online to make adjustments. I am also able to make last minute changes to commission rates without needed much lead time. Lastly, in my experience, their customer support is pretty quick. I needed to have an adjustment made to a client name and they made the fix within several minutes of me making the request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

I would say my main flaw with Awin is it does seem to time-out relatively quick if I am not actively using it, so I do have to sign back often. I do use it several times a day, but I may work on something else for a little, and when I come back, it will be signed out. With that being said, it doesn't take very long to login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

While managing my client, many situations can arise that require me to use Awin. If I am working with a publisher and need to offer them a commission increase fast, Awin allows me to push them new terms on the same day, which is not always the case. This is especially helpful if there is a misunderstanding and I have added them to the wrong commission group. Like I mentioned before, another huge problem that Awin solves is if I secure a placement package that has several different CPA terms back to back, it is very easy to go into the network once and schedule all of the changes and know that they will go into effect on time. For example, over the Thanksgiving Holiday, publishers offer several different CPA rates for Cash back events that change daily with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Thanks to the Awin commission scheduler, I can set up all of the changes before going out of office and do not have to worry about making adjustments over the break. Lastly, Awin makes it easy to track program and publisher performance so that I can see how my client is performing and can make more informed decisions on what optimizations I want to do moving forward.

What do you like best about Awin?

When taking over the management of the AWIN account, I found it very user friendly and easy to make the changes I needed to transfer access to myself. I also found it easy to navigate around the features where I found the product feed was out of date and not set up dynamically. I like that this platform allows the use of a product feed and I was able to easily match all of the required fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

As an advertiser on a self service account, access to customer support is limited. I also would like more control over the "my creative" area. I'd like to be able to delete creative and it would be helpful if it was managed dynamically so if we deleted it, it would be removed from the entire publisher network. Currently there is no way to stop publishers who have already used it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

The issues that we are trying to solve is increase sales and this is a channel which helps us achieve that. It's imperitive that we can attribute sales to the right channel so we know what's working and the affiliate tracking enables us to do that so we know exactly what business comes from AWIN.

What do you like best about Awin?

Awin is excellent in connecting a business to different affiliate partners internationally, across multiple disciplines. It streamlines the time and manual effort of undercovering suitable affiliate partners manually.

Also fairly easy to set up commission structures and creative comms/assets.

The cost is a low barrier to entry, especially for a start-up that's financially conscience.

Easy to integrate with Shopify and pull in our XML feed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

The UX/UI can feel clunky at times, making it difficult to seamlessly navigate the platform.

There are some basic functional tasks that should be editable/available but are not - for example, to set up email notifications, Awin recommends reaching out to a support assistant. I would expect this'd be available under my account settings.

Additionally, although our business is registered as UK and US only - we often have publishers/affiliates reaching out from EU countries which aren't relevant to us. Feels like the filtering isn't quite right.

This final note is more a reflection on the affiliates themselves, but many use titles and names that aren't very clear. It often takes additional effort to decipher who the affiliate is and whether they're relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Awin allows us to connect (at scale) with multiple affiliate partners, we otherwise wouldn't have identified manually.

It streamlines our small teams time, which is monumental for a small business.

As a high AOV item, we haven't had a significant number of sales yet - but can see Awin forming the basis of our omnichannel approach to guide users through different phases of the consumer funnel (particularly top of funnel research). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

There's very little to dislike about AWIN, but if I had to point out one thing, it would be that the support team is not always there to help promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWIN really takes the hassle out of affiliate marketing. It solves the problem of hunting for trustworthy partners and managing all the details. With its easy tracking and smooth transactions, it’s been a game-changer for our brand, allowing us to focus more on growing the business without worrying about the nitty-gritty.

What do you like best about Awin?

What I love most about using Awin's affiliate network is how user-friendly the entire platform is. The interface makes it a breeze to navigate, and I especially appreciate the top publisher comparison report, which provides valuable insights into performance and helps us identify opportunities for growth. Validating transactions is also incredibly straightforward, saving us time and hassle. Overall, Awin’s tools make managing our affiliate partnerships much easier and more effective, allowing us to focus on driving results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

While I appreciate many aspects of Awin's platform, I find the Commission Manager tool could use some improvement. It can be cumbersome to navigate when it comes to messaging affiliates directly after changing their rates, which makes communication less efficient. Additionally, having a report that clearly breaks down new versus existing customer sales across publishers would be incredibly useful. This kind of insight would allow us to better understand performance dynamics and tailor our strategies more effectively. Overall, streamlining these features would enhance the user experience and improve our ability to manage affiliate relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Awin is solving several key problems for us as an agency, particularly in managing our advertisers effectively. One of the main challenges we face is tracking performance across multiple campaigns and partners, and Awin’s robust analytics tools provide clear insights into each advertiser’s performance. This allows us to optimize campaigns in real time and make data-driven decisions. Additionally, Awin simplifies the onboarding process for new advertisers, making it easy to set up and manage relationships without getting bogged down in administrative tasks. Their user-friendly interface streamlines communication and collaboration, helping us maintain strong partnerships. Overall, Awin saves us time and effort, allowing us to focus on strategy and driving results for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Awin?

I love Awin for their reporting dashboard and use it on a daily basis. It's very concise and easy to use when you're looking at the data. I can see all the KPIs that I find useful to determine how to improve my program. We switched from CJ to Awin and I think it was the best move we made since the fees are lower and easy set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

I would like to see more support for advertisers. Our rep doesn't reach out enough to see how we can improve our program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

The fact that your affiliate network is probably one of the largest, we can expect to onboard affiliates so effortlessly. I also think that you have more affiliates around the world so its very diverse. We don't just get affiliates within the US but also a lot from Europe which can help us go worldwide.

What do you like best about Awin?

I like how versatile Awin is and since I use it daily I'm happy with all the data and information you can pull from there. You can easily send out newsletters, upload creatives, and offers which is a big plus. You can easily pull up reports and it doesn't take long to load. Customer support gets back to you quickly too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

Sometimes Awin errors a lot. It also tends to logs you out way too often which is frustrating because if I'm doing something like a newsletter and have to go get and edit a creative and it takes a few minutes it'll log you out which then forces you to lose your progress. I wish there was a way to autosave newsletters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are no problems to solve but Awin is best for finding new publishers and expanding brands' affiliate programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Awin?

It's the widest used affiliate partnerships programme which makes it easy for small businesses to find influencers and creators of all sizes for their programmes. Easy to implement for a small business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Awin?

The user interface can be a bit difficult to get used to but once you do it's straightforward enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Awin solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to attract influencers to promote small business products as an agency. It gives the business more credibility and influencers are more likely to agree to work with our clients as they are not yet well established, unlike AWIN which is very well known.
