Importance
Critical for me to do my job
What exceeded expectations
For a long time GRIN was fantastic. It's the tool I built our influencer program on, from a handful of creators to a full program. Their email integration is still the best on the market for influencer outreach. No other influencer platform offers email sequencing like theirs, and the only tools on par are sales engagement platforms that aren't built for influencers. Their customer success team also taught me most of what I know about influencer marketing.
What was disappointing
There was no way to pay creators based on impressions, so I had to build my own calculator for that. Over time the platform kept getting buggier, the reporting stopped being reliable and new features shipped slowly and felt under tested. Basic asks like archiving old campaigns took a long time to show up. Then they started laying people off, including the two people who taught me everything about influencer marketing, and after that customer feedback didn't seem to shape the roadmap anymore. If I could fix one thing, it would be release quality: ship fewer new features and make the existing ones work. That is a big part of why we moved to a different platform.

What exceeded expectations
It works very well for managing and tracking partnerships. Our entire affiliate program is built through it which is great but is limited by size at times.
What was disappointing
They nickel and dime you all over the place. It's very expensive and feels like we've been on it too long to switch to a new provider.
