We performed a comparison between Affinity and Microsoft Dynamics CRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two CRM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Affinity are the connection features it provides because you have a large database of startups. The people who worked in the companies and founded them are displayed in Affinity. It can show if they are using some special intelligence feature and that you may know this person, of your connections. For example, if they know the person. It works similar to the way LinkedIn does when you seek a connection. Additionally, Affinity shows how close this person is and how often they contact each other."
"I like that it's completely automated. It's a very robust system. You are not going to have faults in it."
"For me, the most valuable feature is the fact that they work with existing Adobe files. And open and edit PDFs and web-optimized exports. It's been very good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it is a low-code platform and we can perform business process management."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its performance."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM has to be its interface...Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a user-friendly platform."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting tab."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"Right now we're using the financial features, and we haven't tried the inventory. It's useful more on the financial side."
"It would be better if it were "pay-per-user" instead of "pay-per-account." For example, I'm Siddharth Mallya, and I have two email accounts. Each of those accounts is a separate payable account for me. For instance, I have created a network using my personal email ID, and now I have moved to my company email ID. It'll choose any one of those accounts, and that will become my paid account. For example, if I put in my personal email ID, then that's the account that I pay for. But I'm no longer using it, and it's not going to get updated. If I put in my work email ID, then that's an entirely separate account that I have to pay for."
"To get people to migrate, Affinity needs to somehow give them an incentive to change. The key is to make it as similar as possible. Shortcuts and keystrokes would be my biggest learning curve. So, to scale, you're going to have to convince people to relearn their workflow, and everybody's too busy to do that. Scalability is kind of mid because you face adoption resistance if you're pushing out to a studio or staff that are used to Adobe. Many products don't think beyond Microsoft and Adobe. If it's not Microsoft, then they don't understand. So, scalability is a challenge."
"Affinity could improve by adding more features. It has been a while since I have used it, but when I did, the features could improve."
"Better integration would be an improvement."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making the ports and dashboards more intuitive using Microsoft Azure analytical features. Compared to Salesforce and other partners, the dashboards in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are less intuitive."
"The options for customizing Microsoft Dynamics CRM are very limited or highly complex."
"Out of the box, the solution doesn't really have a desirable user experience. We have to set it up and customize it to meet our needs."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
"The solution should improve the user experience in the process of creating and activating offers."
