Find out in this report how the two CRM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"I like that it's completely automated. It's a very robust system. You are not going to have faults in it."
"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."
"It integrates well with other Microsoft products, enhancing sales workflow."
"Dynamics 365 Sales has a sales feature that is easy to use. It is easy to understand and use."

"The solution is fast."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to include accurate and free online tutorials."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"Making it more budget-friendly would be beneficial."
"The pricing must be improved."
"I found it significantly complex and not user-friendly."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"However, having more dashboards and customizable templates, specifically tailored for sales in Dynamics 365, would enhance its usability even further. Being able to create custom dashboards would be particularly beneficial."
"There's room for improvement in the pricing models."
