Find out in this report how the two CRM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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 love being able to "check off" a task by changing its status to "done." It also disappears off the list when you complete it."
"The features that I have found most valuable include the dashboards, forms, and item and task tracking."
"I like planning out steps within an item with dates."
"The subitems make it crystal clear what tasks are done, in progress, or complete."
"Monday.com sends email notifications to keep us all on task. I love the email reminders asking me where I am with the assigned task and if I need some help. I have used this to get things done on time, and it also encourages me to acknowledge when I need some help because I have not been able to complete the task."
"The features I found most valuable are the Kanban boards."
"It's probably one of the most user-friendly platforms I've ever used."
"The automation is great."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe they could improve a bit more on how to connect with other apps - especially for CRMs like Hubspot."
"The solution needs easier automation."
"They need to improve the user interface of the automation/integrations."
"The product could have more templates."
"We'd love the ability to be able to build and export reports based on multiple boards."
"Speed and reliability need to be better."
"Perhaps a nice Outlook plugin to copy tasks from Outlook would be beneficial. The same could work on Gmail."
"The permission settings require workarounds for some use cases."
