Open source, stable and capable of working with existing Adobe files
Affinity Photo needs to work more. They need to align as much as possible with the shortcuts and keystrokes of Adobe. It's just because when you learn a tool as a professional, you tend to learn all the shortcuts and keystrokes. And if they're not the same as the same type of products that you migrated from, you lose productivity because you forget how to do things. You don't know where things are on the menu. You don't know the icon for it because you just know it as, "Oh, if I press this key, I get that." You forget the user interface. You just remember the keystrokes and the shortcuts. So, if that could align as much as possible with what I'm used to from Adobe, that would be good. And there's another product I use called Pixelmator Pro. And as much as I wish Affinity Photos did everything that Photoshop did, I actually ended up using this other product, Pixelmator, more for image editing because I just find it faster and more in line with what I remember from Photoshop. So, they are good. They've designed a good product. It's just the shortcuts and keystrokes need to match what people are used to, especially coming from Adobe because, let's say, it didn't exist. Affinity is a newer product.

Has improved process coverage and integration while offering strong analytics and user experience
The analytics and reporting functionalities of Oracle CRM are good. I would rate them eight to nine out of ten, but it slightly falls behind Salesforce, which is much more advanced in terms of meeting the process and analytics part. The integration of Oracle CRM with other Oracle applications is seamless; that's not a problem at all. The biggest advantage of Oracle CRM for me is the process coverage, ease of use, the UI, and obviously a good amount of analytics; these are the few strengths and seamless integration with any platform. The multichannel service support has an impact on my customer service operations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We are using Affinity as a very robust contact list."
"The most valuable features of Affinity are the connection features it provides because you have a large database of startups."
"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 like that it's completely automated. It's a very robust system. You are not going to have faults in it."
"Currently it's meeting all our needs, hence the migration about six months ago that we moved from on-premise to OCI, to the cloud-based platform to add additional capacity and analytics."
"The reporting features are valuable."
"The wing-to-wing integration of applications is one of the most strong features of Oracle CRM."
"I see operational cost reductions after the implementation of Oracle CRM."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"Oracle CRM is very, very stable, one of the most stable products I've used in my career, and doesn't require much maintenance."
"During the demos, Oracle CRM's natural language search feature stood out to me. It departs from the traditional menu-based options, making searches more intuitive. Another significant feature is their Common Data Platform. Including an accounting package as part of the full platform was also appealing."
 

Cons

"It would be better if it were pay-per-user instead of pay-per-account."
"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."
"Affinity could improve by adding more features."
"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."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"My experience with Oracle when it comes to price negotiation was very bad."
"The licensing is expensive."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"The interface could be more user friendly. It is currently not intuitive, and it can be better."
"Customization is an area in the solution that takes too much time. So, it needs to be improved."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Affinity follows a pay-per-account model, and I think there will be a monthly or a yearly paid subscription. I have heard that it was expensive."
"Affinity is an expensive solution. However, they over a free version trial. The solution is expensive but the people that have used it say it is worth the money."
"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
