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.

Have faced persistent configuration issues and performance delays that slow down large workflows
From a developer's perspective, it could be more open for programming language configurations. It is currently restricted to Groovy scripting. While UI and UX designs are open to JavaScript configurations, there are restrictions on certain functions that can be used. The solution could be enhanced to better serve customers when dealing with complex programs. The customer's websites face issues with loading properly, and response time gets longer when implementing larger workflows. This could be improved to achieve lower response times even with larger workflows involving multiple system integrations and complex architecture. The agent decay capabilities need improvement in future releases. Currently, there are some agent decay configurations available for developers to implement, but this area needs enhancement. Performance issues exist in the Sandbox area. The Sandbox is a trial area for configurations, but if work continues for a long time without publishing, it tends to get corrupted, requiring deletion and rework from the ground up. This has caused significant rework and effort multiple times. Technical support can be challenging to work with. When facing product-related issues or configuration problems, the support experience varies. Sometimes the technical support is knowledgeable and helpful, but often they redirect problems elsewhere and cause delays in resolution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"We are using Affinity as a very robust contact list."
"It supports various APIs and connectors, enabling seamless communication with other systems, including both Oracle products and third-party applications."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"Oracle RightNow is the only solution in the market that offers a true omni-channel experience and a native joined-up approach between service, sales, marketing."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"This is an excellent product; the development team at Oracle is constantly creating new better versions, and this product is an excellent application for customer service - dynamic knowledge management, ticket management, robust analytics and can be administered by a business analyst!!"
"Everything is managed by Oracle, so they have security in place."
"The solution is stable and scalable with good technical support."
"Stable and scalable with good technical support."
 

Cons

"Affinity could improve by adding more features."
"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."
"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."
"Some features that require improvement include the location functionality and certain aspects of the CRM."
"Oracle Fusion Service has many challenges, as it's not easy in customization and for adding features; there's no access for the database directly."
"I think it is really good as it is but the chat routing could use some improvements."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"Their mobile application for this product could be made more attractive as it currently has little functionalities."
"Customer service is fair."
"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."
"There are some aspects which have been requested for years but are slow to take into the development path (or are included in an "Advanced" version of the system)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"The product has average pricing."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
