Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

"Sage CRM is flexible, customizable, and user-friendly.""We have found the solution to be stable.""The part I like the most is the reporting.""The solution's technical support is fast to respond.""The most useful aspect of Sage CRM is the capability to keep track of each staff member's communication and bill processing activities. The ability to track both customers and employees is a useful tool.""It has been helpful for opportunity management and lease management.""The Sage Accpac solution has definitely been the most valuable because the finance features are excellent."

Cons
"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.""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."

"I would like Sage to improve their UI.""Sage CRM doesn't have a dashboard for dynamic reporting.""From an improvement perspective, the ability to make modifications to the product needs to be more user-friendly.""Sage CRM would benefit from improving its interaction with email communication sites and social media platforms in order to gather more leads.""With regards to monitoring the transaction with alerts, it could be better.""Its user interface could be better.""The scalability of this solution depends on whether you have a team that can configure it for scale."
