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.""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."

"Zoho CRM handles the entire customer relationship management, from lead generation to workflows, reports, and lead qualification.""What I like best about Zoho CRM is the web form feature. I find Zoho CRM forms excellent.""CRM software that's simple to use, with good technical support, scalability, and stability.""There are many features that capture customer data.""The whole forecasting and pipeline management is very good.""The camera feature is valuable because it provides a look and feel.""Highly configurable, enabling graphically built workflows, and the writing of customized scripts if required.""The most valuable features are the lead, opportunity and task management as well as dashboard creation, reporting, contact management and campaigns."

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."

"The MCR capabilities have some limitations.""The chatbot feature is not very intelligent and lacks AI capabilities.""It would be useful to have some way of mapping organizations that could add more value. If I have X company's database and am trying to create multiple contexts for different entities of the same company, I should be able to map it in such a way that I can see the organization chart.""We'd like the solution to be less expensive.""There was a challenge while deploying Zoho when we brought an API code. Because integrations "aren't perfect" for every organization.""It is hard to modify information around a customer. You need to pay for the features and the tool needs to improve it.""The only thing I noticed was that it does not support multi-country operations. In Canada, for example, we do not use the term "state," but rather "province," and we do not use zip codes, but rather "postal codes."""I'm not sure that there is scalability potential for enterprises."
