We performed a comparison between Affinity and Microsoft Dynamics CRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two CRM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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 solution is versatile and customizable."
"It integrates well with other Microsoft products."
"Our clients appreciate that the solution can be used to monitor everything their customer interacts with in their business."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the integration with Microsoft Office 365."
"It ensures that there's continuity, and you don't have to start asking the customer about what happened. From CRM, you can easily see all the interactions and events in the record and take it from there."
"This is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it is a low-code platform and we can perform business process management."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making the ports and dashboards more intuitive using Microsoft Azure analytical features. Compared to Salesforce and other partners, the dashboards in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are less intuitive."
"The overall price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."
"The solution's interface has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making it easier to export data to SharePoint because most of our customers use SharePoint. They have to log into a Microsoft environment platform from their SharePoint for access should be made easier. Additionally, if the customer portal was enhanced for it to be customized it would be a benefit."
"A built-in automation engine to automate parts of workflows would be beneficial. That's the feature I'd be most happy to see expanded. It's currently tagged as simple automation, but I'd love some predictive capability."
"This is a good tool, but if you don't have experience using a CRM solution, there are a lot of things you'll need to learn. This tool needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
