I first started to use Affinity related tools with Serif in 2004. When these tools became available, I started using them, and much to my surprise of the people that use Affinityit is now universally accepted. More people will use this in the future due to the total cost and value it brings.

Persana AI
We find Persana AI effective for outreach. One of the benefits is the speed with which we can now launch campaigns. Earlier, preparing prospect lists, enriching data, and gathering context used to take time. With Persana AI, this process has become faster for sure. Building the audience campaigns have also became quite easier for us. The tool isn’t really built for ROI calculation, and that’s something we’ve noticed in our usage.

  • Some niche industries and regional markets are not covered.
  • UI could be more better. We find a bit difficult in filtering large datasets.
  • AI generated suggestions can be better. We find them quite generic. They can be more engaging and energetic.

Usability
Serif Europe
Coming from Photoshop and Illustrator, the transition was pretty smooth and most tasks translates well. There was a bit of a learning curve with certain tasks, like masking images, but nothing too steep. The align tools are excellent and the use of personas (especially the Export persona) adds a lot of functionality when exporting slices or working with different formats. The interface is user friendly with frequently used tools easily available

Some features, like filtering and finding leads, are pretty simple, but others take a bit of time to figure out. For someone new, the UI can feel a little overwhelming at first. Once you spend some time with it, it gets smoother, but it’s not as easy or intuitive as it could be.

I have not had much opportunity to go directly to support, but the training modules that are employed by the company are fantastic. I also find that if I need to understand something, there is always another user ready and willing to share their secrets. As this tool becomes more accepted local communities will also start to organize

Affinity Designer stacks up really well against Illustrator, especially for the kind of work I do. While Illustrator might have more niche features that Affinity does not but It does covers the core functionality I need for vector design. And without the ongoing subscription cost. I chose Affinity Designer primarily because it's a one-time purchase, which makes a big difference for my small business.

Both the tools offer similar features for things like data enrichment and prospecting. But the main reason to go with Persana AI was cost. Even though Clay is also a strong tool, Persana AI gave us a good balance of functionality and price, so we decided to go with it.
