Affinity vs. Octopus CRM

Nudge.ai is well suited for individual contributors without enough time or resource to do proper research on clients/prospects. It may work as well for larger teams, but I don't have experience using Nudge.ai in that environment. Nudge.ai is easy to use, so the onboarding and ramp-up time is quick.

Automating connection requests is well-suited for those working who work in sales and need to connect with a large volume of people. Not sure of suitability for other professions

• Almost all of Adobe Photoshop's features for a fraction of the cost. It was an easy decision for our organization.
• The interface and most of the features are an almost mirror image of Photoshop. Flat fees instead of high yearly fees are much more desirable for our small team.
• They have a great support forum for the little one-offs that aren't quite like the Photoshop app, or don't have the same exact name as Photoshop. The forum really helps when this happens. The YouTube support from the company and other users has been very helpful as well.
• I use Sketch as my primary vector design tool. Affinity allows me to take a .ai, .eps, or other proprietary format and convert it to .svg for use/manipulation with Sketch and back. I can't say enough for this feature. It has helped me stay less pigeon-holed into Adobe products, which have lacked innovation for a long time in my opinion.

• Sometimes interacting with a large data set is a little buggy, i.e. choppy when navigating the page.
• It would be nice to have a feature, where the status of an opportunity changes automatically when a certain thing happens. For instance, when I send a cold email, the status of a prospect would change from "identified" to "contacted."

• Could make functionality of LinkedIn Sales Nav to Octopus easier

We will definitely be renewing. The value for the price we are paying is solid, and we are interested in growing our use to see if we can expand on the value we are getting from Nudge.ai.

For a regular user of Photoshop, Affinity is a very easy transition. It has all the same features and once you adapt to it, and it provides a quick return on investment.

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 is the bridge that links our communication through our software workflow.

Octopus works hand in hand with LinkedIn Sales Nav. I will save people from leads from Sales Nav and then import those leads into Octopus to automate connection requests

• I've been able to book some meetings from people I've connected with on Octopus, positively impacting my sales metrics and my companies bottom line.
• Also good to grow my LinkedIn connections to show people I am a face in my industry.
