    I think to organise and view information Dynamo has shown it's capability. However, it's still not a workflow or project management tool. It's a great hub for inhaling and presenting information of magnitude, and it does so well. But there are limitations to how Dynamo can be used to allow interpersonal and teamed type collabs to happen. We know it's not an Asana and not built for that, so it's not a negative feedback, just not the appropriate platform if full fledged proj management and logistics, comms need to be housed somewhere along with the data, It's not within Dynamo for now.

    Junxure is great for any office just for tracking and transparency alone! I think the earlier you start using it in your business the better. This will create good habits for the employees to start using Junxure instead of their email and chat features. These take up so much time. Time equals money! This also allows you to see the status of any project or client without having to contact fellow employees. You can even see their email correspondence, therefore, if someone is sick you do not have to call them to find out what is going on with that particular client or task.

    Pros
    Dynamo Software
    • Tracking relationships in the CRM and the Web Add-in tool to add new information straight from emails.
    • The flexibility to build out whatever view you would like to see certain data in and the ability to then export information to Excel.
    • The Mail Merge Tool allows us to communicate to over 100 different subsets of our limited partners in different SPVs.

    • Clients can log in to view their investment statements. This is a timesaving benefit, as clients won't have to ask you every time they want to see how their money is performing. Being able to self-service will make your clients feel more in control of their money.
    • Being cloud-based means that the workflow monitor can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Nobody will forget important tasks as everything is being tracked. This allows staff to work from home and communicate with other employees with ease.
    • The pending action screen will allow you to reduce your to-do list and keep it in one central, accessible place. Workflow will see a major improvement!

    Cons
    Dynamo Software
    • Some functionality is clunky: Mailing Campaigns, Passthrough Integration, Dynamo Accounting Complex Transactions. At times it seems functionality is rolled out too soon.
    • Onboarding of new clients for us seems a bit haphazard. We just added a new tenant with CRM, Dynamo Accounting and the Investor Portal and we weren't exactly sure what the state of the new tenant should be based on what was copied over from a prior tenant or how much Dynamo Software time or support we would have to customize the new tenant.
    • At times it seems Dynamo Software's terminology with relationships either isn't intuitive or is repetitive creating additional time/confusion when modifying workspaces, portal set-up, etc.

    • Their integration options are a little limited compared to Redtail and SF. This has never caused an issue, but it may force you to think creatively at times.
    • Not the cheapest option, but not the highest either. I would say it has an ok price, but pays for itself. May not be right for people struggling through their first solo year.
    • I would like to see them add new features a little faster. Seems that updates are few and far between. It's a growing industry, and we need new tactics to stay ahead of the robo options coming on the market.

    Junxure is a wonderful tool and is easy to use. Once you get your team to work with Junxure more than they do chat, email etc., it will work well and save a lot of time.

    Usability
    Dynamo Software
    I find it easy to use and very intuitive once you get into the weeds. We also prepared an entire policies and procedures for utilizing it efficiently and not making many human errors. This guide has helped our employees understand how to use it. In addition, the help guides on the Dynamo website are really useful

    Main arguments were: pricing as well as the usability. Setting up Dynamo is not difficult. Especially if you don't know what you really want. Dynamo offers out of the box views. Adjusting these is simple. Other competitiors like eFront are very customisable but need to be set up from scratch. Dynamo offered some type of canvas.

    I do not particularly remember the system I entered above, as I only used it for temporary work that I did nine years ago. I did not select Junxure myself - the office I work in already had it implemented before I came on. This question does not seem to be applicable to me.

    • It has saved time by automatically capturing emails.
    • It has created efficiency from having to keep track of tasks manually or keeping power documents around.
    • It’s definitely worth the cost through all of the efficiency our firm gains. The ability to send work actions to teammates depending on their responsibilities is greatly helpful!
