Chose Dynamo Software
The decision to select Dynamo Software occurred before I joined the firm.
Chose Dynamo Software
No comment as the only other software I use/ed here at Cento is Highrise, which is being deprecated. I think iLevels is another one, but that was just a demo. Can't say it was good or not, it seemed like it was more catered for bigger/heavier financial type data sets and …
Chose Dynamo Software
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 …
Chose Dynamo Software
We used Efront previously and moved to Dynamo and rate Dynamo very highly in comparison.
Chose Dynamo Software
Dynamo Software was able to offer us a CRM, Investor Portal, Accounting Software and Fund Administration solution that we couldn't find anywhere else that would allow us to easily import and export data in Excel. Other vendors practically owned our data or there was additional …
Chose Dynamo Software
Dynamo Software makes the most sense from a cost perspective for available offerings to our clients. The integration between the CRM, Accounting module and investor portal. We also appreciate the ability to customize the investor portal to the client's request all within the …

Salesforce is used by a lot of organisations and is a big name in the market, it is more robust and built for big organisations
Chose Agentforce Financial Services
The interface is great and collaboration is fantastic. Other platforms are so horrible. Salesforce Financial Services Cloud welcomes you to work and is much faster.
Chose Agentforce Financial Services
I think Salesforce has more information in it that our sales team needs that Gainsight was not able to provide
Chose Agentforce Financial Services
We haven't used anything previously to Salesforce. We were trying to implement what we needed as a company with our current ticketing and quoting software, but it wasn't doing what we needed. Once we found Salesforce we were able to really dial in on the important things needed …

Its alot more Dynamic than Salesforce. It helps with CRM, investor details, investor performance, fund performance, a huge help page, customizability, etc.. Its also pretty simple to work in which is a bonus. WE use it to send out mass mailings and you can have a template that you can roll over each month so that you dont have to reformat anything. Tax documents can be delivered automatically and it just pulls information from your server so you dont need to add anything into the cloud

Salesforce Financial Services Cloud is really helpful when it comes to projections for our business. In order to cover our office overheads, we try to project sales leads becoming opportunities and closed and won sales for each quarter so we can ensure all targets are met and obligations too.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

Usability
The usability is great - the user interface is intuitive and easy to learn and navigate. The ability to customize the interface both at a user level and admin/system-wide level is a huge plus. Additionally, the ability to generate custom, exportable views/reports is very useful. One piece of feedback on the custom views - it would be great if all entities in the hierarchy structure (documents, contacts, funds, companies, etc.) could all relate to each other in customized views which would enhance the capabilities even further.

Once established in your organisation it is brilliant, however this can take a while and expertise to do this. Salesforce is a leader in the market and a lot of people have experience. There is a lot that you can do once set up with integrations to manage your deal cycles

Can't say it was good or not, it seemed like it was more catered for bigger/heavier financial type data sets and reporting, which we'd like but isn't a huge stickler or priority at the moment to be platform enabled.

  • Positive impact - It really helps the tracking and traceability of actions, process and flows. It is very scalable and helps to organize big enterprises.
  • Negative impact - It is not cheap, I will consider Salesforce Financial Services Cloud in the upper scale of costs. However, the cloud capacity is top notch.
