SuiteDash vs DesignFiles: Which is a better fit?

David P.: Hi, I'm David, owner and founder at 3LQ by Prodigy Tutors. SuiteDash, I would say a five. The other product I had was actually a homegrown solution. I'm a developer by trade, so I think that I'm smart. So I got together some Excel and some Apps Script, and I thought I was creating myself a decent CRM until I realized what all that entailed and all of the nuances that go along with tracking leads and the follow-up email marketing. So yeah, I had to admit that my solution wasn't worth too much and look for another solution. I chose SuiteDash because of all of the functionality that they have, and it's functionality comparable to the bigger names. It's like the enterprise apps, but it was really expensive. And listen, I am a solopreneur or whatever coin phrase we're using these days, and there is no extra money in the budget. So every dollar's accounted for, and SuiteDash was definitely a lot of bang for my buck, and ultimately that's why I chose it. Luckily, I'm a startup, so there were no real clients. There was no real business. So, I kind of integrated the business around SuiteDash. All of my test cases were built in SuiteDash. The customers weren't going in. They were new. So didn't have too much of an implementation. What I did have was a learning curve, a learning curve about actually, I think, the proper way to actually do marketing, the proper way for email marketing, the proper way to go through a sales pipeline because, before that, I didn't know what I didn't know. So, SuiteDash has opened up a world of, I guess, a world of knowledge, which ultimately leads to opportunity. I would tell them that if they offer any sort of learning, any tutoring or classes, don't buy another solution. I purchased my learning management solution prior to purchasing SuiteDash only to realize that SuiteDash has one built in that is pretty decent. I could have definitely saved myself a few bucks had I shopped around a little bit before I made some purchases.

Bianca B.: Hi, I'm Bianca. I'm an interior designer and I would rate DesignFiles at a five. And for more reveals like this, you can just click below. Before using DesignFiles, I was doing everything manually, from spreadsheets and design programs to create my mood boards and also using emails to communicate with my clients. So I decided to join DesignFiles and start using the program because I wanted one place to be able to do everything simultaneously, from creating proposals, to doing the design boards, getting feedback for my customers, and as well being able to upload that into my invoice system, which is integrated with DesignFiles. It was very easy getting started with DesignFiles, mainly because they already had all this video clips with instructions and I could just watch them all over me and my team. So we could watch them and get a sense of what we needed to do it before doing all the work. So for someone wanting to start using DesignFiles, this is something I wish I'd known before. It saved me a lot of time. And time in design, it means money. So for me, it's essential to have one program that I can do basically everything all at once.
