Dynamics 365 vs DesignFiles: Which is a better fit?

Adoba: Hi everyone, my name is Adoba. I lead technical and product at Alphora, a team of roughly seven to nine. I rate Dynamics at a four out of five. So we use Dynamics most for sales and our marketing. The sales Microsoft relationship, sales is a big part of what we do. We also use the service part, which is the customer service. The marketing part of Microsoft Dynamics help us keep in touch with our customers and our sales reps with the product. So being in the Microsoft ecosystem is one of the best things with Dynamics. You have access to the entire product line that just works seamlessly together. Like I said, we do sales, CRM, marketing. All of those things are the individual products that we considered, but Microsoft was able to bring them together. The product for our sales, which we use the most, has really grown. The features that they've added has just been tremendous, and that's the best part about Microsoft Dynamics for us. I think there's always an issue with seat based billing, which is what we have with Dynamics today. I think that's just the biggest issue, and sometimes I think being part of the ecosystem of having access to Microsoft Dynamics to their products is an advantage but sometimes it can also be a disadvantage because, for us, we had everything siloed before in different other products but when we decided to use Dynamics we had to bring sales together into one product, bring marketing together into one product, bring our [inaudible 00:01:22] together into one product. That's sort of a disadvantage. I'm not sure how well these three things are able to work outside of each other if they're not connected under the same system so it was a huge consideration for us and I think for anyone who is wanting to use Dynamics.

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.
