Featured Reviews

Marcus Quinn - PeerSpot reviewer
Open source, stable and capable of working with existing Adobe files
Affinity Photo needs to work more. They need to align as much as possible with the shortcuts and keystrokes of Adobe. It's just because when you learn a tool as a professional, you tend to learn all the shortcuts and keystrokes. And if they're not the same as the same type of products that you migrated from, you lose productivity because you forget how to do things. You don't know where things are on the menu. You don't know the icon for it because you just know it as, "Oh, if I press this key, I get that." You forget the user interface. You just remember the keystrokes and the shortcuts. So, if that could align as much as possible with what I'm used to from Adobe, that would be good. And there's another product I use called Pixelmator Pro. And as much as I wish Affinity Photos did everything that Photoshop did, I actually ended up using this other product, Pixelmator, more for image editing because I just find it faster and more in line with what I remember from Photoshop. So, they are good. They've designed a good product. It's just the shortcuts and keystrokes need to match what people are used to, especially coming from Adobe because, let's say, it didn't exist. Affinity is a newer product.

Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"For me, the most valuable feature is the fact that they work with existing Adobe files. And open and edit PDFs and web-optimized exports. It's been very good."
"I like that it's completely automated. It's a very robust system. You are not going to have faults in it."
"The most valuable features of Affinity are the connection features it provides because you have a large database of startups. The people who worked in the companies and founded them are displayed in Affinity. It can show if they are using some special intelligence feature and that you may know this person, of your connections. For example, if they know the person. It works similar to the way LinkedIn does when you seek a connection. Additionally, Affinity shows how close this person is and how often they contact each other."
"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
"Oracle Fusion's scalability and flexibility are its most valuable features."
"It has provided a faster turnaround time. We were able to automate a number of transactional tasks and return that extra time to taking care of customers."
"I find the ERP Fusion Console valuable since it centralizes all the modules like order management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that customers can easily understand it."
"There is also a focus on maintaining efficiency, and it is a significant time saver."
"Previously, my clients used a smaller ERP system, not a major one. However, they have now transitioned to Oracle, which provides them with a more extensive range of options. Unlike before, it's now an integrated system that covers various aspects, including finance, supply chain management, and other functionalities."
 

Cons

"It would be better if it were "pay-per-user" instead of "pay-per-account." For example, I'm Siddharth Mallya, and I have two email accounts. Each of those accounts is a separate payable account for me. For instance, I have created a network using my personal email ID, and now I have moved to my company email ID. It'll choose any one of those accounts, and that will become my paid account. For example, if I put in my personal email ID, then that's the account that I pay for. But I'm no longer using it, and it's not going to get updated. If I put in my work email ID, then that's an entirely separate account that I have to pay for."
"To get people to migrate, Affinity needs to somehow give them an incentive to change. The key is to make it as similar as possible. Shortcuts and keystrokes would be my biggest learning curve. So, to scale, you're going to have to convince people to relearn their workflow, and everybody's too busy to do that. Scalability is kind of mid because you face adoption resistance if you're pushing out to a studio or staff that are used to Adobe. Many products don't think beyond Microsoft and Adobe. If it's not Microsoft, then they don't understand. So, scalability is a challenge."
"Affinity could improve by adding more features. It has been a while since I have used it, but when I did, the features could improve."
"The user experience has to be much better."
"When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"The UI experience needs refinement to enhance user-friendliness."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"One suggestion I have is to shorten the IT team's response time. When we submit an ASR or similar request, it takes a while to receive a response, and this can be seen as a drawback."
"The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly."
"Oracle Service Cloud could improve the integration for older platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Affinity follows a pay-per-account model, and I think there will be a monthly or a yearly paid subscription. I have heard that it was expensive."
"Affinity is an expensive solution. However, they over a free version trial. The solution is expensive but the people that have used it say it is worth the money."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"The product has average pricing."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
