Considered Both Products
Affinity CRM
Chose Affinity CRM
Two different companies, so it's not like I chose one over the other. However, after using both Affinity and Salesforce, I can say that Affinity is easier to use due to its simplicity. Salesforce had a lot of bells and whistles, that when used appropriately, I'm sure can help, …
Chose Affinity CRM
Affinity is the bridge that links our communication through our software workflow.
Chose Affinity CRM
Nudge.ai is in a fairly unique space. It isn't quite a CRM, it isn't quite a social or news channel. But, it has aspects of all. Nudge.ai was chosen because it allowed us to use one tool for multiple purposes. LinkedIn Sales Navigator is probably the closest to Nudge.ai but is …
Corel PaintShop Pro
Chose Corel PaintShop Pro
I've used Corel PaintShop Pro for many years - so many, in fact, that I don't recall anything specific that I used prior to it. Seems to me that it was owned by Jaasc software when I started, and I've just stuck with it, because it works and it works well. I wholly intend to …
Chose Corel PaintShop Pro
I find Corel PaintShop Pro to be a lot more user friendly and affordable.
Chose Corel PaintShop Pro
From an ROI perspective, we moved entirely away from PhotoShop because we could not justify the cost vs performance. Corel PaintShop Pro is simply more cost-effective and offers the same performance and tools.

Very well suited for venture capital or any firm where you are managing a lot of stakeholders that are in different groups.

Corel PaintShop Pro is well suited for photographers wanting to adjust photos and also for designers who want to create designs from scratch, working in layers and merging various elements. Due to slow load times, Corel PaintShop Pro is not well suited when you only have a few small tasks to do and when a lightweight alternative will do the job just as well (e.g. cropping and red-eye removal).

  • I have the 2018 version and every now and again upgrade ads will pop up in the bottom right of my screen which I find rather annoying
  • How to save your work and where it gets saved is confusing. It took me a while to realize that projects were saved in "pspimage" files. The knowledge base article “The Basics Of Saving Files In PaintShop Pro” did not mention pspfiles. They also have the concept of workspaces, but I eventually realized that this is not where your work is saved.
  • I find that a tool called paint.net is massively easier to use, but, then again, paint.net has far fewer features. I think an option in PaintShop Pro for temporarily switching down the functionality and interface to resemble paint.net would be a useful feature, so users do not get blinded by the extensive interface.

We will definitely be renewing. The value for the price we are paying is solid, and we are interested in growing our use to see if we can expand on the value we are getting from Nudge.ai.

I feel like the program is not only powerful and intuitive, it's also extremely affordable. I've been a PSP user for many, many years, and I've really not looked at any other alternatives since then. At the time, anything remotely close was very expensive. PSP does everything (and MUCH more) that I need it to effectively and affordably. As long as that continues, I'll continue to be a satisfied user.

Overall I am used to using Paintshop Pro since before it was a Corel Product it has only gotten better and I do not have to put up with Adobe rules

Reliability and Availability

This program is not dependent on outside resources. Again, this is a desktop app. Load it up and use it. As long as your machine is reasonably powered and otherwise behaving, PSP runs great.

Support Rating
Nudge.ai is fairly intuitive, so the need for support is minimal. I have only had to reach out to the support team a couple of times for minor issue. The response has been quick and issues resolved to my satisfaction in a reasonable time frame. I have no issues with Nudge support at this time.

I've never had to contact support. If I've had questions, I've been able to answer them from the existing help file and video tutorials.

Implementation Rating

Nothing in particular. This is a desktop app. Install the program and use it. It's very straightforward for general graphic manipulation, and very intuitive for more complex processing.

Two different companies, so it's not like I chose one over the other. However, after using both Affinity and Salesforce, I can say that Affinity is easier to use due to its simplicity. Salesforce had a lot of bells and whistles, that when used appropriately, I'm sure can help, but its not needed for what I currently do.

Scalability

I'm not sure that this is scalable; it's a desktop app. Load it up, and use it. Make sure you have a license for each person using it. Pretty simple.
