Agrxis Review on Dynamo

For me, using Dynamo to manage my finances and business operations has been a game-changer. The platform provides a full range of functions, including document management, contact management, investor reporting, client portal, real estate administration, lead management, investment tracking, and accounting, that are tailored to my particular needs. My process has been substantially improved and the need for additional systems has been removed thanks to the smooth connectivity between these components. I like the platform's user-friendly interface and simple navigation since they make it simple for me to get about and find the information I need. I was able to adapt Dynamo to my particular workflows and requirements because to the customization possibilities. I can now make data-driven decisions and learn a lot about my investments and business operations thanks to the powerful reporting and analytics features. Overall, Dynamo has exceeded my expectations and has given me the tools and functionality I need to successfully manage my investments.

PROS

I'm excited to discuss my favorite aspects of Dynamo Software. Its broad and integrated nature is, in my opinion, its most notable aspect. I can access a variety of capabilities with Dynamo, including accounting, document management, contact management, investor reporting, client portal, real estate management, lead management, and real estate administration, all on a one platform. My efficiency has increased dramatically as a result of this centralized strategy, which does away with the necessity for many ad hoc systems or manual procedures. Everything being in one location makes it easy for me to switch between modules, have access to important data, and complete tasks. The user experience is further improved by the user-friendly design and simple navigation. Additionally, Dynamo's flexibility to modify and adapt the platform to my particular specifications has been priceless in enabling me to modify it to fit my particular processes and demands.

CONS

Thus far, my experience with Dynamo has been very positive and I have not encountered any issues or concerns.

Dynamo - it's more than just a CRM!

Our overall Dynamo experience has collaborative. We staged our implementation in phases starting with CRM first. We continue to deploy more & more features, explore modules and are constantly considering better ways to do our day to day tasks. Dynamo support has been good whether tackling our questions about best practices, helping to guide us on new features, provide training or answering our what if or how to questions. We have experienced good dialogue and partnership in addressing our concerns.

PROS

We implemented Dynamo after years of our growing team being unable to 'find our stuff' on a network drive full of hundreds of folders that were poorly organized, named or maintained. Our team decided to start looking for a system to organize our data. That search started as a CRM system search and then evolved as we completed searches and demos to explore also portfolio management and reporting. Our reporting had solely been excel based and with significant history to store, we were tasking excel to serve essentially as a database. With each system/vendor we reviewed, the more capabilities we started to consider. Dynamo was appealing as it served to answer a number of challenges we were facing and because it was integrated, we weren't trying to fit a bunch of different systems/software together to make everything work nicely together.

CONS

Initially the reporting was less robust. This has changed dramatically and the reporting and dashboards are robust and dynamic. The shift from Tableau reporting to Power BI has really improved the quality of reporting.

Dynamo/Preqin Review

Customer support has been great. There is room to improve on ease of customization by the user, as well as, data upload alternatives to Excel. Customization on next iteration looks interesting .

PROS

Centralized database. Designed to be the single source of truth on financials.

CONS

Difficulty in making changes to the excel upload template (customer support needed). Limited UI flexibility. Excel input to database.

Best LP Platform and Data Service Offering

We really enjoy working with the Dynamo team. The team is very forward thinking and service oriented. We have collaborated with Dynamo a lot to build new features and functionality with the system. The team always communicates deadlines and assists in any way possible with implementation.

PROS

Dynamo Software is a one stop solution for LPs. It has a great CRM platform as well as a fantastic portfolio management solution. You don't need to worry about connecting two systems together.

CONS

Dynamo did not have a connector to administrators such as State Street. However, we worked with Dynamo to build a file transfer and now cash transactions and reconciliations with our administrator are automated.

Reason for choosing Dynamo

Dynamo had a great all around platform including CRM, document management, portfolio management, analytics. Dynamo was very willing to work collaboratively with clients to make their software even better.

I used Dynamo at a previous employer and liked it so much I implemented it at GMF.

PROS

I have used a few CRMs throughout my career and Dynamo is the most user friendly and easily customizable of the lot. Being able to create fields and views without having to submit service tickets is immensely valuable in a rapidly growing business. I have been able to build our Dynamo tenant to most accurately reflect our unique business model instead of shoehorning into a preset box.

CONS

Our business model employs a significant number of transfers within and across entities. This has been my biggest pain point as the transfer process continues to change. I would love to have a process by which we could transfer from Investor Account A in Fund X to Investor Account B in Fund Y in a single step.

Product review

Our experience with Dynamo has been exceptional. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] did a great job onboarding us and building some finds or reports on his own. The continued support has also been exceptional. It is nice to know that if we need help there is a team at Dynamo to continue with the help and support we need.

PROS

There are several easy ways to get data in. Manual entry is easy and not time consuming. I love the many different ways data can be loaded into the database.

CONS

We are a firm that has clients with a lot of Transfers of Interest. This and the commitment/ownership are my biggest issues with the software. I would also say while it is my least favorite it is still way easier than our old system.

Reason for choosing Dynamo

I was not a part of the product decision making.

Reasons for switching to Dynamo

The system was old and outdated and we were not getting any support. Report run times were exceeding five minutes.

Review

PROS

The team was already using Dynamo when I came on. I find it easy to use. I can easily organize all fund and manager information into one place so I can easily find it.

CONS

It's small, but when I search for things, it always takes a few seconds to load the drop-down menu to select what I'm looking for. The AI add-in is frustrating because it will auto-relate entities that are not related to the activity I'm saving. For example, if the notes in the body of an activity mention something generic like a Bloomberg Barclays Index, it will auto-relate every contact in the system from both Bloomberg and Barclays even though the notes are not about either Bloomberg or Barclays.

I Wouldn't Leave Home Without It

Overall, they are a fantastic company to work with. The support team, although based in Bulgaria, for the most part responds as though they were in the USA. We have been long time customers and grown along with Dynamo. The experience has been great.

PROS

Its cloud based architecture, coupled with intuitive design makes this a fantastic product for our needs.

CONS

It would be great if the product introduced a 'recycle bin' so any entities accidentally deleted could be easily restored.
