Worth the unusually high price for an AppSumo deal
I just received my code yesterday so I am not a power user yet. I am also based in Germany and Deskera books are planning on German compliance in the first quarter of next year. So I am investing in faith that this will be perfect for our business in the future.
As I am not yet a power user, there are things I can not comment on. However, I have familiarized myself with the service on my desktop and I have downloaded the app on my phone.
So far, I am very impressed, already in the registering process, I could feel that this is a stable product. The UI is great and easy to understand, their onboarding process is also on point. The app also runs very smoothly on my Pixel 3, a 2.5-year-old phone.
The three pillars of Deskera: Books, CRM, and People in their own dashboard, to properly separate each section to not overwhelm you. They can also be accessed through their own subdomain, for example, https://books.deskera.com.
I have also been welcomed by Deskeras thriving community, and I am impressed. The questions I have asked have been answered in less than 10 minutes and you constantly see their community manager(s) interacting with the community, calling in the appropriate Deskera employee when a harder question needs to be answered.
One thing which I didn't know about before I joined their community and which instantly made me excited is that Deskera has launched an app store and has released a public API for anyone to write apps. Their own integrations, such as WooCommerce and PayPal are released on this app store. Just to give you an idea of how flexible this API is. As my business future drop shipping partner: ShirtKing, also has an API, I am already thinking of ways that I can utilize this future.
They are having a hackathon competition in the coming weeks for anyone to join, not only Deskera users but public users as well. I can only assume that good things will come out of this and that there will be many great apps to use in the future. I just want to say, I love that they have this feature, other services, take notes!
It is clear that Deskera has been around for a while and that they do in fact know what they are doing. Their future set is massive, and it has so far _not_ given me any indications to be poorly implemented. I can only say that the unusually high price for this AppSumo deal is worth it. Even if Deskera does not yet fully support your region, you should still seriously consider it as a service for you to invest in.
