"The support is brilliant. All OEMs are pretty helpful."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"I like that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay. I like that it is a stable solution. My main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"The solution's return on investment is worth it."
"The most useful feature that this solution provides is the ability to make dashboards for the business easily as our company is managed using KPIs and metrics."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM brings the most value in terms of its ease of implementation."
"The way it effectively works with the array of other Microsoft tools, such as Azure, is valuable. It works very well with the use of data linking and things like that. Overall, it is a great overall tool to have an effective understanding of the transactional background of each of our customers."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The most valuable feature is lead management and integration."
"SAP CRM's most valuable at a branch level."
"It was comfortable setting up the tool."
"The solution is easy to use."
"What I found most valuable in SAP CRM is its multitenancy, and you can use it from your website, SMS, and even social media, and it's all integrated, so my company is trying to leverage on all of those."
"SAP CRM is very fast, providing accurate information and good results."
"The solution assists us in identifying what to send, what to offer, and what customers are buying."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly and having a better design. I have used Service Desk and it is not user-friendly but this solution is worse. The graphical interface is not intuitive, you need someone to guide you or you will have difficulties navigating around to find the file you need. The data we are normally dealing with is boring enough and the interface could be more attractive and more exciting. The tabs and arrangement could be done better to be more user-friendly. Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are fine and Microsoft should extend their user-friendliness and intuitiveness to Microsoft Dynamics."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"A built-in automation engine to automate parts of workflows would be beneficial. That's the feature I'd be most happy to see expanded. It's currently tagged as simple automation, but I'd love some predictive capability."
"Out of the box, the solution doesn't really have a desirable user experience. We have to set it up and customize it to meet our needs."
"The solution could improve by having better integration documentation."
"Better integration would be an improvement."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its end user feedback. It's still not that great compared to Salesforce. They also need to improve on the look and feel of the solution, because those are still slightly better on Salesforce."
"Our users are using it primarily from their laptop browser and very few are using it on their mobile because the mobile is not that user-friendly."
"Previously, the SAP CRM used to use simple servers, but now SAP uses HANA. The problem with the HANA databases is their interoperability with other solutions. SAP CRM could improve by working better with other solutions."
"The implementation and integrations could be better. After we went into the production environment, we had some issues. Most of them were with the ERP integration. Many other issues were around the client's integrations between the ERP and CRM platforms. It could be more user-friendly. It wasn't very user-friendly initially, but now it's easier for them to use. Now, the users can use that platform better than at the beginning. We would like to see reports with more analytic features and artificial intelligence in the next release. For example, show more metrics and KPIs and more dynamic dashboards. Because the platform has some models, but it's not easy to use. It's a little complex."
"There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems."
"In terms of visibility of the data, there's a very limited set that we have access to and sometimes it's very difficult and not user-friendly to analyze from front end to back end. It's the biggest challenge, even if I'm working with an organization where we've implemented SAP."
"The integration of SAP CRM with the SAP platform is relatively easier as compared to any other third-party product. If you go for any other third-party product, you will have a lot of challenges in terms of integration."
"There is no scope for integration because SAP does not allow any personal integration."
"SAP must provide a demo system for the customers."
