Provided one solution for everything and housed everything for us
I wasn't there during the initial deployment, but during one of the upgrade processes, they did botch the integration. So, we had a few issues, and we had to actually start from scratch, but with the import and export scenarios, it was not very difficult. You can set up the entire database and do the whole setup in an hour on a computer. From there, use the import and export scenarios to handle everything. Overall, it takes a couple of hours. One person can deploy it. Maintenance was done by the value-added reseller. The value-added reseller is the link between the corporate and the end customer. So, they handle all the updates and everything that's needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution supports multiple branches."
"The way everything integrated well with everything else was most valuable. We had one solution for everything, from the first phone call down to follow-up visits for wholesale callers and for just regular purchases."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service has valuable customization features."
"I mainly do customer management, setting records, and things like that."
"Offers integration with hosted solutions."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service's most valuable features are the ability to create meetups for customers and support daily business functions."
"It is a stable product."
"The data is always available to the users regardless of location because of the tool's cloud-based nature. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a perfect ten. The product is highly scalable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service stands out due to its rich features, ease of deployment, and straightforward licensing structure."
"I liked the solution's web version and user interface."
"There was a situation where we needed to integrate our system with other platforms quickly. Typically, this process would require using middleware or additional testing tools. However, integration was easy because we were using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, which is a Microsoft product. It has built-in connectors that integrate with Microsoft systems, making the process much easier."
 

Cons

"We should be able to personalize it for the company. There should be more customization of the pages so that they seem more like a company rather than as an outside company. We should be able to change company images and things like that and do this kind of personalization."
"For support, we go through a distributor, and the support we receive from them is much better than what we would from Acumatica directly. When we went to Acumatica support directly, we were not happy with it."
"The solution doesn't have features to break down the structure for multiple people in the project."
"The product is expensive. It keeps improving. Once you've invested a lot in it, switching to a different system is hard."
"The solution could better integrate with other enterprise solutions."
"I am looking forward to the support function."
"The product doesn’t meet standard functionality. There should be enough features included in it."
"They could improve the components to be more user-friendly. It needs to be more interactive for new users to operate."
"There are some occasional performance issues."
"The technical support should be dramatically improved."
"They could add a new chart or dashboard for visualization in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive for a small business. If you're a small business, it is not a very good solution in that aspect, but if you are big and have more manufacturing, it is well worth it. It comes with the ability to integrate with one website. We had to modify ours. We customized it so that we could do hundreds of websites. In Texas, I believe that we were the only one ever to be integrated with hundreds of websites. So, the development of our API probably cost us a hundred grand, and then there would be maintenance. That's all outside of the standard licensing fee."
"While it will apply to all employees, not all will utilize it fully. From a cost perspective, it strikes a balance: It's not overly expensive but also not too cheap."
"I rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing a five out of ten."
"It is more expensive than other vendors."
"The solution has a corporate enterprise license, which large corporations sign."
"The tool is a bit on the expensive side if we purchase it individually."
"It is a decent price compared to multiple vendors and products available in the market."
"The product's licensing is straightforward. It's user-based, so you decide how many users you want to license, and that's it. On the value-for-money scale, it's average. You do get what you pay for, so I wouldn't call it expensive."
"The pricing seems fair."
