Focused on inventory and accounting production; valuable inventory control and sales recording
The Acumatica features I found most valuable are inventory control and sales recording Additional features I would like to see in the next release are more flexible reporting options. I would specifically benefit from the ability to create comparative reports for many months instead of having to…

Has enabled seamless integration across platforms while supporting advanced analytics for customer insights
Microsoft Dynamics CRM doesn't provide solutions that allow you to transform easily if you have a heterogeneous mix of technologies or if your contact center is on analog and you try to digitize it. A lot of custom work is needed if you have to integrate heterogeneous technologies with the Microsoft suite, but if you are using the Microsoft suite, then it's quite seamless. Microsoft Dynamics CRM should add commercial models that allow smaller companies to use it because it can get pretty expensive. Better commercial options for smaller implementations may be helpful. There should be commercial options for smaller companies, as the overheads and costs of Dynamics can be quite high.

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."
"We had one solution for everything, from the first phone call down to follow-up visits for wholesale callers and for just regular purchases."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality."
"Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting tab."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the accessibility of the service because we can access it either in the office or when we're out in the field."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM has to be its interface...Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a user-friendly platform."
"The integration with the Microsoft suite, such as Office 365 and SharePoint, offers significant benefits for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, as ninety percent of organizations are already on the Microsoft suite, leading to quick integration and system setup."
"The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The solution doesn't have features to break down the structure for multiple people in the project."
"It is very expensive for a small business."
"The solution's interface has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's customer support could be improved as tickets usually take a long time to resolve."
"The integration capability with other systems could be improved, particularly the Lead Generation system."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need."
"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
"The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
"In terms of the performance, when it comes to loading a large volume of data, it's slow at times, so the system could be optimized."
 

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."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"Microsoft often encourages customers to commit to multi-year enterprise-level agreements, such as three or five-year deals with a minimum commitment of, for example, $200,000 dollars. However, in order to acquire more customers, I believe Microsoft should offer this same rate for one-year commitments for customers who want to experience it."
"For the price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive a lot of comprehensive functionality. Additionally, it integrates very well. We pay approximately $100 a month to use the solution and we do not have any additional costs."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"I am not the person who pays for Microsoft Dynamics CRM but it is expensive. I have been using Microsoft Azure, which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is built on, and I know we prepaid for the services. For me as a consumer, I do not think I can afford it, mainly because I am only learning how to use the AI and the rate which they charge is high. In general, Microsoft solutions are expensive and this is most likely due to the brand, this is something you expect. However, the price might be high but you receive a highly secure solution."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
