Though it is good for the analytics part, it needs to be made less complex for users
The problems we faced with Adobe Campaigns in my company stemmed from the fact that it was very complex software. In my company, it did not allow us to expose APIs to do the stuff we require in our company. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.
NavinJacob - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Analytics was a good part of Adobe Campaign."
"It is a stable solution."
"The tool helps store and manage our data. I don't need to be a pro in SQL, but I can still run queries and get the exact data I want. Some workflows help me get data from any table and send it to any platform without expert SQL knowledge. I can still export complicated data anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its integration with Outlook and other Microsoft products like Microsoft 365, which includes emails, Teams, and SharePoint."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Integration is the best feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It integrates quickly across multiple apps and has a lot of APIs available that you can link to. It's very customizable, so we're able to tailor it to a client's needs."
"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 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."
"This is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Adobe Campaign needs to improve the UI because it is a bit old. Sometimes, the platform is a bit slow."
"The dashboard is perfect. The UI could be more user-friendly because the buttons are pretty small. Only someone who knows where to find them will easily locate them. New users might have difficulty finding options. Since I've been working with it for a while, I don't have that problem."
"The problems we faced with Adobe Campaigns in my company stemmed from the fact that it was very complex software."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."
"Overall, the solution could be made to be more user friendly."
"The pricing of Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be complex due to Microsoft's complicated licensing model."
"We would like to see the tech support for this product improved, at present we are frequently waiting for a couple of days before we receive any response."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making it easier to export data to SharePoint because most of our customers use SharePoint. They have to log into a Microsoft environment platform from their SharePoint for access should be made easier. Additionally, if the customer portal was enhanced for it to be customized it would be a benefit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It will be a bit expensive because it is an Adobe product."
"The solution is cheaper than Salesforce. It is useful for small banks that want to trigger emails."
"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"The customers that have Microsoft Office 365, the license price is competitive. It is competitive because the next solution above it is Salesforce, which is licensed quite high. The price annually was approximately $55 per user but we did a combination of users with some of them having the higher range of approximately $85."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten with one being expensive and ten being of great value, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM at six on pricing."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
