Intuitive APIs, customizable design, but dashboards could improve
The most advantageous aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its periodic updates. Every quarter, Microsoft releases upgrades that address bugs and vulnerabilities. As a company governed by the Reserve Bank of India and SAP security regulations for our stock operations, we conduct periodic reviews of our applications, including Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Whenever we submit an audit report and identify bugs, we reach out to the Microsoft team for assistance. They assure us that the issues will be fixed in the next quarterly release. As a result, we have not experienced any outstanding bugs that have not been recorded or addressed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can add users and products to the workflows."
"I rate Bigin by Zoho CRM nine out of ten."
"This is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its performance."
"The support is brilliant. All OEMs are pretty helpful."
"The CRM is very fast, with customization and integration options, and easy migration."
"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."
"The integration of all data within Microsoft Dynamics CRM, including customer and lead management, is very beneficial."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Right now we're using the financial features, and we haven't tried the inventory. It's useful more on the financial side."
 

Cons

"The user interface is too modular and fragmented, posing challenges. The UI could be much better by the year 2025."
"Zoho CRM needs to incorporate HRM."
"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."
"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."
"This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement."
"It lacks to provide a more detailed profile of the customer, which would have been better and more useful."
"The installation was difficult. I'm not the person that implements the solution. However, to have the solution function in the correct way, the process can be difficult."
"They should work on improving the solution's scalability."
"The setup with other email servers, other than Microsoft Outlook, could be improved. Alternatively, we'd like to have some feature that allows us to send emails directly from our inboxes to the CRM and assign it to a certain client."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"The cost varies on multiple factors including customization and the number of users."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little 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."
