Streamlining resource management and improving project insights with helpful support
The deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy because it's a software as a service, which eliminates the need to deploy anything in our data center. It has improved the verification of value streams by mapping projects to products and demonstrating the total cost of ownership. This automation significantly impacts daily operations by reducing the time spent on manual tasks and improving the quality and delivery time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate Bigin by Zoho CRM nine out of ten."
"We can add users and products to the workflows."
"The solution is easy to use and stable. It offers a 360-degree view of your customers. It allows you to track interactions, giving you full visibility into customer habits and behavior"
"Our clients appreciate that the solution can be used to monitor everything their customer interacts with in their business."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its performance."
"Compared to other partners, the most valuable aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its intuitive APIs, which are customizable and allow for the addition of multiple parameters and attributes. This feature enhances the purpose call in our services. Additionally, the learning curve for contact center agents using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is shorter than with other solution providers. Finally, the commercial aspects of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are superior to those of other solution providers."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has plenty of valuable features."
"It is good for sales and service maintenance. It has various integration tools."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Microsoft Dynamics is user-friendly and intuitive. It's easy to understand how it works."
 

Cons

"Zoho CRM needs to incorporate HRM."
"The user interface is too modular and fragmented, posing challenges. The UI could be much better by the year 2025."
"This solution would be easier to use if everything was displayed on one page, to avoid moving from one tab to another tab to add documents or add comments."
"The solution should improve the user experience in the process of creating and activating offers."
"The main issue with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that its GUI isn't very attractive. Overall, the solution has the same functionalities as other CRMs such as Salesforce, but Salesforce is much simpler to use. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is complicated to use, and this is another area for improvement. It was also more difficult to set up the solution, so its setup could still be improved. What I'd like to see in the next version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a cleaner user interface because currently, it looks messy to me. Salesforce CRM has a better, more simplified user interface that makes it easier for you to get what you need, while in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you have to put in a lot of effort to get things done."
"They should work on improving the solution's scalability."
"When it comes to any necessary changes or updates, we have issues. It is not very agnostic in terms of working with other platforms. A lot of data transformation had to be done internally in order to send it to various systems."
"It would be a little bit easier if there were better ways to configure and modify native add-ins or plugins."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."
"The manufacturing module could be improved. I would like to see customization in the next release."

"It is a very comprehensive package. We get everything from Access to D 365. We get Microsoft's suite of tools. I'm not too sure about the pricing, but I can't imagine it being cheap."

"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
