Sr. Manager, Tmt Business Consulting (Focused On B2 B Tech Product Cos.) at a outsourcing company with 11-50 employees
Efficient and intuitive experience facilitates global sales collaboration and optimizes user engagement
Beyond what Dynamics 365 Sales currently provides, any improvement would require a combination of processes, changes, and user behavior modifications on our side coupled with the product. The product has launched numerous features, including AI capabilities, though I haven't found use for many of them. Reducing feature bloat would be beneficial, especially considering different organizational needs. In a federated B2B company, CRM usage is limited to fundamental fields. Performance improvements, such as reducing field loading time from three seconds to one second, don't significantly impact average users. In our B2B organization, which consists of numerous companies each generating several million dollars in revenue, teams only need 5-10 strong features. Additional features are primarily useful for central sales revenue operations teams handling reports and analysis. For average users in a B2B services organization, the current feature set is sufficient. Over the last few months, we have received many AI features and co-pilot integration into Teams. However, additional CRM features are not necessary for our usage.

Managing Director at Drebbel
Offers the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting
We do a lot of analytics and reporting ourselves. We don't necessarily use all the features that Pipedrive provides, but it's very helpful at least. It has streamlined our deal-closing process. We use it for everything. When we create a lead, we put it into Pipedrive. That lead can be converted into an opportunity, which we manage through our whole pipeline. This includes having all data related to the opportunity in one place. Once the deal is closed, we use Pipedrive to follow up on the invoices until they are paid. We also manage sales commissions and payments to our salespeople through Pipedrive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dynamics 365 Sales is a stable solution with good documentation."
"Dynamics 365 Sales has a sales feature that is easy to use. It is easy to understand and use."
"The most valuable features of Dynamics 365 Sales for us are the standard functional power platform applications for business processes."
"The AI provides insights about the customer."
"It allows effective management of the follow-ups of leads and potential opportunities."
"The tool is on the same screen as Microsoft and Windows, which makes it easier for end users to learn. Its features are good, and the solution's integration is without challenges."
"It integrates well with other Microsoft products, enhancing sales workflow."
"It stands out as an exceptional choice for businesses seeking a comprehensive ERP solution that offers a range of features, including finance, payroll, and HR modules, making it more than just a retail tool."
"The solution is very stable."
"Anyone thinking about using this solution should definitely look at it and seriously consider it because it's a very good product."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
"Pipedrive's most valuable feature is reporting and insights. The CRM shows the database and lets the salespeople arrange their daily activities. The insights are essential from a management point of view because it helps the sales staff improve or adjust their whole sales cycle, activities, and quality."
"Pipedrive's most valuable features are that you can keep the whole information that's related to managing your sales process and you can customize it easily. The person that we have who is customizing Pipedrive is very junior in means of software development or process development. He can easily use it, anyone can use the solution. It has a very easy user interface to customize your processes and apply them to the Pipedrive process."
"Pipedrive makes it easy to understand who I'm talking to at a glance. It has all the activities, node features, opportunity interface, deal interface, and time drive deals.The sales process is extremely simple, which saves me time and energy. I can send the document for e-signature and make the most out of my deals. I can automatically send emails and phone calls. You need to do only a little API programming. It offers massive flexibility. You can run an entire enterprise on the platform. The ease of use facilitates huge adoption."
"It is a stable platform."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement is the integration with WhatsApp. Currently, it is available only through a third party, which incurs additional costs."
"Making it more budget-friendly would be beneficial."
"The pricing must be improved."
"I have not noticed anything that I would recommend for improvement so far."
"Reducing feature bloat would be beneficial, especially considering different organizational needs."
"The solution needs an improved connection to AI."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"It's very structured, and the out-of-the-box functionality is very limited, meaning you have to do a lot of customizations."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce. The documentation of Pipedrive could improve. They need more qualified documentation because I had to fix my colleague's work to correct the reports because they did not find how they can do it, or develop reports. There are some misunderstandings about how to do reporting."
"The product is expensive."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"We are using the lowest version of it. As we become more sophisticated, we might outgrow the tool, but there are features that are available in the higher-level versions, which I'm unfamiliar with, that might be able to meet the needs we would have in the future. They can maybe add some of the features to the basic version or make it more reasonably priced or free."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
"In future releases, I would like to have a highly intelligent integration service where you can easily connect PipeDrive with other tools, even if you are not a developer."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is very similar to that of other solutions like Salesforce CRM."
"Dynamics 365 Sales' pricing is in the middle. It's not expensive like SAP and Oracle."
"The pricing is challenging, which is particularly relevant for countries like Pakistan and others with limited budgets."
"The platform is expensive."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"Pipedrive is relatively more affordable than other solutions."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"The solution is affordable."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, two or three. For us, everything is expensive because this is a startup, but for a normal company, it should be peanuts."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
