Sr. Manager, Tmt Business Consulting (Focused On B2 B Tech Product Cos.) at a security firm 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

"The most valuable features of Dynamics 365 Sales for us are the standard functional power platform applications for business processes."
"Dynamics 365 Sales is a stable solution with good documentation."
"The solution is fast."
"Dynamics 365 Sales offers robust integration capabilities with third-party tools, complemented by our in-house developed applications. We've tailored our pricing within Dynamics 365 to suit our specific needs, collaborating closely with our teams for its development. Leveraging Azure and Microsoft Office 365 integration, Dynamics 365 becomes even more powerful."
"Dynamics 365 Sales has a sales feature that is easy to use. It is easy to understand and use."
"Microsoft 365, in its entirety, provides a collaborative environment that allows me to connect to multiple tools, including email, drive, and cloud hosting folders."
"It integrates well with other Microsoft products, enhancing sales workflow."
"SAP was very complicated, while Dynamics 365 Sales became simple for senior leaders to use, reducing time spent from 2-3 hours per week in SAP to 15-20 minutes in Microsoft Dynamics when done properly."
"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."
"Pipedrive offers a lot of value for the money because it includes e-signature, document generation, CRM, and workflow automation in one not-expensive solution."
"The most useful thing is the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting."
"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."
"The biggest and the best feature is the view that you get when you log in, where you have a board like Kanban with columns that help you move deals along the process and really keep track of where you are."
"The biggest and the best feature is the view that you get when you log in. You have a board like Kanban when you log in, and you've got a column on the left and several other columns that move to the right, depending on where you are in a particular deal. If it's a prospect or someone who is just looking, you move it along the process, and it really helps you keep track of where you are."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
"It is a stable platform."
 

Cons

"It's very structured, and the out-of-the-box functionality is very limited, meaning you have to do a lot of customizations."
"The solution needs an improved connection to AI."
"At the start of the project, we made this mistake by relying on Power Automate. We discovered latency issues and problems related to the limits exist."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The pricing must be improved."
"Making it more budget-friendly would be beneficial."
"An area for improvement is the integration with WhatsApp. Currently, it is available only through a third party, which incurs additional costs."
"I have not noticed anything that I would recommend for improvement so far."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"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."
"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."
"Pipedrive could be more efficient. I want the management to be more transparent so it's easier to monitor the sales team's activities and results and do business forecasting. It would help them to improve the quality of the sales cycle."
"The automation process is challenging."
"The tool's APIs are challenging. It should also be compliant with HIPAA, FINRA and GLBA. The data centers should be within US so that they are compliant with regulations."
"The product is expensive."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost of the solution is very similar to that of other solutions like Salesforce CRM."
"Pipedrive is relatively more affordable than other solutions."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"Pipedrive is the most cost-effective in terms of the balance between cost and features. I would take Pipedrive over HubSpot or Zoho CRM. It's well-positioned on the market."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"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."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
