Best suitable for small to medium companies and offers excellent technical support and training
The dashboard and reporting features of escala CRM have been beneficial because they are straightforward to use. Unlike other tools that try to do too much, escala focuses on simplicity, making it easier to train employees and adapt to our market needs. This simplicity is crucial for us, as extensive training can be expensive and time-consuming. The integration of Escala CRM with other tools is very good, particularly due to its use of APIs. Integrating with other applications is straightforward and standard practice, making it easy to connect with different tools as needed. Whether I would recommend escala CRM to others depends on the specific needs of the customer. If they require more than just CRM functionality, such as digital marketing capabilities, escala may not be a good fit. However, if they primarily need CRM features, it is worth considering based on its focus on small and medium-sized companies, excellent support, and training. Overall, I would rate escala CRM as a nine out of ten.

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

"The most valuable feature of Escala CRM is its excellent training and support."
"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 most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are all the filters and possible reports."
"The integration with the Microsoft suite, such as Office 365 and SharePoint, offers significant benefits for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, as ninety percent of organizations are already on the Microsoft suite, leading to quick integration and system setup."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM brings the most value in terms of its ease of implementation."
"Microsoft Dynamics is user-friendly and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use and can work with any Microsoft solution without problems."
"Our clients appreciate that the solution can be used to monitor everything their customer interacts with in their business."
"It is good for sales and service maintenance. It has various integration tools."
 

Cons

"It might not be suitable for larger enterprises."
"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."
"The performance could be improved."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"I am not the person who pays for Microsoft Dynamics CRM but it is expensive. I have been using Microsoft Azure, which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is built on, and I know we prepaid for the services. For me as a consumer, I do not think I can afford it, mainly because I am only learning how to use the AI and the rate which they charge is high. In general, Microsoft solutions are expensive and this is most likely due to the brand, this is something you expect. However, the price might be high but you receive a highly secure solution."
