Cristina Neri - PeerSpot reviewer
Cheaply-priced and does not require much customizations
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. At the moment, the tool functions quite well for our needs. Around five people use the tool. In the future, my company might plan to increase the use of the solution. Currently, all the sales people in our company use the product.
Gary Cook - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables seamless customer communication and improves satisfaction
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service ( /products/microsoft-dynamics-365-customer-service-reviews ) stands out for its superb product functionality, price performance, flexibility, and integration with other Microsoft products like Office. I especially value the complaint management feature, which allows for much more unified communication. It has a workflow feature and offers excellent automation capabilities that streamline our customer service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives."
"Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its well-organized sales cycle, which is important to us."
"I like Freshsales because it's integrated with Shopify which we use to host our website."
"Email integration is easy."
"Freshsales is user-friendly, scalable and stable."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."
"There was a situation where we needed to integrate our system with other platforms quickly. Typically, this process would require using middleware or additional testing tools. However, integration was easy because we were using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, which is a Microsoft product. It has built-in connectors that integrate with Microsoft systems, making the process much easier."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service has valuable customization features."
"Dynamics CRM is highly effective for managing customer relationships and improving sales processes."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness. Being part of the Microsoft 365 suite, it is easy to use and understand, much like Excel."
"Collaboration, pace of change, new features being rolled out, and support service are the valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service's most valuable features are the ability to create meetups for customers and support daily business functions."
"It is a stable product."
"I mainly do customer management, setting records, and things like that."
 

Cons

"We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days."
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"They could add a new chart or dashboard for visualization in the product."
"They could improve the components to be more user-friendly. It needs to be more interactive for new users to operate."
"The solution could better integrate with other enterprise solutions."
"The product could be serverless."
"The things that are needed are not available in the documentation."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward because assigning the new processes with 365 was a bit complex."
"The product is expensive. It keeps improving. Once you've invested a lot in it, switching to a different system is hard."
"The technical support should be dramatically improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is not that expensive."
"The basic price is affordable. The add ons are expensive."
"The price for this solution is good in general, but in Brazil we do pay additional taxes."
"Freshsales is an economical product."
"If one is a very low price and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."
"The tool is a bit on the expensive side if we purchase it individually."
"It is a decent price compared to multiple vendors and products available in the market."
"It is more expensive than other vendors."
"In terms of cost, the product offers competitive pricing for its feature set."
"The product's licensing is straightforward. It's user-based, so you decide how many users you want to license, and that's it. On the value-for-money scale, it's average. You do get what you pay for, so I wouldn't call it expensive."
"The solution has a corporate enterprise license, which large corporations sign."
"The pricing seems fair."
"While it will apply to all employees, not all will utilize it fully. From a cost perspective, it strikes a balance: It's not overly expensive but also not too cheap."
