Featured Reviews

Pawel-Gawronski - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Greg Jacob - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines collaboration across teams and has a straightforward setup process
The platform initiates a series of processes to complete the sale, which may involve ordering equipment, providing services, and tracking necessary activities. The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team. Compared to my experience working with HubSpot, which excelled in presales and marketing but lacked integration with ERP and post-sales processes, NetSuite CRM+ stands out for its ability to streamline collaboration and information sharing across teams. It facilitates post-sales engagement by effectively providing visibility into the bill of materials and assigning responsibilities. The platform is not highly customizable like Salesforce. However, it offers sufficient flexibility for our requirements. I can easily create different views and reports and add widgets to my home screen as needed. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job."
"The flexible design is highly usable, and I have seen time-saving benefits from using this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its integration with Outlook and other Microsoft products like Microsoft 365, which includes emails, Teams, and SharePoint."
"The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features."
"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."
"The solution's return on investment is worth it."
"Our clients appreciate that the solution can be used to monitor everything their customer interacts with in their business."
"I like that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay. I like that it is a stable solution. My main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"Very scalable solution that provides customer relationship management, sales, and marketing functions. It's very straightforward to set up, and it supports multi-subsidiary organizations."
"We use the product for standard CRM functions like email marketing, account management, scheduling customer profiles, and marketing materials, and for integration with the Suite Commerce."
"The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team."
"NetSuite CRM+ helps us provide customer support and track schedules for field service."
 

Cons

"Overall, the solution could be made to be more user friendly."
"A built-in automation engine to automate parts of workflows would be beneficial. That's the feature I'd be most happy to see expanded. It's currently tagged as simple automation, but I'd love some predictive capability."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"The tool should be micro-services-based. If it's not already implemented, the architecture could be enhanced by transitioning to a microservices-based model. This would allow each module to be managed independently, reducing downtime and enabling teams to work autonomously on specific services."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its end user feedback. It's still not that great compared to Salesforce. They also need to improve on the look and feel of the solution, because those are still slightly better on Salesforce."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve the integration with the other system. If they have more flexibility to connect with another system it will be more effective."
"What could be improved in NetSuite CRM+ is its UI, because it's ugly. When you compare it to the Salesforce UI, the UI in Salesforce, particularly its reporting, looks better."
"NetSuite's field service automation should be updated. We should be able to fully automate the assignment of service orders to technicians."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating AI functionality to provide intuitive assistance."
"The product needs to improve the warehouse management feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten with one being expensive and ten being of great value, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM at six on pricing."
"Compared to other tools, you have to pay for the NetSuite CRM+ module itself. You will pay a recurring fee regardless of how many users you have, then you will pay a fee per user, per month. Its cost is not a licensing cost per user, but a module cost and a user cost."
"It ultimately depends on the features and functionalities required for your specific use case."
