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.
Hakan Genel - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use, simple and stable CRM solution
The solution is used for VMware Environment It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one. It's very easy to use. All servers are in the environment, and we are using the data source. Nimble is very reliable. The configuration is very quick and simple.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Working with all Microsoft products from one platform is very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the integration with Microsoft Office 365."
"We are able to effectively follow up on requests, ensuring all customer issues are resolved in a timely manner. This solution provides a platform where there is visibility of all customer interactions, with efficient follow-up."
"Right now we're using the financial features, and we haven't tried the inventory. It's useful more on the financial side."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has plenty of valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are all the filters and possible reports."
"The way it effectively works with the array of other Microsoft tools, such as Azure, is valuable. It works very well with the use of data linking and things like that. Overall, it is a great overall tool to have an effective understanding of the transactional background of each of our customers."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in handling nonlinear sales processes and complex quoting."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is operational enough, in terms of frequency, but an area for improvement would be its dashboard. Currently, it's widget-like, so hopefully, it could be improved, particularly to allow you to create a custom dashboard using a query. A custom dashboard would make the solution better and is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM because right now, it only has a default dashboard, but maybe my account has limited access, so I can only see the default version of the dashboard."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making the ports and dashboards more intuitive using Microsoft Azure analytical features. Compared to Salesforce and other partners, the dashboards in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are less intuitive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly and having a better design. I have used Service Desk and it is not user-friendly but this solution is worse. The graphical interface is not intuitive, you need someone to guide you or you will have difficulties navigating around to find the file you need. The data we are normally dealing with is boring enough and the interface could be more attractive and more exciting. The tabs and arrangement could be done better to be more user-friendly. Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are fine and Microsoft should extend their user-friendliness and intuitiveness to Microsoft Dynamics."
"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need."
"The product has a security flaw."
"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"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."
"It is a very comprehensive package. We get everything from Access to D 365. We get Microsoft's suite of tools. I'm not too sure about the pricing, but I can't imagine it being cheap."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is cost-effective."
