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.

I use Oracle CRM for sales purposes The solution serves end-to-end customer relationship management which includes sales cloud, e-commerce cloud, and marketing cloud. This includes reporting and advanced analytics capabilities. The AI feature needs improvement. The technical support also has…
Willem Lambrechts - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Microsoft Dynamics is user-friendly and intuitive. It's easy to understand how it works."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution."
"I have used many Microsoft solutions and I am comfortable using the solution. Additionally, it is secure."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are all the filters and possible reports."
"The most valuable features are the integration capabilities with other third-party software. It has an easy user interface and in terms of security, it has permission-based access for different users."
"The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
"Integration with other Microsoft tools is a good feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"The most valuable features of the solution I like are its stability and customization."
"Oracle CRM integrates seamlessly because it's an end-to-end solution."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"The reporting features are valuable."
"Technical support is very fast. It's customer friendly."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
"The usability of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Pipedrive's most valuable feature is reporting and insights. The CRM shows the database and lets the salespeople arrange their daily activities. The insights are essential from a management point of view because it helps the sales staff improve or adjust their whole sales cycle, activities, and quality."
"The solution is very stable."
"It's very flexible and we can really fit it into our business model."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"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."
"It could be less complicated for smaller organizations."
"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 customer support could be improved as tickets usually take a long time to resolve."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future."
"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
"The product is not intuitive."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"It's not perfect with technical support from Oracle CRM, which is why we have managed services because it's far easier to get our issues addressed than going through tech support."
"Their support could be faster. Like any other solution provider, in some cases, it takes time to get their response, and sometimes, they do not fix the issue in the first round. Therefore, we have to go through another round."
"The integration possibilities with other systems could be better as well. We use it in connection with Octopus CRM, and there's room for improvement."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"The form builder works even though it has some shortcomings...Also, the forms don't have the ability to avoid or stop people from signing up if they don't have a corporate email."
"The platform could be even more robust."
"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 automation process is challenging."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"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."
"The customers that have Microsoft Office 365, the license price is competitive. It is competitive because the next solution above it is Salesforce, which is licensed quite high. The price annually was approximately $55 per user but we did a combination of users with some of them having the higher range of approximately $85."
"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."
"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 an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"The solution is affordable."
"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."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"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."
