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.
Uday Kiran B - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything
The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.

Enhances deal closures and have navigation and process flow features
They should also include ATP and CTP functionality. Whenever there is a sale or opportunity, sales representatives should be able to determine what is available in the inventory and how much can be delivered to the customer. For example, if I take an order today, it might take ten days to produce and deliver the product. This is the ATP. If a customer orders 100 cell phones, the CTP functionality helps determine if we can deliver that quantity. This insight is provided when ERP systems are integrated, as ERP systems handle inventory. However, even without an ERP system, this information is crucial. The ATP and CTP stock should be monitored or mentioned somewhere in Salesforce to make decisions easier for sales representatives. If my inventory has 10,000 cell phones from 8 AM to 6 PM at the start of the day, any confirmed orders should reduce this inventory count. We can monitor my inventory in real-time and decide whether to accept new opportunities based on current stock levels.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is completely good."
"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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature."
"The support is brilliant. All OEMs are pretty helpful."
"Dynamics is easy to use. There are several fields I can filter."
"Right now we're using the financial features, and we haven't tried the inventory. It's useful more on the financial side."
"Working with all Microsoft products from one platform is very useful."
"Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability."
"The analytics features in Oracle CX Sales are good."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"In my experience, the most valuable feature of Oracle CX Sales varies depending on the vertical of the business you're in. Oracle offers industry-specific products tailored to different sectors. However, the sales cycles and methods remain largely consistent across the board."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"The integration with other systems is easy."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"The solution integrates well."
"It covers sales very well."
"It is a good platform that shows consolidation of information for our customer base."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Sales Cloud are increased productivity and business accuracy."
"The user interface is pretty simple."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very stable."
"You can adapt Salesforce for all customer needs."
"The type of customization that comes with Salesforce CRM gives me a lot of liberty and ease of access to add any information that I wish to add. For example, the name, email ID, designation, the name of the decision maker, when the client joined the company, and the amount of influence he will have on the product."
"The tool is very good in terms of stability, support, and features."
 

Cons

"The product is very old."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by having integration with Slack. Additionally, the solution is incomplete, and we must use other solutions to fulfill our needs."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"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 solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
"The solution's interface has room for improvement."
"During a period of time, restoring data and maintaining it could be better in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."
"The tool must allow developers to check logs."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"The developer console might be enhanced."
"The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."
"The performance is sometimes slow. There is too much information and this makes it difficult to find the answers we are looking for."
"It is very clunky. Its interface can be more user-friendly. There is always way too much information going on in Salesforce. It puts too much on your screen. It gives you every piece of information in the world, whereas I need less. It would be nice for it to be cleaned up a bit."
"The scalability could improve by a small amount."
"The reporting formats could be better."
"The solution's customer support is not so good."
"I don't like the way parent-child relationships work in transactions between records in Salesforce Sales Cloud. NetSuite is a little bit more user-friendly in that sense. Salesforce Sales Cloud requires that you build everything from scratch. I don't like that. It leaves a lot of thinking and solutions to the consultants and the process is more prone to errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"The product is pricey."
"The price is reasonable."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"The price is fair."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"I've seen the prices for Salesforce Sales Cloud, but I haven't been the one to handle the money. As someone who's only visually looked at the price, I would imagine it's on the pricier side, but they do have a ton of leverage, and seeing that everyone I've worked for has always been dedicated to continuing Salesforce. I've never worked for anyone who has threatened to leave. Everyone has accepted the pricing for what they offer."
"Not the cheapest"
"My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee."
"You need to pay for the license per user per month. For example, you need to pay $100 per user. If you have 200 users using your Salesforce, that would be multiplied by a hundred, that's $20,000 per month and a quarter million per year."
