Has enabled seamless integration across platforms while supporting advanced analytics for customer insights
Microsoft Dynamics CRM doesn't provide solutions that allow you to transform easily if you have a heterogeneous mix of technologies or if your contact center is on analog and you try to digitize it. A lot of custom work is needed if you have to integrate heterogeneous technologies with the Microsoft suite, but if you are using the Microsoft suite, then it's quite seamless. Microsoft Dynamics CRM should add commercial models that allow smaller companies to use it because it can get pretty expensive. Better commercial options for smaller implementations may be helpful. There should be commercial options for smaller companies, as the overheads and costs of Dynamics can be quite high.

Workflow-driven processes enhance sales efficiency and analytical insights
Oracle CX Sales is workflow-driven, aligning with best practices in our sales process. The efficient workflow eliminates the need for multiple entries; data flows seamlessly from sales accounts to projects to quotes. The solution also offers robust analytical capabilities, enabling us to analyze reasons for wins or losses and strategically adjust our approach.
Jonny Katz - PeerSpot reviewer
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"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 stability of the solution is high."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a comprehensive solution and is well-integrated into other Microsoft solutions, including ERP solutions. Additionally, it is feature-rich."
"I like that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay; I like that it is a stable solution, and my main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"The most valuable feature is that because this solution uses the cloud, you only have to install it and allocate it to a user, making it quite easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality."
"The best practice business processes of PROMATIS helped us to implement an integrated process orientiented system."
"In terms of features, it is pretty much like other cloud solutions for sales force management, and it has definitely improved the way our organization functions."
"The main purpose of Oracle CX Sales is to calculate the ROI, and if you have a clear understanding of what is the best ROI per campaign, you are going to invest in the right place and avoid spending with zero or low ROI."
"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."
"The integration with other systems is easy."
"Stability depends on the implementation, but overall, it's quite high."
"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"Oracle CX Sales can be used for customer orders and the entire customer journey."
"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."
"It is a good platform that shows consolidation of information for our customer base."
"You can have non-sales and marketing personnel using Chatter without driving up licensing cost."
"We use Salesforce for every aspect of our business and it improves efficiency and gives us one source of truth when it comes to organizational information."
"I would rate Salesforce Sales Cloud's scalability as very good. We have scaled from 30 to 150 within three years without a glitch."
"The product is very fast and responsive. There's no lag time when you are on the platform."
"I can see activity per customer. I can find out quickly and easily who was the last person I talked to, when it was, and what we were talking about."
"In terms of the return on that investment, a non profit that uses the system well should be able to raise more money with the data and time savings provided."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve the built-in reports. The ones that are included are pretty generic unless you subscribe to Microsoft BI, which is an extra fee. They should offer the reports without having to purchase a separate subscription for Microsoft BI. However, the reports in Microsoft BI are fantastic."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"Previously, I used Dynamics, but it did not suit me, so I changed the CRM last year."
"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"Microsoft Dynamics could have better note-taking capabilities. It should have more preset options where you enter notes by clicking a box instead of writing them out."
"We use Microsoft Dynamics CRM in Africa because we did not have an SAP partner in the region. However, there is now a partner in North Africa, so we will be migrating all of the Microsoft Dynamics to SAP."
"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."
"It is difficult to qualify opportunity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"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."
"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"A lot of fields seem redundant or you have to re-enter information that you previously entered elsewhere."
"The initial setup of Oracle CX Sales is very complex."
"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection."
"As a cloud solution with web browser, it's different than my classical way of thinking. It's modern, but for older people, maybe it's not that understandable."
"There are data limitations on the platform – in terms of how much data you can store on the platform without having to purchase more."
"Its license is expensive. It is probably a lot more than smaller solutions."
"It is still relatively expensive - would like to see it a little cheaper."
"I would like to see licensing fees reduced in the next release."
"The technical support is the one area that Salesforce needs the most improvement. They are slow to respond, and in many cases you don’t get the help you need."
"We have a very broad set of products at our company. The process to get that information accurately into the Sales Cloud system could use improvement."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud does not integrate with Slack or WhatsApp, for example. As a result, there is no easy way to directly log a conversation with a client that occurred on one of these platforms. There are a few things that still need to be done manually in these instances."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"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."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"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."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"The solution is expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"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 product is pricey."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price is reasonable."
"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."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is an expensive solution."
"It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
"Not the cheapest"
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. It has a different pricing for 0-100 and another for 100-500 users."
"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."
"Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
"The price is fair."
"The price of Salesforce Sales Cloud could be reduced. It is expensive."
