Pros
"Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it is a low-code platform and we can perform business process management.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the integration with Microsoft Office 365.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy to use, the UI is very good, and it has many capabilities.""The product is user-friendly.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality.""The solution is stable.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the accessibility of the service because we can access it either in the office or when we're out in the field."

"The product's deployment phase was easy.""The case management feature is really valuable.""One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach.""Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly.""The solution is very easy to use.""We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal.""It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."

More Pega CRM Pros →

"You can adapt Salesforce for all customer needs.""The company wants to implement the idea of democracy within IT. As an end user, you can do a lot by yourself, so you do not have to write code. The idea is that they go for low-code and they use flow. It's possible to update records and do things like automation without writing real codes. I think this is one of the advantages of the solution.""Salesforce Sales Cloud is very reliable and provides good stability and security.""Salesforce Sales Cloud is a stable solution.""The performance is good, and it is easy to use.""Different leads and fields can be utilized inside of Salesforce, using the Sales Path to follow those specific leads, and what leads convert over into opportunities. The leveraging of fields help to track progress on the user interface.""It has custom fields and custom reports which can align to our business objectives and marketing focus.""I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be stable."

Cons
"The setup with other email servers, other than Microsoft Outlook, could be improved. Alternatively, we'd like to have some feature that allows us to send emails directly from our inboxes to the CRM and assign it to a certain client.""My company's biggest challenge with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is wanting to market solely to leads without having to create a contact and link the contact to the lead. From a marketing standpoint, there's room for improvement in the lead process of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.""Technical support could be faster and more responsive.""They should work on improving the solution's scalability.""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.""I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience.""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.""This is a good tool, but if you don't have experience using a CRM solution, there are a lot of things you'll need to learn. This tool needs to be more user-friendly."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cons →

"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it.""The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis.""The UI is lagging and needs to be improved.""The UI should be improved.""The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications.""For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases.""There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo""It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."

More Pega CRM Cons →

"If they could have convenient APIs into the other parts of the corporation that I wish to share data with, that would be helpful.""It would be nice if they had an ERP offering or a firm strategic partnership with a best-in-class ERP. So rather than say they're just ERP agnostic, you would pick whichever ERP you want, which is very generic. I think it would have a lot of merit if they partnered strategically with a best-in-class trusted ERP platform or acquired an ERP platform.""Amount of storage provided is limited.""I need to do a lot of customization to implement an ERP solution for an energy and utilities client versus a BFS client. Salesforce should look at the common customizations each client wants and see how much of that can be standardized into industry-specific specific solutions. That would speed up implementation, so we don't need to go through the same steps a hundred times. Salesforce could do it once and put it out for the rest of the clients to use it.""The cost of this solution could be improved.""The user interface could be more intuitive. I had some challenges with how to convert from a lead to an opportunity.""Sometimes, it is difficult to integrate it with my emails. I've had trouble integrating it with my emails. There were a couple of things I did try as well, but I wasn't able to do so. I've had difficulty in other areas too with integration. It was related to syncing my calendars. I want the tasks that I put in to automatically sync to my calendars and update my calendars, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.""The deployment of data from the development environment to production is also a weaker point because their solution is not powerful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
  • "It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
  • "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."
  • "There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
  • "The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
  • "We have a three-year ELA with all our Microsoft solutions and often we had to do a true-up which was approximately $1,000,000. Additionally, we pay approximately $2,500 a month for support."
  • "Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
  • "The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
  • More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is expensive."
  • "We have numerous uses of the solution in our organisation. Almost 72 applications are integrated with Pega CRM, and some of them are shutting down for various reasons including the high licensing costs. There is a strong focus in the market and offices on cost reduction."
  • "The pricing is on the higher side."
  • More Pega CRM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "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."
  • "I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
  • "The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
  • "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."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
