Featured Reviews

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.
Balaji  Choda - PeerSpot reviewer

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

Pros

"Integration with other Microsoft tools is a good feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"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."
"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."
"Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability."
"I like that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay. I like that it is a stable solution. My main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I have used many Microsoft solutions and I am comfortable using the solution. Additionally, it is secure."
"The most useful feature that this solution provides is the ability to make dashboards for the business easily as our company is managed using KPIs and metrics."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is case management and different configurations."
"The product is scalable. It works efficiently for changing existing features."
"Pega Customer Service is scalable."
"The technical support provided for all the solutions from Pega is of the same quality since they have their own internal teams and the same mechanisms, which are good for dealing with issues of different users."
 

Cons

"Previously, I used Dynamics, but it did not suit me, so I changed the CRM last year."
"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."
"This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement."
"I would suggest enhancements in customization and better integration for testing codes to improve the functionality of Dynamics CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's customer support could be improved as tickets usually take a long time to resolve."
"The tool should be micro-services-based. If it's not already implemented, the architecture could be enhanced by transitioning to a microservices-based model. This would allow each module to be managed independently, reducing downtime and enabling teams to work autonomously on specific services."
"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"In terms of the performance, when it comes to loading a large volume of data, it's slow at times, so the system could be optimized."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"Pega JVM function needs to be improved."
"The licensing cost could also be improved."
"The only concern I have seen about the product is its prices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"For the price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive a lot of comprehensive functionality. Additionally, it integrates very well. We pay approximately $100 a month to use the solution and we do not have any additional costs."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"My organization pays for the license, and I do not know how much it costs."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"The tool's pricing is flexible, and I rate it four to five out of ten."
"The solution provides licenses to users either based on the number of users or the number of cases that an end user creates."
