Intuitive APIs, customizable design, but dashboards could improve
The most advantageous aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its periodic updates. Every quarter, Microsoft releases upgrades that address bugs and vulnerabilities. As a company governed by the Reserve Bank of India and SAP security regulations for our stock operations, we conduct periodic reviews of our applications, including Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Whenever we submit an audit report and identify bugs, we reach out to the Microsoft team for assistance. They assure us that the issues will be fixed in the next quarterly release. As a result, we have not experienced any outstanding bugs that have not been recorded or addressed.

Offers different categories, and each is specialized by market (corporate, consumer, etc.) and line of business (consumer, corporate, or small business)
There are different categories of features. * One category is account information. Under account information, we have contact details, contact history, employment details, limits, card replacements, and card features. * Another category is card features, which include account features, benefit factors, business development services, automation teams, and promotions. There are different categories like this, and each is specialized by market (corporate, consumer, etc.) and line of business (consumer, corporate, or small business). The market can be in APAC, EMEA, or the UK. It's designed so that each task can be specialized by market and line of business.
