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.

A scalable low-code platform with an easy initial setup phase
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The stability of Pega Sales Automation depends upon how an IT architecture is built, and because of this, I can say that users would experience no downtimes in an IT environment with high-availability servers. With Pega Sales Automation, I haven't seen any downtimes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution; we never had any problems, it was always running well."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the integration with Microsoft Office 365."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting tab."
"There are many other exciting features in MS Dynamics CRM 2015 version, promising outstanding customer experiences."
"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 solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its ease of use."
"The initial setup of Pega Sales Automation was easy since it is a tool meant for sales-related activities, and moreover, it is a very low-code tool."
 

Cons

"Out of the box, the solution doesn't really have a desirable user experience. We have to set it up and customize it to meet our needs."
"When it comes to any necessary changes or updates, we have issues. It is not very agnostic in terms of working with other platforms. A lot of data transformation had to be done internally in order to send it to various systems."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"Previously, I used Dynamics, but it did not suit me, so I changed the CRM last year."
"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 lacks to provide a more detailed profile of the customer, which would have been better and more useful."
"I want Pega Sales Automation to provide users with more predictive and adaptive models and on how to get a forecast of upcoming leads since these two are areas where the solution lacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
