Cons
"Overall, the solution could be made to be more user friendly.""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.""The solution could improve by having better integration documentation.""Sometimes Microsoft's support can be difficult to contact, and it can take a while to get a response to a ticket.""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.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM is operational enough, in terms of frequency, but an area for improvement would be its dashboard. Currently, it's widget-like, so hopefully, it could be improved, particularly to allow you to create a custom dashboard using a query. A custom dashboard would make the solution better and is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM because right now, it only has a default dashboard, but maybe my account has limited access, so I can only see the default version of the dashboard.""From my experience, the solution's tech support could improve with a quicker response time.""Better integration would be an improvement."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cons →

"Sage CRM would benefit from improving its interaction with email communication sites and social media platforms in order to gather more leads.""The scalability of this solution depends on whether you have a team that can configure it for scale.""With regards to monitoring the transaction with alerts, it could be better.""I would like Sage to improve their UI.""Sage CRM doesn't have a dashboard for dynamic reporting.""Its user interface could be better.""From an improvement perspective, the ability to make modifications to the product needs to be more user-friendly."

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 →

  • "We have a yearly license."
  • "We pay for eight core modules and 20 user licenses and this costs us $1500 per year."
  • "From an African perspective, the solution is relatively expensive."
