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.
Julio Falcon - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization and process automation enhance support operations, but interface consistency could improve
At this time, there is not specifically something to improve regarding Service Creatio, but a couple of years ago, Creatio started developing a new version called Freedom UI with new interfaces. The new interfaces are amazing, but we still have some features in Classic UI that we cannot use in Freedom UI. What we miss is having all features in Classic available in Freedom. Creatio works every three months to release new features, but they are taking too much time to make all those features available. We could use more time. There are a lot of business rules we can use in Classic UI, but we cannot use many of those business rules in the Freedom UI because of the different interfaces. We miss several kinds of business rules or conditions that we could use in the design of the application or interfaces to the customer. For instance, I had a feature to introduce a formula graphically, but I can only use very basic formulas in the latest release. In Classic UI, we have powerful formulas, but in Freedom UI, I am limited to direct files from the current screen. The only thing I miss is having all the features from Classic UI available in Freedom UI. For instance, managing duplicated records is a feature that we can easily use in Classic UI, but in Freedom UI I cannot merge contacts to resolve duplicates, which is not available yet.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its ease of use."
"My access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM is limited, so I can only access the feature of registering the pipeline and activities. That feature is enough for me to do the job, and is what I find most valuable in the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the integration with Microsoft Office 365."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"I have used many Microsoft solutions and I am comfortable using the solution. Additionally, it is secure."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the flexibility with Microsoft Office 365."
"It is good for sales and service maintenance. It has various integration tools."
"Service Creatio is a great tool in process automation."
"You can draw a video map or draw on a piece of paper and put it in creation using the designer tool."
"Our customers have seen value and efficiency using this solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"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 main issue with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that its GUI isn't very attractive. Overall, the solution has the same functionalities as other CRMs such as Salesforce, but Salesforce is much simpler to use. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is complicated to use, and this is another area for improvement. It was also more difficult to set up the solution, so its setup could still be improved. What I'd like to see in the next version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a cleaner user interface because currently, it looks messy to me. Salesforce CRM has a better, more simplified user interface that makes it easier for you to get what you need, while in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you have to put in a lot of effort to get things done."
"The overall price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"The product is very old."
"The installation was difficult. I'm not the person that implements the solution. However, to have the solution function in the correct way, the process can be difficult."
"We would like to see the tech support for this product improved, at present we are frequently waiting for a couple of days before we receive any response."
"The customer self-portal is not good. Service Creatio has a special capability for external customers and users to access the web portal, but we had to use third-party solutions developed by us."
"Despite me telling them that Service Creatio has many certifications to protect data, they chose on-premise, which has created issues, as they must be responsible for updates, upgrades, and new releases."
"The return material authorization should utilize no-code or low-code."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"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."
"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."
