Chief Digital Officer at Cipher7
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.

Freelancer at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Has efficient automation features and the ability to integrate with multiple systems
The initial setup is quite difficult for the latest versions from 2020 and beyond and can take about four to five hours. It can now be deployed on the cloud. Oracle offers the same images for on-premise and cloud deployments, making it easy to switch between the two. I created the docker image using VM and completed the setup in a few hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I use Microsoft Dynamics CRM for direct pipeline sales and for administration tools to keep the whole sales environment together."
"Highly customizable."
"Our clients appreciate that the solution can be used to monitor everything their customer interacts with in their business."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"We have received a high ROI from using Microsoft Dynamics CRM considering it's such a vital part of our organization's entire operations and its ability to consistently be upgraded to have new features and benefits and integrations with emerging software."
"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 has to be its interface...Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a user-friendly platform."
"I would recommend this solution to others."
"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
 

Cons

"It lacks to provide a more detailed profile of the customer, which would have been better and more useful."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"It is difficult to qualify opportunity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The solution's interface has room for improvement."
"The solution should improve the user experience in the process of creating and activating offers."
"The solution could improve by having better integration documentation."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve the built-in reports. The ones that are included are pretty generic unless you subscribe to Microsoft BI, which is an extra fee. They should offer the reports without having to purchase a separate subscription for Microsoft BI. However, the reports in Microsoft BI are fantastic."
"The manufacturing module could be improved. I would like to see customization in the next release."
"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"The customers that have Microsoft Office 365, the license price is competitive. It is competitive because the next solution above it is Salesforce, which is licensed quite high. The price annually was approximately $55 per user but we did a combination of users with some of them having the higher range of approximately $85."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"My organization pays for the license, and I do not know how much it costs."
"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."
"The platform is expensive."
