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.

Integration capabilities facilitate efficient data management and enhance customer service, but the analytics requires improvement
The analytics capabilities in Siebel CRM have presented numerous challenges. Due to these challenges, we had to integrate Microsoft Power BI. The CRM analytics was not sufficient for our needs, given that we have four million customers and a thousand products. We are currently focusing on the upgrade and discussing with Oracle. If there have been improvements in the analytics side over the past few years, we are open to evaluating them. Currently, all analytics are being done on Power BI. The data is exported to our data lake, and Power BI is being used for all reporting and analytics. Even our customer 360, which is the core of any CRM, has Power BI widgets built-in through iframe because we could not accomplish this through Siebel CRM. The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice to people looking into using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it's a good solution because if you're in a Microsoft environment, the solution has compatibility with different Microsoft products and features such as Office, Outlook, etc."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy to use, the UI is very good, and it has many capabilities."
"The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the out-of-the-box functionalities, particularly those around sales, field service, and project service, which are really good for medium customers, and the flexibility allowing users to change functionalities to fit specific business needs."
"The support is brilliant. All OEMs are pretty helpful."
"Microsoft Dynamics is user-friendly and intuitive. It's easy to understand how it works."
"Integration is the best feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It integrates quickly across multiple apps and has a lot of APIs available that you can link to. It's very customizable, so we're able to tailor it to a client's needs."
"It is quite robust and flexible; you can develop almost anything you want, and when you go into the tools, you can do anything you want."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel CRM has enhanced customer engagement for our organization, particularly through its robust data model and flexible features. One specific scenario where Siebel CRM excelled was in addressing complex client requirements. For instance, we successfully implemented a module for email responses, a feature that was not readily available or as robust as other CRM tools. Additionally, Siebel's open UI module allowed us to customize the user interface for one of our clients completely. This customization proved to be a major selling point for our company."
"It's very stable."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"The flexibility is very good."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
 

Cons

"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by adding more artificial intelligence. Additionally, they should add more modules, such as account-based management, that are available on other platforms such as salesforce.com."
"Better integration would be an improvement."
"They should work on improving the solution's scalability."
"My company's biggest challenge with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is wanting to market solely to leads without having to create a contact and link the contact to the lead. From a marketing standpoint, there's room for improvement in the lead process of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."
"The integration capability with other systems could be improved, particularly the Lead Generation system."
"Siebel is pricey compared to other CRM tools. Although it's a highly stable and functionally rich application, customers are not willing to pay that price for it."
"It is not easy to set up. It's a bit difficult."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"On a scale from one to ten with one being expensive and ten being of great value, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM at six on pricing."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"I think the tool’s pricing is exaggerated. Once you do the price sizing as per your business needs, you would find that the price of other solutions like Zoho CRM, HubSpot CRM, Salesforce CRM, etc. would be always the same."
"The price of Siebel CRM depends on the usage of the business requirement. For large enterprises the price it's very good but if you are using it for medium scale enterprises, the price is very expensive."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"This solution is expensive compared to other solutions in the market. This makes it difficult to convince our customers to use it. The customers who are already using Siebel have thought about moving to Velocity or Salesforce."
