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

"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."
"It integrates well with other Microsoft products."
"I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job."
"The most useful feature that this solution provides is the ability to make dashboards for the business easily as our company is managed using KPIs and metrics."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
"Technical support is completely good."
"The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
"We use Microsoft Dynamics for all of our general CRM functions, including lead generation activity and leveraging the database with integration for sending out automated emails."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"The solution is scalable."
"Siebel offers a high level of customization which has been valuable. The solution also offers the ability to model complex products."
"EAI and workflows are the most valuable features."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
 

Cons

"The performance could be improved."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is operational enough, in terms of frequency, but an area for improvement would be its dashboard."
"It lacks to provide a more detailed profile of the customer, which would have been better and more useful."
"The overall price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's customer support could be improved as tickets usually take a long time to resolve."
"Better integration would be an improvement."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"The UI could be improved by being fully cloud native as this is what our customers are looking for. It would also be great to see what updates are coming up for release and for updates to take place automatically without manual intervention."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"Siebel is not user-friendly."
"Siebel CRM should improve its UI. Because it's all about the customer experience and how the customer experiences it, the internal customer is more important for CRM than the people handling the company. So, you get frustrated if you don't have a very good user interface and user experience."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a very comprehensive package. We get everything from Access to D 365. We get Microsoft's suite of tools. I'm not too sure about the pricing, but I can't imagine it being cheap."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
