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

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy to use, the UI is very good, and it has many capabilities."
"It integrates well with other Microsoft products."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the accessibility of the service because we can access it either in the office or when we're out in the field."
"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."
"One of the most useful features is we can configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM in the way that we need."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the integration with Microsoft Office 365."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"Siebel CRM has a strong database model, workflow and integration tools."
"It's very stable."
"Siebel is easy to configure and comes with various pre-built industry verticals, so it doesn't require much effort."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"We moved from an excel sheet to Siebel so it did help us initially in digitizing CRM related business processes and was positioned as single source of truth for CRM."
 

Cons

"One of the biggest challenges is that there is a huge disconnect between, "The business wants this data available," and making that data available in our systems."
"This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement."
"Microsoft Dynamics could have better note-taking capabilities. It should have more preset options where you enter notes by clicking a box instead of writing them out."
"Sometimes the technical support for Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not qualified enough, and in some situations, we know the tool better than they do."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"Previously, I used Dynamics, but it did not suit me, so I changed the CRM last year."
"The manufacturing module could be improved. I would like to see customization in the next release."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and modern. The Oracle Siebel documentation contains many links, and finding specific information takes time."
"Siebel is pricey compared to other CRM tools. That's the problem. Although it's a highly stable and functionally rich application, customers are not willing to pay that price for it. Customers can find CRM software that gives them similar functionality at a lower price. There are so many others on the market like Salesforce."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"Siebel CRM can improve as an ERP and for a few corporate business workloads."
"It is difficult to set up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"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."
"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 product is expensive."
"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."
"Its licensing is yearly."
