Have struggled with support delays but have benefited from real-time tracking and reporting
I am not satisfied with the customized dashboard because there are many things that Microsoft could improve with their dashboards. Microsoft needs to work on the dashboard part for the CRM especially. The implementation partner should improve because in my organization, the company that implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM has not done a good job. Microsoft should know about their end customers, how they are doing, and what issues they are facing. Regarding integration with Office 365 and other Microsoft products, the Dynamics integration is good; there's no loophole between the connections. We are not using LinkedIn integration. Microsoft should have keen observation about their end customers, not just their partners. There are many partners globally, such as Gold partners or Platinum partners, and not everyone is accurate while implementing Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Microsoft should observe how end customers are using their product and provide tutorials so customers can communicate their needs to vendors or third-party partners. Connecting with end customers is necessary.

There is hardly any customization required for it, if implemented correctly. The UI needs improvement.
The UI: To train one user on SAP ECC takes at least two weeks. Though once familiarized, people can remember shortcuts and t-code for the change management is still high. Thanks to the vast majority of large organizations using SAP, the user adaption is a lot less if users come from SAP/GUI environments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has ability to control the management of all processes in the company, allowing good communication throughout entire departments."
"The modular approach to how Microsoft Dynamics is being deployed is what drove us to use it. You find that an organization would have, for example, only finance and HR, but in the future, they want to scale up the supply chain. They will later want to add procurement. The modular aspect is what was beneficial to us and influenced our decision to use Dynamics 365 on the cloud."
"I give the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"There is hardly any customization required for SAP, if you implement it correctly. ​​"
"FICO, especially newGL. It solves a lot of manual consolidation issues."
 

Cons

"There should have been a way where customer support is supported. This would ensure that the users can more easily find errors while dealing with their software activities."
"The current report is too broad and generalized to meet the needs of customers who require more detailed information."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Dynamics requires some expertise. The process is not user-friendly for beginners. If you know your way around Microsoft Dynamics, it's something you'd find intermediate. It's not easy but not difficult."
"The UI: To train one user on SAP ECC takes at least two weeks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required to use this solution. The prices can vary, depending on your setup and the number of users you have."
"The software is a bit expensive and some startup companies will be unable to use it despite its effective usage in management. This should be catered for and looked upon since it greatly affects some users who want to use the tool."
"I give the cost a two out of ten because it is an expensive solution."
"The cost of Dynamics NAV is a bit expensive. Most service packs cost thousands of dollars. However, it is a good software for managing your business activities and gives good results."
