Easy to use and integrates well with emails, WhatsApp, and SMS gateways
The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature. The solution's campaign feature allows you to collate a group of customers and the frequency of email notifications sent to them. You can put an advertising budget for a series of customers, whereby high net-worth individuals will be marketed for high-end products. Low-end customers will be in a different campaign. So, we run campaigns on different sectors of customers. One of the solution's good features is integration because it directly integrates with Microsoft tools. Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Teams are built into it. The solution gives a varied network of text and email gateways, which are already integrated and come with the package.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It was stable."
"The most valuable feature is that because this solution uses the cloud, you only have to install it and allocate it to a user, making it quite easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature."
"The most valuable features are the integration capabilities with other third-party software. It has an easy user interface and in terms of security, it has permission-based access for different users."
"The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
"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."
"Technical support is completely good."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
 

Cons

"One area of improvement is the UI and UX, which could be more upgraded."
"The product is very old."
"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."
"From my experience, the solution's tech support could improve with a quicker response time."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM needs to improve its integrations."
"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."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"I would suggest enhancements in customization and better integration for testing codes to improve the functionality of Dynamics CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."
