Customizable, easy to configure, and reliable
My company is considered a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using right now. It's a company that offers lots of user manuals and you can find most of your stuff there before starting development. I'd advise potential new users to go through everything. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team. It's a system that includes everything related to the client and you can see everything under one screen without having a different product or system. It's been great, for the most part.

"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service has valuable customization features."
"It is a stable product."
"There was a situation where we needed to integrate our system with other platforms quickly. Typically, this process would require using middleware or additional testing tools. However, integration was easy because we were using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, which is a Microsoft product. It has built-in connectors that integrate with Microsoft systems, making the process much easier."

Cons

"I am looking forward to the support function."
"The product doesn’t meet standard functionality. There should be enough features included in it."
"I didn't like the solution very much because its functionality is a bit typical and old-fashioned, and the entire system needs upgrading."
"The platform’s UI could be better."
"The solution could better integrate with other enterprise solutions."
"I believe enhancing the user interface to improve user experience and simplifying customization processes would enhance the platform."
"They could add a new chart or dashboard for visualization in the product."

"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."

"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more expensive than other vendors."
"The tool is a bit on the expensive side if we purchase it individually."
"The solution has a corporate enterprise license, which large corporations sign."
"The product's licensing is straightforward. It's user-based, so you decide how many users you want to license, and that's it. On the value-for-money scale, it's average. You do get what you pay for, so I wouldn't call it expensive."
"It is a decent price compared to multiple vendors and products available in the market."
"The pricing seems fair."
