Featured Reviews

Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
NaveedUddin - PeerSpot reviewer
A streamlined and customizable ERP solution with a user-friendly interface, modular flexibility, cost-effective licensing, and a comprehensive suite of integrated business applications
Our country, Pakistan, seems to have limited support compared to other regions. Currently, the regional office is in Dubai, and I believe it would be beneficial to establish a regional office in Pakistan to enhance support and accessibility for users in our country. There is room for improvement in their mobile app. While it is generally user-friendly, it frequently encounters glitches and issues and I suggest that the mobile application be enhanced in future updates to make it more interactive and reliable.

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 has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution's return on investment is worth it."
"Compared to other partners, the most valuable aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its intuitive APIs, which are customizable and allow for the addition of multiple parameters and attributes. This feature enhances the purpose call in our services. Additionally, the learning curve for contact center agents using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is shorter than with other solution providers. Finally, the commercial aspects of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are superior to those of other solution providers."
"I have used many Microsoft solutions and I am comfortable using the solution. Additionally, it is secure."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy to use, the UI is very good, and it has many capabilities."
"For me, the most helpful functionalities in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are customer engagement, contact management, opportunity management, and order management. The service management features, including ticket management and handling complaints from the call center, are also very useful. One of the key benefits is the faster time to market, as it allows for quicker product delivery and better customer management. The tool also improves customer interaction through the service center, leading to better adherence to KPIs."
"It integrates well with other Microsoft products."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
"It is a scalable solution...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Odoo is open source, so we can develop it and adjust it to our requirements. It's easy to work with."
"The versatility of Odoo is one of its most valuable features for business productivity. It offers modules for purchase, inventory, manufacturing, sales, help desk, timesheets, point of sale, email marketing, and more, which can greatly benefit businesses."
"With Odoo, being open source is advantageous because we have access to the source code for whatever we develop. This gives us the flexibility to make additions, deletions, or modifications according to our needs without any restrictions. There are no predefined formats that limit our customization options."
"Odoo is a cost-effective tool for performing core ERP functions, such as inventory management. It's also good for manufacturing use cases."
"Odoo is flexible and serves us quite well. Its interface has improved."
"Odoo is widespread in a lot of different industries, and the most powerful feature of Odoo in the manufacturing industry is the forecast."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need."
"During a period of time, restoring data and maintaining it could be better in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is operational enough, in terms of frequency, but an area for improvement would be its dashboard. Currently, it's widget-like, so hopefully, it could be improved, particularly to allow you to create a custom dashboard using a query. A custom dashboard would make the solution better and is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM because right now, it only has a default dashboard, but maybe my account has limited access, so I can only see the default version of the dashboard."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in handling nonlinear sales processes and complex quoting."
"The overall price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"The solution's interface has room for improvement."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"The solution's reporting could be improved."
"The user interface is not the best."
"There are features that cannot be opened in the community edition and from a user perspective."
"They could thoroughly study the market dynamics of different regions and connecting areas."
"The price of the solution could be reduced to improve the overall offering."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo's technical support."
"There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"Microsoft often encourages customers to commit to multi-year enterprise-level agreements, such as three or five-year deals with a minimum commitment of, for example, $200,000 dollars. However, in order to acquire more customers, I believe Microsoft should offer this same rate for one-year commitments for customers who want to experience it."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"The solution is not expensive."
"They offer three packages – free, standard, and custom."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"Odoo is straightforward in terms of costs. You pay the vendor for both the software and implementation. We selected one of the twelve certified vendors for implementation in our local area, opting for the vendor named Four Zero Five."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one means high price, and ten means low price, I rate Odoo's pricing a five or six out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Odoo's pricing a six out of ten."
"It is very affordable for any type of business. And this is one of the main advantages of Odoo. Small businesses can subscribe and this is a very good feature."
