Rishabh Chhajer - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive APIs, customizable design, but dashboards could improve
The most advantageous aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its periodic updates. Every quarter, Microsoft releases upgrades that address bugs and vulnerabilities. As a company governed by the Reserve Bank of India and SAP security regulations for our stock operations, we conduct periodic reviews of our applications, including Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Whenever we submit an audit report and identify bugs, we reach out to the Microsoft team for assistance. They assure us that the issues will be fixed in the next quarterly release. As a result, we have not experienced any outstanding bugs that have not been recorded or addressed.
Omair Bokhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality."
"This is a scalable solution."
"The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features."
"The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
"Integration with other Microsoft tools is a good feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Working with all Microsoft products from one platform is very useful."

"Oracle CRM is a versatile solution with many features and functionalities that makes it a suitable solution for many different business use cases."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."
"Oracle CRM accommodates client needs, potentially reducing licensing costs with a pay-as-you-go approach. It also allows for the standardization of processes and reporting, which is important for our organization. Additionally, integration through APIs improves connectivity."
"The solution is smooth, easy to use, easy to customize and it has many features. Plus, there are regular updates."
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"Case management, incident management, and request management features are valuable."
 

Cons

"The price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"Out of the box, the solution doesn't really have a desirable user experience. We have to set it up and customize it to meet our needs."
"The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
"Better integration would be an improvement."
"It could be less complicated for smaller organizations."
"The product's UI lags, and with all the new technologies, it is not quick enough to adopt them."
"In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic."
"A specialized team is required for managing Oracle, which is extra overhead for the customer."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"The licensing is expensive."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"Every year, we have new users, and we get new licenses. It depends on various things such as the number of users and expansion of our business lines."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
