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.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has plenty of valuable features."
"The solution is versatile and customizable."
"The solution's return on investment is worth it."
"Technical support is completely good."
"It ensures that there's continuity, and you don't have to start asking the customer about what happened. From CRM, you can easily see all the interactions and events in the record and take it from there."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
"Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability."
"During the demos, Oracle CRM's natural language search feature stood out to me. It departs from the traditional menu-based options, making searches more intuitive. Another significant feature is their Common Data Platform. Including an accounting package as part of the full platform was also appealing."
"It's very easy to find any customer-related data."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."
"It has a wide variety of use cases."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"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."
 

Cons

"During a period of time, restoring data and maintaining it could be better in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making it easier to export data to SharePoint because most of our customers use SharePoint. They have to log into a Microsoft environment platform from their SharePoint for access should be made easier. Additionally, if the customer portal was enhanced for it to be customized it would be a benefit."
"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."
"It would be better if it were more secure."
"The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"This solution would be easier to use if everything was displayed on one page, to avoid moving from one tab to another tab to add documents or add comments."
"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"The licensing is expensive."
"The one thing that I hate about it is when you pay for services for a certain amount of time, the service ends just before it should be over. For example, I may pay for a month of service, but it will tell me the service is over before the month ends."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"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."
"Getting technical support from Oracle involved going through commercial layers, which could sometimes cause delays. The attention received depended on the client's status and spending with Oracle. Clients with significant spending received global attention and a corporate account manager, while those with lower spending had to work with a local account manager, which wasn't always beneficial. This process could lead to delays in getting technical issues resolved. I am not satisfied with its support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"My organization pays for the license, and I do not know how much it costs."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"Compared to alternative solutions Oracle CRM is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"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."
