Pawel-Gawronski - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlining resource management and improving project insights with helpful support
The deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy because it's a software as a service, which eliminates the need to deploy anything in our data center. It has improved the verification of value streams by mapping projects to products and demonstrating the total cost of ownership. This automation significantly impacts daily operations by reducing the time spent on manual tasks and improving the quality and delivery time.
Uday Kiran B - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything
The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its performance."
"The stability of the solution is high."
"Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it is a low-code platform and we can perform business process management."
"Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout."
"The integration with other systems is easy."
"It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive."
"CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything."
"The solution integrates well."
"It covers sales very well."
"the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful."
"In my experience, the most valuable feature of Oracle CX Sales varies depending on the vertical of the business you're in. Oracle offers industry-specific products tailored to different sectors. However, the sales cycles and methods remain largely consistent across the board."
 

Cons

"A built-in automation engine to automate parts of workflows would be beneficial. That's the feature I'd be most happy to see expanded. It's currently tagged as simple automation, but I'd love some predictive capability."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly and having a better design. I have used Service Desk and it is not user-friendly but this solution is worse. The graphical interface is not intuitive, you need someone to guide you or you will have difficulties navigating around to find the file you need. The data we are normally dealing with is boring enough and the interface could be more attractive and more exciting. The tabs and arrangement could be done better to be more user-friendly. Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are fine and Microsoft should extend their user-friendliness and intuitiveness to Microsoft Dynamics."
"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"The main issue with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that its GUI isn't very attractive. Overall, the solution has the same functionalities as other CRMs such as Salesforce, but Salesforce is much simpler to use. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is complicated to use, and this is another area for improvement. It was also more difficult to set up the solution, so its setup could still be improved. What I'd like to see in the next version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a cleaner user interface because currently, it looks messy to me. Salesforce CRM has a better, more simplified user interface that makes it easier for you to get what you need, while in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you have to put in a lot of effort to get things done."
"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."
"The options for customizing Microsoft Dynamics CRM are very limited or highly complex."
"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."
"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."
"The address fields can be limiting on a global scale, with issues like long addresses and different styles for pin codes."
"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."
"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."
"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."
"Support is very poor."
"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."
 

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."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"The customers that have Microsoft Office 365, the license price is competitive. It is competitive because the next solution above it is Salesforce, which is licensed quite high. The price annually was approximately $55 per user but we did a combination of users with some of them having the higher range of approximately $85."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"The product is pricey."
"Pricing is based on licensing. They offer three different levels: basic, advanced, and enterprise. While I haven't checked the pricing recently, they often provide good discounts on the product."
"It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
"It's expensive, but worth the money."
"The price is reasonable."
"The product pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
