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.
Hitesh Kunchakuri - PeerSpot reviewer
A reasonably stable and scalable tool to manage human resources, payroll, and expenses of a business
There are multiple options in the product that are improving quarterly by considering the user feedback Oracle receives from its multiple clients. I am not exactly sure about the improvements made in the product since I have not been working with the solution for the past four to six months. The area where employees' personal and contact information is called the person management section in the HR module of Oracle Fusion Service, has shortcomings where improvements are required. Sometimes, there are some issues with the areas around national identifiers in the product, so our company has to add multiple national identifiers. Though a person from the USA works in some other country, and that person has every valid document of the residing country, the product sometimes gives some trouble to access the information. The product's option to upload payroll data doesn't work seamlessly. It would be great if there was an option to do internal calculations in the product since sometimes, in our company, we have to calculate all the fields manually in Excel and then upload them in the application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dynamics is easy to use. There are several fields I can filter."
"Working with all Microsoft products from one platform is very useful."
"The most valuable features are the integration capabilities with other third-party software. It has an easy user interface and in terms of security, it has permission-based access for different users."
"The support is brilliant. All OEMs are pretty helpful."
"Integration is the best feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It integrates quickly across multiple apps and has a lot of APIs available that you can link to. It's very customizable, so we're able to tailor it to a client's needs."
"The solution is versatile and customizable."
"The solution's return on investment is worth it."
"It integrates well with other Microsoft products."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that a company can maintain all of its HR data without any issues."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that customers can easily understand it."
"Everything is managed by Oracle, so they have security in place."
"Oracle offers a wide range of applications, each capable of delivering significant value to our business."
"It supports various APIs and connectors, enabling seamless communication with other systems, including both Oracle products and third-party applications."
"The product's most valuable feature is an efficient fusion of finance and HR modules."
"The solution is completely cloud-based and very easy to access from anywhere."
"Oracle Fusion's scalability and flexibility are its most valuable features."
 

Cons

"This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
"It could be less complicated for smaller organizations."
"This is a good tool, but if you don't have experience using a CRM solution, there are a lot of things you'll need to learn. This tool needs to be more user-friendly."
"The manufacturing module could be improved. I would like to see customization in the next release."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve the built-in reports. The ones that are included are pretty generic unless you subscribe to Microsoft BI, which is an extra fee. They should offer the reports without having to purchase a separate subscription for Microsoft BI. However, the reports in Microsoft BI are fantastic."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its end user feedback. It's still not that great compared to Salesforce. They also need to improve on the look and feel of the solution, because those are still slightly better on Salesforce."
"The product's initial setup phase was very difficult."
"We built some custom code to make a few functions easier. Oracle needs to look at what the customers do and integrate them into the product."
"One suggestion I have is to shorten the IT team's response time. When we submit an ASR or similar request, it takes a while to receive a response, and this can be seen as a drawback."
"Lacks the ability to deploy custom code for customization."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"There are specific areas that would be beneficial to enhance and improve, especially its financial functionality, search capabilities, chat features, and content articles."
"The user interface and user experience (UI/UX) need significant improvement, especially in the older on-premises versions."
"Delivering the solution to clients can be quite complex and requires highly trained technicians with expertise."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"I am not the person who pays for Microsoft Dynamics CRM but it is expensive. I have been using Microsoft Azure, which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is built on, and I know we prepaid for the services. For me as a consumer, I do not think I can afford it, mainly because I am only learning how to use the AI and the rate which they charge is high. In general, Microsoft solutions are expensive and this is most likely due to the brand, this is something you expect. However, the price might be high but you receive a highly secure solution."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"The product has average pricing."
"Oracle Fusion Service is a cheap and flexible solution."
"This is definitely an expensive product compared to others on the market."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Licensing fees are on the higher end and I rate them an eight out of ten."
"Oracle Fusion Service is more expensive than Workday."
"Oracle's pricing is quite high, and this cost can be a significant barrier, especially for smaller companies."
"There are no extra licenses, everything is included in the subscription, and the price is fixed."
