Microsoft Dynamics CRM doesn't provide solutions that allow you to transform easily if you have a heterogeneous mix of technologies or if your contact center is on analog and you try to digitize it. A lot of custom work is needed if you have to integrate heterogeneous technologies with the Microsoft suite, but if you are using the Microsoft suite, then it's quite seamless. Microsoft Dynamics CRM should add commercial models that allow smaller companies to use it because it can get pretty expensive. Better commercial options for smaller implementations may be helpful. There should be commercial options for smaller companies, as the overheads and costs of Dynamics can be quite high.

A scalable low-code platform with an easy initial setup phase
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The stability of Pega Sales Automation depends upon how an IT architecture is built, and because of this, I can say that users would experience no downtimes in an IT environment with high-availability servers. With Pega Sales Automation, I haven't seen any downtimes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job."
"One of the most useful features is we can configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM in the way that we need. This is configurable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use and can work with any Microsoft solution without problems."
"The solution is versatile and customizable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its integration with Outlook and other Microsoft products like Microsoft 365, which includes emails, Teams, and SharePoint."
"Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
"The initial setup of Pega Sales Automation was easy since it is a tool meant for sales-related activities, and moreover, it is a very low-code tool."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM needs to improve its integrations."
"Many customers feel the overheads of cost and ROI are not present, prompting them to consider migrating out of Microsoft Dynamics CRM or minimizing their footprint to manage costs effectively, especially in sectors such as banking and airline."
"From my experience, the solution's tech support could improve with a quicker response time."
"Sometimes the technical support for Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not qualified enough, and in some situations, we know the tool better than they do."
"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."
"I want Pega Sales Automation to provide users with more predictive and adaptive models and on how to get a forecast of upcoming leads since these two are areas where the solution lacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
