Has enabled seamless integration across platforms while supporting advanced analytics for customer insights
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

"The stability of the solution is high."
"The flexible design is highly usable, and I have seen time-saving benefits from using this solution."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"The most valuable feature is that because this solution uses the cloud, you only have to install it and allocate it to a user, making it quite easy to use."
"I have used many Microsoft solutions and I am comfortable using the solution. Additionally, it is secure."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Microsoft Team allows for a very dynamic workflow and integrates well with other Microsoft platforms."
"The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
"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

"I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience."
"In terms of the performance, when it comes to loading a large volume of data, it's slow at times, so the system could be optimized."
"Sometimes the technical support for Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not qualified enough, and in some situations, we know the tool better than they do."
"Dynamics could perform a little better, and it would be nice to save the filters I use frequently, so I don't need to do the same thing every day."
"It is difficult to qualify opportunity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"Chunky, UI isn't great, requires a lot of customization - so cost of ownership is high, feels like Salesforce is probably a better overall bet."
"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

"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"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 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."
"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. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"We have a three-year ELA with all our Microsoft solutions and often we had to do a true-up which was approximately $1,000,000. Additionally, we pay approximately $2,500 a month for support."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
