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 solution is scalable."
"I like that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay; I like that it is a stable solution, and my main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use and can work with any Microsoft solution without problems."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM was more reliable than Spiceworks, which is what caused us to switch."
"The feature I like best in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is being able to market to segments instead of choosing individual people to market to."
"Working with all Microsoft products from one platform is very useful."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good software because it has a lot of features."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its performance."
"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

"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having better integration documentation."
"One of the biggest challenges is that there is a huge disconnect between, "The business wants this data available," and making that data available in our systems."
"The solution should improve the user experience in the process of creating and activating offers."
"We would like to see the tech support for this product improved, at present we are frequently waiting for a couple of days before we receive any response."
"They should work on improving the solution's scalability."
"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

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"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 solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"It is a very comprehensive package. We get everything from Access to D 365. We get Microsoft's suite of tools. I'm not too sure about the pricing, but I can't imagine it being cheap."
