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

"Working with all Microsoft products from one platform is very useful."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the integration with Microsoft Office 365."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
"The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy to use, the UI is very good, and it has many capabilities."
"The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its ease of use."
"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

"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 improvement in simplifying the setup and configuration process, which can be relatively complex when we want all features to work properly."
"The integration capability with other systems could be improved, particularly the Lead Generation system."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in handling nonlinear sales processes and complex quoting."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"Its performance also needs improvement, particularly because its screens hang while querying data."
"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

"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"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 solution is expensive."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"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 an expensive solution."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
