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 that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay. I like that it is a stable solution. My main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"Microsoft Dynamics is user-friendly and intuitive. It's easy to understand how it works."
"Integration with other Microsoft tools is a good feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a comprehensive solution and is well-integrated into other Microsoft solutions, including ERP solutions. Additionally, it is feature-rich."
"The support is brilliant. All OEMs are pretty helpful."
"The stability of the solution is high."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the out-of-the-box functionalities, particularly those around sales, field service, and project service, which are really good for medium customers, and the flexibility allowing users to change functionalities to fit specific business needs."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution."
"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

"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"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."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"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's customer support could be improved as tickets usually take a long time to resolve."
"The performance could be improved."
"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 cost varies on multiple factors including customization and the number of users."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"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."
