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 stable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the integration with Microsoft Office 365."
"One of the most useful features is we can configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM in the way that we need. This is configurable."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Dynamics is easy to use. There are several fields I can filter."
"It is good for sales and service maintenance. It has various integration tools."
"The stability is excellent."
"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

"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."
"The tool should be micro-services-based. If it's not already implemented, the architecture could be enhanced by transitioning to a microservices-based model. This would allow each module to be managed independently, reducing downtime and enabling teams to work autonomously on specific services."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"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."
"It would be a little bit easier if there were better ways to configure and modify native add-ins or plugins."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by adding more artificial intelligence. Additionally, they should add more modules, such as account-based management, that are available on other platforms such as salesforce.com."
"It lacks to provide a more detailed profile of the customer, which would have been better and more useful."
"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 is an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"The cost varies on multiple factors including customization and the number of users."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive 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."
"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."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
