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

"Dynamics is easy to use. There are several fields I can filter."
"The stability is excellent."
"Our clients appreciate that the solution can be used to monitor everything their customer interacts with in their business."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the accessibility of the service because we can access it either in the office or when we're out in the field."
"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 CRM is a comprehensive solution and is well-integrated into other Microsoft solutions, including ERP solutions. Additionally, it is feature-rich."
"My access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM is limited, so I can only access the feature of registering the pipeline and activities. That feature is enough for me to do the job, and is what I find most valuable in the 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

"I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience."
"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."
"I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making the ports and dashboards more intuitive using Microsoft Azure analytical features. Compared to Salesforce and other partners, the dashboards in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are less intuitive."
"The solution could improve by having better integration documentation."
"The options for customizing Microsoft Dynamics CRM are very limited or highly complex."
"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"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

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"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."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
