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 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."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"This is a scalable solution."
"The CRM is very fast, with customization and integration options, and easy migration."
"Technical support is completely good."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution."
"Easy and fast to implement, very flexible to be able to meet our business needs, and low cost licensing."
"For the price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive a lot of comprehensive functionality."
"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

"The price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"During a period of time, restoring data and maintaining it could be better in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"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."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"Sometimes Microsoft's support can be difficult to contact, and it can take a while to get a response to a ticket."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"More complicated to manage when using with Outlook and SharePoint."
"However, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"I am not the person who pays for Microsoft Dynamics CRM but it is expensive. I have been using Microsoft Azure, which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is built on, and I know we prepaid for the services. For me as a consumer, I do not think I can afford it, mainly because I am only learning how to use the AI and the rate which they charge is high. In general, Microsoft solutions are expensive and this is most likely due to the brand, this is something you expect. However, the price might be high but you receive a highly secure solution."
"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 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."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
