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

"Our clients appreciate that the solution can be used to monitor everything their customer interacts with in their business."
"The stability of the solution is high."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its ease of use."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
"Integration with other Microsoft tools is a good feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Dynamics is easy to use. There are several fields I can filter."
"The stability is excellent."
"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

"There is room for improvement in handling nonlinear sales processes and complex quoting."
"This solution would be easier to use if everything was displayed on one page, to avoid moving from one tab to another tab to add documents or add comments."
"Microsoft Dynamics could have better note-taking capabilities. It should have more preset options where you enter notes by clicking a box instead of writing them out."
"Dynamic's management could be improved. The tech management should have better technical capabilities."
"Sometimes the technical support for Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not qualified enough, and in some situations, we know the tool better than they do."
"It lacks to provide a more detailed profile of the customer, which would have been better and more useful."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"Out of the box, the solution doesn't really have a desirable user experience. We have to set it up and customize it to meet our needs."
"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 is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"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 annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
