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

"I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job."
"It's been very helpful in ensuring that we're able to provide the best of services and provide responses to whatever queries we get from all our customers."
"Microsoft is very good in this regard."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use and can work with any Microsoft solution without problems."
"The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
"The flexible design is highly usable, and I have seen time-saving benefits from using this solution."
"The integration with the Microsoft suite, such as Office 365 and SharePoint, offers significant benefits for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, as ninety percent of organizations are already on the Microsoft suite, leading to quick integration and system setup."
"It ensures that there's continuity, and you don't have to start asking the customer about what happened. From CRM, you can easily see all the interactions and events in the record and take it from there."
"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

"From my experience, the solution's tech support could improve with a quicker response time."
"The setup with other email servers, other than Microsoft Outlook, could be improved. Alternatively, we'd like to have some feature that allows us to send emails directly from our inboxes to the CRM and assign it to a certain client."
"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."
"This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly and having a better design."
"I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience."
"In terms of the performance, when it comes to loading a large volume of data, it's slow at times, so the system could be optimized."
"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 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."
"On a scale from one to ten with one being expensive and ten being of great value, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM at six on pricing."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
