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

"Since we started using this platform, we have been able to ensure all communications trials with our customers are documented."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its performance."
"I use Microsoft Dynamics CRM for direct pipeline sales and for administration tools to keep the whole sales environment together."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"It is a good platform for sales and service maintenance, I strongly recommend using it, many integration tools are available, and various upgrades are coming, and its ROI is also good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
"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 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

"We would like to see the tech support for this product improved, at present we are frequently waiting for a couple of days before we receive any response."
"We use Microsoft Dynamics CRM in Africa because we did not have an SAP partner in the region. However, there is now a partner in North Africa, so we will be migrating all of the Microsoft Dynamics to SAP."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve the built-in reports. The ones that are included are pretty generic unless you subscribe to Microsoft BI, which is an extra fee. They should offer the reports without having to purchase a separate subscription for Microsoft BI. However, the reports in Microsoft BI are fantastic."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly and having a better design."
"The initial setup is not straightforward. It took a year to configure Dynamics because it's not very intuitive."
"The solution should improve the user experience in the process of creating and activating offers."
"It would be a little bit easier if there were better ways to configure and modify native add-ins or plugins."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"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

"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"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."
