Easy to use and integrates well with emails, WhatsApp, and SMS gateways
The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature. The solution's campaign feature allows you to collate a group of customers and the frequency of email notifications sent to them. You can put an advertising budget for a series of customers, whereby high net-worth individuals will be marketed for high-end products. Low-end customers will be in a different campaign. So, we run campaigns on different sectors of customers. One of the solution's good features is integration because it directly integrates with Microsoft tools. Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Teams are built into it. The solution gives a varied network of text and email gateways, which are already integrated and come with the package.

Comes with complaint management feature but improvement is needed in UI
We use the solution in sales and phone banking. We use its marketing module. It also helps us with analytics because we have the Customer 360 built into it The tool's complaint management feature is very good. We used a CRM before, which lacked the integrations, so complaints had to be handled…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a good solution for enterprise-level companies."
"Integration with other Microsoft tools is a good feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The solution is versatile and customizable."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use and can work with any Microsoft solution without problems."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality."
"The stability is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are all the filters and possible reports."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"The flexibility is very good."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is quite robust and flexible. You can develop almost anything you want. You go into the tools, and you can do anything you want."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"The best thing about the tool is its data model. The underlying data model refers to how the data is stored in databases. We can also experience the ease of developing anything with the tool. We can customize any functionality as per any business challenge."
 

Cons

"The UI and GUI could be improved."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."
"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."
"It would be better if it were more secure."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by adding more artificial intelligence. Additionally, they should add more modules, such as account-based management, that are available on other platforms such as salesforce.com."
"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"The problem with Siebel is that everything is customizable in it. It's probably over-engineered, which makes it difficult to use, and it makes it difficult for the users to get started with the system."
"The UI could be improved by being fully cloud native as this is what our customers are looking for. It would also be great to see what updates are coming up for release and for updates to take place automatically without manual intervention."
"Oracle needs to improve its support. The major drawback I've observed with Siebel CRM is that Oracle hasn't taken appropriate steps to improve it since 2019. We noticed a steep downfall because Oracle was slow to roll out upgrades like Open UI. By the time these upgrades were available, the market had shifted to cloud solutions, which competitors were already providing much earlier."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"It is difficult to set up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"We have a three-year ELA with all our Microsoft solutions and often we had to do a true-up which was approximately $1,000,000. Additionally, we pay approximately $2,500 a month for support."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"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."
"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."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"This solution is expensive compared to other solutions in the market. This makes it difficult to convince our customers to use it. The customers who are already using Siebel have thought about moving to Velocity or Salesforce."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of Siebel CRM depends on the usage of the business requirement. For large enterprises the price it's very good but if you are using it for medium scale enterprises, the price is very expensive."
"I think the tool’s pricing is exaggerated. Once you do the price sizing as per your business needs, you would find that the price of other solutions like Zoho CRM, HubSpot CRM, Salesforce CRM, etc. would be always the same."
