Intuitive APIs, customizable design, but dashboards could improve
The most advantageous aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its periodic updates. Every quarter, Microsoft releases upgrades that address bugs and vulnerabilities. As a company governed by the Reserve Bank of India and SAP security regulations for our stock operations, we conduct periodic reviews of our applications, including Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Whenever we submit an audit report and identify bugs, we reach out to the Microsoft team for assistance. They assure us that the issues will be fixed in the next quarterly release. As a result, we have not experienced any outstanding bugs that have not been recorded or addressed.

Helps in creating web pages efficiently and has a simple setup process
We can provide access to specific authors and developers to particular DMS. It is complicated to integrate Sitecore with existing technologies. However, it is not that difficult to learn. I advise others to make a purchase decision depending on the particular use cases. It is suitable for hosting basic websites without e-commerce plugins. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dynamics is easy to use. There are several fields I can filter."
"My access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM is limited, so I can only access the feature of registering the pipeline and activities. That feature is enough for me to do the job, and is what I find most valuable in the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its ease of use."
"The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
"The stability of the solution is high."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting tab."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the flexibility with Microsoft Office 365."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to create web pages with ease."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The overall price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in handling nonlinear sales processes and complex quoting."
"The UI/UX needs improvement as it is not intuitive from day one."
"If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal."
"In a few scenarios, Sitecore DMS works slowly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost varies on multiple factors including customization and the number of users."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"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."
