Featured Reviews

Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"When you have a vanilla, straightforward version, it is easy to use."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"We are able to effectively follow up on requests, ensuring all customer issues are resolved in a timely manner. This solution provides a platform where there is visibility of all customer interactions, with efficient follow-up."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a very nice UI, and is very easy to use. It's easy to install, has a lot of features, and provides good technical support."
"The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature."
"Microsoft Dynamics is user-friendly and intuitive. It's easy to understand how it works."
"The solution's return on investment is worth it."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to create web pages with ease."
 

Cons

"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"I would suggest enhancements in customization and better integration for testing codes to improve the functionality of Dynamics CRM."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"From my experience, the solution's tech support could improve with a quicker response time."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
"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 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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by having integration with Slack. Additionally, the solution is incomplete, and we must use other solutions to fulfill our needs."
"In a few scenarios, Sitecore DMS works slowly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"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."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"For the price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive a lot of comprehensive functionality. Additionally, it integrates very well. We pay approximately $100 a month to use the solution and we do not have any additional costs."
"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."
