Partner at a insurance company with 51-200 employees
Licenses are cheap if you are a Microsoft shop, but cost of ownership is high.
Valuable Features:
Licenses are cheap if you are a Microsoft shop, easy to to customize.
Room for Improvement:
Chunky, UI isn't great, requires a lot of customization - so cost of ownership is high, feels like Salesforce is probably a better overall bet.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
How is salesforce a better choice?
Microsoft Dynamics is the best solution for any organization. With Microsoft deploying cloud hosting even SMEs can afford and benefit from the features MS CRM has to offer on a pay per user licence. Also MS CRM is cheaper than Salesforce!
Salesforce may have more features available but actually how useful are the additional features?
