Customizable and easy to deploy, but requires an SI for effective use.

Valuable Features:

Highly customizable. Easy initial deployment.

Room for Improvement:

Not structured for small Bussiness. Most likely will need a systems integrator for effective use.

Agree with the reviewer, as the cost of ownership is high its not suitable for small businesses. Several features are good like Integration with Outlook.

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.

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?

CRM that integrates well with other systems and provides control of process from end to end
Pros and Cons
  • "The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features."
  • "This solution would be easier to use if everything was displayed on one page, to avoid moving from one tab to another tab to add documents or add comments."

What is most valuable?

The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features. 

What needs improvement?

This solution would be easier to use if everything was displayed on one page, to avoid moving from one tab to another tab to add documents or add comments.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for 5 months. The setup took one year. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not straightforward. It took a year to configure Dynamics because it's not very intuitive. We had to hire assistance for certain parts of the setup.

What other advice do I have?

This solution integrates well with other systems. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
