The flexible design is highly usable, and I have seen time-saving benefits from using this solution.

During a period of time, restoring data and maintaining it could be better in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Neutral

Before Microsoft Dynamics CRM, we used our own old solution. We switched to Microsoft Dynamics CRM due to its greater flexibility.

The initial setup of Microsoft Dynamics CRM was in between straightforward and complex.

The deployment was carried out by a consultant.

The pricing and licensing model we use is Enterprise licensing.

I would recommend Microsoft Dynamics CRM as it is very usable.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

The salespeople in our organization use the product. It is connected to SAP. Our consultants use many of the customized features.

The product is quite good. The product is user-friendly.

The product is very old. We just pray that it works somehow. The product must be integrated with the cloud.

I have been using the solution for ten years.

The tool’s stability is good, but it is old. So, we might have to replace it.

We have 50 users in our organization. The tool is scalable.

We used SAP CRM. It was very problematic, so we switched to Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

I would recommend the solution to others. It is a simple tool. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Dynamics CRM for our opportunity tracking system. Anytime we have sales opportunities, we integrate the solution with our quoting software. The quote is generated and all the details flow into our Microsoft Dynamics CRM, which then builds our pipeline. We're able to integrate it with other Microsoft forms and our Dynamics SL Accounting system.

When a sale is made or an award is given it is entered into the Dynamics SL Accounting system and we filter the sales report which helps us do better forecasting for our financials for the year.

The most valuable features are the integration capabilities with other third-party software. It has an easy user interface and in terms of security, it has permission-based access for different users.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need.

I have been using Microsoft Dynamics CRM for approximately three years. My company has been using the solution for approximately seven years.

The stability of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is fairly good, it doesn't tend to break, it has reliable access. We have a number of users all working remotely, it handles and balances the workloads.

There are some challenges with stability for Microsoft Dynamics CRM. However, we could not be fully utilizing the features to archive. For example, when using list items there is a lot of times we have data that goes in, and it just stays there. It's a manual process to remove some of the items. It would be good to have some kind of a better cleanup and archiving function.

I haven't dealt with the tech support. I know that Microsoft tends to be not the easiest to deal with. You have to keep paying more for higher levels of Premium Support instead of having support from the beginning.

The initial setup is somewhat complex.

We have received a high ROI from using Microsoft Dynamics CRM considering it's such a vital part of our organization's entire operations and its ability to consistently be upgraded to have new features and benefits and integrations with emerging software. 

I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM ROI value a nine out of ten.

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.

My advice to others wanting to implement this solution is to make sure that they have a proper enterprise architecture. If you're starting out small, make sure you fully understand the different use cases, because you may end up overpaying for features that are never put into use.

I would recommend the professional services and training for implementation, to allow the staff to receive the knowledge of how to do some of the customizations. It does require some change management across the organization in terms of how to use fields, and all the different touchpoints. It's a pretty good database, it is not perfect, but it is the mid-range level solution. There are automation features that could improve, but with certain software, you can integrate to have it managed some automation in the background.

I rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM a seven out of ten.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is used for potential lead opportunities. Generally, salespeople use it.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a comprehensive solution and is well-integrated into other Microsoft solutions, including ERP solutions. Additionally, it is feature-rich.

I have been using Microsoft Dynamics CRM for approximately 14 years.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an extremely stable solution.

This solution is made from the ground up to be scalable.

We have approximately 50 sales and marketing employees using this solution mostly.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not suitable for small businesses. It is suitable for large-sized businesses. If they could make a version for smaller-sized businesses that would be helpful. There are a lot of smaller businesses that do not need the full features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM that could benefit from another version.

I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience.

I rate the support from Microsoft Dynamics CRM a one out of ten.

Negative

The deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not difficult because it is a cloud solution. However, the configuration of the solution is complex. You have to go through some processes to map it to the customer's needs. It's not an out-of-the-box functional solution.

The customization may take time, and depending on the customer's needs it may take a few weeks to a few months or longer to complete.

We have received an ROI from this solution though the price of this solution can be high.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive.

The cost of the solution is a per-user, license-based model. The cost depends on the number of users that are using it. This is beneficial if your company only has five users, you only have to pay for those five and not a higher price, such as other pricing models from other vendors.

We choose this solution over others because of the deployment, availability, scalability, and resilience of the solution. Not a lot of other vendors can offer these features. Salesforce can offer these features, but no one else. Its availability in a lot of parts of the world is a key feature. It's available anywhere, where a lot of other solutions are not due to certain restrictions. Additionally, there are a lot of engineers available for the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. That is not true for the other solutions.

This solution covers all the bases. It's very dynamic, customizable, and very reliable. All the general features you would look for in a CRM are available in this solution.

I rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for customer relationship management. We have all our business opportunities listed in the solution as well as all our customers. This CRM allows us to manage our business opportunities in each lifecycle.

The most useful feature that this solution provides is the ability to make dashboards for the business easily as our company is managed using KPIs and metrics. It provides accurate metrics about what we sold and our future pipelines. That's very important for the way we run our business.

Overall, the solution could be made to be more user friendly. 

We have been using this solution for four years. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. 

Fortunately, our business has grown a lot but this has caused some user experience problems such as duplication of opportunities. However, the solution automatically picks up any of these instances and prevents multiple identical entries by different users. 

I was not part of the initial setup but I believe it was straightforward. The deployment of the solution was quite easy and took one month. 

The would recommend that those looking at using this solution take the time to explore it and configure it in the way it relates best to their business.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

We use Microsoft Dynamics CRM for marketing and sales, for example, for basic contact and lead management and email marketing.

The feature I like best in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is being able to market to segments instead of choosing individual people to market to.

My company's biggest challenge with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is wanting to market solely to leads without having to create a contact and link the contact to the lead.

From a marketing standpoint, there's room for improvement in the lead process of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

In the next version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, I'd like to see built-in tutorials because the solution isn't as user-friendly in some aspects, for example, building segments you may not be familiar with. Microsoft Dynamics CRM seems to be designed for engineers, not necessarily for people with marketing or sales backgrounds or who may not have that many technical skillsets or backgrounds.

I've been using Microsoft Dynamics CRM since the day I started working in the company, which is about a year and a half. I'm unsure how long the company's been using Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Overall, Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a scalable solution.

I've never contacted the technical support team for Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

I wasn't involved in the initial setup and deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, so I have no information on how complex or straightforward the process was.

I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

In the company, the number of people using Microsoft Dynamics CRM daily is between one hundred fifty to two hundred. Between five to ten people, particularly specialists, take care of general maintenance and submit support tickets for Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

My advice to others looking into implementing Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it's a valuable tool. Still, it would be best to have either a team onsite or a third-party vendor familiar with setup and deployment.

I'd rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM as eight out of ten.

My company is a gold-level partner and reseller of Microsoft Dynamics CRM and other Microsoft applications.

The most valuable feature is the reporting tab.

I recommend Microsoft Dynamics CRM to all customers.

I am involved in sales, service, and project management projects using Microsoft Dynamics CRM. I use it for customer interactions and recommend it to my clients.

The integration of all data within Microsoft Dynamics CRM, including customer and lead management, is very beneficial. I find the sales system and operations, field service, and project service for the teams and managers to be significant for managing different customer interactions.

There is room for improvement in handling nonlinear sales processes and complex quoting. Also, improvements could be made in the customization needed for the order acceptance process and the sales afterward.

Since the year two thousand ten, I have been using the solution primarily from the customer side.

There could be improvements in their technical support, particularly regarding Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Neutral

Setting up Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not always straightforward. It may require third-party extensions to effectively operate according to one's needs.

Partners often say, 'It's not in the product, but we can build it for you.' However, the success ratio is not very high, so finding the right partner is crucial.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM has contributed positively to customer retention.

The licensing model is considered affordable.

It is crucial to find partners offering the right kind of third-party extensions. I occasionally have to remind others that nonlinear sales and complex processes occur between customer order acceptance and sales completion, often requiring numerous customizations.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
