Sr. Manager, Tmt Business Consulting (Focused On B2 B Tech Product Cos.) at a outsourcing company with 11-50 employees
Efficient and intuitive experience facilitates global sales collaboration and optimizes user engagement
Beyond what Dynamics 365 Sales currently provides, any improvement would require a combination of processes, changes, and user behavior modifications on our side coupled with the product. The product has launched numerous features, including AI capabilities, though I haven't found use for many of them. Reducing feature bloat would be beneficial, especially considering different organizational needs. In a federated B2B company, CRM usage is limited to fundamental fields. Performance improvements, such as reducing field loading time from three seconds to one second, don't significantly impact average users. In our B2B organization, which consists of numerous companies each generating several million dollars in revenue, teams only need 5-10 strong features. Additional features are primarily useful for central sales revenue operations teams handling reports and analysis. For average users in a B2B services organization, the current feature set is sufficient. Over the last few months, we have received many AI features and co-pilot integration into Teams. However, additional CRM features are not necessary for our usage.

Managing Director at Drebbel
Offers the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting
We do a lot of analytics and reporting ourselves. We don't necessarily use all the features that Pipedrive provides, but it's very helpful at least. It has streamlined our deal-closing process. We use it for everything. When we create a lead, we put it into Pipedrive. That lead can be converted into an opportunity, which we manage through our whole pipeline. This includes having all data related to the opportunity in one place. Once the deal is closed, we use Pipedrive to follow up on the invoices until they are paid. We also manage sales commissions and payments to our salespeople through Pipedrive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dynamics 365 Sales offers robust integration capabilities with third-party tools, complemented by our in-house developed applications. We've tailored our pricing within Dynamics 365 to suit our specific needs, collaborating closely with our teams for its development. Leveraging Azure and Microsoft Office 365 integration, Dynamics 365 becomes even more powerful."
"Dynamics 365 Sales assists in streamlining the sales cycle by reducing it by 30%."
"Dynamics 365 Sales has a sales feature that is easy to use. It is easy to understand and use."
"Dynamics 365 Sales is a stable solution with good documentation."
"The tool is on the same screen as Microsoft and Windows, which makes it easier for end users to learn. Its features are good, and the solution's integration is without challenges."
"SAP was very complicated, while Dynamics 365 Sales became simple for senior leaders to use, reducing time spent from 2-3 hours per week in SAP to 15-20 minutes in Microsoft Dynamics when done properly."
"What makes Dynamics 365 Sales interesting is the new AI capabilities through CoPilot, which can help write in NLP and look through what's happening on the opportunities without getting into the details."
"It stands out as an exceptional choice for businesses seeking a comprehensive ERP solution that offers a range of features, including finance, payroll, and HR modules, making it more than just a retail tool."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution is pretty easy to use and intuitive."
"Our primary use case for this solution ranges from using it for daily activities in sales to forecasting and KPIs and following up on every deal we are working on and every lease we are opening."
"The most useful stuff for me is that it's very flexible with all the data structures...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Pipedrive makes it easy to understand who I'm talking to at a glance. It has all the activities, node features, opportunity interface, deal interface, and time drive deals.The sales process is extremely simple, which saves me time and energy. I can send the document for e-signature and make the most out of my deals. I can automatically send emails and phone calls. You need to do only a little API programming. It offers massive flexibility. You can run an entire enterprise on the platform. The ease of use facilitates huge adoption."
"The biggest and the best feature is the view that you get when you log in. You have a board like Kanban when you log in, and you've got a column on the left and several other columns that move to the right, depending on where you are in a particular deal. If it's a prospect or someone who is just looking, you move it along the process, and it really helps you keep track of where you are."
"Pipedrive offers a lot of value for the money because it includes e-signature, document generation, CRM, and workflow automation in one not-expensive solution."
 

Cons

"The solution needs an improved connection to AI."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Making it more budget-friendly would be beneficial."
"However, having more dashboards and customizable templates, specifically tailored for sales in Dynamics 365, would enhance its usability even further. Being able to create custom dashboards would be particularly beneficial."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"There's room for improvement in the pricing models."
"At the start of the project, we made this mistake by relying on Power Automate. We discovered latency issues and problems related to the limits exist."
"The solution needs to include accurate and free online tutorials."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
"The automation process is challenging."
"The form builder works even though it has some shortcomings...Also, the forms don't have the ability to avoid or stop people from signing up if they don't have a corporate email."
"In future releases, I would like to have a highly intelligent integration service where you can easily connect PipeDrive with other tools, even if you are not a developer."
"Reporting capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is expensive."
"Dynamics 365 Sales' pricing is in the middle. It's not expensive like SAP and Oracle."
"The cost of the solution is very similar to that of other solutions like Salesforce CRM."
"The pricing is challenging, which is particularly relevant for countries like Pakistan and others with limited budgets."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"The solution is affordable."
"Pipedrive is the most cost-effective in terms of the balance between cost and features. I would take Pipedrive over HubSpot or Zoho CRM. It's well-positioned on the market."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, two or three. For us, everything is expensive because this is a startup, but for a normal company, it should be peanuts."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
