Sentiment score

Microsoft Dynamics CRM's support is generally satisfactory, but response times vary, and premium support offers better responsiveness.
HubSpot's customer service is excellent and fast.
There is always an account rep that's available, and there is a technical account rep that is available for every account.
Part of it is different language use, and while that's okay, it wasn't immediately evident where to find help, verify, or submit a question and get responses.
I would rate customer support as ten out of ten.
While the support operates within their standard SLA, it can be difficult to speak directly with someone over the phone.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is scalable and adaptable, popular among medium to large companies, but smaller ones may need customization.
Handling around 100 to 150 users is fine.
There are a lot of enterprises using it, however, even as a GTM for HubSpot, their target market is predominantly SMB.

I would give it a ten out of ten for scalability.

Room For Improvement

HubSpot CRM needs improved email integration, customization, pricing, mobile app, technical support, navigation, and automation capabilities.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM needs better usability, third-party integrations, mobile customization, and enhanced reporting, dashboard, and automation features.
HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality.
A better CRM can be achieved by providing more customization features.
They are not at the pace or effectiveness of AgentForce by Salesforce.
More use-case-oriented material should be provided to help users and implementers learn how to do more, faster.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM needs improvement in simplifying the setup and configuration process, which can be relatively complex when we want all features to work properly.
 

Setup Cost

HubSpot CRM offers flexible pricing with free and paid plans, modular features, but may be costly for small teams.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM pricing ranges from $50-$115 per user/month, with complexity and customization affecting costs and affordability.
The pricing of Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be complex due to Microsoft's complicated licensing model.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM costs about $110 to $115 per user per month, following a recent price increase.
 

Valuable Features

HubSpot CRM is user-friendly, scalable, and integrates seamlessly, offering powerful marketing, reporting, and automation features, even for free.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers customizable features, seamless Microsoft integration, and robust automation, enhancing efficiency in sales and customer management.
HubSpot stands out for its ease of use, especially with sequence creation compared to other CRM solutions.
All the automation features, where I can completely automate a cadence like emailing, lead scoring, and lead qualification, everything can be automated, including all workflows.
The feature that I find valuable is the customer 360-degree view and the marketing automation.
The backend storage integrates seamlessly with OneDrive, and the solution offers robust security features, including Azure integration, two-factor authentication (2FA), and comprehensive audit trails.
The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its integration with Outlook and other Microsoft products like Microsoft 365, which includes emails, Teams, and SharePoint.
I can also create fields and customize them according to my needs.

Featured Reviews

Charles Dickens - PeerSpot reviewer
Effortlessly manage relationships with seamless contact data integration
The primary area to improve is creating deployable packages. When I buy into HubSpot, I have a list of checks, however, I am left to figure out how to use it. I start with a budget, and it's just a persistent sales demand. HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality. It is important to be clear about what it doesn't provide or what else is needed. I can outfit myself with my own tools or other options as I evaluate the board. They are building businesses for themselves. However, there's always a limiting function encountered. Understanding limitations upon entry would be beneficial so I don't constantly stumble upon unknown constraints. A package covering everything in a particular area without requiring the entire purchase would be excellent.
Rishabh Chhajer - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive APIs, customizable design, but dashboards could improve
The most advantageous aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its periodic updates. Every quarter, Microsoft releases upgrades that address bugs and vulnerabilities. As a company governed by the Reserve Bank of India and SAP security regulations for our stock operations, we conduct periodic reviews of our applications, including Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Whenever we submit an audit report and identify bugs, we reach out to the Microsoft team for assistance. They assure us that the issues will be fixed in the next quarterly release. As a result, we have not experienced any outstanding bugs that have not been recorded or addressed.
