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.
Omair Bokhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability is excellent."
"Our clients appreciate that the solution can be used to monitor everything their customer interacts with in their business."
"The support is brilliant. All OEMs are pretty helpful."
"It is good for sales and service maintenance. It has various integration tools."
"It's a good solution for enterprise-level companies."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the accessibility of the service because we can access it either in the office or when we're out in the field."
"The solution is versatile and customizable."
"The solution is easy to use and stable. It offers a 360-degree view of your customers. It allows you to track interactions, giving you full visibility into customer habits and behavior"
"Everything related to insights and dashboards is valuable. It is great for tracking all the effort and generating reports."
"For the most part, the solution is straightforward."
"Oracle CRM's best feature is its ability to customize as per specific organization's requirements."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."
"It helps our company interact with our customers, track leads and opportunities, determine how many opportunities are transferred into actual sales, and other such areas."
"It is one of the most proficient CRM tools out there. It is comprehensive and scalable. It covers most of the CRM activities, business lines, and business requirements."
"The reporting features are valuable."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by adding more artificial intelligence. Additionally, they should add more modules, such as account-based management, that are available on other platforms such as salesforce.com."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is operational enough, in terms of frequency, but an area for improvement would be its dashboard. Currently, it's widget-like, so hopefully, it could be improved, particularly to allow you to create a custom dashboard using a query. A custom dashboard would make the solution better and is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM because right now, it only has a default dashboard, but maybe my account has limited access, so I can only see the default version of the dashboard."
"The main issue with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that its GUI isn't very attractive. Overall, the solution has the same functionalities as other CRMs such as Salesforce, but Salesforce is much simpler to use. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is complicated to use, and this is another area for improvement. It was also more difficult to set up the solution, so its setup could still be improved. What I'd like to see in the next version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a cleaner user interface because currently, it looks messy to me. Salesforce CRM has a better, more simplified user interface that makes it easier for you to get what you need, while in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you have to put in a lot of effort to get things done."
"During a period of time, restoring data and maintaining it could be better in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"The pricing of Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be complex due to Microsoft's complicated licensing model."
"In terms of the performance, when it comes to loading a large volume of data, it's slow at times, so the system could be optimized."
"Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance."
"The one thing that I hate about it is when you pay for services for a certain amount of time, the service ends just before it should be over. For example, I may pay for a month of service, but it will tell me the service is over before the month ends."
"The initial setup is complex, it could be improved to be more simplified."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"The configuration requires a lot of technical intervention."
"In the planning area in order to calculate commissions the function could be improved. Currently, we are not using that functionality because it is very basic."
"The licensing is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
"My organization pays for the license, and I do not know how much it costs."
"It is a very comprehensive package. We get everything from Access to D 365. We get Microsoft's suite of tools. I'm not too sure about the pricing, but I can't imagine it being cheap."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The product’s pricing is very high."
"Oracle is very expensive, but you have to pay to get this kind of scalability and database flexibility."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
"The solution is expensive."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"In my region, the tool is expensive. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard licensing fees of the tool."
