Microsoft Dynamics CRM doesn't provide solutions that allow you to transform easily if you have a heterogeneous mix of technologies or if your contact center is on analog and you try to digitize it. A lot of custom work is needed if you have to integrate heterogeneous technologies with the Microsoft suite, but if you are using the Microsoft suite, then it's quite seamless. Microsoft Dynamics CRM should add commercial models that allow smaller companies to use it because it can get pretty expensive. Better commercial options for smaller implementations may be helpful. There should be commercial options for smaller companies, as the overheads and costs of Dynamics can be quite high.

A scalable low-code platform with an easy initial setup phase
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The stability of Pega Sales Automation depends upon how an IT architecture is built, and because of this, I can say that users would experience no downtimes in an IT environment with high-availability servers. With Pega Sales Automation, I haven't seen any downtimes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most useful features is we can configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM in the way that we need. This is configurable."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM used to be four versions behind Salesforce, but now it has really caught up."
"For the price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive a lot of comprehensive functionality."
"Microsoft Dynamics is user-friendly and intuitive. It's easy to understand how it works."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM was more reliable than Spiceworks, which is what caused us to switch."
"It is a good platform for sales and service maintenance, I strongly recommend using it, many integration tools are available, and various upgrades are coming, and its ROI is also good."
"There are many other exciting features in MS Dynamics CRM 2015 version, promising outstanding customer experiences."
"This is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup of Pega Sales Automation was easy since it is a tool meant for sales-related activities, and moreover, it is a very low-code tool."
 

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 needs improvement in simplifying the setup and configuration process, which can be relatively complex when we want all features to work properly."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its end user feedback. It's still not that great compared to Salesforce. They also need to improve on the look and feel of the solution, because those are still slightly better on Salesforce."
"Better integration would be an improvement."
"The solution's interface has room for improvement."
"The manufacturing module could be improved. I would like to see customization in the next release."
"Overall, the solution could be made to be more user friendly."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by having integration with Slack. Additionally, the solution is incomplete, and we must use other solutions to fulfill our needs."
"I want Pega Sales Automation to provide users with more predictive and adaptive models and on how to get a forecast of upcoming leads since these two are areas where the solution lacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"For the price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive a lot of comprehensive functionality. Additionally, it integrates very well. We pay approximately $100 a month to use the solution and we do not have any additional costs."
"Microsoft often encourages customers to commit to multi-year enterprise-level agreements, such as three or five-year deals with a minimum commitment of, for example, $200,000 dollars. However, in order to acquire more customers, I believe Microsoft should offer this same rate for one-year commitments for customers who want to experience it."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
