Featured Reviews

Pawel-Gawronski - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlining resource management and improving project insights with helpful support
The deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy because it's a software as a service, which eliminates the need to deploy anything in our data center. It has improved the verification of value streams by mapping projects to products and demonstrating the total cost of ownership. This automation significantly impacts daily operations by reducing the time spent on manual tasks and improving the quality and delivery time.
Mohammed Tafazal - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality."
"When you have a vanilla, straightforward version, it is easy to use."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the flexibility with Microsoft Office 365."
"The solution is stable."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"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

"The manufacturing module could be improved. I would like to see customization in the next release."
"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."
"Dynamics could perform a little better, and it would be nice to save the filters I use frequently, so I don't need to do the same thing every day."
"We would like to see the tech support for this product improved, at present we are frequently waiting for a couple of days before we receive any response."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"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."
"The UI and GUI could be improved."
"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."
"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

"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."
"There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"My organization pays for the license, and I do not know how much it costs."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"The cost depends on a number of factors, so whoever is implementing it will need to take that into consideration before it is done."
"The cost varies on multiple factors including customization and the number of users."
