Unified customer journeys have boosted analytics-driven sales and simplified global implementations
Analytics features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are good. When we are implementing chatbot and Co-pilot with Microsoft Dynamics CRM on their Omni-channels where we have to analyze all the incoming data coming from different multiple social media platforms, WhatsApp, Facebook, or anything else, and then create proper reporting on the dashboard with proper analytical reports using analytics. It is good, but sometimes it is laggy or crashy or just hangs. Sometimes it does lag and is a little bit buggy. But it works most of the time very fine, but sometimes it gets laggy. I think that might be an issue of the API link being down or something like that, but sometimes it takes time to get the graphs ready. However, it is a very good option where I personally design dashboards using mostly pie charts and bar charts for the client side. I can give a proper generic report to the clients and for pre-sales in multiple projects that I have done. It is a very good selling point for the clients. We can know how many clients we are having and how much data flow we are having. We can explain to them from which channel and where they are getting the higher footsteps into their business, whether it is their social media accounts, their website, or their walk-in customers. The analytics part is a very good helpful part as well because this is the main thing that interests mostly the top tier management of any company. The management can see the complete sales, what the profit is, what the quarterly profit is, what the investment is, what the stock left is, and all those things that we can manage here. Specifically we were working on a Telco project for Malaysia for a Telco company. We created them a complete product catalog on Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The product catalog was handling it very well as we were creating multiple small configurations of the business rules such as this promotion going on for the airtime and this promotion going on for products. The management was able to see that a certain age group of people were interested and what age group wanted what type of cellular products. It is a very helpful tool as well.

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:

"The integration of all data within Microsoft Dynamics CRM, including customer and lead management, is very beneficial."
"Licenses are cheap if you are a Microsoft shop, easy to to customize."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM brings the most value in terms of its ease of implementation."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution; we never had any problems, it was always running well."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good software because it has a lot of features."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are all the filters and possible reports."
"The most useful feature that this solution provides is the ability to make dashboards for the business easily as our company is managed using KPIs and metrics."
"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 usability of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Pipedrive's most valuable feature is reporting and insights. The CRM shows the database and lets the salespeople arrange their daily activities. The insights are essential from a management point of view because it helps the sales staff improve or adjust their whole sales cycle, activities, and quality."
"Anyone thinking about using this solution should definitely look at it and seriously consider it because it's a very good product."
"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 solution is very stable."
"Pipedrive's most valuable features are that you can keep the whole information that's related to managing your sales process and you can customize it easily. The person that we have who is customizing Pipedrive is very junior in means of software development or process development. He can easily use it, anyone can use the solution. It has a very easy user interface to customize your processes and apply them to the Pipedrive process."
"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."
 

Cons

"The UI could definitely be improved."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve the integration with the other system. If they have more flexibility to connect with another system it will be more effective."
"My company's biggest challenge with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is wanting to market solely to leads without having to create a contact and link the contact to the lead. From a marketing standpoint, there's room for improvement in the lead process of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"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."
"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."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"The UI and GUI could be improved."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve the built-in reports. The ones that are included are pretty generic unless you subscribe to Microsoft BI, which is an extra fee. They should offer the reports without having to purchase a separate subscription for Microsoft BI. However, the reports in Microsoft BI are fantastic."
"Reporting capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce."
"New features sometimes seem bolted on rather than being smooth."
"Pipedrive could be more efficient. I want the management to be more transparent so it's easier to monitor the sales team's activities and results and do business forecasting. It would help them to improve the quality of the sales cycle."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
"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."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
"The tool's APIs are challenging. It should also be compliant with HIPAA, FINRA and GLBA. The data centers should be within US so that they are compliant with regulations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"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."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"On a scale from one to ten with one being expensive and ten being of great value, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM at six on pricing."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"Pipedrive is relatively more affordable than other solutions."
"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."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"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."
