Has enabled seamless integration across platforms while supporting advanced analytics for customer insights
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.

Freelancer at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Has efficient automation features and the ability to integrate with multiple systems
The initial setup is quite difficult for the latest versions from 2020 and beyond and can take about four to five hours. It can now be deployed on the cloud. Oracle offers the same images for on-premise and cloud deployments, making it easy to switch between the two. I created the docker image using VM and completed the setup in a few hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Licenses are cheap if you are a Microsoft shop, easy to to customize."
"The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
"There are many other exciting features in MS Dynamics CRM 2015 version, promising outstanding customer experiences."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a comprehensive solution and is well-integrated into other Microsoft solutions, including ERP solutions. Additionally, it is feature-rich."
"The management and ability to process leads are the solution's most useful features; it makes it easy to maintain accounts and keep them up to date and relevant, the interface is very good and makes the product easy to use, the price is pretty decent, the initial setup is pretty straightforward, the sales cycle is great, everything is at the tip of my fingers, I have good visibility due to the excellent reporting, and the dashboard is great and lets me click anywhere and see anything."
"The way it effectively works with the array of other Microsoft tools, such as Azure, is valuable. It works very well with the use of data linking and things like that. Overall, it is a great overall tool to have an effective understanding of the transactional background of each of our customers."
"The stability is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the out-of-the-box functionalities, particularly those around sales, field service, and project service, which are really good for medium customers, and the flexibility allowing users to change functionalities to fit specific business needs."
"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
"During a period of time, restoring data and maintaining it could be better in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The UI/UX needs improvement as it is not intuitive from day one."
"We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome."
"The support from Microsoft would improve. Most of the time of the day is terrible."
"It is difficult to qualify opportunity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good tool, but if you don't have experience using a CRM solution, there are a lot of things you'll need to learn. This tool needs to be more user-friendly."
"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I am not the person who pays for Microsoft Dynamics CRM but it is expensive. I have been using Microsoft Azure, which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is built on, and I know we prepaid for the services. For me as a consumer, I do not think I can afford it, mainly because I am only learning how to use the AI and the rate which they charge is high. In general, Microsoft solutions are expensive and this is most likely due to the brand, this is something you expect. However, the price might be high but you receive a highly secure solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"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 platform is expensive."
