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.

Helps in creating web pages efficiently and has a simple setup process
We can provide access to specific authors and developers to particular DMS. It is complicated to integrate Sitecore with existing technologies. However, it is not that difficult to learn. I advise others to make a purchase decision depending on the particular use cases. It is suitable for hosting basic websites without e-commerce plugins. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I like best in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is being able to market to segments instead of choosing individual people to market to."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"When you have a vanilla, straightforward version, it is easy to use."
"I like that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay. I like that it is a stable solution. My main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job."
"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"
"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."
"The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to create web pages with ease."
 

Cons

"The setup with other email servers, other than Microsoft Outlook, could be improved. Alternatively, we'd like to have some feature that allows us to send emails directly from our inboxes to the CRM and assign it to a certain client."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's customer support could be improved as tickets usually take a long time to resolve."
"I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience."
"The installation was difficult. I'm not the person that implements the solution. However, to have the solution function in the correct way, the process can be difficult."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
"It would be a little bit easier if there were better ways to configure and modify native add-ins or plugins."
"In a few scenarios, Sitecore DMS works slowly."
