Robust CRM that has allowed us to keep track of all engagement with our customers
Pros and Cons
  • "The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution to track our client's information, plans, and discussions we have with them.

What is most valuable?

The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution could be more stable. In the beginning it was much less stable, but has since improved and become robust. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution has served our needs but we have not had an excessive number of users so I can't comment on scalability.

How are customer service and support?

We receive quick assistance from the customer service team, but we are a Microsoft gold partner which gives us priority service. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others but it does depend on the setup. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Multifeatured CRM software that's scalable and stable, but needs to be more user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability."
  • "This 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."

What is our primary use case?

I used Microsoft Dynamics CRM for just one or two projects, but it was not for myself. I provided it to clients who need internet automation services.

What needs improvement?

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good tool, but if don't have experience using a CRM solution, you'll need to learn a lot of things which could be difficult to learn. If you've used Excel or something similar, then learning this software could be easier.

This tool needs to be more user-friendly.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is scalable.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing for this software could be cheaper.

What other advice do I have?

I have pipeline middlemen who sell Microsoft Dynamics CRM as a B2B solution through the web portal, or E-Commerce portal. Clients just need to click on the order form found on the web portal of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good software because it has a lot of features. 

I do the automation and email feed, and I check the instruments for clients, but they're not my clients directly. I have no idea on how many people clients need for the deployment and maintenance of this solution. I also don't deal with the Microsoft technical support team.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good tool, so I can recommend it to people who want to start using it.

I'm not sure about the subscription for this solution. It could be a yearly subscription.

I just did one team up development with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, but I'm rating it a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Customizable and easy to deploy, but requires an SI for effective use.

Valuable Features:

Highly customizable. Easy initial deployment.

Room for Improvement:

Not structured for small Bussiness. Most likely will need a systems integrator for effective use.

Agree with the reviewer, as the cost of ownership is high its not suitable for small businesses. Several features are good like Integration with Outlook.

Licenses are cheap if you are a Microsoft shop, but cost of ownership is high.

Valuable Features:

Licenses are cheap if you are a Microsoft shop, easy to to customize.

Room for Improvement:

Chunky, UI isn't great, requires a lot of customization - so cost of ownership is high, feels like Salesforce is probably a better overall bet.

How is salesforce a better choice?

Microsoft Dynamics is the best solution for any organization. With Microsoft deploying cloud hosting even SMEs can afford and benefit from the features MS CRM has to offer on a pay per user licence. Also MS CRM is cheaper than Salesforce!

Salesforce may have more features available but actually how useful are the additional features?

CRM that integrates well with other systems and provides control of process from end to end
Pros and Cons
  • "The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features."
  • "This solution would be easier to use if everything was displayed on one page, to avoid moving from one tab to another tab to add documents or add comments."

What is most valuable?

The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features. 

What needs improvement?

This solution would be easier to use if everything was displayed on one page, to avoid moving from one tab to another tab to add documents or add comments.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for 5 months. The setup took one year. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not straightforward. It took a year to configure Dynamics because it's not very intuitive. We had to hire assistance for certain parts of the setup.

What other advice do I have?

This solution integrates well with other systems. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
