I have an embedded power app that's launched through Dynamics. I use it almost every day. I don't use any Dynamics features. I go straight to my ISV plugin and that's all.

- "The stability is excellent."
- "The solution is rock solid and very stable."
- "The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
- "The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now; it doesn't seem to render and the responsiveness across different devices, from light testing, just seemed kind of off."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
For what I'm using it for it's great.
It's a pretty robust product.
I don't use any Dynamics features. I go straight to my ISV plugin and that's all. I just like this part of the Microsoft stack.
The stability is excellent. It's reliable.
What needs improvement?
The product can be a bit expensive, especially for a smaller organization.
I wouldn't want to change any aspect of the product.
The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now. It doesn't seem to render. It's the responsiveness across different devices, from light testing, just seemed kind of off. It seems like it really needs to identify when it's on a mobile device and minimize the view. It kind of just does a web page type of thing and it's just really difficult to use. From just the short time I've seen it, I'm not sure how anybody would ever be able to use it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution from a demo. I've used it in the last few months.

908,834 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is rock solid and very stable. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's excellent.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user. I have never been on the sales side of it or watched the organization from a licensing perspective. I don't know if it's higher or lower than what else is available. If I was a small business, that price would be too high for me if I was going to run it for my own practice as an individual. I'd either not use it or use something else - maybe something that's cheaper or supports just what I need.
What other advice do I have?
We are an ISV partner, an independent software vendor through Microsoft, and we can publish applications directly to the Dynamics store.
I've been very happy with the solution. I'd rate it at a ten out of ten.

I am involved in sales, service, and project management projects using Microsoft Dynamics CRM. I use it for customer interactions and recommend it to my clients.

How are customer service and support?
There could be improvements in their technical support, particularly regarding Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

How was the initial setup?
Setting up Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not always straightforward. It may require third-party extensions to effectively operate according to one's needs.
What about the implementation team?
Partners often say, 'It's not in the product, but we can build it for you.' However, the success ratio is not very high, so finding the right partner is crucial.
What was our ROI?
Microsoft Dynamics CRM has contributed positively to customer retention.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing model is considered affordable.
What other advice do I have?
It is crucial to find partners offering the right kind of third-party extensions. I occasionally have to remind others that nonlinear sales and complex processes occur between customer order acceptance and sales completion, often requiring numerous customizations.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Keeps our pipeline aligned and Outlook has helped us significantly
Pros and Cons
- "The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
- "The UI could definitely be improved."
What is our primary use case?
We use Microsoft Dynamics to keep our pipeline aligned with our counterparts and OEMs. We are customers of Microsoft and I'm a technical sales manager.
What is most valuable?
We have account engagements on a very regular basis, and the product makes it very easy for us to get all the teams immediately via the Outlook Calendar. It's a huge advantage for us.
What needs improvement?
The UI could definitely be improved. The solution lacks some features and the third-party application ecosystem could be better. I also think that usability could be simplified.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable product. I haven't faced any downtime in the last two years.

I previously used Salesforce which had a better third-party apps ecosystem and a better UI. In general, I find Salesforce to be more straightforward. If you're selling multiple products and have multiple accounts, managing those with your OEMs is easy in Salesforce because most of them are on Salesforce whereas very few of the enterprise-level OEMs use Dynamics.
What other advice do I have?
The most important thing is to be very sure about where you have saved what.
I rate this solution eight out of 10.

Stable enough and has a good pipeline management feature
Pros and Cons
- "My access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM is limited, so I can only access the feature of registering the pipeline and activities. That feature is enough for me to do the job, and is what I find most valuable in the solution."
- "My advice to people looking into using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it's a good solution because if you're in a Microsoft environment, the solution has compatibility with different Microsoft products and features such as Office, Outlook, etc."
- "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."

Effective management, reliable, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
- "I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job."
- "It is difficult to qualify opportunity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
What is most valuable?
I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job.
I can associate what meeting with the documentation of the opportunity with which I am working.
We can interact with a large number of people and upload documentation of these opportunities. It is interesting.
What needs improvement?
It is difficult to qualify opportunity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. If any salesperson uses information, their bosses, cannot measure it. This is something that could be an improvement.
Perhaps in the next release, there will be an opportunity to better qualify the opportunities. Introducing a company-defined process so we can measure better before investing resources in working on this opportunity.
Also, more documentation about why you lose, because there is a cost of opportunity that we are not aware of.
