- "The UI could definitely be improved."

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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I've had minimal interaction with technical support because our internal IT team handles that side of things. I believe they provide good support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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."
