Pros
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use and can work with any Microsoft solution without problems.""The most valuable feature is the reporting tab.""I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job.""Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline.""Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are its easy operations and functionality.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the flexibility with Microsoft Office 365.""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."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Pros →

"The integration with other systems is easy.""the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful.""The lead and opportunity management features are valuable.""It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive.""The solution integrates well.""CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything.""Account management is a very good feature. It is conceptualized very well, and we can look at all the projects under one account. The data for those accounts remain there throughout.""It covers sales very well."

More Oracle CX Sales Pros →

"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians.""It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up.""It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ.""It is a stable product.""The complexity of the solution is very less.""The strength lies in its ability to work cohesively with other systems, creating a centralized hub that enhances efficiency and collaboration across various functionalities within our organization.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features.

Cons
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly and having a better design. I have used Service Desk and it is not user-friendly but this solution is worse. The graphical interface is not intuitive, you need someone to guide you or you will have difficulties navigating around to find the file you need. The data we are normally dealing with is boring enough and the interface could be more attractive and more exciting. The tabs and arrangement could be done better to be more user-friendly. Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are fine and Microsoft should extend their user-friendliness and intuitiveness to Microsoft Dynamics.""I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience.""We had to do some customizations on top and it got a bit cumbersome.""Sometimes Microsoft's support can be difficult to contact, and it can take a while to get a response to a ticket.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve the built-in reports. The ones that are included are pretty generic unless you subscribe to Microsoft BI, which is an extra fee. They should offer the reports without having to purchase a separate subscription for Microsoft BI. However, the reports in Microsoft BI are fantastic.""The UI could definitely be improved.""One area for improvement in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its end user feedback. It's still not that great compared to Salesforce. They also need to improve on the look and feel of the solution, because those are still slightly better on Salesforce.""The solution's interface has room for improvement."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cons →

"You can get disconnected if you do not have a strong, reliable internet connection.""It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant.""Support is very poor.""They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them.""We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being.""CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes.""The tool must allow developers to check logs.""The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."

More Oracle CX Sales Cons →

"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""Salesforce should include maps as a default offering so that, as a customer, I can view where the technician is on the geographical map.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention.""The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper.""The documentation could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
  • "It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
  • "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."
  • "There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
  • "The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
  • "We have a three-year ELA with all our Microsoft solutions and often we had to do a true-up which was approximately $1,000,000. Additionally, we pay approximately $2,500 a month for support."
  • "Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
  • "The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
  • More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's more costly, and I would give it a two on a scale from one to five with one being expensive and five being competitive pricing."
  • "The product is pricey."
  • "The solution is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
  • More Oracle CX Sales Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is too expensive."
