We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the reporting tab.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the flexibility with Microsoft Office 365.""The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution.""The most valuable feature is that because this solution uses the cloud, you only have to install it and allocate it to a user, making it quite easy to use.""The solution is scalable.""The most valuable features are the integration capabilities with other third-party software. It has an easy user interface and in terms of security, it has permission-based access for different users.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are the accessibility of the service because we can access it either in the office or when we're out in the field."

"The lead and opportunity management features are valuable.""It is stable and scalable, and their support has been very responsive.""It covers sales very well.""the Oracle CX Sales Eloqua module is very useful.""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.""CX Sales is very intuitive - you just have to click a few buttons, and you see everything.""The solution integrates well."

More Oracle CX Sales Pros →

"The interface is quite user-friendly.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features.

Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number.""The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians.""The plug-ins that work with other standard systems have made the product industry-ready.""I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details.""The complexity of the solution is very less.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""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."

Cons
"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.""When it comes to any necessary changes or updates, we have issues. It is not very agnostic in terms of working with other platforms. A lot of data transformation had to be done internally in order to send it to various systems.""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.""The options for customizing Microsoft Dynamics CRM are very limited or highly complex.""If there was a bit more automation, specifically for marketing tasks, that would be ideal.""It is difficult to qualify opportunity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.""It could be less complicated for smaller organizations.""There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."

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.""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.""Support is very poor.""The interface of Oracle CX Sales could be more user-friendly."

More Oracle CX Sales Cons →

"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 main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations.""The documentation could be improved.""The integrations with other solutions can 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.""Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

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."
