Cons
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases.""The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports.""The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality.""We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days.""The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."

More Freshsales Cons →

"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 solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive.""It would be a little bit easier if there were better ways to configure and modify native add-ins or plugins.""It would be better if it were more secure.""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.""Better integration would be an improvement.""Out of the box, the solution doesn't really have a desirable user experience. We have to set it up and customize it to meet our needs.""Microsoft Dynamics could have better note-taking capabilities. It should have more preset options where you enter notes by clicking a box instead of writing them out."

  • "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.
