"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors.""The product's deployment phase was easy.""It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue.""Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly.""Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options.""The case management feature is really valuable.""The solution is very easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."

Cons
"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.""Better integration would be an improvement.""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.""This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement.""It would be a little bit easier if there were better ways to configure and modify native add-ins or plugins.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM's customer support could be improved as tickets usually take a long time to resolve.""The overall price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cons →

"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model.""The UI should be improved.""There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo""For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases.""It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive.""The UI is lagging and needs to be improved.""They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it.""The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."

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."
