Pros
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is that it is a low-code platform and we can perform business process management.""The way it effectively works with the array of other Microsoft tools, such as Azure, is valuable.

Overall, it is a great overall tool to have an effective understanding of the transactional background of each of our customers.""The stability is excellent.""I have used many Microsoft solutions and I am comfortable using the solution. Additionally, it is secure.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are all the filters and possible reports.""Multifeatured CRM software with good stability and scalability.""The support is brilliant.

"The low-code/no-code development aspect of the solution is great.""Pega Robotic Process Automation's most valuable feature is that it is robust. Additionally, they have plenty of online documents that are good and Pega Academy is helpful, they are doing a great job. They give training on practical use cases. They take domain use cases, and they are great.""They are leaders in the same industry.""The most valuable aspect for myself was access to the .net framework. If I couldn't figure something out using the objects that they had provided, I could bring in the .net objects and do so using similar logic that I would in a .net or C sharp coding language. Having that familiarity was helpful.""It was very smooth and very seamless to create automations.""The most valuable features are the loops to lookup tables to read the data.""It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature of Pega Robotic Process Automation is the technique: you can create a user interface that can interact with a human being for attended robots."

Cons
"The installation was difficult. I'm not the person that implements the solution. However, to have the solution function in the correct way, the process can be difficult.""My company's biggest challenge with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is wanting to market solely to leads without having to create a contact and link the contact to the lead. From a marketing standpoint, there's room for improvement in the lead process of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly.""The price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve.""The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive.""The solution's interface has room for improvement.""The overall price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve.""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."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cons →

"I would like to see an enhanced auditing feature included.""The handwritten structured and semi-structured data recognition accuracy is much lower and is an area that definitely needs to improve.""The new players such as UiPath and ABBYY are moving very quickly, but Pega is not. I'd definitely like to see Pega doing a few more interesting things on the AI or machine learning front so that we can use the platform for multiple things.""It's difficult not knowing when alerts will arrive.""In this modern world, in this automation space, if Pega could provide more options that are user-friendly and provide a way to quickly develop an automation solution that is drag-and-drop with a minimal coding approach, then it would be great for automation.""They have tied the deployment with the Pega BPM product, the robot manager. You need to have the BPM installed.""Pega Robotic Process Automation scalability is too low.""The OCR capabilities of the solution 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."

  • "​I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost​."
  • "Pega is pretty costly."
  • "Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."
  • "In terms of Pega Robotic Process Automation pricing, I would rate it a five out of five because the solution has a good price.

  • "Pega is as competitive as the basic players such as UiPath or Automation Anywhere. UiPath is the most expensive, but Pega is at par with Automation Anywhere."
