"The deployment process is swift, typically taking just one day, and includes customization and automation setup.""The ticketing feature is very easy to use, compared to other systems.""The product has a lot of features.""The product is quite stable.""Zoho Desk is very flexible, just like the other applications of Zoho.""The product provides communication features like chats and calls.""The integration part is a valuable feature in the solution, especially if we're talking about Zoho One solution. Zoho Desk is easy to integrate with Zoho platform.""The tool has made support very flexible and strong. We can use chat boxes and auto-responses. If someone creates a ticket, it will be created in Zoho Desk's ticket module. We can get emails and respond to them within the product. We don't need a support email product to manage emails. We can easily manage it within Zoho Desk. The tool's interface is good since it updated the layout three months ago and the current interface is more effective."

Cons
"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.""I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience.""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.""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.""Better integration would be an improvement.""We would like to see the tech support for this product improved, at present we are frequently waiting for a couple of days before we receive any response.""The integration capability with other systems could be improved, particularly the Lead Generation system.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM would be far superior if it had an analytical dashboard and AI-based systems."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cons →

"Zoho Desk lacks lookup fields for the layouts.""Sometimes support is available according to their time slots and they can't fulfill everything I need them to. They give us a time slot but it's not always enough.""The solution could improve its stability and scalability.""Zoho Desk needs to be enhanced to support IT service management policies.""The solution should provide an option to autofill some values while creating tickets.""There is room for improvement with the pricing.""The solution needs to have more customization on alerts and notifications.""There is room for improvement in terms of integration."

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."
