Pros
"We are able to effectively follow up on requests, ensuring all customer issues are resolved in a timely manner. This solution provides a platform where there is visibility of all customer interactions, with efficient follow-up.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a very nice UI, and is very easy to use. It's easy to install, has a lot of features, and provides good technical support.""My access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM is limited, so I can only access the feature of registering the pipeline and activities. That feature is enough for me to do the job, and is what I find most valuable in the solution.""It is good for sales and service maintenance. It has various integration tools.""Compared to other partners, the most valuable aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its intuitive APIs, which are customizable and allow for the addition of multiple parameters and attributes.

Finally, the commercial aspects of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are superior to those of other solution providers.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a comprehensive solution and is well-integrated into other Microsoft solutions, including ERP solutions.

Cons
"The solution's interface has room for improvement.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by having integration with Slack. Additionally, the solution is incomplete, and we must use other solutions to fulfill our needs.""It would be better if it were more secure.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need.""The manufacturing module could be improved. I would like to see customization in the next release.""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.""They should work on improving the solution's scalability.""I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience."

More Microsoft Dynamics CRM Cons →

"They could enhance the product’s features to customize the automated email responses.""There is room for improvement in customer service and support. It could be more knowledgeable.""Could have slightly better integration between additional functionalities in the Zoho desk.""The solution should provide an option to autofill some values while creating tickets.""I would want Zoho Desk to integrate Zoho CRM, Zoho SalesIQ , and Zoho Campaigns.""The customization of modules and some blueprint in the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement.""The solution could improve its stability and scalability.""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."
