Buyer Beware!!!

We used Microsoft Dynamics 365 as our Applicant Tracking/Employment Management System. We add candidates and clients to the database and track activities relative to candidates in the pipeline for a job being recruited for, client information about their company, and jobs they need us to fill.
- integrates reasonably well with Microsoft Outlook
- Collecting/inputting information into candidate records is frustrating in that information input to a candidate record relative to a job for which they are a candidate does not get included in the general candidate record.
- In my opinion, they need to make it VERY CLEAR UPFRONT that if you leave Microsoft Dynamics 365 for another ATS, they will NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH A BACK-UP FILE OF YOUR DATA like every other ATS does. It cost me almost $10,000 to get MY DATA, after having to re-up for another year because they wouldn't provide it to me.

Great CRM tool with a lot of potential
We use this application globally within our company and not only by the sales reps or department but it holds a lot of the essential master data for our products and pricing structure. Our product managers and marketing users use the application to compile information about our sales and send out surveys etc. CRM 2016 enables the company to streamline the process and way of working with a sale from lead to order, and it helps our service technicians to handle RMA's and service cases on a global scale.
- Guides the sales reps through the sales process.
- Enables fairly quick quoting, presenting the customer with a quick quotation.
- We had to rely on some third-party tools like Experlogix and HubSpot, it would be neat if this was unnecessary.
- It's a Microsoft tools, so the number of clicks is still too high.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Is Feature-Rich And Intuitive.

We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 to keep track of our clients, systems, and data across the company. My superiors appreciate how easy it is to maintain tabs on our selling pipelines and set selling goals. It serves us to integrate all the data and processes from our employer’s portal into a unique system. We sell online solutions that update both CRM and the doorway simultaneously. For me, task tracking is my favorite feature because it’s tailored to each client’s specific needs. To this day, I’ll never forget the conversation I had with my client because of the project. Also helps our salespeople keep a step on potential clients and manage their past interactions to re-engage them. Microsoft Dynamics 365 works with customer relationship management programs for our company’s operations and selling employees. Use it to manage track of clients and other important sales metrics with ease.
- One of the best features of this software is that it's easy to use and intuitive to understand.
- Customization is easy, and no training is required; all you need to know about B2B leads, corporate leads, and clients are to be aware of those leads.
- Through shared application data and marketing automation, it helps us align our sales and marketing processes.
- The support team is knowledgeable and helpful, and they quickly engage the right customers using Microsoft's artificial intelligence-backed features.
- There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness. New users often find it difficult to enter information into a database.
- Making things a little easier on the interface and its user interface design isn't simple enough for smooth navigation, particularly on the report pages.
- I'd like to see some improvement in terms of the navigation layout, though. There is always a concern about cost and performance.
I am the Salesforce Admin for our organization and we have 16GB of storage available. However, we are currently using around 25 GB of storage for all of our invoicing information. Our higher-up executives don't want to spend the money on the excess storage and we have decided to pull in all of our reporting/data for older information from Microsoft Power BI. We use their dashboards to provide more knowledge to our users.
- Dashboards are succint
- Reporting looks great
- Customer views are great
- Forecasting could be improved
- Linking email campaigns
- Overall customization

It is actually very "dynamic"!
We all use it. We use it on our end to manage our client accounts but we also have our own ISV inside Dynamics that we sell, so us in the Support team also have to help customers with issues that arise in Dynamics CRM along with ClickDimensions. Dynamics helps us manage our database of accounts neatly and, since it is customizable, we have been able to do so much more for our clients.
- Customizable - you can customize Dynamics to your business needs with the help of a CRM Admin or Partner
- Can import own or third party solutions to add features that Dynamics may be missing. Example, ClickDimensions
- Easy to manage Leads!
- User Friendly -- Dynamics and their terms can be a bit confusing
- UI -- The new Unified Interface is not that well designed. Older UIs were easier to navigate
- If you are not a CRM expert, customizing CRM can be complex and you can even ruin your environment.

We have developed an ITSM Module, and as MS Dynamics implementers, we practice what we preach
The platform we developed is being used company-wide to support customers, enable collaboration across teams, and other basic CRM functions.

- UI is very plain and clear, consistent experience across all entities.
- Full integration to other MS products out of the box, online Excel editing.
- Full integration with Outlook for emails and calendar.
- Bad reporting (you have to have Power BI).
- Hard to manage users and permissions due to the many customizations available.
- Performance, always an issue.

Dynamics gives us a 365 degree view of our customers
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is, at the moment, used as the preferred customer relationship management program in my organization's regional offices where I work. We use it to seamlessly manage customer information and keep track of customers and important sales metrics. It makes it easy for the higher-ups in my organization to measure our sales pipelines and possible sales targets, too.
- Microsoft dynamics 365 does a fantastic job integrating with important third-party applications we currently use in the office such as a MailChimp and OneNote, thus making it easier to share vital insights across applications.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 does a fantastic job of aligning our sales and marketing processes by helping to produce seamless experiences for our customers through shared application data and marketing automations.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 makes it easier for us to focus on the right type of customers by engaging them quickly using insight provided by Microsoft's artificial intelligence backed features.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 can do with improved intuitiveness for users. For instance, data entry is usually a tedious experience for beginner users.
- Its user interface design is not simplified enough for smooth navigation, especially on the report pages.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Review
Dynamics 365 is currently used as a company-wide CRM for the management of our sales metrics, customer contact, and database. It is widely used by upper management to track the "health" of their pipelines and sales goals. Lower-level employees use it daily to keep track of customers and data entry. It has been a great tool for running various queries to view performance. Very easy to use.
- Query searches.
- Great user experience and design.
- Displaying data in various charts.
- Global search function tends to freeze a lot.
- Linking emails to certain leads/opps could be improved in both Outlook and Dynamics.

Whether start up, small or well established....Microsoft has the software you need to expand, enhance, and take your business to the next level.
We started off using Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM) as both my business partner and I have used numerous Microsoft products in various positions and companies we worked for. When we decided to start our own business, which is still in the startup stages, we all agreed that Microsoft Dynamics 365 would be the best choice and provide us with the best tools we needed for data, our business insight. UPDATE*********We are still using this software and have found it to be very useful in and for our business matters and needs. We are now a little more seasoned if you will and find it to be a vital necessity for our company.
- We haven't jumped into the marketing as much as we would like but what we have seen and anticipate it will work great.
- The sales module works great.
- The layout can be a little better as far as navigation.
- Pricing

easy to train and create custom documentation
This was part of a custom CRM application for a vanity cosmetic surgical organization. We were brought in to work with on site developers to create custom training and deploy the product nationally. We fielded questions from users, worked with developers to tweak the system, and promote the benefits to the population to garner buy in for the process change. This was an extreme overhaul of process.
- Easily customizable
- Scalable
- Not a complete con - but it did have a different look than what they used before

Dynamics - Perfect for a Seasoned Team with Low Turnover
I was asked to address the growing separation of marketing and sales at a local school (so, in this sense, sales will be considered Admissions). I needed to do several things 1) turn focus towards the completion of the job (leaving the small, menial tasks to the machine), 2) coordinate a way for both marketing and admissions to work together, knowing how well the other department is doing without interference, and 3) ensure quality standards were met when employee retention was a major issue. Microsoft Dynamics was used briefly through a sister account to observe how new employees would take to it, as well as see how currently long-time employees would take to it (reverting to old ways or moving towards the product).
- Data unification - "one stop shop"
- Adaptable pay structure, with customization options
- Not new user friendly, nearly impossible to train someone new in it without them losing interest

Microsoft is hard to beat
It is being used across our whole organization, and it helps to bridge some communication problems and usually works pretty adequately. It definitely helps us to track leads, but sometimes we have issues with the cloud updating that may not be related to the program and just might be our system.
- Great for tracking metrics.
- Helps people stay organized.
- The interface isn't as friendly when accessed on a Mac, but not bad.
- It has a lot of functionality and sometimes it is difficult to find the exact one you are looking for.
Microsoft Dynamics is mainly used by the Marketing Department of our organization. Its main purpose is to provide the back end for our mobile app and to manage loyalty programs. Also it provides reports and dashboards based on customer transactions. It helped set up our customer relations base and reach our guests.
- It has a solid structure to set up customer and loyalty analytics.
- It provides a good amount of reports that could be customized and extended easily.
- Export of some large reports can be problematic and you may have to divide reports into smaller chunks.
- Navigation in the report pages can be difficult.

Dynamic is Dynamite!!
Microsoft dynamics is being used by our company by sales, operations, and admin support employees. Dynamics helps sales track new prospects and house historically relevant data to reengage old prospects and new. Sales process is tracked from start to completion of sale and handed off to operations for implementation. Operations can then see all bites attached to assist in converting over to client status.
- Customizable
- Fast
- Entering data can be tedious. Mass information entering isn’t very easy.
- With customization can also come with more steps to enter some data.

Dynamics CRM for the win
Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the software we use to manage our clients and prospect data and where sales keeps track of opportunities and tracks pipeline, etc. It's also now where our support team tracks support tickets. We have found that the CRM has helped us build stronger relationships, improve productivity and performance and give our staff a single view into the complete activity for any given account or contact. We integrate it with our campaign management platform (Marketo) as well as our sales enablement platform (Seismic) so our entire sales organization (account execs, demo, implementation) can easily see how marketing is also interacting or influencing the buyer journey.
- Integrations
- Customer engagement
- Not particularly strong in completeness of vision
- Higher priced than competition

Manage Financial and Operations together
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is mainly used by the sales and marketing department to keep track of leads and potential leads as well as current and past client contacts. It helps improve the workflow in regards to financial management and customer service as well as other areas. With its vast variety of applications that are integrated, it helps keep everything organized.
- Customer Relationship Management
- Simple layout design
- Pricing - small businesses have smaller budgets
- Learning curve for users not familiar with it

Dynamics 365 at a glance
Battelle is currently using Microsoft Dynamics 365 as its primary CRM system across the entire organization. We use it to track business opportunities throughout the duration of the sales process, from contact generation to order close. This helps the organization overall keep better track of it's current and potential projects.
- It allows opportunities to be linked directly to specific accounts and contacts.
- It allows users to enter specific details of phone conversations they have with clients or potential clients.
- It could provide a better training program.
- It could have a slightly better user-interface.

Happy with Microsoft 365
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is used by our department or customer support team, we call it the Share point. My team members and I use this to share data which contains secured data and we do feel safe as the details are not compromised. The main issue of sharing critical data with the team is what has been addressed.
- Secured
- User friendly
- Customer-centric
- Lively
- Graphics could be improved.

Clarity and data intelligence with Dynamics 365!
Dynamics 365 is being used in our company to track valuable insights that help our teams monitor their relationships with key customers and ongoing interactions with them. The predictive insights from the tool are used to decide future strategies and support our remote teams in working in a more cohesive, aligned manner.
- The dashboards are truly fantastic. Highly customizable, easy to understand, and quick to gain key insights upon logging into the tool.
- Depth of information available in the tool is necessary for various teams to gain the right level of detail they need.
- Integrations with other applications is helpful for our remote teams. This allows different apps to feed into one another and makes it easier to use overall.
- There are very many subpages in the tool, and this can make it more challenging to onboard new users to the tool. It takes some adjusting to, to feel that the tool is seamless.
- As access to info, or access to particular sections of the tool, can be restricted for some users by the main admins, this can be frustrating as not all team members have access to the same information. This means that admins must build more strategy around how the tool will be used.
