Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics CRM

We use Microsoft Dynamics CRM both as a Salesforce automation tool as well as a XRM platform to meet internal challenges. It's a flexible enough tool that allows our business analyst (non-programmers) to rapidly prototype through configuration and vastly extendible for our developers to enhance the platform to meet more advanced business cases/needs. The 2013/2015 updates have vastly improved the user experience bringing much richer UI and business configu
  • Built on MSFT stack so development is simple to pick up for any .NET developers
  • Different deployment options (on-premise, cloud) fits vastly different business(and legal) needs across all industries and business sizes.
  • Limited out of the box reporting capabilities, most enterprise companies will require custom reports and/or additional reporting/BI products
  • Faster/more efficient lead conversion
  • Stronger adherence to business rules/processes
Microsoft Dynamics CRM is well suited for companies that already (or plan to) use Microsoft's suite of tools (SharePoint, Office, etc.). Microsoft plans on increasing its update schedule so companies that plan on using a continuous lifecycle method to manage development will likely benefit more (although updates are not required).
