Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the main CRM used not only by the sales and marketing departments of our company but also across the whole organization. Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps us to record the contact information of leads and customers, it also shows from which web page the leads fill in the form.
  • Integration with Outlook and Office 365
  • Simple, easy to navigate interface
  • Nice function to create filters to group different contacts into lists
  • I feel like this CRM is nothing more than a big database. I wish it would be more integrated with web analytics, so I can check which pages the contact has visited.
  • We also have this issue of duplicate leads, meaning the same contact filling out different forms but it shows two different entries in the CRM. The cross checking can be time consuming because we have a big amount of leads.
  • I would like more autonomy to customize the CRM to my benefits rather than having to hire a consultant for that.
  • It is hard to say, the reason why we are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is because it is provided to us for free.
  • It could be worthwhile to investigate whether an alternative CRM (even though paid) can be used to boost the ROI
I think Microsoft Dynamics CRM is far behind HubSpot CRM, especially for me as a marketer who is interested in lead management and nurturing.
If you are looking for a giant database to store up all your contact information, turn to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. But if you are a sales and marketing professional who hopes to understand more about the leads and their journey behaviour on the website, then I think you should turn to something else.
