Started a job where they use Microsoft Dynamics - do I quit immediately?

Thought I was making a good call here but uhhhhhh for anyone who's used Microsoft Dynamics, is it actually the worst CRM ever?? Anyone know of any worse CRMs??


Waiting for my VP to say sike and give me a Hubspot account, will update soon

๐Ÿคฃ Hahaha.

Can't say for certain as the success and efficacy of a CRM is so dependent on how it's been implemented and how it integrates with your tech stack... But, ya know, based on the vibe I'm getting, doesn't sound like a great situation.

It's just so old school, feels like a big step back lol. Considering just getting free version of hubspot and manually adding accounts to track in 2 CRMs

Thats bad but it could be worse. I started at a company at which they didn't even have a proper CRM software. The reps there were using Excel.

I used Sugar at my first job, and I thought it was trash.ย  I guess the follow-up question is, have they implemented it well and have work processes built around it?ย  If they haven't, do you really think they are going to be a sales first org?ย  Or are they an ops first org?

@DataSlangahย is right - Sugar is trash.

Never heard of Sugar before! Honestly it seems to lean way heavier into ops. They're big on forecasting and data, but it's the farthest thing from user-friendly for actually "front-line" use.

To be honest, we switched from Salesforce to Dynamics, it's been better...ย

I'm in similar shoes. I just started working for a company that is moving from Google sheets to Hubspot and nothing is set up right.

If you do quit, make sure next time you ask about a company's CRM before you accept your next job!ย

Yes, quit. jkjk, but for real - I think it depends on how it's been implemented. I've heard Dynamics can be manageable when deployed and configured the right way. That said; I've never had to use it. Sounds awful though. Good luck.ย

Yes - maybe not necessarily because of Dynamics but for the use/implementation. Waste of time to work for a company that doesnโ€™t know how to create the best resources for the Sales team.ย

Unless you're all inbound I would also not like that CRM. My girlfriend used it, but she was all in bound so it wasn't a big deal to her

If used rightly, may be this could do away if there are something like salesloft. If no, better to push for one or you push out
Hope things are better

My company uses SAP for CRMย 

no, no itโ€™s not a real CRM but they were sold by an Ace rep in Belgium office which went global (clearly)
itโ€™s been 2 years and weโ€™re going to SFDC soon

my own personal hell, I used to work for Hubspot so I know how good it could be

Would it effect your decision to accept a new job if the company didn't use Salesforce?
