Seismic vs Dynamics 365: Which is a better fit?

Casidy B.: Hi, this is Casidy. I'm a senior district manager. For Seismic, I give them four stars, and for more reviews like this, click below. Seismic was the first thing that we decided to use just because it checked all the boxes right off the bat. Seismic basically was able to cover everything that we needed. There's not just my position within the realm of where I work. So, it was able to capture everyone's position, the information that they were going to need for each position, and organize it accordingly. So yeah, that's one of the main reasons why. Actually getting onboarded and logged in, it was pretty easy. Understanding how to completely utilize Seismic, to be honest, I'm still learning how to do it. I can get caught down the rabbit hole. There's just a lot that I can click on that the company has uploaded. But other than that, I think just searching for specific things, being able to search for something has really helped me get the ins and outs of how to use it. One of the biggest recommendations that I have is just start using it. For me, it was overwhelming at first, but I was just a new hire. Being able to search and actually get my hands into Seismic, seeing the ins and outs and how easy it is to actually start finding the things that I need, organizing the things that I have, utilizing the resources that other people have posted in there, live sending things; to be honest, it's one of the best experiences I've had, especially as the new hire whenever I was hired onto the company.

Adoba: Hi everyone, my name is Adoba. I lead technical and product at Alphora, a team of roughly seven to nine. I rate Dynamics at a four out of five. So we use Dynamics most for sales and our marketing. The sales Microsoft relationship, sales is a big part of what we do. We also use the service part, which is the customer service. The marketing part of Microsoft Dynamics help us keep in touch with our customers and our sales reps with the product. So being in the Microsoft ecosystem is one of the best things with Dynamics. You have access to the entire product line that just works seamlessly together. Like I said, we do sales, CRM, marketing. All of those things are the individual products that we considered, but Microsoft was able to bring them together. The product for our sales, which we use the most, has really grown. The features that they've added has just been tremendous, and that's the best part about Microsoft Dynamics for us. I think there's always an issue with seat based billing, which is what we have with Dynamics today. I think that's just the biggest issue, and sometimes I think being part of the ecosystem of having access to Microsoft Dynamics to their products is an advantage but sometimes it can also be a disadvantage because, for us, we had everything siloed before in different other products but when we decided to use Dynamics we had to bring sales together into one product, bring marketing together into one product, bring our [inaudible 00:01:22] together into one product. That's sort of a disadvantage. I'm not sure how well these three things are able to work outside of each other if they're not connected under the same system so it was a huge consideration for us and I think for anyone who is wanting to use Dynamics.
