ABHAY MISRA - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers built-in AI functionality, broad third-party integrations, out-of-the-box AI features and designed specifically for contact centers
The best thing about Genesys Cloud CX is that it's designed specifically for contact centers and offers robust reporting capabilities. It also has a great marketplace for integrations with different third-party applications like Salesforce, Zendesk, and HubSpot. I appreciate how easy it is to integrate with Genesys and utilize its out-of-the-box AI features. Deployment and customization are also easy and straightforward. Furthermore, I like the intelligent routing in Genesys Cloud CX, along with the flexibility between skill-based and queue-based routing. These are valuable, contact-center-focused features. Finally, if the customer is already using AWS and has applications there, Genesys Cloud CX integrates easily with the AWS ecosystem.
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and integrates well with emails, WhatsApp, and SMS gateways
The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the campaign feature. The solution's campaign feature allows you to collate a group of customers and the frequency of email notifications sent to them. You can put an advertising budget for a series of customers, whereby high net-worth individuals will be marketed for high-end products. Low-end customers will be in a different campaign. So, we run campaigns on different sectors of customers. One of the solution's good features is integration because it directly integrates with Microsoft tools. Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Teams are built into it. The solution gives a varied network of text and email gateways, which are already integrated and come with the package.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"The stability is really good."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."
"The most valuable features include being an omnichannel solution with customer journey insights, full reporting, and continuous updates based on consumer feedback through their portal."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a stable solution."
"Integration is the best feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It integrates quickly across multiple apps and has a lot of APIs available that you can link to. It's very customizable, so we're able to tailor it to a client's needs."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has the same features as Salesforce CRM, but what I like about the solution is that it's customizable. It's also one of the top-rated CRMs in the market. I also like that the coverage system of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very, very broad, which means you can do a lot with it versus what you can do with Salesforce CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy to use, the UI is very good, and it has many capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that because this solution uses the cloud, you only have to install it and allocate it to a user, making it quite easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting tab."
"For me, the most helpful functionalities in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are customer engagement, contact management, opportunity management, and order management. The service management features, including ticket management and handling complaints from the call center, are also very useful. One of the key benefits is the faster time to market, as it allows for quicker product delivery and better customer management. The tool also improves customer interaction through the service center, leading to better adherence to KPIs."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by having better integration documentation."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"From my experience, the solution's tech support could improve with a quicker response time."
"It would be better if it were more secure."
"The tool should be micro-services-based. If it's not already implemented, the architecture could be enhanced by transitioning to a microservices-based model. This would allow each module to be managed independently, reducing downtime and enabling teams to work autonomously on specific services."
"Better integration would be an improvement."
"When it comes to any necessary changes or updates, we have issues. It is not very agnostic in terms of working with other platforms. A lot of data transformation had to be done internally in order to send it to various systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"Genesys Cloud has pay-as-you-go pricing, so it's much cheaper than the on-premises solution. Apart from the standard fees, my company pays for Genesys support."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The customers that have Microsoft Office 365, the license price is competitive. It is competitive because the next solution above it is Salesforce, which is licensed quite high. The price annually was approximately $55 per user but we did a combination of users with some of them having the higher range of approximately $85."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"For the price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive a lot of comprehensive functionality. Additionally, it integrates very well. We pay approximately $100 a month to use the solution and we do not have any additional costs."
"The solution is expensive."
