Has enabled seamless integration across platforms while supporting advanced analytics for customer insights
Microsoft Dynamics CRM doesn't provide solutions that allow you to transform easily if you have a heterogeneous mix of technologies or if your contact center is on analog and you try to digitize it. A lot of custom work is needed if you have to integrate heterogeneous technologies with the Microsoft suite, but if you are using the Microsoft suite, then it's quite seamless. Microsoft Dynamics CRM should add commercial models that allow smaller companies to use it because it can get pretty expensive. Better commercial options for smaller implementations may be helpful. There should be commercial options for smaller companies, as the overheads and costs of Dynamics can be quite high.

AI call insights have improved quality scores and optimize multilingual coaching in our center
In my experience with Verint Citizen Engagement, the best features include AI, call summary, and a very friendly UI. The UI stands out for me and my team because it is intuitive. You want something, and here is the button for it, with no need to dig deep for anything. It shows what is really important, making it very user-friendly compared to the current application I am using. Verint Citizen Engagement has positively impacted my organization by improving our quality score. I get to listen to calls, receive summaries, and understand call sentiments, which guides me on which calls are worth my time. This feedback was crucial for my agents and it helped drive the overall quality to exceed expectations. I have seen specific outcomes with metrics indicating improvement. CSAT improved, quality score improved, and overall customer engagement improved, which is very important since I work in sales.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good software because it has a lot of features."
"The Outlook calendar has been very helpful for us."
"It's been very helpful in ensuring that we're able to provide the best of services and provide responses to whatever queries we get from all our customers."
"The solution is scalable."
"I have used many Microsoft solutions and I am comfortable using the solution. Additionally, it is secure."
"The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features."
"Microsoft is very good in this regard."
"Compared to other partners, the most valuable aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its intuitive APIs, which are customizable and allow for the addition of multiple parameters and attributes. This feature enhances the purpose call in our services. Additionally, the learning curve for contact center agents using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is shorter than with other solution providers. Finally, the commercial aspects of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are superior to those of other solution providers."
"Verint Citizen Engagement has positively impacted my organization by improving our quality score; CSAT improved, quality score improved, and overall customer engagement improved, which is very important since I work in sales."
"Verint Citizen Engagement has definitely helped us become more organized."
 

Cons

"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
"The setup with other email servers, other than Microsoft Outlook, could be improved. Alternatively, we'd like to have some feature that allows us to send emails directly from our inboxes to the CRM and assign it to a certain client."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making the ports and dashboards more intuitive using Microsoft Azure analytical features. Compared to Salesforce and other partners, the dashboards in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are less intuitive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need."
"In terms of the performance, when it comes to loading a large volume of data, it's slow at times, so the system could be optimized."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by adding more artificial intelligence. Additionally, they should add more modules, such as account-based management, that are available on other platforms such as salesforce.com."
"I think Verint Citizen Engagement is very useful for organization and for using and navigating the dashboard, however, the interface could be updated to require less clicking when jumping between scorecards."
"Sometimes it messes up with translation or shows stress, not accounting for cultural differences, particularly needing more training with Urdu speakers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My organization pays for the license, and I do not know how much it costs."
"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"On a scale from one to ten with one being expensive and ten being of great value, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM at six on pricing."
