Ajay Vashishtha - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps to manage outbound campaigns such as automated outgoing calls to end users
In my opinion, Amazon Pinpoint needs improvement in several areas. It lacks many features that competitors like Genesys offer. For example, we cannot set up multiple campaign plans or switch campaigns from one set of customers to another. Additionally, reporting functionality needs to be improved. Amazon Pinpoint's reporting could be improved by providing more detailed insights into call activities. For example, users should be able to see metrics such as the number of end users called, the number of pending calls, and the outcomes of those calls (e.g., successful connections and unanswered calls). Additionally, users should be able to access this information through a dashboard or download reports directly from the platform. The tool's segmentation feature is good. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in updating dynamic segments. Performance is key. If customers or companies using Amazon Pinpoint don't see its effectiveness in reaching their audience, they won't invest in it.
Rishabh Chhajer - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive APIs, customizable design, but dashboards could improve
The most advantageous aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its periodic updates. Every quarter, Microsoft releases upgrades that address bugs and vulnerabilities. As a company governed by the Reserve Bank of India and SAP security regulations for our stock operations, we conduct periodic reviews of our applications, including Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Whenever we submit an audit report and identify bugs, we reach out to the Microsoft team for assistance. They assure us that the issues will be fixed in the next quarterly release. As a result, we have not experienced any outstanding bugs that have not been recorded or addressed.

"The solution is scalable."
