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.

A CRM system that helps you automate and integrate your customer data and customer facing-activities: sales, marketing, service, and e-commerce
One area for improvement is the security model, especially regarding records management retention and the audit and legal holds. Since we're in the middle of a cloud digital transformation, it's essential to ensure the system flags documents properly according to global retention policies. We need to address bugs and make sure our system fully aligns with our procedures and policies. This is crucial to prevent breaches, especially in a time when breaches are becoming more common. For instance, my personal identity was compromised four months ago when my mortgage company had a breach, and I’m still working with the FTC to clean up the damage. In my work in mortgage and financial services, I’m focused on preventing this kind of issue for our consumers and clients.

Cons

"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."
"Claiming a Pinpoint number should be more integrated with Amazon Connect."
"The B2C features of SAP are strong, but they are not very known to the public and companies. They must make it more known for B2C applications or B2C use cases."
"As SAP CRM is still in its pilot version in my company, and my team is still experimenting on it, there's little room for exploration, but its setup is not as straightforward, so this could be an area for improvement."
"In terms of stability, there are some latency issues."
"The tool's installation on the cloud takes time, but it should be easier. One transaction takes around one to one and a half hours."
"SAP must provide a demo system for the customers."
"The product is very expensive."
"CRM is costlier than its competitors."
"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon Pinpoint itself is inexpensive. However, additional services that may be required in conjunction with it, such as custom reporting services, can be costly."
"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
"SAP CRM offers a free trial for anyone wanting to test the product before purchasing it."
"SAP CRM is an expensive product."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"We pay for the license yearly."
"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
