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.

Customization and automation drive effective user training and insights sharing
Recently, the price of SAP CRM has increased, which is one concern. Another issue is that sometimes we experience slow performance. Reports in SAP CRM itself can become very slow. Other than that, it is a very good CRM system. I am happy with SAP CRM because whenever we have requirements for changes or customization as per our needs, we get them, and the downtime is minimal. We are getting very good support from the incident team and the in-house support team who are responsible for customization. Some customer centers have moved to Salesforce, but I don't have any experience with Salesforce to make a comparison.

Pros

"From my experience, Amazon Pinpoint's most valuable feature is its ability to deploy outbound projects quickly. It is easy to use when setting up outbound campaigns, allowing us to deploy solutions rapidly. It is easy to learn."
"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is lead management and integration."
"It was comfortable setting up the tool."
"The solution assists us in identifying what to send, what to offer, and what customers are buying."
"The stability is good."

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."
"What I see as a challenge against our competitor is that Salesforce comes with more flexibility, for enhancement purposes, whereas the SAP CRM Cloud is more robust and rigid. It's not flexible to implement any bespoke solution."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"We would like the coding system within this solution to be more straightforward when carrying out general entry tasks."
"CRM is costlier than its competitors."
"There could be some specific configurable options on the UI level to improve visibility."
"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."
"Our users are using it primarily from their laptop browser and very few are using it on their mobile because the mobile is not that user-friendly."
"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 offers a free trial for anyone wanting to test the product before purchasing it."
"The product is expensive."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"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."
