There is significant room for improvement in routing and setup challenges
The system is easy to use, especially when logging customer interactions or requests, which flow to the resolution teams. Users can attach documents and easily review past interactions. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service streamlines operations in my customer support department. The automation feature in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service impacts workflows positively by making work easier. When logging customer cases, they automatically flow to the resolution team instead of sending an email. Cases can be easily logged, and feedback can be checked in the same application without sending emails or calling the resolution team. The analytics and reporting tools work perfectly for improving service delivery. We can see full interactions, number of interactions, and how often customers reach out before resolutions, among other metrics. Since implementing the AI feature, our CS scores, customer effort scores, and customer satisfaction scores have improved tremendously. AI has several use cases where it responds to issues immediately and offers the best-case scenario for handling such cases, reducing human impact compared to manually processing complaints before resolution. The main benefit from using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is the great improvement compared to the past manual method of escalating issues to the resolution team. Now, information is collected and logged, flowing to the resolution team, which has significantly improved turnaround times compared to the days it previously took to resolve customer complaints.

Pega Customer Service is an AI-powered, case-centric platform that unifies channels, automates service workflows, and empowers agents to deliver fast, personalized, and consistent customer experiences
1. User Interface Flexibility The Constellation UI architecture, while modern and consistent, limits deep customization. Users want more control over layout, branding, and dynamic UI behavior. 2. Integration Complexity Integrating with non-Pega systems (e.g., legacy CRMs, third-party APIs) can require significant effort and custom development. More plug-and-play connectors would ease adoption. 3. Learning Curve for Configuration Despite being low-code, configuring complex service flows, case types, and AI rules can be challenging for new users. Enhanced guided wizards and templates could simplify setup. 4. AI and NLP Capabilities While Pega offers AI-driven Next-Best-Action, its natural language processing (NLP) for chatbots and sentiment analysis is not as advanced as some competitors. 5. Reporting and Analytics Out-of-the-box dashboards are useful but lack deep customization. 6. Mobile Experience The mobile agent experience is functional but less optimized compared to desktop. Improvements in offline capabilities and responsive design are often requested. 7. Licensing and Cost Transparency Some customers find the pricing model complex, especially when scaling across departments or adding AI features. More modular and transparent pricing would help with budgeting and ROI planning.
