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.

Unified customer service has provided real-time insights and supports flexible, intuitive workflows
We have a customer service application for customer service in a smaller group, and for most purposes, we use the direct platform. It is a unified channel that depends upon the business. We do not use all channels, but we leverage them wherever they are applicable. The interface is intuitive and depends upon the business. Whenever there is a request for information, we come up with a design and then provide the opportunity to see if it is usable or if they would prefer it in another fashion. Out of the box, it is acceptable. It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side. Although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information. Real-time information is available. It includes both a dashboard and the customer service front desk UI.

Quotes from Members

Cons

"The solution could improve by having better integration documentation."
"There are more people using Salesforce. Therefore, there are more partners, and applications for it, and is easier to use."
