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.

AI call insights have improved quality scores and optimize multilingual coaching in our center
In my experience with Verint Citizen Engagement, the best features include AI, call summary, and a very friendly UI. The UI stands out for me and my team because it is intuitive. You want something, and here is the button for it, with no need to dig deep for anything. It shows what is really important, making it very user-friendly compared to the current application I am using. Verint Citizen Engagement has positively impacted my organization by improving our quality score. I get to listen to calls, receive summaries, and understand call sentiments, which guides me on which calls are worth my time. This feedback was crucial for my agents and it helped drive the overall quality to exceed expectations. I have seen specific outcomes with metrics indicating improvement. CSAT improved, quality score improved, and overall customer engagement improved, which is very important since I work in sales.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have received a high ROI from using Microsoft Dynamics CRM considering it's such a vital part of our organization's entire operations and its ability to consistently be upgraded to have new features and benefits and integrations with emerging software."
"Microsoft Dynamics is user-friendly and intuitive. It's easy to understand how it works."
"The flexible design is highly usable, and I have seen time-saving benefits from using this solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good software because it has a lot of features."
"The way it effectively works with the array of other Microsoft tools, such as Azure, is valuable. It works very well with the use of data linking and things like that. Overall, it is a great overall tool to have an effective understanding of the transactional background of each of our customers."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has plenty of valuable features."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM was more reliable than Spiceworks, which is what caused us to switch."
"It's a good solution for enterprise-level companies."
"Verint Citizen Engagement has positively impacted my organization by improving our quality score; CSAT improved, quality score improved, and overall customer engagement improved, which is very important since I work in sales."
"Verint Citizen Engagement has definitely helped us become more organized."
 

Cons

"The price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."
"From my experience, the solution's tech support could improve with a quicker response time."
"During a period of time, restoring data and maintaining it could be better in Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"There is room for improvement in handling nonlinear sales processes and complex quoting."
"I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good tool, but if you don't have experience using a CRM solution, there are a lot of things you'll need to learn. This tool needs to be more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is operational enough, in terms of frequency, but an area for improvement would be its dashboard. Currently, it's widget-like, so hopefully, it could be improved, particularly to allow you to create a custom dashboard using a query. A custom dashboard would make the solution better and is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM because right now, it only has a default dashboard, but maybe my account has limited access, so I can only see the default version of the dashboard."
"Sometimes it messes up with translation or shows stress, not accounting for cultural differences, particularly needing more training with Urdu speakers."
"I think Verint Citizen Engagement is very useful for organization and for using and navigating the dashboard, however, the interface could be updated to require less clicking when jumping between scorecards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a three-year ELA with all our Microsoft solutions and often we had to do a true-up which was approximately $1,000,000. Additionally, we pay approximately $2,500 a month for support."
"The customers that have Microsoft Office 365, the license price is competitive. It is competitive because the next solution above it is Salesforce, which is licensed quite high. The price annually was approximately $55 per user but we did a combination of users with some of them having the higher range of approximately $85."
"The solution is not expensive."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution. However, most good CRMs are expensive."
"The cost could be cheaper. I would rate them 3 out of 5."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
