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

Pros

"The control that we have of a process and the ability to have everything recorded from the beginning to the end of the process have been the most valuable features."
"Microsoft Team allows for a very dynamic workflow and integrates well with other Microsoft platforms."
"I would recommend this solution to others."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM used to be four versions behind Salesforce, but now it has really caught up."
"My access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM is limited, so I can only access the feature of registering the pipeline and activities. That feature is enough for me to do the job, and is what I find most valuable in the solution."
"The solution's return on investment is worth it."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"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."

Cons

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The overall price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve."

"The pricing is quite high."
"It could be less complicated for smaller organizations."
"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

"The solution is expensive."
"There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"The solution is not expensive."

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
