Claiming a Pinpoint number should be more integrated with Amazon Connect. A phone number claimed from Pinpoint should be compatible with Amazon Connect. Enhancing the experience of contact centers by bringing the Pinpoint console into the Amazon Connect console, so users do not have to navigate to Pinpoint separately, would improve the process.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

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 Journey Orchestrator helps create personalized campaigns based on customers."
"Licenses are cheap if you are a Microsoft shop, easy to to customize."
"Compared to other partners, the most valuable aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its intuitive APIs, which are customizable and allow for the addition of multiple parameters and attributes. This feature enhances the purpose call in our services. Additionally, the learning curve for contact center agents using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is shorter than with other solution providers. Finally, the commercial aspects of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are superior to those of other solution providers."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a good software because it has a lot of features."
"Dynamics is a complete tool that helps the company measure and track sales, orders, current customers, and the sales pipeline."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has the same features as Salesforce CRM, but what I like about the solution is that it's customizable. It's also one of the top-rated CRMs in the market. I also like that the coverage system of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very, very broad, which means you can do a lot with it versus what you can do with Salesforce CRM."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The stability of the solution is high."
"The solution is rock solid and very stable."
 

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."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now; it doesn't seem to render and the responsiveness across different devices, from light testing, just seemed kind of off."
"The initial setup is not straightforward. It took a year to configure Dynamics because it's not very intuitive."
"The solution could have better dashboards and the Microsoft operating system could be more intuitive."
"The pricing is quite high."
"This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement."
"The pricing of Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be complex due to Microsoft's complicated licensing model."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve the integration with the other system. If they have more flexibility to connect with another system it will be more effective."
 

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."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"The cost varies on multiple factors including customization and the number of users."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a seven out of ten."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"My organization pays for the license, and I do not know how much it costs."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM's price is too high."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is very affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
