IlyasAhmad - PeerSpot reviewer
A versatile and scalable CRM solution that streamlines business processes with its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with Microsoft platforms
The support they provide is quite commendable. When I was exploring various features of Office 365, being relatively new to it, I encountered a few challenges. Upon raising a support ticket on the Microsoft platform, I not only received prompt emails but also phone calls and engaging sessions. The Microsoft support engineers proved to be very helpful, and I appreciated their structured escalation metrics. Starting with basic assistance, they escalate the ticket to senior technicians if needed, ensuring comprehensive problem resolution. Another notable aspect is the abundance of Microsoft support resources, including videos, articles, and documentation, providing ample guidance for users. The support system offers a wealth of information, making it a valuable resource for problem-solving. I would rate it nine out of ten.
