Room For Improvement

Five9 users report issues with call quality, UI design, reporting, integration, pricing, and require better support and omnichannel management.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM requires enhancements in usability, customization, integration, cost-effectiveness, automation, and support for small businesses.
I would like a feature where reports such as AHT or workforce-related reports can be generated automatically without starting from scratch.
Five9 should provide free training resources for end users, including agents, supervisors, and admins.
The solution lacks versioning in scripting, making it crucial to manually back up scripts to prevent rollbacks from causing issues.
More use-case-oriented material should be provided to help users and implementers learn how to do more, faster.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM needs improvement in simplifying the setup and configuration process, which can be relatively complex when we want all features to work properly.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers value Five9's flexible, cost-effective pricing, allowing scalable features and reducing upfront investment compared to on-premises solutions.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM is costly yet valued for comprehensive features, with prices influenced by users, licensing, and deployment type.
They just rent the specific resources they need, which reduces high costs from hardware, software licenses, and operating systems.
The pricing of Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be complex due to Microsoft's complicated licensing model.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM costs about $110 to $115 per user per month, following a recent price increase.
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers easy customization, integration, and features for enhanced business processes, valued for scalability and cost-effectiveness.
It pre-fills variables from a form and routes to the correct agent, reducing handling times and increasing single-call resolution.
Five9 provides powerful CRM integration capabilities with platforms like Salesforce, Zendesk, and Oracle Service Cloud, making it highly valuable for large companies.
The ability to automatically populate borrower details when the call comes in using the Loan Pop feature enhances call efficiency dramatically.
The backend storage integrates seamlessly with OneDrive, and the solution offers robust security features, including Azure integration, two-factor authentication (2FA), and comprehensive audit trails.
The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its integration with Outlook and other Microsoft products like Microsoft 365, which includes emails, Teams, and SharePoint.
I can also create fields and customize them according to my needs.

Featured Reviews

Pedro Pulido - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless integration with our CRM gives our agents all the information in one place
In my role, the admin tools are most valuable, such as using the UI to configure all the campaigns and all the settings that we use. Also, the monitoring panels it has are very good. Our supervisors and sales managers build dashboards in the solution so that we can understand how our operation is performing throughout the day. That is very useful. We have implemented workflows, and the Five9 WorkFlow Automation feature works very well. We're very happy with the tool. Five9 offers a very reliable solution, and that's why we are aiming to implement the new technologies in which AI is involved. We use Five9 with Salesforce, and it works very well. It's seamless. We practically never have problems with that integration. The information comes and goes without a problem. The Salesforce integration helps agents a lot. It's easy to use, so they get familiar with it very quickly. Because of the way it integrates, it's like looking at one platform; it's all on one screen. They can see the call information and the information about the lead. It's very easy to read and very user-friendly. On the side of the workforce that I am on, we are constantly working on improving our costs. We have to understand how long our calls are taking, and we are able to do all that analysis because of how Five9 presents all the information in the dashboard and how quickly we can analyze it. It's very useful to have a practical way to see the information and understand it. Also, making changes is not that hard. For example, maybe we don't want to make that many calls; we want to make fewer. That's easy to do. It's a tool that allows you to make decisions and implement them very quickly.
Pawel-Gawronski - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlining resource management and improving project insights with helpful support
The deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is easy because it's a software as a service, which eliminates the need to deploy anything in our data center. It has improved the verification of value streams by mapping projects to products and demonstrating the total cost of ownership. This automation significantly impacts daily operations by reducing the time spent on manual tasks and improving the quality and delivery time.
