Sr. Manager, Tmt Business Consulting (Focused On B2 B Tech Product Cos.) at a security firm with 11-50 employees
Enterprise ticketing has streamlined high-volume customer issues and provides unified analytics
The place where you can define the rules is at the back end. That module, where you write the assignment rules or the skill set rules or prioritization rules, has very limited flexibility in these rules engines. More flexible rule-defining back ends that you can customize to your business context more closely than you can right now would be better. Customization for the information design in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is needed. The foundational information that goes into service management comes as foundational information that you need to program into or load into the service management platform. Right now, you need to change the rules to load them in the format that is required, and this should not be happening. AI capabilities in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service are more focused on the productivity aspects and the backend aspects. It is not personalizing interactions. The CRM part is more where these kinds of front-end customer personalizations take place.

Unified customer service has provided real-time insights and supports flexible, intuitive workflows
We have a customer service application for customer service in a smaller group, and for most purposes, we use the direct platform. It is a unified channel that depends upon the business. We do not use all channels, but we leverage them wherever they are applicable. The interface is intuitive and depends upon the business. Whenever there is a request for information, we come up with a design and then provide the opportunity to see if it is usable or if they would prefer it in another fashion. Out of the box, it is acceptable. It has all the features required for supporting the customer service side. Although we are not using the voice feature, it gives people the flexibility to interact and get real information. Real-time information is available. It includes both a dashboard and the customer service front desk UI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I liked the solution's web version and user interface."
"Offers integration with hosted solutions."
"I mainly do customer management, setting records, and things like that."
"It has easy-to-use customization features."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is enterprise-grade, and if you have 5,000, 10,000, or 20,000 employees who are involved in the business of resolving tickets and providing customer support or who are part of these kinds of processes, that is when Dynamics really shines."
"The data is always available to the users regardless of location because of the tool's cloud-based nature. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a perfect ten. The product is highly scalable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service stands out due to its rich features, ease of deployment, and straightforward licensing structure."
"Dynamics CRM is highly effective for managing customer relationships and improving sales processes."
"There was a situation where we needed to integrate our system with other platforms quickly. Typically, this process would require using middleware or additional testing tools. However, integration was easy because we were using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, which is a Microsoft product. It has built-in connectors that integrate with Microsoft systems, making the process much easier."
"The technical support provided for all the solutions from Pega is of the same quality since they have their own internal teams and the same mechanisms, which are good for dealing with issues of different users."
"The product is scalable. It works efficiently for changing existing features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is case management and different configurations."

Cons

"The place where you can define the rules is at the back end. That module, where you write the assignment rules or the skill set rules or prioritization rules, has very limited flexibility in these rules engines."
"The main area for improvement is the pricing model. While it is competitive within the market, there is room for improvement, as is the case with most software vendors."
"The product doesn’t meet standard functionality. There should be enough features included in it."
"They could improve the components to be more user-friendly. It needs to be more interactive for new users to operate."
"The solution could better integrate with other enterprise solutions."
"The product could be serverless."
"The things that are needed are not available in the documentation."
"The platform’s UI could be better."
"The only concern I have seen about the product is its prices."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The licensing cost could also be improved."
"Improvements are always required, but at this moment, the UI is the key area that is not flexible enough for us."
"Pega JVM function needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, the product offers competitive pricing for its feature set."
"I rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing a five out of ten."
"The product's licensing is straightforward. It's user-based, so you decide how many users you want to license, and that's it. On the value-for-money scale, it's average. You do get what you pay for, so I wouldn't call it expensive."
"It is more expensive than other vendors."
"The solution has a corporate enterprise license, which large corporations sign."
"The tool is a bit on the expensive side if we purchase it individually."
"The pricing seems fair."
"While it will apply to all employees, not all will utilize it fully. From a cost perspective, it strikes a balance: It's not overly expensive but also not too cheap."
"The tool's pricing is flexible, and I rate it four to five out of ten."
"The solution provides licenses to users either based on the number of users or the number of cases that an end user creates."
