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.

Cons

"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly and having a better design."
"The performance could be improved."
"The pricing of Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be complex due to Microsoft's complicated licensing model."
"It would be better if it were more secure."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
"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."
"Overall, the solution has the same functionalities as other CRMs such as Salesforce, but Salesforce is much simpler to use. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is complicated to use, and this is another area for improvement."

"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

"Microsoft often encourages customers to commit to multi-year enterprise-level agreements, such as three or five-year deals with a minimum commitment of, for example, $200,000 dollars. However, in order to acquire more customers, I believe Microsoft should offer this same rate for one-year commitments for customers who want to experience it."
"The solution is expensive."
"The annual license for Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be reduced, it is expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten with one being expensive and ten being of great value, I would rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM at six on pricing."
"My organization pays for the license, and I do not know how much it costs."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"I give the price of the solution an eight out of ten."
