Find out in this report how the two CRM solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Collaboration, pace of change, new features being rolled out, and support service are the valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service."
"I mainly do customer management, setting records, and things like that."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service's most valuable features are the ability to create meetups for customers and support daily business functions."
"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 insights are quite helpful."
"Offers integration with hosted solutions."
"It has easy-to-use customization features."
"It is a stable product."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use. If you take the standalone product, it is so easy to use, but if you want a tailor-made Zendesk Guide, you can't do it yourself. However, you can use a template that already exists—they have a lot, and they're very cheap, around 300-400 euros—and use it on all your brands. It's a very easy product to use."
"The most valuable features of Zendesk Support are collaboration, reports, and a self-service portal. The customer and team can see all the information needed from the portal."
"I found the user experience with vendors on Zendesk to be straightforward, especially when it comes to understanding and searching for specific tickets. The search and navigation tools are easy to use, and I haven't encountered any issues with delays or communication gaps in ticket resolutions."
"We rarely had issues with Zendesk."
"Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What is cool about Zendesk Guide is how it works together with others Zendesk products. Especially with support and with the analytics. Put those together for a small or medium-sized company and it's a really powerful tool."
"It has good management, the ability to sign tickets based on content, the multi-channel support, the self service portal, the integration with Salesforce, the setup process, and the product features as we are currently using them."
"They could improve the components to be more user-friendly. It needs to be more interactive for new users to operate."
"There are some occasional performance issues."
"The things that are needed are not available in the documentation."
"The product doesn’t meet standard functionality. There should be enough features included in it."
"They could add a new chart or dashboard for visualization in the product."
"The solution could better integrate with other enterprise solutions."
"I didn't like the solution very much because its functionality is a bit typical and old-fashioned, and the entire system needs upgrading."
"The platform’s UI could be better."
"There is always a network issue with Zendesk. But we don’t know whether it is managed. The network issue is that when I call, it does not let us."
"The dashboard could be better."
"As per me, there arent much significant issues or areas for improvement with Zendesk, as my usage of it is limited. I appreciate its ability to organize tickets effectively based on tags, allowing me to easily gather and analyze customer feedback and requests."
"If I write an article, and I have a team of 30 people, and they all have a Zendesk account, when I write an article, I send them an email. "Hey guys, I just wrote this article. It's one of the most popular topics this month on which we are not covered. Please check it and make sure that you include it in your resolutions". The issue is, once I send it to those 30 people, and they open it, the next morning, that article is the most popular article."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"Zendesk Guide could be improved by allowing us to put our assets in one location. What happens now for each article, for example, is we have to upload the images for that article to that location, so the image reuse is still not something that they have perfected. If they could allow us to update all the images in one location, and then pull the image from there, it would be easier when working on Multibrand projects. There are no Multibrand updates available—we have to update each brand manually. For my company, I have come up with an API tool which allows me to push the content to multiple brands together, but if you don't have something like that, you have to manually do it."
"They have something called Zendesk Explore, which isn't as good as what they had in place previously."
"The support team is time-consuming, and they don't find the answer to our problem."
