"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its ease of use."

"The stability has been very good."
"It's very convenient to use."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"The product offers very good management. It has a great ability to assign tickets based on content."
"The feature to move over my customer experience team tickets for different specialists is very valuable for my team."
"It is very easy to connect back and forth between the requester and the person fulfilling the ticket."
"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."
"It lacks to provide a more detailed profile of the customer, which would have been better and more useful."
"Better integration would be an improvement."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making it easier to export data to SharePoint because most of our customers use SharePoint. They have to log into a Microsoft environment platform from their SharePoint for access should be made easier. Additionally, if the customer portal was enhanced for it to be customized it would be a benefit."
"I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."
"The options for customizing Microsoft Dynamics CRM are very limited or highly complex."
"In terms of the performance, when it comes to loading a large volume of data, it's slow at times, so the system could be optimized."
"A built-in automation engine to automate parts of workflows would be beneficial. That's the feature I'd be most happy to see expanded. It's currently tagged as simple automation, but I'd love some predictive capability."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by being more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Zendesk Guide's customization could be improved. I would like it to be easier and maybe open-sourced, so that if you have a developer in your company, you can do it yourself. Right now, that isn't allowed, so you need to have it done via the integrator. Another improvement—this is nit-picking—is that it could be less easy to make changes. Some things are so easy that they sometimes look a little amateur-ish. Most of the templates are built-in so they can be used directly, so they are very simple."
"You couldn't give administrative access to new hires."
"The support team is time-consuming, and they don't find the answer to our problem."
"Sometimes if there was a way to just flag the actual issue out of those email chains - that would be really helpful."
