Brand Embassy (discontinued) vs. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service

Though the strengths I listed in the prior question are really hopeful, the negatives outweigh the positives so much that at this time I could not in good conscience recommend this product. I really hope those issues improve - if they do, this would be a really strong tool for a customer service-based company like ours. Particularly one with so many people working remotely. For now, I'm honestly thankful I was able to take a different position here in which I never plan to touch NICE again.

With the constant changes included in the product, we can now use it for all the customer service scenarios / channels, for e.g. earlier for voice, we had to buy 3rd party CTI based tools, but now Voice Channel being available as the part of the product, that solves that thing. Also we see constantly new AI-driven features added to the product that could save lot of time of the agents while working on the cases like case summary, automate email generation, sentiment analysis etc.

• In terms of reports that we get from Brand Embassy, it would be great to have information about the number of cases, or conversations that we have with our customers. At the moment, we have just info about number of interactions and the total workload.
• There are options to tag every conversation, in order to track why our customers contact us. Their tag menu is a bit too small, it would be great if it was larger.

• It occasionally crashes or slow down, but it usually works great.
• Costly.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is generally very user-friendly, especially for those familiar with Microsoft products. The strength of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service is its integration with Outlook and Microsoft Office products like Word, Excel etc. and it user interface being similar to those products. This makes it easy for user to adopt to any new app.

It is difficult to describe just how awesome the support guys and gals at Brand Embassy are. Ever-present and eager to help, with kind and helpful attitude and you can really feel they are doing this to help you make results

Generally I don't see huge differences between social CRM tools - it's mainly in the details of how well it's implemented and connected to your channels. For example other tools cannot easily process non-standard channels like custom made forums or have a e-mail based ticketing for private follow ups. Brand Embassy shines in this area.

• The first year when we started to focus on social care, we received 736 mentions. 4 years later we are dealing with 725, 942 mentions per year without the necessity to hire more people into our social care team. The seven of them are still able to respond to our customers very quickly and with high quality. And we believe that Brand Embassy is the key to our success in social care. Thanks to this tool we can simply manage such a big amount of mentions and questions.

• It has help us serve our customers better and get Support Contracts from them after we have designed / developed and deployed Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service based solutions for them
• Ease of Routing it to appropriate customer support agent
• Because of multiple channel support we now give our customers option to raise a ticket or connect with their preferred communication medium, be it email, SMS, Chat etc.
