Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Before using the WFO and its analytics, our quality teams would listen to only 5 percent of contacts a week, per employee, which is a very small part of what an employee is doing... Now, this tool does an automatic evaluation of 100 percent of their calls. It has certainly helped the QA teams in their training, and that, in turn, helps our clients.""I like the ease with which we can make changes if necessary. Currently, we are using it for phone and email distribution, but we're talking about adding chat and delving into the omnichannel features more.""Queue callback, agent skill-based routing, call reporting, and the flexibility to log in from anywhere are some of the most valuable features for our organization.""I'm interested in all the features we're using and the reporting that's needed to get them up and running.""The reporting is good, and we're testing AI summaries now. Also, the workflow automation feature, so far, has been good.""Five9 has a lot of AI tools, which I find valuable. It offers transcription services and a power dialer for outbound dialing. I like that Five9 is built for outbound and suitable for that purpose.""It helped reduce costs in our organization. We've saved on staffing and we've saved on software by 10% to 15%.""What I found most valuable in Five9 is its AI feature, mainly the feature that gives AI summaries called Agent Assist, where the AI listens to the call, transcribes it, and then creates a summary at the end of the call, which has cut the ACW of agents in half."

Cons
"Maybe they could do better on how we access all the data if we want the data to work outside of Five9. Sometimes, that's not the easiest process. It's not bad, but if there's an area for improvement, that could be one.""Five9's stability needs to be improved.""An area for improvement in Five9 is the reporting on the emails, as it's not very user-friendly. It's a bit tricky because you must manually add filters to see how many emails each agent answers.""Maintaining the original DNS on Five9 across campaigns is difficult.""There have also been some challenges in being able to keep the format of an original email. The solution acts as a proxy, but it's not bringing over the full format that the email came in with... Five9's email channel isn't as good as some other vendors' email channels that I've seen. But there is an upgrade coming...""Five9 Omnichannel’s UI could be improved.""It would be ideal if they could combine the tools into one suite.""The knowledge base of their support is not as strong as the IVR build."

  • "Five9 is reasonable."
  • "Five9 is expensive, but most companies would find that using it is worth the cost."
  • "The product is not the most expensive, but it's not cheap."
  • "The product's pricing is flexible and reasonable."
