Offers excellent scalability and is user-friendly
In my experience, the deployment of Genesys Cloud was relatively easy compared to on-premise solutions. However, it depends on the project's complexity and budget. Typically, a team of specialists is involved, including IVR, reporting, support, and business development experts. The team size varies based on project requirements and can range from one person to multiple specialists. Genesys is fully deployed in the cloud. With the cloud product, everything is integrated into one single application, making deployment and integration much simpler. Unlike the on-premise product, which requires separate applications for different functions like IVR, reporting, routing, and databases, the cloud version consolidates everything into one platform. Genesys Cloud requires ongoing maintenance, especially if there are change requests from the client side. For example, if the client wants to expand their business to include social media or multimedia channels, or if they request additional features like outbound calling or web messaging, maintenance personnel are needed to implement these changes.

Helps to understand customer journey better
We use Oracle CRM for customer segmentation.  Oracle CRM helped us better understand the customer journey.  I like the tool's ability to handle lots of data. It is well documented and throws off errors in areas that you need to pay attention to.  Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's a complete cloud solution, so it's reliable and 99.99% available. It's also elastic. Genesys Cloud also has chatbots, which I find valuable."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"The most valuable features include being an omnichannel solution with customer journey insights, full reporting, and continuous updates based on consumer feedback through their portal."
"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's easier to use because everything is already built. Another valuable feature of Genesys Cloud is drag-and-drop."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"The stability is really good."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"Oracle CRM integrates seamlessly because it's an end-to-end solution."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle CRM is the organization it provides."
"Oracle CRM is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."
"It is difficult to highlight the most valuable features because the system as a whole works very well for our loyal program. It is a very good system and I believe that they are the oldest loyalty system on the market. The service is very good, with many customizable options, and has a strong database to help us build our rules and point systems for the loyal program."
"The forecasting reporting section was the most useful."
 

Cons

"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
"An improvement would be to lower the price of the license."
"The user interface could be better. It's currently running on an older Java UI format, which could be upgraded to Fiori."
"Though Oracle CRM's support has a good reaction time, it needs to be better."
"It’s complex to customize the tool."
"The product is not intuitive."
"We noticed that sometimes it can be slow, and then we have to refresh the whole system."
"The user interface and performance could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Genesys Cloud has pay-as-you-go pricing, so it's much cheaper than the on-premises solution. Apart from the standard fees, my company pays for Genesys support."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The product's pricing is manageable and flexible."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"There are licenses needed to use this solution and they are managed by our product team."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"The costing for this solution is very high. It targets top tier companies. This solution can be split up into multiple modules to cater to the low tier customers."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a twelve. Oracle CRM is on the expensive side."
