Featured Reviews

Afzal Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Operations Crypto at a tech company with 201-500 employees
Automated outreach has streamlined user off‑boarding and ensures fast, compliant fund withdrawals
There may be improvements around agent management. Recently, I heard that Acqueon significantly upgraded how it calculates agent availability in the UI. Previously, the system only looked at agents who were completely idle before dialing. The vast improvement is in the agent systems, which they have already made, so I don't think there is anything to add in that area. The dashboard could improve because it was a bit rigid. Whenever my operational team needed to create a unique minute or hourly performance view during our critical time, we had to rely on complex custom data filters, which slowed down immediate decision-making.

CX Intelligence Analytics at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Advanced call routing has enabled complex CRM-driven workflows but reporting still needs improvement
The complex call routing capabilities were valuable. I was able to set up fairly complex call routing, capturing data via internal IVR for potential customers' geography and then conducting lookups to determine which skill to route calls to. I also set up complex rollover, so if the first person could not answer, callers would wait a specified number of seconds hoping they would become available, and if they did not, the call would roll over to the next person. I was able to set up fairly complex integrations between our CRM and leverage that data for complex call routing, and it worked well. The integration and call routing both performed well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect positively impacts my organization by automating the campaign and the sending of emails and pop-up messages based on the status of the customers who have not obtained a debit card, and I see a benefit for my team as it was not necessary to keep track or manually do work, which was automated by Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect."
"With Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect, it was only one percent of that staffing need and we completed off-boarding within six months, whereas otherwise it might have easily taken us two to three years, really saving us a lot of money and making it worth the investment."
"I like the fact that I can customize the cadencing. I can drill in and create custom contact point cadencing for all of our different categories of leads. We attack some people more aggressively, but others much more softly. I have much more confidence that things aren't slipping through the cracks. It continues to bring customers up for us until they've either moved through the cycle or we've removed them from the cycle. It gives us greater peace of mind. The ability to get in quickly and customize many of those pieces easily was appealing to us."
"The technical support for Five9 has been exemplary."
"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."
"Five9 is extremely easy to manage and maintain."
"Overall, Five9 has made my job easier compared to before, and I do not struggle with it."
"I'm interested in all the features we're using and the reporting that's needed to get them up and running."
"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."
"I rate the overall Five9 solution a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"I think Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect can be improved by making the user interface easier to read."
"Five9 has an active-passive high-availability model. I would prefer active-active."
"I rate Five9 support five out of 10. My experience with Five9 support has been mixed. It's good at times but not particularly helpful sometimes."
"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 should provide free training resources for end users, including agents, supervisors, and admins."
"What would make Five9 better is a partnership with an SMS AI solution, which would make Five9 pretty powerful."
"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."
"The pricing could be improved. It is set in US dollars, so it doesn't account for the exchange rate with other regions."
"I would like to see more of the functions from the original Five9 adapter included in the Salesforce Plus adapter, as they do not automatically update when Five9 releases new features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Five9 is a little expensive because of our company's size. That said, it scales pretty well. The daily usage costs and monthly fees seem about right. It's not out of line with what we'd expect from other companies. However, they seem to have a one-size-fits-all implementation fee. Most of their clients have hundreds if not thousands of seats in the call centers, so $5,000 or $10,000 is not a huge cost. It would be nice if they had a sliding scale for smaller companies."
"The product is not the most expensive, but it's not cheap."
"Their license structure, out of the box, is better than that of other providers and their pricing is much less than other vendors we've looked at."
"The cost is not at the lower end of the market, but it's worth it."
"Five9 is expensive, but most companies would find that using it is worth the cost."
"The pricing seems reasonable. I had anticipated that whatever solution we went with would be more expensive. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the features that we had in Evolve IP, one-to-one, did not cost significantly more in Five9."
"Five9 is reasonable."
"I prefer Five9's licensing model."
