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.

Omnichannel contact center has unified customer interactions and delivers smarter routing
Regarding scripters, I should clarify that Genesys Cloud CX dashboards provide real-time data, showing call counts, satisfaction levels, and pending interactions in the queue. Agents can see their workload and know when to take breaks, with managers benefiting from comprehensive team management. We also created dashboards tailored for point-of-sale locations managed by Genesys Cloud CX, and overall, we have been very satisfied. However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler. My overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX has been positive but should be seen in perspective, as nothing is purely black or white; there are shades of gray. While the metrics and system capabilities reflected success, our goal in implementing Genesys Cloud CX was to standardize processes. Thus, we faced challenges related to change management due to the tool's complexity. It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Genesys Cloud CX is a capable application that allows me to use any app or multiple apps, so I can work with any other applications efficiently."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"We have seen a very good return on investment using Genesys Cloud CX, achieving growth of 117% this fiscal year, which is beyond our expectations, mainly due to customer retention and onboarding."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"After implementing Genesys Cloud CX, we achieved a 97% call response rate compared to 80% with our previous self-service software, and customer surveys showed their call center experience improved from three stars to 4.2."
 

Cons

"I think Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect can be improved by making the user interface easier to read."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."

"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"For the HIPAA instance where we use Genesys as a carrier, we face multiple issues. In that instance, calls are not consistent."
"In terms of cost-effectiveness, I find Genesys Cloud CX provides overall ROI benefits; however, after the first year, customers usually expect lower pricing at the time of renewal."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
