Omnichannel features have unified journeys and AI now speeds up responses for our agents
NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives. When it comes to solutioning, there are too many SKUs, which are line items or components that could have been bundled together. For example, CXone agent licenses do not include QM in the basic packages, whereas in the Genesis world it is bundled. The price comparison is higher compared to Genesis or other platforms. I have been using Genesis for three to four years across multiple customers, and now that NICE CXone has become available, I have started comparing all the features and benefits. I find there are some gaps, with more features available but at a higher cost for NICE. Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment of NICE CXone, the main challenge is working with the NICE team. The speed of onboarding is lengthy and people-dependent initially. When comparing with other OEMs and CCaaS products, the UI interface and partner portal have multiple access points. I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location. There is room for improvement in this area, though gradually NICE can change this approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ada offers agentic workflow as its best feature, providing the agent capability to personalize customer support and making customer success operations easier."
"The system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
"InContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"Customer support is terrific; the team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"I assess the impact of the omnichannel capabilities on customer journey consistency as excellent, as it is a single pane of glass solution where all channels and omnichannel features are available, which is very supportive and increases customer productivity overall."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
 

Cons

"I would rate this product a 6."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"Occasionally, the system runs slow and will kick us out of Max, which then has to be restarted, and can cause issues as our call center deals with time sensitive phone calls."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown."
"NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives."
"However, Stage labels do nothing. They simply label the page with the Stage name."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
