Sentiment score
6.4
NICE CXone customer service is polite and effective, though complex issues may have delayed resolutions due to request nature.
Sentiment score
5.3
SharePoint support quality varies; some rely on external teams for better service due to complications and infrastructure differences.
This team manages all queries and uses various plugins, such as Tempo for time tracking.
When I faced an issue with reaching a Poland DID that was ported to NICE CXone, their support team resolved the problem immediately.
We have our own technical account manager which provides us with substantial visibility.
If the issue is network-related or involves configuration, or maybe implementing a new tool, it might take north of 24 hours to identify the right resource to assist you.
There is a lack of detailed and timely responses, and support is not always transparent with the solutions.
The quality of Microsoft's technical support is very high.
It's also difficult sometimes to get the right information because we speak at first to a generalist and they have to go to a specialist.

Atlassian Confluence scales well for many users; however, cloud setups and costs can present challenges for some organizations.
Sentiment score
6.2
NICE CXone is highly scalable and adaptable, efficiently managing extensive loads and supporting broad use cases without difficulty.
Sentiment score
6.7
SharePoint is highly scalable and adaptable, supporting various user scales; proper setup and planning mitigate storage challenges.
I have migrated approximately 500 people to the system, and it can certainly support more users beyond this number.
Making it easy to scale from a load-balancing and infrastructure perspective.
SharePoint is massively scalable and I would rate it as 8.5 out of ten.
SharePoint allows multiple teams to work at the same time, making it adaptable for large data volumes.

In general, the stability is good.
While the system often operates without issues, there have been instances of reports involving VM resource congestion, WFM issues, and RT problems.
The stability of SharePoint is high; it is quite stable and resilient.
Everything runs smoothly, and I have no problems with its stability.

Room For Improvement

Atlassian Confluence struggles with integration, pricing, and user access, needing improvements in collaboration, customization, and interface efficiency.
NICE CXone needs an improved user interface, better audio, streamlined reporting, enhanced AWS control, and competitive pricing.
SharePoint users seek improved usability, document management, customization, and training, facing challenges with setup, updates, and licensing.
The software does not currently have any kind of AI integration.
This chart used AI to offer users the option to create it based on the data.
Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio.
Microsoft forces users to upgrade their license to access proper auditing information, which is essential and should be included in any license.
The rights management aspect can be particularly challenging, which may affect the overall user-friendliness of the product.
Expansion of scalability is needed, specifically the threshold limits for site items should be increased beyond the current 5,000 items.
 

Setup Cost

Atlassian Confluence pricing varies with user base and setup, with costs increasing for plugins and external access.
NICE CXone requires careful evaluation of tiered licensing costs and features, especially considering data transition challenges.
SharePoint pricing varies by business needs, with cloud options for small businesses and complex licensing for larger enterprises.
It streamlines license management and renewal processes, which can otherwise lead to complications or lapses in access.
Unlike Drupal, all necessary applications are included in the Microsoft license, making it cost-effective.
Microsoft offers bundled pricing for Office, SharePoint, and Exchange, making it cost-effective.
Enterprise licensing is generally cost-effective compared to individual purchases.
 

Valuable Features

Atlassian Confluence excels with ease of use, collaboration tools, Jira integration, customizable templates, and cross-device accessibility.
NICE CXone enhances business efficiency with customizable features, seamless integration, and real-time management tools, offering flexibility and control.
SharePoint boosts productivity with collaboration, document management, Office integration, and automation, benefiting large enterprises through adaptability and powerful features.
This tool provides a single repository for interacting with the entire team.
The switch from using Avaya, which required connecting to a hard or soft phone, to using WebRTC via a web browser has significantly improved customer service efficiency.
Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents.
Additionally, SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions.
Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful.
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is the ability to collaborate on documents without having multiple versions.

Rabindra K Maharana - PeerSpot reviewer
Editing features improve document accessibility
There is a holiday calendar, however, I need to install an app or add something to it. The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented. Guidance on this should be available in a forum. Recently, I used a feature in another tool—perhaps GitHub—where it helped prepare a chart. It involved listing resources, like having fifteen people in the X team, ten in the Y team, and seven in the Z team. It created a bar chart showing these numbers. This chart used AI to offer users the option to create it based on the data. It was then created on a separate page and made available.
Antoneil Phillips - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time adjustments enhance call management, though pricing needs improvement
The reporting isn't bad, but there are opportunities for improvement; we get real-time dashboards for monitoring, though for performance management, we have to procure certain reports manually by pulling down raw data from the system, which could be better. Regarding the pricing, this would be an area of opportunity as well; this feedback is based on where we're positioned in the Caribbean. Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
Madhur D'silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
