Provides omnichannel AI features and has good routing capabilities
The routing capabilities are excellent. We have priority routing set up for VIP customers, disabled customers, and those with special needs, ensuring they receive prompt and efficient service. We have implemented a use case where AI helps when a customer calls and says, "My bill is high." The AI searches the customer's profile to check if the high consumption is real or just a misunderstanding. If it is high, the AI creates a notification for the backend to check the issue. The system automatically generates the bill and the notification for the agent, who then views and either submits or rejects the notification. I recommend using the solution for all the features I have mentioned before, including the excellent AI experience, omnichannel, self-service, and customer journey features. I rate it a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support services are good."
"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."
"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."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"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."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"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."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
 

Cons

"The solution should be more flexible on-premises. We are currently on-premises and looking to move to the cloud."
"Its scalability means that it is not a simple 'install and forget' setup."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
"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 pricing is a bit expensive."
"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."
