It has helped us improve our latency performance drastically
As a large scale high performance trading platform serving the high frequency trading community, latency has always been critical for our clients. Before using Azul Zing JVM, we would have had to spend a lot of effort tuning our JVM GC and profiling our application to minimize latency, which is…

Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys
One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Performance of the JVM, especially the C4 Pauseless Garbage Collection, for continuous application execution is the most valuable feature."
"Zing has completely solved the garbage collection problem for us."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."
"GC Pause times are maintained in low milliseconds, which is beneficial for applications with high volume, high memory allocation rate, and a high memory footprint, and it also increases throughput by approximately 20-25% as compared to Oracle Java Development Kit based on some tests that I have done with real applications."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance drastically."
"The non-stop garbage collector (C4 - Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) is the most valuable feature."
"With Zing, we've now been able to re-allocate those tuning resources to general product development."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."
"NICE CXone has positively impacted my organization by seamlessly joining our calls without any call drops, allowing me to listen to a call with ease, and making everything really easy to use and self-explanatory."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"The only thing I liked about this was the fact that you can create an online help system where information changes dynamically."
"If you are wondering if you or your company should use NICE inContact, I would suggest reaching out to them and asking for a demonstration."
"Converting our PDFs to MindTouch is like adding a huge new feature to our software product line and it has, so far, had a great approval rate amongst our clients."
"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."
"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."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
 

Cons

"It is extremely expensive."
"The licensing over non-production environments considerably affects the cost of our solution as a software vendor."
"The profiling tools included with Zing lag behind those available for Oracle's Java implementation."
"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"We have encounter stability issues and that has been a source of frustration at times."
"However, like every other great product, there is always something that can be improved."
"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"One of the things I dislike about NICE CXone is that during the evaluation process, it was promised that true omnichannel routing would be part of the product, but it turns out that was not necessarily the case."
"One area where CXone could improve is in creating a more streamlined, user-friendly interface."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
"However, being a NICE consumer or developer for these instances and products currently, it becomes challenging due to documentation issues and the instability of some products."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"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."
