The Copy Schedule Activities reduces time spent for changing activities. Agents are not able to cancel an approved request in the Time Off Request area.
I cannot speak about the difference for the QM software. My main use is of the WFM software. A few of the features were "nice to have" features, but version 9.3 had some "deficiencies". The main problem was not being able to run scenarios in a pseudo scheduling area, so the way Calabrio is now, agents can possibly see test scenarios. Another problem is the Time Off Request area. Agents are not able to cancel an approved request through this area. The sorting/filtering could be improved upon greatly. We are scheduled to upgrade to version 10.0, which will resolve many of the issues we do not like about the current version that we are using. Update: We are still on version 9.3 and looking forward to upgrading.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Copy Schedule Activities has been a favorite tool. It reduces time spent when I need to make changes which are identical to multiple agents' schedules."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"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 most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"The stability is really good."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
 

Cons

"Give agents the ability to cancel approved requests for time off. Vacation plans do actually change in the real world."
"Being able to "publish" or rerun the schedule for only one agent would be ideal."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"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."
"The cost needs to be improved, and it should be easier to integrate."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
