Featured Reviews

AA
IT Manager at Namchow (Thailand) Ltd.
Global communication has improved customer meetings but remains costly and limited in reach
The most valuable features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are that both software platforms are the same, with only the video conference being different. The quality is acceptable for our needs. The benefits I have seen from using Cisco Webex Contact Center are that it is easy to contact customers and easy to open issues regarding hardware problems.
JB
Founder at SJT Consult
Omnichannel contact center has unified customer interactions and delivers smarter routing
Regarding scripters, I should clarify that Genesys Cloud CX dashboards provide real-time data, showing call counts, satisfaction levels, and pending interactions in the queue. Agents can see their workload and know when to take breaks, with managers benefiting from comprehensive team management. We also created dashboards tailored for point-of-sale locations managed by Genesys Cloud CX, and overall, we have been very satisfied. However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler. My overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX has been positive but should be seen in perspective, as nothing is purely black or white; there are shades of gray. While the metrics and system capabilities reflected success, our goal in implementing Genesys Cloud CX was to standardize processes. Thus, we faced challenges related to change management due to the tool's complexity. It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The technical support for Cisco Webex Contact Center is high quality and I would rate it at least nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are that both software platforms are the same, with only the video conference being different, the quality is acceptable for our needs, and it is easy to contact customers and easy to open issues regarding hardware problems."
"The collaboration function is an important feature. The tool is used for telecommuting and distance communication. For example, you can use Webex if you have a global service or team that needs to collaborate online."
"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"The best features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are the ease of use, and while the platform has pretty standard features, it is definitely easy to use, and the impact of the omnichannel communication on customer experience consistency is quite good."
"Cisco technical support is outstanding."
"The ROI is really good with some of our clients, as their profit margins have increased using the solution because of the additional contact they have with their clients."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"Genesys Cloud CX platform's unified interface has improved agent efficiency a lot; compared to other platforms, it contributes about 40 percent to agent efficiency since agents do not have to toggle between multiple screens, allowing them to focus on the solution and respond to customers effectively."
"The stability is really good."
"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."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
 

Cons

"The scalability of the solution is limited in that it cannot scale out effectively. This is why I have attempted to use Microsoft Teams to achieve greater scalability than Cisco Webex because I believe Cisco Webex is very expensive."
"It is not straightforward for beginners but is very straightforward for those familiar with it. It can be a little complicated for those who have not worked on it before."
"When we deal with them, there is sometimes a lot of back and forth due to our unique requirements, as nobody is perfect."
"Cisco Webex Contact Center needs more improvements, especially as they lagged behind initially in adopting cloud technologies."
"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"When comparing Cisco to free collaboration tools like Google Meet and Teams, often included with Microsoft licenses, some clients, particularly those not in the enterprise sector, might prefer the free or more cost-effective options."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a cheap product, especially when compared to Microsoft Teams."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"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."
