Room For Improvement

Cognigy.AI needs improvements in version control, security, IDE integration, documentation, onboarding, agent management, and enterprise templates.
Five9 needs enhancements in call quality, reporting, integration, UI, support, costs, international compatibility, and workflow tools.
Creating a version control would really help developers.

It would be beneficial if the platform could connect to Visual Studio Code so that technical people can easily debug without having to go node by node.

Five9 should provide free training resources for end users, including agents, supervisors, and admins.

Featured Reviews

S Sahitya - PeerSpot reviewer
Conversational AI developer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Visual designer has streamlined building enterprise chatbots and supported rich API integrations
Overall, I had a good experience with Cognigy.AI Platform, but I think there are a few areas that could be improved. The onboarding experience for new users could be more intuitive with additional hands-on tutorials and real-world sample projects. I also think the debugging and error tracing experience could provide more detailed guidance when integrations or conversation flows don't behave as expected. Finally, having more pre-built templates and connectors for common enterprise use cases would help teams get started even faster. Regarding that, I think the documentation could include more end-to-end enterprise examples and best practices for common use cases. It would also be helpful to have more interactive tutorials for new users and improved debugging tools that provide clearer error messages and troubleshooting guidance. Other than that, I didn't encounter any major issues during my evaluation and found the overall user interface clean and easy to navigate.

Advanced call routing has enabled complex CRM-driven workflows but reporting still needs improvement
The complex call routing capabilities were valuable. I was able to set up fairly complex call routing, capturing data via internal IVR for potential customers' geography and then conducting lookups to determine which skill to route calls to. I also set up complex rollover, so if the first person could not answer, callers would wait a specified number of seconds hoping they would become available, and if they did not, the call would roll over to the next person. I was able to set up fairly complex integrations between our CRM and leverage that data for complex call routing, and it worked well. The integration and call routing both performed well.
