"It helped reduce costs in our organization. We've saved on staffing and we've saved on software by 10% to 15%."
"The reporting is good, and we're testing AI summaries now. Also, the workflow automation feature, so far, has been good."
"The tool enables easier management."
"When it comes to drop calls, we don't have a problem. They are performing to our satisfaction."
"I like the fact that I can customize the cadencing. I can drill in and create custom contact point cadencing for all of our different categories of leads. We attack some people more aggressively, but others much more softly. I have much more confidence that things aren't slipping through the cracks. It continues to bring customers up for us until they've either moved through the cycle or we've removed them from the cycle. It gives us greater peace of mind. The ability to get in quickly and customize many of those pieces easily was appealing to us."
"Five9 has a lot of AI tools, which I find valuable. It offers transcription services and a power dialer for outbound dialing. I like that Five9 is built for outbound and suitable for that purpose."
"Five9 has made our contact center more flexible by taking it to the cloud. The user experience for agents is great because everything is on one dashboard, from the dialer to the workflows for transferring calls and creating tickets."
"The product’s IVR script editor is very easy and simple to use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"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 is an excellent platform."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"Maintaining the original DNS on Five9 across campaigns is difficult."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"The SMS feature could use some improvement as far as the opt-out process goes."
"An area for improvement in Five9 is the reporting on the emails, as it's not very user-friendly. It's a bit tricky because you must manually add filters to see how many emails each agent answers."
"There have also been some challenges in being able to keep the format of an original email. The solution acts as a proxy, but it's not bringing over the full format that the email came in with... Five9's email channel isn't as good as some other vendors' email channels that I've seen. But there is an upgrade coming..."
"I rate Five9 support five out of 10. My experience with Five9 support has been mixed. It's good at times but not particularly helpful sometimes."
"What would make Five9 better is a partnership with an SMS AI solution, which would make Five9 pretty powerful."
"It would be ideal if they could combine the tools into one suite."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
