Has enabled seamless integration and simplified setup for client services with minimal technical requirements
The system is easy to manage. End users do not need to provide much technical support. They just rent the necessary number of users, and that's it. End users don't need a dedicated IT person to manage the system as it is a serverless service. Five9 provides powerful CRM integration capabilities with platforms like Salesforce, Zendesk, and Oracle Service Cloud, making it highly valuable for large companies. Additionally, omnichannel capabilities, such as web chat and social media integration, offer a customized experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The complex call routing capabilities were valuable, as 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, while also setting up complex rollover and integrations between our CRM to leverage that data for complex call routing, and it all worked well."
"Before using the WFO and its analytics, our quality teams would listen to only 5 percent of contacts a week, per employee, which is a very small part of what an employee is doing... Now, this tool does an automatic evaluation of 100 percent of their calls. It has certainly helped the QA teams in their training, and that, in turn, helps our clients."
"The admin tools are most valuable, such as using the UI to configure all the campaigns and all the settings that we use. Also, the monitoring panels it has are very good. Our supervisors and sales managers build dashboards in the solution so that we can understand how our operation is performing throughout the day. That is very useful."
"Overall, Five9 has made my job easier compared to before, and I do not struggle with it."
"I'm interested in all the features we're using and the reporting that's needed to get them up and running."
"It helped reduce costs in our organization. We've saved on staffing and we've saved on software by 10% to 15%."
"I like the ease with which we can make changes if necessary. Currently, we are using it for phone and email distribution, but we're talking about adding chat and delving into the omnichannel features more."
"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."
"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."
 

Cons

"Integration with third-party solutions can be difficult and has room for improvement."
"What would make Five9 better is a partnership with an SMS AI solution, which would make Five9 pretty powerful."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"There are several audio issues that need attention. Whenever I disconnect a headset after connecting to the VDI, the station connection in Five9 disconnects automatically, requiring a VMware restart."
"The reporting suite needed improvement."
"I would like to see more of the functions from the original Five9 adapter included in the Salesforce Plus adapter, as they do not automatically update when Five9 releases new features."
"The knowledge base of their support is not as strong as the IVR build."
"Maybe they could do better on how we access all the data if we want the data to work outside of Five9. Sometimes, that's not the easiest process. It's not bad, but if there's an area for improvement, that could be one."
"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their license structure, out of the box, is better than that of other providers and their pricing is much less than other vendors we've looked at."
"The cost is not at the lower end of the market, but it's worth it."
"The product is not the most expensive, but it's not cheap."
"I prefer Five9's licensing model."
"Five9's pricing wasn't quite as flexible as I'd hoped, but it ended up being reasonably priced overall."
"Five9 is reasonable."
"The pricing seems reasonable. I had anticipated that whatever solution we went with would be more expensive. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the features that we had in Evolve IP, one-to-one, did not cost significantly more in Five9."
"Five9 is a little expensive because of our company's size. That said, it scales pretty well. The daily usage costs and monthly fees seem about right. It's not out of line with what we'd expect from other companies. However, they seem to have a one-size-fits-all implementation fee. Most of their clients have hundreds if not thousands of seats in the call centers, so $5,000 or $10,000 is not a huge cost. It would be nice if they had a sliding scale for smaller companies."
