Real-time monitoring and reporting help with better operations
The Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA) feature helps to monitor the agents. We can see if an agent is getting stuck. For example, if an agent has not been logged out properly, we can log out that particular agent from a particular session because it hampers productivity. It helps us to be more productive. Our call center agents use the Agent Assist feature. Our call center leaders are also using it to monitor agents' quality metrics. We are also using Qlik Sense along with Five9. Five9 is for monitoring, and Qlik Sense is for service-level reports. Five9 provides us with real-time information, whereas solutions like Verint take a lot more time. Qlik Sense can have intermittent logging issues where it might not work properly, whereas Five9 works properly. Among these three, Five9 is the best. Five9 also gives more bifurcation options. Five9 is good and intuitive. It helps to know how things are. I love it and use it every day. There are always new reports to generate. There are a lot of opportunities within Five9. Additionally, the real-time agent monitoring and ability to skill agents based on calls in the queue are invaluable and much easier than previous solutions like the AWS application. Previously, using the AWS application involved cumbersome steps to manage users and agents, making Five9 a welcome change. Overall, Five9 has made my job easier compared to before, and I do not struggle with it. Five9 has helped improve our call center’s speed to answer. Our leaders are using Five9 to monitor everything. It is not a time-consuming application.

Front-to-back FX compression has streamlined bulk operations and has delivered major risk savings
I find this interview should ideally be very short and crisp, needing to be around five to ten minutes, but it is taking a long time. Therefore, I suggest having five to six questions instead. I would rate Razor Platform an eight on a scale of one to ten. I chose an eight because it is not fully automated; it requires human interaction to provide the feed before it can act. If it were fully automated and able to pick up transactions and follow with aggregation, then I believe it would deserve a higher rating, but for now, an eight is appropriate. I would definitely advise others looking into using Razor Platform to give it a try and see how it works, as it is definitely a good investment. My overall review rating for Razor Platform is eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"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."
"The admin platform is easy to use and navigate. That has been incredibly useful for us because it has given us the ability to self-provision in a lot of situations. The ability to create and track data elements has also been a valuable addition."
"Queue callback, agent skill-based routing, call reporting, and the flexibility to log in from anywhere are some of the most valuable features for our organization."
"When it comes to drop calls, we don't have a problem. They are performing to our satisfaction."
"Overall, Five9 has made my job easier compared to before, and I do not struggle with it."
"I like the capability of call and screen recording. It has helped us to hold our agents accountable to the expectations for the role. It creates a clearer picture than giving feedback that is just based on calls that we may have listened to, but we do not have anything to show the agents themselves."
"The product’s IVR script editor is very easy and simple to use."
"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."
"Razor Platform has positively impacted my organization, allowing us to save around 4.3 million dollars in total gross due to lower risk-weighted asset charges, which reflects well on my product and project initiatives meeting objectives, resulting in a very positive outcome."
 

Cons

"Five9's stability needs to be improved."
"The reporting suite needed improvement."
"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..."
"The SMS feature could use some improvement as far as the opt-out process goes."
"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."
"It would be ideal if they could combine the tools into one suite."
"Five9 Omnichannel’s UI could be improved."
"Five9 has an active-passive high-availability model. I would prefer active-active."
"I chose an eight because it is not fully automated; it requires human interaction to provide the feed before it can act."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is flexible and reasonable."
"Five9 is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"Five9's pricing wasn't quite as flexible as I'd hoped, but it ended up being reasonably priced overall."
"I prefer Five9's licensing model."
"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."
