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.

A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation
There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 have been using Five9 for nearly 10 years now with multiple clients, and I don't think there is any other product out there which is even comparable to the usability and functionality that Five9 has."
"The tool enables easier management."
"The reporting is good, and we're testing AI summaries now. Also, the workflow automation feature, so far, has been good."
"I'm interested in all the features we're using and the reporting that's needed to get them up and running."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of making scripts within the contact center solution itself."
"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."
"Very flexible and customizable; we appreciate being able to host it locally with direct access to the backend."
"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
 

Cons

"The reporting could be a bit better."
"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..."
"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."
"The technical support is inconsistent and has room for improvement."
"There are some minor issues with some of their filtering that I'd like them to handle on their back end. The only limitation I can think of is that I'm always looking backward and can't look forward. I can't see how many calls are scheduled for tomorrow based on our system."
"I would like to have a Five9 supervisor app that can be used on a smart phone, so I can have more accessibility while in transit."
"The reporting suite needed improvement."
"Sometimes, there are some call quality issue complaints from our users."
"If you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
"The charts and graphs available out of the box are pretty outdated, and you're a little limited in how you can present information on the dashboard without adding modules."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is flexible and 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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
