Cons

"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
