Omnichannel contact center has unified customer interactions and delivers smarter routing
Regarding scripters, I should clarify that Genesys Cloud CX dashboards provide real-time data, showing call counts, satisfaction levels, and pending interactions in the queue. Agents can see their workload and know when to take breaks, with managers benefiting from comprehensive team management. We also created dashboards tailored for point-of-sale locations managed by Genesys Cloud CX, and overall, we have been very satisfied. However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler. My overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX has been positive but should be seen in perspective, as nothing is purely black or white; there are shades of gray. While the metrics and system capabilities reflected success, our goal in implementing Genesys Cloud CX was to standardize processes. Thus, we faced challenges related to change management due to the tool's complexity. It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"The ROI is really good with some of our clients, as their profit margins have increased using the solution because of the additional contact they have with their clients."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."
"Genesys Cloud CX is a capable application that allows me to use any app or multiple apps, so I can work with any other applications efficiently."
"The features and capabilities of Genesys Cloud CX that I have found most valuable so far include its omni-channel support."
"Genesys Cloud CX platform's unified interface has improved agent efficiency a lot; compared to other platforms, it contributes about 40 percent to agent efficiency since agents do not have to toggle between multiple screens, allowing them to focus on the solution and respond to customers effectively."
"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"In terms of cost-effectiveness, I find Genesys Cloud CX provides overall ROI benefits; however, after the first year, customers usually expect lower pricing at the time of renewal."
"There is always a chance for improvement with all CRM tools, and as of now, I suggest we need advanced customization in the architecture without the code flow."
"I believe the implementation needs improvement, the implementation of integration."
"However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"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

"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"Genesys Cloud has pay-as-you-go pricing, so it's much cheaper than the on-premises solution. Apart from the standard fees, my company pays for Genesys support."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
