James Arvidson - PeerSpot reviewer
A software that enables centers to operate more efficiently, increase the quality of every customer interaction, create new pathways to profit, and ensure ongoing customer-centric business improvemen
One of the best aspects of CXone is its omnichannel experience. It treats all contacts, whether phone, chat, email, or SMS, through the same system, allowing for consistent reporting and a true omnichannel experience. The platform is very flexible. You can customize it to do almost anything as long as it's based on logic, which has been incredibly valuable. In terms of analytics, CXone offers consistent, accessible data across all channels. In the past, different systems like Avaya for phones or separate platforms for chat and email made it hard to compare performance across channels. With CXone, you get the same data points across all interactions, making decision-making much easier. It also allows for deeper reporting, like IVR reporting, where you can see what options people choose and create custom KPIs for better insight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"The most valuable features include being an omnichannel solution with customer journey insights, full reporting, and continuous updates based on consumer feedback through their portal."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"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."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get 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."
Information not available
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
