Find out in this report how the two Customer Experience Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's easier to use because everything is already built. Another valuable feature of Genesys Cloud is drag-and-drop."
"The stability is really good."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"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 latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's a complete cloud solution, so it's reliable and 99.99% available. It's also elastic. Genesys Cloud also has chatbots, which I find valuable."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications are their intuitiveness and ease of use. The navigations are also straightforward, which makes it easy to train users. The feedback I always receive is that it is very user-friendly."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten since it is an extremely scalable solution that can be used for various use cases with thousands of users."
"Having a young talented programmer, during the six years of use, we were able to save around 75 000 EUR preparing simple modifications using customization rather than ordering them in IFS / Partner."
"The solution overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"One of our favorite features is the "Info-Zone", which provides operational intelligence in flight and in context to guide both business users and support teams to productivity."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications in the latest version are the new user Arena interface. It's from Apps 9, but it brings more flexibility in usage, especially around different devices, such as mobile usage, which doesn't restrict you from using a computer. We are it for the HR side, and it's proving quite good. It has a new modern feel to it similar to a standard cloud application which enhances the user experience."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"I'm a business analyst, so I do a lot of customer-facing work. I take calls from businesses I have to troubleshoot. One thing that bugs me is the error messages you get from IFS. If I get an error message, I have to dig to find the cause because, often, the error message doesn't precisely describe the problem. It'll hint about where the problem lies, but you have to work to find the root cause. It doesn't help in my situation. You expect an error message to point to the field or what is causing the issue."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"The next version has already been released, and some of the technical things are a little bit behind the curve in development. This is specifically security, maintenance, security role maintenance, and creation. This is in their new product, called IFS Cloud."
"It would be ideal if, in the future, the product could incorporate IoT and blockchain elements. We'd like to explore more of these types of features going forward."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"I have seen that one of the areas that my company has identified for improvement might be the rental management capabilities within the solution."
"There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."
"Technical support could be improved."
