Sentiment score
6.4
NICE CXone customer service is polite and effective, though complex issues may have delayed resolutions due to request nature.
Genesys support is very good.
We have our own technical account manager which provides us with substantial visibility.
When I faced an issue with reaching a Poland DID that was ported to NICE CXone, their support team resolved the problem immediately.
If the issue is network-related or involves configuration, or maybe implementing a new tool, it might take north of 24 hours to identify the right resource to assist you.
 

Scalability Issues

7.8
Genesys Cloud CX excels in scalability and user-friendliness, making it ideal for large call centers with numerous agents.
Sentiment score

The solution is considered scalable and receives a rating of seven on a scale of one to ten.
The scalability of Genesys is excellent.
I have migrated approximately 500 people to the system, and it can certainly support more users beyond this number.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Genesys Cloud CX offers strong stability with AWS support, high uptime, and reliable performance backed by redundant networks and support.
Sentiment score
6.1
NICE CXone is generally stable, with brief outages well-managed, earning high praise for technical support and communication.
Genesys is brilliant concerning stability.
In general, the stability is good.
While the system often operates without issues, there have been instances of reports involving VM resource congestion, WFM issues, and RT problems.
 

Room For Improvement

Genesys Cloud CX needs better automation, integration, pricing, and support, plus improved configurability, reporting, and workforce management.
NICE CXone needs an improved user interface, better audio, streamlined reporting, enhanced AWS control, and competitive pricing.
There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure.
Their WFM product is still pretty immature.
Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio.
 

Setup Cost

Genesys Cloud CX is costly yet competitive, offering flexible, customizable licenses and pay-as-you-go pricing for potential savings.
NICE CXone requires careful evaluation of tiered licensing costs and features, especially considering data transition challenges.
Overall it's affordable, as indicated by a pricing rating of four out of ten.
Genesys' licensing model is flexible, though not the cheapest.
 

Valuable Features

Genesys Cloud CX provides a reliable, scalable solution with extensive integrations, robust tools, and cost-efficient services with 99.99% availability.
NICE CXone enhances business efficiency with customizable features, seamless integration, and real-time management tools, offering flexibility and control.
The real-time analytics feature has impacted decision-making by providing visibility to service SLAs and understanding customer journeys.
The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature.
The switch from using Avaya, which required connecting to a hard or soft phone, to using WebRTC via a web browser has significantly improved customer service efficiency.
Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents.

Enhanced customer interaction with integrated CTI improves service operations
We primarily use Genesys Cloud CX for handling customer service operations, where agents receive calls directly through the platform, manage cases, and ensure consistent communication with customers It has improved customer interaction by integrating CTI directly into our IT systems. The…
Antoneil Phillips - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time adjustments enhance call management, though pricing needs improvement
The reporting isn't bad, but there are opportunities for improvement; we get real-time dashboards for monitoring, though for performance management, we have to procure certain reports manually by pulling down raw data from the system, which could be better. Regarding the pricing, this would be an area of opportunity as well; this feedback is based on where we're positioned in the Caribbean. Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
