Offers built-in AI functionality, broad third-party integrations, out-of-the-box AI features and designed specifically for contact centers
The best thing about Genesys Cloud CX is that it's designed specifically for contact centers and offers robust reporting capabilities. It also has a great marketplace for integrations with different third-party applications like Salesforce, Zendesk, and HubSpot. I appreciate how easy it is to integrate with Genesys and utilize its out-of-the-box AI features. Deployment and customization are also easy and straightforward. Furthermore, I like the intelligent routing in Genesys Cloud CX, along with the flexibility between skill-based and queue-based routing. These are valuable, contact-center-focused features. Finally, if the customer is already using AWS and has applications there, Genesys Cloud CX integrates easily with the AWS ecosystem.

Has efficient automation features and the ability to integrate with multiple systems
The initial setup is quite difficult for the latest versions from 2020 and beyond and can take about four to five hours. It can now be deployed on the cloud. Oracle offers the same images for on-premise and cloud deployments, making it easy to switch between the two. I created the docker image using VM and completed the setup in a few hours.
