Unified omnichannel platform has boosted agent efficiency and improved AI‑driven customer journeys
In terms of improvements for Genesys Cloud CX, I see technical limitations such as the lack of a clear mechanism to access multiple organizations effectively. If I have over 100 organizations in Genesys Cloud CX, my support team struggles with access management, and there's no single pane of glass to manage the entire set of tenants. Currently, if we have multiple organizations, we must log into each one to troubleshoot, which presents a challenge. Additionally, while people are more flexible compared to other platforms, those are the main improvements I would like to see. Overall, we have excellent collaboration and get the most out of both this platform for our solutioning needs.

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.

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 integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"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."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"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."
"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 cost needs to be improved, and it should be easier to integrate."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
