Room For Improvement

Genesys Cloud CX requires enhancements in automation, integration, customization, pricing, reporting, AI capabilities, and user autonomy for large environments.
Verint Open Platform needs upgrades in autonomy, language support, UI, AI, pricing, and user experience to address various issues.
It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.
Founder at SJT Consult
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.
Cx Product Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Genesys Cloud CX is hosted on the AWS environment, and if there's an issue on AWS or any outage, there is no other alternative provided by Genesys.
Associate | Genesys Cloud Developer at Conizant Technological Solutions
Support leaves a bit to be desired, and I think it is an area for improvement that Verint has in the support part.
Customer Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There is a need for application improvement in terms of latency, as real-time takes time to refresh the screen.
Senior Technical Consultant at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
To improve Verint Open Platform, I would recommend adding a section that creates easier options for the rostering part, such as work patterns and work events including training, breaks, lunches, and meetings.

Omnichannel contact center has unified customer interactions and delivers smarter routing
Regarding scripters, I should clarify that Genesys Cloud CX dashboards provide real-time data, showing call counts, satisfaction levels, and pending interactions in the queue. Agents can see their workload and know when to take breaks, with managers benefiting from comprehensive team management. We also created dashboards tailored for point-of-sale locations managed by Genesys Cloud CX, and overall, we have been very satisfied. However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler. My overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX has been positive but should be seen in perspective, as nothing is purely black or white; there are shades of gray. While the metrics and system capabilities reflected success, our goal in implementing Genesys Cloud CX was to standardize processes. Thus, we faced challenges related to change management due to the tool's complexity. It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.

Comprehensive contact center insights have transformed quality, staffing, and compliance management
Although Verint Open Platform is a powerful solution, there are areas where improvement would make a significant difference. Implementation complexity can be an issue. Verint Open Platform has a steep learning curve and implementations can be lengthy and resource-intensive. Organizations without dedicated Verint Open Platform expertise often struggle during initial deployment. Simplifying the implementation process and improving out-of-the-box configuration would lower the barrier to entry for mid-sized organizations. Regarding user interface, while functionality is strong, Verint Open Platform UI in some modules can feel dated and less intuitive compared to newer cloud-native competitors. A more modern, streamlined interface would improve adoption rates among end-users and supervisors. Cloud migrations pose a challenge. Although Verint Open Platform has been moving toward cloud-based delivery, some legacy on-premise customers face issues transitioning to Verint Open Platform cloud version without significant re-implementation effort. A smoother migration path would be beneficial. There could be improvements for reporting customization. Although Verint Open Platform reporting suite is comprehensive, building highly customized reports can require technical expertise or a professional service engagement. More self-service reporting flexibility would empower administrators and business analysts. Verint Open Platform licensing and pricing transparency could be clearer. Verint Open Platform licensing model can be complex and costly, particularly for smaller contact centers. A clearer and more flexible pricing tier would make the platform more accessible to a broader range of organizations. I had customers with 200 seats or 500 seats, and many of them moved to either Amazon, Google CCA, CC AI environments, or even 59 environments because Verint Open Platform is very expensive and feels dedicated for super large enterprises with 1,000 or more seats.
