Cx Product Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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 improved performance through real-time reporting and streamlined campaign workflows
Some parts of the dashboard could be easier to navigate for new users, and integration with CRM and analytics tools without needing external connections would be beneficial. The setup could also be simpler, especially for smaller teams. Simpler initial integration would ease deployment for teams without IT expertise. Improvements in documentation are crucial to help new users start faster. Enhanced support with quicker response times and a built-in community for questions would be beneficial. More monitoring dashboards, alerts, and visualization forms such as tutorial videos would also improve user experience. Improving the onboarding process and dashboard visualization, along with interactive tutorials based on AWS performance or campaign metrics, would also benefit new users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"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."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"Genesys Cloud CX platform's unified interface has improved agent efficiency a lot; compared to other platforms, it contributes about 40 percent to agent efficiency since agents do not have to toggle between multiple screens, allowing them to focus on the solution and respond to customers effectively."
"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"The efficiency and quick setup benefited my project as it saved time because there were no complex tools needed to be installed and just a simple UI to go in and log in as a master user and then we can provide access to our agents."
"I have seen substantial return on investment from automating calls and data processing on EC2, saving approximately 10 to 15 hours per campaign and significantly increasing efficiency."
 

Cons

"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."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"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."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"The initial setup of EC2 instances and configuring the system felt complex for smaller teams without dedicated IT personnel."
"The user interface and navigation could be simplified for new users, as some find it complex compared to competing platforms."
"I have not seen a return on investment and I'm not privy to that data, but it's primarily about expanding reach."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit 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 cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
