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.

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

"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."
"After implementing Genesys Cloud CX, we achieved a 97% call response rate compared to 80% with our previous self-service software, and customer surveys showed their call center experience improved from three stars to 4.2."
"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."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"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."
"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

"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"I believe the implementation needs improvement, the implementation of integration."
"The cost needs to be improved, and it should be easier to integrate."
"For the HIPAA instance where we use Genesys as a carrier, we face multiple issues. In that instance, calls are not consistent."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"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."
"The initial setup of EC2 instances and configuring the system felt complex for smaller teams without dedicated IT personnel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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