Room For Improvement

Genesys Cloud CX requires improved process automation, integration, pricing, customization, access management, autonomy, and AI-driven personalization capabilities.
Key improvements for VICIbox/VICIdial on AWS EC2 include UI simplification, better CRM integration, enhanced documentation, and quicker support.

Improving reporting capabilities is also necessary, as the platform needs expanded reporting features, including PDF export versions for more detailed call metrics such as average handle time and enhanced visualization tools.

Founder at SJT Consult
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.
