A software that enables centers to operate more efficiently, increase the quality of every customer interaction, create new pathways to profit, and ensure ongoing customer-centric business improvemen

One of the best aspects of CXone is its omnichannel experience. It treats all contacts, whether phone, chat, email, or SMS, through the same system, allowing for consistent reporting and a true omnichannel experience. The platform is very flexible. You can customize it to do almost anything as long as it's based on logic, which has been incredibly valuable. In terms of analytics, CXone offers consistent, accessible data across all channels. In the past, different systems like Avaya for phones or separate platforms for chat and email made it hard to compare performance across channels. With CXone, you get the same data points across all interactions, making decision-making much easier. It also allows for deeper reporting, like IVR reporting, where you can see what options people choose and create custom KPIs for better insight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."

"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."

"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."

"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."

"The stability is really good."

More Genesys Cloud CX pros

"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."

"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."

"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."

"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."

"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."

"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."

"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."

"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."

"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."

More NICE CXone pros

Cons

"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."

"The cost needs to be improved, and it should be easier to integrate."

"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."

"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."

"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."

"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."

"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."

More Genesys Cloud CX cons

"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."

"It could improve the quality of calls."

"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."

"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."

"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."

"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."

"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."

"The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio."

"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."

"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."

Information not available

"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
