Omnichannel features have unified journeys and AI now speeds up responses for our agents
NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives. When it comes to solutioning, there are too many SKUs, which are line items or components that could have been bundled together. For example, CXone agent licenses do not include QM in the basic packages, whereas in the Genesis world it is bundled. The price comparison is higher compared to Genesis or other platforms. I have been using Genesis for three to four years across multiple customers, and now that NICE CXone has become available, I have started comparing all the features and benefits. I find there are some gaps, with more features available but at a higher cost for NICE. Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment of NICE CXone, the main challenge is working with the NICE team. The speed of onboarding is lengthy and people-dependent initially. When comparing with other OEMs and CCaaS products, the UI interface and partner portal have multiple access points. I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location. There is room for improvement in this area, though gradually NICE can change this approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"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."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"The system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"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."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
