Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.0
JIRA Service Management boosts efficiency and productivity, centralizes requests, and delivers significant ROI, benefiting virtual teams and compliance.
Sentiment score
4.9
Small teams saved over $200,000 in the first year with NICE CXone, benefiting from its cloud-based AWS infrastructure.
NICE CXone saves time and resources due to its cloud-based nature, where infrastructure management is handled by AWS, reducing the need for me to manage it.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.5
Atlassian support is generally helpful but faces challenges like time zone delays, and users suggest adding local partner assistance.
Sentiment score
6.4
NICE CXone customer service is polite and effective, though complex issues may have delayed resolutions due to request nature.
We have our own technical account manager which provides us with substantial visibility.
When I faced an issue with reaching a Poland DID that was ported to NICE CXone, their support team resolved the problem immediately.
If the issue is network-related or involves configuration, or maybe implementing a new tool, it might take north of 24 hours to identify the right resource to assist you.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
JIRA Service Management scales well for small to medium organizations, with high adaptability but some limitations in larger settings.
Sentiment score
6.2
NICE CXone is highly scalable and adaptable, efficiently managing extensive loads and supporting broad use cases without difficulty.
It supports introducing new features or levels efficiently across our global locations, helping everyone stay informed.
I have migrated approximately 500 people to the system, and it can certainly support more users beyond this number.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
JIRA Service Management is stable and reliable with infrequent issues, typically receiving stability ratings of eight to nine.
Sentiment score
6.1
NICE CXone is generally stable, with brief outages well-managed, earning high praise for technical support and communication.
There should be more governance for permissions and more options for customized access without frequently involving the admin.
In general, the stability is good.
While the system often operates without issues, there have been instances of reports involving VM resource congestion, WFM issues, and RT problems.
 

Room For Improvement

JIRA Service Management needs better email integration, customization, third-party support, and enhanced project management, UI, and mobile features.
NICE CXone needs an improved user interface, better audio, streamlined reporting, enhanced AWS control, and competitive pricing.
We need to consider which AI tool would be most suitable for our project.
It remains one of the main barriers to using JIRA Service Management across our entire company.
There is a need to limit the information in one window to avoid overwhelming users with unnecessary data.
Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio.
 

Setup Cost

JIRA Service Management's pricing is competitive but can be costly for larger enterprises with additional fees and potential annual increases.
NICE CXone requires careful evaluation of tiered licensing costs and features, especially considering data transition challenges.
 

Valuable Features

JIRA Service Management offers customization, integration, and user-friendly features that enhance efficiency and streamline project and service management.
NICE CXone enhances business efficiency with customizable features, seamless integration, and real-time management tools, offering flexibility and control.
For every task we are working on, the project manager can see the status once we update the stories mentioned.
JIRA itself is valuable for managing tickets, user stories, and pipeline.
The query language and the ability to create views of the data are very useful.
The switch from using Avaya, which required connecting to a hard or soft phone, to using WebRTC via a web browser has significantly improved customer service efficiency.
Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents.

Antoneil Phillips - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time adjustments enhance call management, though pricing needs improvement
The reporting isn't bad, but there are opportunities for improvement; we get real-time dashboards for monitoring, though for performance management, we have to procure certain reports manually by pulling down raw data from the system, which could be better. Regarding the pricing, this would be an area of opportunity as well; this feedback is based on where we're positioned in the Caribbean. Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
