Program Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys
One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"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."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
"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."
"Converting our PDFs to MindTouch is like adding a huge new feature to our software product line and it has, so far, had a great approval rate amongst our clients."
"NICE CXone allows agents to request time off and trade schedules with other people, access training and coaching, and play games to help improve their performance, functioning as a good one-stop shop where they can input their preferred hours and manage their schedules, rather than having to go to multiple places for professional development."
"MindTouch seemed to deliver the complete package, and we've not looked back."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"The best features NICE CXone offers include integrations, flexibility, and a modern AI base that is built into the platform."
 

Cons

"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"The mobile app could be better."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"However, as far as the authoring experience goes, it is really bad, and it would be very cost-prohibitive to have the number of licenses needed to smooth out and make the authoring processes more efficient."
"However, Stage labels do nothing. They simply label the page with the Stage name."
"One of the things I dislike about NICE CXone is that during the evaluation process, it was promised that true omnichannel routing would be part of the product, but it turns out that was not necessarily the case."
"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."
"A better approach would be to have built-in routing capabilities for scenarios such as routing by area code to different agents, rather than having to build this functionality with snippets."
"My advice to others looking into using NICE CXone is that it is an expensive product with a lot of guardrails on it."
