Automation has reduced large call centers and provides real-time outbound support for patients
Kore.ai is a low-code platform, and you do not necessarily have to be an expert in artificial intelligence or generative AI to use this platform. However, if you have that experience, it will be a valuable add-on. The main advantage is that it has almost every kind of plugin available to use, whether for live agents or if you want to use it as a call center. You have real-time capabilities and the most useful plugins available, with almost every kind of model available with configurations. We can configure the ML models and train them. The platform is very user-friendly with explanatory features and a great UI. One significant feature is the live testing platform with Kore.ai. When you are creating a workflow, you have an interactive, real-time testing platform that reflects every change you make. This makes it easy to debug errors or add new features. Additionally, Kore.ai has many different tools and platforms that cater to different needs, whether for a call center, normal workflow, or machine learning workflow, which is really useful. Because of Kore.ai, it was much easier than creating something manually. A low-code platform always helps, and when that platform has this much capability, it provides far more value than manual development. It was particularly helpful for our team that we could create a POC and get that project into production. Kore.ai helped our team build a generative AI outbound calling chatbot, and it truly helped our customers. If you have a hospital with a thousand employees in a call center, you might consider outsourcing. However, with Kore.ai's outbound calling capabilities, you can eliminate the outsourcing part. You do not need a thousand call center employees. You can accomplish this through automation with just one or two employees if people need to switch to agents. This represented a significant cost reduction.

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

"Kore.ai has positively impacted our organization by reducing error rates from around fifteen to twenty percent to just two to three percent after implementation."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization because we are implementors, and I would say that approximately 80% of our income comes from developed projects with Kore.ai."
"Kore.ai offers many valuable features, particularly its extensive array of connectors, allowing easy integration with various ERP systems and the straightforward implementation of webhooks and APIs."
"Kore.ai offers multiple support and services, including API integration, webhook integration, and multiple channels, making it easy to design your own layout, integrate with multiple channels and webhooks, deploy quickly, and track any errors that occur, so it is a good way to start and easy to learn."
"Because of Kore.ai, it was much easier than creating something manually, and when that platform has this much capability, it provides far more value than manual development."
"Kore.ai helps in operational efficiency and faster time-to-market, which is development velocity."
"It impacted my organization by helping us move into being AI-native, and it helped a lot to show other clients that we have worked in AI."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization by being a big money saver because before having our chatbot, the use case was that every time some of our customers needed help, they used to call a number."
"The agent list is the most valuable feature because we are able to see what each person is doing."
"The copilot feature in NICE CXone has reduced a great deal of after-call work substantially through summarization."
"The best features NICE CXone offers include integrations, flexibility, and a modern AI base that is built into the platform."
"NICE CXone has impacted my organization positively by empowering managers, team leaders, and supervisors to be more autonomous and to proactively manage their team in real time."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"The initial setup of NICE CXone was straightforward and easy for our team, as the implementation team we worked with was very good at what they did."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
 

Cons

"Customer support is where Kore.ai has significant room for improvement. Post-implementation support is a particularly discouraging aspect for me."
"In support, the team is not the greatest, but it works."
"I rated Kore.ai an 8 out of 10 because additional features could be added to it."
"Customer support is okay, I guess. We get what we want from them whenever there is an issue or something, but sometimes when we had issues, it was delayed a lot."
"I rated Kore.ai eight out of ten because of the potential for these additional improvements."
"Kore.ai can be improved by enhancing their documentation, which is currently a bit disorganized."
"The two points I deduct relate to the integrations, which were not as extensive as I initially expected."
"I would suggest incorporating pre-recorded videos in the tutorials and enhancing the documentation area to make it more user-friendly."
"One area where CXone could improve is in creating a more streamlined, user-friendly interface."
"I ran into many issues with data integrity, forecast accuracy, cross-skilling and cross-utilization of agents, and net staffing reports."
"I was using a very old version (2010), and the user interface was bad making it difficult to perform simple tasks."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"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."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"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."
