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 helped us integrate a lot through documentation and trial and error, making it straightforward to integrate overall, resulting in a very good experience for first-timers."
"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 best feature of Kore.ai is that it is a cost-saving tool because when we use IVR, we have to assign agents at the backend, but using Kore.ai, we can automate all of those functions."
"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 because we are implementors, and I would say that approximately 80% of our income comes from developed projects with Kore.ai."
"Kore.ai is outstanding compared to other AI agent platforms such as Copilot Studio due to the centralized nature and integration of different apps within a single platform."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization, as it saved a lot of time in implementation and the proof of concept was very fast to implement and easy to develop."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
"We have seen improvements in agent productivity, customer satisfaction, and reduced wait times, specifically an improvement in our CSAT scores and NPS scores, a reduction in cost per call, a decrease in average handle time, and utilization across the board has improved."
"After introducing NICE CXone to our workflows, we are seeing faster resolution of all open cases and shorter resolution time and shorter waiting time, which we had problems with previously."
"A combination of these two elements yields positive impact, and we see metrics indicating self-servicing where calls are not getting escalated to agents, and feedback has improved significantly."
"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."
"The system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
 

Cons

"I would suggest incorporating pre-recorded videos in the tutorials and enhancing the documentation area to make it more user-friendly."
"Customer support is where Kore.ai has significant room for improvement. Post-implementation support is a particularly discouraging aspect for me."
"The two points I deduct relate to the integrations, which were not as extensive as I initially expected."
"We sometimes faced challenges with the integration process due to a lack of in-depth knowledge in the documentation."
"Kore.ai can be improved by enhancing their documentation, which is currently a bit disorganized."
"One thing I have learned is the unpredictability of LLMs and how buggy Kore.ai is as a software."
"This is a regret for me."
"I choose 7.5 out of 10 for Kore.ai because a few things already need to be improved, one of which I have mentioned."
"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."
"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."
"I was using a very old version (2010), and the user interface was bad making it difficult to perform simple tasks."
"NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives."
"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."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"Some of the platform enhancements could be improved, as it takes a very long time to get features added into the platform."
"I ran into many issues with data integrity, forecast accuracy, cross-skilling and cross-utilization of agents, and net staffing reports."
