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.

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

"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."
"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 helps in operational efficiency and faster time-to-market, which is development velocity."
"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."
"The positive impacts we have seen include expected reductions in average handle time, which is typically around 40 to 50 percent for any BFSI industry use case."
"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 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 helping us build intelligent chatbots and incorporating voice agents, enabling various clients to adopt these solutions, which have been revolutionary for their businesses."
"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."
"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."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"I assess the impact of the omnichannel capabilities on customer journey consistency as excellent, as it is a single pane of glass solution where all channels and omnichannel features are available, which is very supportive and increases customer productivity overall."
"MindTouch seemed to deliver the complete package, and we've not looked back."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
"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 system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"One thing I have learned is the unpredictability of LLMs and how buggy Kore.ai is as a software."
"Kore.ai can be improved by enhancing their documentation, which is currently a bit disorganized."
"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."
"Customer support is where Kore.ai has significant room for improvement. Post-implementation support is a particularly discouraging aspect for me."
"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."
"I think that there could be improvements in the actual structuring and formatting of content, i.e., when creating topics and guides in MindTouch."
"However, Stage labels do nothing. They simply label the page with the Stage name."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"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."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
