Featured Reviews

James Arvidson - PeerSpot reviewer
A software that enables centers to operate more efficiently, increase the quality of every customer interaction, create new pathways to profit, and ensure ongoing customer-centric business improvemen
One of the best aspects of CXone is its omnichannel experience. It treats all contacts, whether phone, chat, email, or SMS, through the same system, allowing for consistent reporting and a true omnichannel experience. The platform is very flexible. You can customize it to do almost anything as long as it's based on logic, which has been incredibly valuable. In terms of analytics, CXone offers consistent, accessible data across all channels. In the past, different systems like Avaya for phones or separate platforms for chat and email made it hard to compare performance across channels. With CXone, you get the same data points across all interactions, making decision-making much easier. It also allows for deeper reporting, like IVR reporting, where you can see what options people choose and create custom KPIs for better insight.
Iván Fanego - PeerSpot reviewer
Creates customizable systems and improve team collaboration
Notion is a very flexible and customizable platform, allowing users to create whatever they need. The most impactful feature for project management is the ability to invite multiple client stakeholders without complication. Once I understand the basics, it's easy to use despite an initial learning curve. It also significantly improves team collaboration through customized views and visualizations of data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"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."
"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."
"Notion is an all-in-one product, allowing us to do many things in a single place."
"I rate Notion a ten out of ten."
"I like the high level of customization in Notion."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility...The initial setup of Notion is easy."
"Notion has a lot of integrations."
"The ability to create and organize notes, plans, and technical content in a single platform is the product's most valuable feature."
"It is easy to use, and I love its UI."
"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"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."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"The only problem I experience is that it often hangs."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts."
"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"
"Notion's UI could be better."
"It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems."
"The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The product could be integrated with external platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
"Notion offers a free plan that covers most functionalities. Clients are only prompted to upgrade if they require AI capabilities, priced at $10 for unlimited usage, or if they need to add team members, typically around $10 per member."
"The product has good pricing."
"Notion is free to use."
"The product has good pricing."
"I pay around $100 per year."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. We only need to pay for it if we use it in the workspace."
"It's pretty affordable."
"The product is affordable compared to other platforms."
