Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard.""We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG.""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.""Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training.""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.""Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""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."

"It is a stable product.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features. It includes robust case routing, escalation capabilities, entitlement mapping, and entanglement rules. Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number.""The complexity of the solution is very less.""It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up.""The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use.""We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""The interface is quite user-friendly."

Cons
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific.""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.""If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow.""MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing.""It could improve the quality of calls.""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.""One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker.""It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."

More NICE CXone Cons →

"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited.""One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""Knowledge Management platform could use some intelligence improvements. Data mining techniques for recommending the most relevant knowledge articles would be beneficial. Currently, that selection process is more administrative. AI could be used here.""There is room for improvement in pricing."
