Room For Improvement

Cx Product Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
Operations Manager at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio.
Technology Specialist at Cognizant
It was not developed in a consumption-based manner, however, rather in a fixed-price licensing model that did not account for volumes.
Intelligent Automation Solution Architect at Digiblu
 

Setup Cost

NICE CXone pricing includes contract-based licensing with complex data extraction, necessitating evaluation of costs and features for enterprises.
<p>SS&amp;C Blue Prism is cost-effective for large enterprises but expensive for smaller firms, especially compared to UiPath.</p>
The pricing model was not modern, as it wasn't designed on a consumption basis or as a service basis.
Intelligent Automation Solution Architect at Digiblu
The licensing cost can be a bit expensive compared to its competitors.
Technical Lead at Astek
Overall, my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that for large organizations and medium organizations, it is very cost-effective.
Account Manager at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Cx Product Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

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.

Automation has saved thousands of hours by processing bulk data and managing emails efficiently
The best features SS&C Blue Prism offers include powerful automation, easy-to-use process flow, and excellent integration capabilities. Data manipulation and handling is very easy and user-friendly. It is very secure, especially in handling sensitive data such as credentials. One of my favorite features of SS&C Blue Prism that stands out is its seamless integration with various systems. This includes features such as load balancing, encryption, audit, and spying modes. The capability proves to be a significant advantage when automating tasks across different applications and platforms, which saves a lot of time. The email handling feature is spot-on, and we are able to automate these tasks easily, saving a lot of time. SS&C Blue Prism has positively impacted my organization as it can easily handle a large amount of data, being very scalable. It also saves time through automation of email. It saved a considerable amount of time, more than 5,000 hours of manual work so far. It saved a considerable amount of money as well. The costing metrics will improve largely. It also requires very little coding. Instead of hiring new people trained in a specific tool, we were able to manage this with the existing workforce with a few weekend classes.
