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.
TANMAY AKHADE - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, enables to respond to customer queries 70% to 80% quickly, and reduces dependency on agents
The product has automatic call-routing features. We must share how the calls must be routed to each team, and it automatically takes care of it. The solution is quite user-friendly. We don't have to do a lot of coding. We can do certain configurations on top of the coding, and it is automatically taken care of in the backend. It is a good feature. We can do a lot of automation. The tool is moving towards generative AI. The customer talks to the tool, and the tool understands what they need and provides it to them. Earlier, the customers would send an email and wait for a response from a representative. Our TAT was two to three years. Currently, our TAT is 20 minutes. If customers contact us with any concerns, we respond to them quickly. The response time has improved by 70% to 80%. Though it is new to the market, the generative AI has reduced our dependency on the agents. Earlier, the agents had to answer all of the customers’ issues. Now, TalkDesk fetches the answer from the backend and provides it to the customer. AI is good. It saves us a lot of time. It’s a discovery phase, so it is not quite handy. However, at times, less interaction is required if all the details are available on the website.
