Pros & Cons summary

NICE CXone offers terrific customer support and enhances organizational effectiveness with real-time visibility and informed adjustments despite its audio quality issues. It facilitates multitasking for better productivity, although lacks a link checker. MindTouch, while modular, increases costs with extra licenses and poses challenges in document extraction and lacks GitHub integrations. Additionally, InContact improves efficiency with instant agent visibility. Both platforms provide straightforward call categorization with regular updates, albeit NICE CXone excels in technical support.

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.

Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
