Offers excellent scalability and is user-friendly
In my experience, the deployment of Genesys Cloud was relatively easy compared to on-premise solutions. However, it depends on the project's complexity and budget. Typically, a team of specialists is involved, including IVR, reporting, support, and business development experts. The team size varies based on project requirements and can range from one person to multiple specialists. Genesys is fully deployed in the cloud. With the cloud product, everything is integrated into one single application, making deployment and integration much simpler. Unlike the on-premise product, which requires separate applications for different functions like IVR, reporting, routing, and databases, the cloud version consolidates everything into one platform. Genesys Cloud requires ongoing maintenance, especially if there are change requests from the client side. For example, if the client wants to expand their business to include social media or multimedia channels, or if they request additional features like outbound calling or web messaging, maintenance personnel are needed to implement these changes.

Comprehensive functionality, Integrates well, but lacking artificial intelligence
The best advice I can give is whoever wants to implement the solution must understand its functionality and what scope they want from the solution. If they want a standard line of functionality then Microsoft Dynamics CRM will do it. If they want a particular marketing capability and various other features that go with it, such as algorithms and AI, et cetera, then they might want to look at another solution. I rate Microsoft Dynamics CRM a seven out of ten. My rating reflects the missing functionality, compared to some of the more heavyweight solutions. For example, saleforce.com and Optimove have a lot more functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's easier to use because everything is already built. Another valuable feature of Genesys Cloud is drag-and-drop."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's a complete cloud solution, so it's reliable and 99.99% available. It's also elastic. Genesys Cloud also has chatbots, which I find valuable."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"The most valuable features include being an omnichannel solution with customer journey insights, full reporting, and continuous updates based on consumer feedback through their portal."
"The stability is really good."
"When you have a vanilla, straightforward version, it is easy to use."
"I like the fact that I can keep track of everything I do in relation to my own job."
"The solution is versatile and customizable."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a very nice UI, and is very easy to use. It's easy to install, has a lot of features, and provides good technical support."
"I like that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay. I like that it is a stable solution. My main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"The history of engagement with our customers, including all conversations, has been most valuable when using this solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling."
 

Cons

"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience."
"My company's biggest challenge with Microsoft Dynamics CRM is wanting to market solely to leads without having to create a contact and link the contact to the lead. From a marketing standpoint, there's room for improvement in the lead process of Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is operational enough, in terms of frequency, but an area for improvement would be its dashboard. Currently, it's widget-like, so hopefully, it could be improved, particularly to allow you to create a custom dashboard using a query. A custom dashboard would make the solution better and is an additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM because right now, it only has a default dashboard, but maybe my account has limited access, so I can only see the default version of the dashboard."
"When it comes to any necessary changes or updates, we have issues. It is not very agnostic in terms of working with other platforms. A lot of data transformation had to be done internally in order to send it to various systems."
"The approvals component of Dynamics is complex. It isn't very easy to generate approvals between different departments."
"The product is very old."
"The solution could improve by having better integration documentation."
"The UI could definitely be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"Genesys Cloud has pay-as-you-go pricing, so it's much cheaper than the on-premises solution. Apart from the standard fees, my company pays for Genesys support."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is slightly cheaper than Salesforce today. Pricing for the solution is pretty aggressive in the market."
"The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an expensive solution."
"The customers that have Microsoft Office 365, the license price is competitive. It is competitive because the next solution above it is Salesforce, which is licensed quite high. The price annually was approximately $55 per user but we did a combination of users with some of them having the higher range of approximately $85."
"We have a three-year ELA with all our Microsoft solutions and often we had to do a true-up which was approximately $1,000,000. Additionally, we pay approximately $2,500 a month for support."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a little expensive solution."
"We have deployed the cloud-based version and it is a subscription and the price is based on the number of users using it."
