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.

Enables us to have full visualization on all metrics and to manage and staff our center as necessary
I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard. It is so easy to manage your own call routing without needing to be a developer, and great service resources on hand when you can't figure it out on your own. inView has been such a great tool and is used all day every day to track live data of everything happening in our call center. We have boards for the agents to view, supervisors, managers and even the executive team. Each group loves having the ability to check at a glance to see what they need to see to gauge where the day is at.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"The stability is really good."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"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."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"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 is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"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 cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
