Reliable call recording has protected critical interactions and supports ongoing workflow insights
I am not aware if it has already been done, but a well-integrated application for Calabrio ONE that would not require us to change the licenses every time we need to change or add a user would be a better way to add new users and move existing users to other buckets. I feel it is not a 10 because the UI interface is not that impressive yet. It would be better if there were a handbook that lets us know what makes Calabrio ONE stand out among the two or three major players in this field, such as NICE and Verint. Customer support for Calabrio ONE was not that great, but it is acceptable. I would love to see Calabrio ONE's offices in Pune, India.

Omnichannel contact center has unified customer interactions and delivers smarter routing
Regarding scripters, I should clarify that Genesys Cloud CX dashboards provide real-time data, showing call counts, satisfaction levels, and pending interactions in the queue. Agents can see their workload and know when to take breaks, with managers benefiting from comprehensive team management. We also created dashboards tailored for point-of-sale locations managed by Genesys Cloud CX, and overall, we have been very satisfied. However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler. My overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX has been positive but should be seen in perspective, as nothing is purely black or white; there are shades of gray. While the metrics and system capabilities reflected success, our goal in implementing Genesys Cloud CX was to standardize processes. Thus, we faced challenges related to change management due to the tool's complexity. It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.

"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."
 

Cons

"Try and correct bugs prior to release."
"What's currently limited is a forum for UK customer to share best practices with and to utilize these connections to ensure that we are using the system to its full capability."

"Gamification: We need help developing it, and what is currently shown is not enough."

"We have encountered plenty of deployment issues."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."

"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"For the HIPAA instance where we use Genesys as a carrier, we face multiple issues. In that instance, calls are not consistent."
