Offers built-in AI functionality, broad third-party integrations, out-of-the-box AI features and designed specifically for contact centers
The best thing about Genesys Cloud CX is that it's designed specifically for contact centers and offers robust reporting capabilities. It also has a great marketplace for integrations with different third-party applications like Salesforce, Zendesk, and HubSpot. I appreciate how easy it is to integrate with Genesys and utilize its out-of-the-box AI features. Deployment and customization are also easy and straightforward. Furthermore, I like the intelligent routing in Genesys Cloud CX, along with the flexibility between skill-based and queue-based routing. These are valuable, contact-center-focused features. Finally, if the customer is already using AWS and has applications there, Genesys Cloud CX integrates easily with the AWS ecosystem.

Helps business track their customers, sales leads, and opportunities
An area for improvement is the vendors' inability to understand the customers' requirements and communicate them to Oracle. When we started to implement the tool, and during the very initial phases of the product, when Oracle launched it, our company opted for it. We faced a few challenges related to the product speed associated with some functionalities that were not available when the tool was just launched, but later on, it became available, and right now, we are actually using it. The tool is fulfilling our requirements. There were no major hiccups or challenges due to the tool. The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"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 stability is really good."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"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 most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"Oracle CRM accommodates client needs, potentially reducing licensing costs with a pay-as-you-go approach. It also allows for the standardization of processes and reporting, which is important for our organization. Additionally, integration through APIs improves connectivity."
"We are able to take back control of our client sales information and analyze it for the future to improve."
"It is very simple."
"CRM's performance is good, we've never faced any issues with it."
"It is one of the most proficient CRM tools out there. It is comprehensive and scalable. It covers most of the CRM activities, business lines, and business requirements."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is user-friendly and the fact that the database handling is much better, like any other Oracle solution."
"Oracle CRM is very, very stable, one of the most stable products I've used in my career, and doesn't require much maintenance."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"The cost needs to be improved, and it should be easier to integrate."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"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 tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"The cost can be a bit more expensive compared to other options."
"I'd like to see more feature enhancements."
"The product is not intuitive."
"I would like to remove all manual work and get the benefits of the function that Oracle provides without any manual interference or paperwork."
"This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable."
"The solution's mobile app needs to be enriched with more functionalities in the future."
"With Oracle CRM, people report some usual downtime and frequent outages."
"Improvements could be made in automating certain tasks, such as automatically notifying me via email when a customer has signed off on a proposal. Some of these features require payment, but including them in the basic package for smaller companies would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"We have annual licenses to use this solution that are quite expensive. For example, we have approximately four types of licenses and we have one annual contract for the number of licenses we use for Oracle CRM and the loyalty system."
"We were able to get a ten-year contract for a very good discount with our three platforms together with Oracle."
"Shifting from traditional licensing and monthly maintenance fees to a subscription-based, pay-as-you-use model offers several advantages. This approach only charges me for my transactions, aligning costs with business performance. As my company grows, the software provider's revenue grows proportionally to the increased usage. The cost and suitability of Oracle CRM depend on factors like location, industry, and compliance needs. It may be more common for US companies to use Oracle CRM and European ones to use SAP."
"The tool's pricing involves a monthly subscription fee based on the number of users. I believe it's around $20 per user initially, and then an additional five dollars per user if more users are added."
"There is a license required to use this solution. The price is reasonable for a CRM."
"It is not cheap. It is more suitable for big companies."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing for licensing is pretty expensive. If you need one particular feature it becomes expensive to have to continue paying for it."
