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.

Workflows are very good, integrate with a lot of things and effective real-time feedback mechanism
There is a lot to improve in Qualtrics. 1. The dashboard is quite slow compared to other dashboards like Power BI and Tableau. The attractiveness of the dashboard also needs work. For example, if I want to move widgets from one page to another, I have to do it one by one. If there are many widgets, I cannot multi-select and move them. 2. In workflows, they can be categorized into folders. Currently, there is no folder structure. So, Qualtrics should introduce folders where you can put multiple workflows in one place. 3. Qualtrics can also introduce AI features to suggest how to build a survey. For example, if I make a grammatical error or if I input a query that a client is looking for a particular kind of survey with a specific use case, it should automatically suggest some templates for building a survey. There are a lot of things they can improve on. These are just a few.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"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."
"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 latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"Text iQ is a great feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its setup process. I find it intuitive, especially regarding tasks like randomization and survey logic. Delighted by Qualtrics is intuitive compared to many competitors, which justifies its price."
"We can integrate data and run an algorithm."
"The most valuable feature of Qualtrics Customer XM is the survey, which is very user-friendly and designed as a drag-and-drop item."
"Its flexibility allows for easy adjustments to subscriptions, which contributes to user satisfaction"
"The solution has other extra features, like Stats iQ, Text iQ, and Predict iQ."
"Workflows are very powerful. There are a lot of good things, but I feel workflows are the best."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its simplicity and standardization. The consistent look and feel across surveys make it easy to use and provide a sense of simplicity. Once I've navigated through it for one survey, I feel confident I can efficiently handle the next hundred surveys. The intuitive interface contributes to the overall ease of use."
 

Cons

"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"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 whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"It is not easy to implement."
"The dashboard is quite slow compared to other dashboards like Power BI and Tableau. The attractiveness of the dashboard also needs work."
"Most of the improvements made constantly cause some friction in the platform."
"The solution is expensive. It needs to improve the server builder, which can help it do impressive research. When I mention that the server builder can improve, I'm referring to the ease of performing tasks like implicit association testing. While it's possible to do these tasks in Delighted by Qualtrics, it's not as straightforward to create them. Additionally, there are different tiers of features based on the payment plan. As a collaborator, I may not completely oversee all the features available."
"I suggest to the Delighted by Qualtrics development or R & D team to consider incorporating advanced AI capabilities into their platform. In the current trend where AI is being integrated into various tools, introducing features that enable users to generate surveys efficiently through conversational interfaces or minimal instructions would be a significant advancement."
"The solution should add more visual-type elements or image-based question approaches."
"Sometimes, a lot of emails bounce back during email distribution."
"Certain limitations could be addressed in the product. For example, when implementing surveys for diverse product ranges or categories, the platform needs help to adjust questions based on user responses dynamically."

"Delighted by Qualtrics is more expensive than the competitor solutions"
"Pricing depends upon the different kinds of use cases."
