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.

It integrates well with our existing solutions, so we can analyze the data for analytics, forecasting and modeling
Setting up SAP CRM is straightforward. I rate it eight out of 10 for ease of setup. SAP provides all the tools and techniques were available from the vendor. However, the integration portion is a lot of work and requires some functional consultants. It takes some effort to customize the program and rewrite it to align with our business standards, but the initial implementation is straightforward. We didn't face any challenges here. Total deployment for this project took around eight or nine months, including development, testing, and validation. After deployment, the administration is fairly simple. We have to take care of the licensing part and forecast data growth for the next three or four months. We have the tools and people available for operations as well as vendor support. If we have complex issues, we can raise a ticket to the vendor and get it sorted.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"The stability is really good."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"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."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"When we are using SAP CRM we receive more accurate results than using any other CRM system."
"SAP CRM is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is real-time data. You don't have to go to the finance team for information. On one screen, you can see if stock is available and check the customer's outstanding balance, and then you can process the order. SAP CRM's integration with other applications is easier."
"SAP is very easy to use."
"Compared to other systems, SAP CRM has been reliable, stable, and cost-effective for us."
"The most valuable feature is lead management and integration."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility to consolidate the products."
"It was comfortable setting up the tool."
 

Cons

"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"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."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"The cost needs to be improved, and it should be easier to integrate."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"There is no scope for integration because SAP does not allow any personal integration."
"The integration of SAP CRM with the SAP platform is relatively easier as compared to any other third-party product. If you go for any other third-party product, you will have a lot of challenges in terms of integration."
"There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems."
"It can be a bit more user friendly, to be honest. Sometimes there are too many apps options. It should offer better UX (user experience) to make it easier to navigate and easier to use."
"What I see as a challenge against our competitor is that Salesforce comes with more flexibility, for enhancement purposes, whereas the SAP CRM Cloud is more robust and rigid. It's not flexible to implement any bespoke solution."
"There could be some specific configurable options on the UI level to improve visibility."
"The product is very expensive."
"They have recently updated their user interface but they should continue to improve upon it in the future. Additionally, overall performance or speed of response times could be better."
 

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."
"The pricing is a bit 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."
"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
