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.

Good solution for controlling company processes
Our primary use case for SAP is as a principal company system and it's relatively easy to understand our process in the system. It's quite easy to analyze the configuration and make other operations make custom accounts for the application. In my opinion, it's a good experience I don't have a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"The stability is really good."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"SAP is very easy to use."
"The solution assists us in identifying what to send, what to offer, and what customers are buying."
"Once the lead is matured, you can convert it into an opportunity and you can track it by the opportunity based on the product segment."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Compared to other systems, SAP CRM has been reliable, stable, and cost-effective for us."
"SAP CRM has a good performance."
"What I found most valuable in SAP CRM is its multitenancy, and you can use it from your website, SMS, and even social media, and it's all integrated, so my company is trying to leverage on all of those."
"The tool is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
"The cost needs to be improved, and it should be easier to integrate."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"The product is very expensive."
"When features do get added, we would like the product to notify us in a timely way."
"SAP CRM could improve by making the solution more current, it is out of date. There are no more updates for SAP CRM."
"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."
"SAP CRM should create a more user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)."
"There could be some specific configurable options on the UI level to improve visibility."
"Previously, the SAP CRM used to use simple servers, but now SAP uses HANA. The problem with the HANA databases is their interoperability with other solutions. SAP CRM could improve by working better with other solutions."
"They should improve the design to make it more appealing to users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is a bit expensive."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"Every user needs to have a license."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"The product is costly."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"SAP CRM offers a free trial for anyone wanting to test the product before purchasing it."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
