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 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 most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"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."
"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."
"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 stability is really good."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility to consolidate the products."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"I have found the sales reporting feature specifically useful as it provides reporting and visualization which helps in decision-making. I use this to understand where to improve, which in-turn, helps generate sales."
"The platform is highly scalable."
"The stability is good."
"SAP CRM's most valuable at a branch level."
"I have found the most valuable feature of the SAP CRM system is its ability to integrate with other modules. SAP CRM is all about integrating with other modules. For example, SuccessFactors is their learning management. This is one use case that SAP CRM themselves use. Their lead generation versus their sales from their educational services. You can instantly receive insight into how many leads have been generated and how much it turned into real business or revenue for them. I was told in one of the seminars that the data transfer from the lead generation to sales is only 24 hours in SAP CRM."
"The primary use case for us is lead creation and data management."
 

Cons

"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"They could improve the product's analytics and reporting capabilities. Additionally, they could enhance its web interface speed."
"There is no scope for integration because SAP does not allow any personal integration."
"It was not very stable. It was not a network problem because we were using tools that were not SAP. They were working well. But when I'm running the SAP, it's not working for us."
"I think what needs to be improved is the solution for Brazil's organization."
"SAP CRM could improve in the area of user-friendliness. It would help if you had an engineer to do the administration. The migration is complex when moving from the old version to the latest version."
"SAP CRM could improve by making the solution more current, it is out of date. There are no more updates for SAP CRM."
"SAP CRM should create a more user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)."
"The navigation must be improved."
 

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."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"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."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"The solution 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."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
"As for the product licensing, we pay an annual fee. It's important to consider setup costs and licensing based on your organization's budget and needs."
