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.

Comes with complaint management feature but improvement is needed in UI
We use the solution in sales and phone banking. We use its marketing module. It also helps us with analytics because we have the Customer 360 built into it The tool's complaint management feature is very good. We used a CRM before, which lacked the integrations, so complaints had to be handled…

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 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 easier to use because everything is already built. Another valuable feature of Genesys Cloud is drag-and-drop."
"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."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"Siebel is easy to configure and comes with various pre-built industry verticals, so it doesn't require much effort. If you want to roll out Siebel in telecom or manufacturing, they have the verticals."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"The best thing about the tool is its data model. The underlying data model refers to how the data is stored in databases. We can also experience the ease of developing anything with the tool. We can customize any functionality as per any business challenge."
"Siebel CRM is the number one CRM product in the world."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"It is quite robust and flexible. You can develop almost anything you want. You go into the tools, and you can do anything you want."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"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."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"Currently, Siebel CRM is not helping the agent provide faster feedback to the customer."
"Siebel CRM should improve its UI. Because it's all about the customer experience and how the customer experiences it, the internal customer is more important for CRM than the people handling the company. So, you get frustrated if you don't have a very good user interface and user experience."
"I want Oracle to improve the tool’s UI with a vanilla application. I would also like to see an insurance broking vertical in their future releases. There are thousands of brokers who look for an insurance broking solution."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"It is difficult to set up."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"Oracle needs to improve its support. The major drawback I've observed with Siebel CRM is that Oracle hasn't taken appropriate steps to improve it since 2019. We noticed a steep downfall because Oracle was slow to roll out upgrades like Open UI. By the time these upgrades were available, the market had shifted to cloud solutions, which competitors were already providing much earlier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"This solution is expensive compared to other solutions in the market. This makes it difficult to convince our customers to use it. The customers who are already using Siebel have thought about moving to Velocity or Salesforce."
"The price of Siebel CRM depends on the usage of the business requirement. For large enterprises the price it's very good but if you are using it for medium scale enterprises, the price is very expensive."
"I think the tool’s pricing is exaggerated. Once you do the price sizing as per your business needs, you would find that the price of other solutions like Zoho CRM, HubSpot CRM, Salesforce CRM, etc. would be always the same."
