Ibrahim Halil Gogus - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable, easy to configure, flexible, and customizable
Genesys Voice Platform needs to bring back the multicloud platform similar to a cloud solution on-premise. My organization was excited about the multicloud and was planning to switch to it, but then Genesys announced that it would no longer be available or supported. I used to work in a bank in Turkey, and because of some banking regulations, you cannot use cloud platforms such as Google Cloud or Amazon, so the workaround is using a multicloud platform. Genesys Voice Platform needs to be available on a multicloud platform, and that's an area for improvement. Documentation for the product also needs improvement. It needs to be complete, and when you search on Google, for example, you can only find so many resources. As a developer, I was trying to implement and customize the agent desktop and needed more information. Still, I didn't find it on the existing documentation for the Genesys Voice Platform. It only pointed out some technical issues and solutions, but the information provided needed to be better, which is why sometimes, it takes time to create custom integrations and applications. The documentation that talked about developing custom applications needs improvement as well. I want to pay more attention to the predictive routing feature of Genesys Voice Platform because it's very nice, but I need to check it out first. Otherwise, Genesys Voice Platform is a solid and good product.

A software that enables centers to operate more efficiently, increase the quality of every customer interaction, create new pathways to profit, and ensure ongoing customer-centric business improvemen
One of the best aspects of CXone is its omnichannel experience. It treats all contacts, whether phone, chat, email, or SMS, through the same system, allowing for consistent reporting and a true omnichannel experience. The platform is very flexible. You can customize it to do almost anything as long as it's based on logic, which has been incredibly valuable. In terms of analytics, CXone offers consistent, accessible data across all channels. In the past, different systems like Avaya for phones or separate platforms for chat and email made it hard to compare performance across channels. With CXone, you get the same data points across all interactions, making decision-making much easier. It also allows for deeper reporting, like IVR reporting, where you can see what options people choose and create custom KPIs for better insight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like most about Genesys Voice Platform is its stability. It's also easy to configure and a flexible and customizable product."
"The resource managers and the MCPs that are deployed with this solution are the most valuable features."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
 

Cons

"This is primarily a large-market solution, so I would like it to be more compatible with mid-markets and with Genesys Cloud."
"Genesys Voice Platform needs to be available on a multicloud platform, and that's an area for improvement. Documentation for the product also needs improvement. It needs to be complete, and when you search on Google, for example, you can only find so many resources."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of licensing, Genesys Voice Platform isn't open-source. Genesys has some resources available to the public, but as a product, Genesys Voice Platform requires a license. You need to register and pay for the training to gain access. I know that Genesys Voice Platform is an expensive solution, and it's more for large-scale companies."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
