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

"I'm mainly working in the ITSM module of JIRA Service Management, and the integration between the system incident and how you can link all the records to the change makes it quite powerful."
"It is much more controlled and allows for different kinds of customization that we can plan and implement based on the project requirements."
"A good organizational tool."
"Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy."
"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."
"I like the history, the dimensioning, and how I can configure a space based on my preferences or the project circumstances."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"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."
"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."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"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."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
 

Cons

"What needs to be added in Jira Service Management is the user screen. You'll find it very weird if this is your first time using the solution. The user-friendliness of its interface needs improvement."
"The deployment can be a bit complex, especially for those who are not technical."
"JIRA Service Management should make reporting easier. I would like something integrated with DevOps tools."
"The performance in cloud service management could be improved."
"I rate Atlassian support two out of 10. It takes a lot of time to reach them and get ahold of someone who understands my problem enough to provide a solution. Also, I live in Israel, so my work week is Sunday through Thursday, but I can only contact them from Monday to Wednesday."
"A lot of users have said that they want a feature that was on the on-prem version of Jira and the vendor can't deliver. They're either unwilling or unable to give feature parity."
"I'd like to update the dashboard so that more features are available."
"I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"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."
"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."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
"Do not forget to calculate add-on costs. These cost a percentage of the JIRA purchasing costs and are based on the number of JIRA users."
"JIRA Service Management's pricing is pretty decent compared to competitors. I rate the pricing an eight to nine on a scale of one to ten."
"It depends on the number of users but it starts at $20 per month per user. I would rate them a three out of five for pricing."
"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
