James Arvidson - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Some of the most valuable features are simplicity, ease of configuration, and ease of customization."
"The most valuable feature of Jira is that it is free of cost, which is a significant advantage."
"I find the Kanban chart where we put each story in to be the most valuable feature. We use the Kanban chart to revise the project every morning in our five-minute meeting."
"The centralized feature allows us to track test cases and integrate with automation and bug fixing."
"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated."
"The customer portal allows users to register tickets themselves."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"Jira Service Management is flexible. It is easy to navigate without requiring extra learning. The user experience has been good."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"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."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"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."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
 

Cons

"One thing I would suggest is that before we create an epic, we mention the required stories in its description. Then AI could directly create those stories instead of doing it manually inside the table, so that integration can occur."
"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"It has change management and incident management, but CMDB is not there. It's also not as user-friendly as ServiceNow."
"It is pretty complex to move between the test environment and the production environment. There is potential for improvement."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"From the customer side, it's not friendly used compared to other competitors, like ServiceNow or BMC. It's also not fully ITSM management if you compare it with ServiceNow or BMC. They have a full model of ITSM. In BMC they have TrueSight, they have Discovery, which helps IT to discover IT equipment with a serial number, with the specs, capacity of the server."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
"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."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cheaply priced product."
"On a scale of one to five, where five is a good price and one is high, I would rate this solution as a three. It isn't cheap but it's not ridiculous."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"But about the plugins, I found one plug-in — its name is Actionable Metric I think — and it is $3000. That is very expensive for users in Iran."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
