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

"Easily integrates with other tools."
"We have an Agile environment and using Jira makes it easy to adhere to Agile best practices."
"Two features I like about Jira are its ticketing system and its compatibility with Confluence. Also, the Knowledge Base is one of the more valuable features that would really benefit us."
"Its integration is most valuable. It is pretty open for integration."
"​Allows customized processes for our service contracts."
"The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
"It is 100% stable."
"Provides excellent management features."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
 

Cons

"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
"​SaaS version for large organizations (more than 2000 users) is not available."
"Instability happens sometimes - although not frequently."
"JSM's ability to handle large volumes of emails isn't great."
"Initially, as a completely new user, the interface was not very user-friendly, with many cluttered options."
"It would be beneficial if we could turn comments into subtasks or other JIRA tickets directly."
"The deployment can be a bit complex, especially for those who are not technical."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"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."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"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."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
"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."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"We have paid $20,000 recently for a one-year license for our on-prem server."
"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."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"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 pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
