Program Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys
One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"The best features NICE CXone offers include integrations, flexibility, and a modern AI base that is built into the platform."
"NICE CXone has positively impacted my organization by seamlessly joining our calls without any call drops, allowing me to listen to a call with ease, and making everything really easy to use and self-explanatory."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup of NICE CXone was straightforward and easy for our team, as the implementation team we worked with was very good at what they did."
"After introducing NICE CXone to our workflows, we are seeing faster resolution of all open cases and shorter resolution time and shorter waiting time, which we had problems with previously."
"If you are wondering if you or your company should use NICE inContact, I would suggest reaching out to them and asking for a demonstration."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
 

Cons

"The mobile app could be better."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"The development tools in NICE CXone could be better, as there are some pain points."
"However, being a NICE consumer or developer for these instances and products currently, it becomes challenging due to documentation issues and the instability of some products."
"One area where CXone could improve is in creating a more streamlined, user-friendly interface."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"One of the things I dislike about NICE CXone is that during the evaluation process, it was promised that true omnichannel routing would be part of the product, but it turns out that was not necessarily the case."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"I was using a very old version (2010), and the user interface was bad making it difficult to perform simple tasks."
"The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio."
