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

"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"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."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"The best features NICE CXone offers include integrations, flexibility, and a modern AI base that is built into the platform."
"We have seen improvements in agent productivity, customer satisfaction, and reduced wait times, specifically an improvement in our CSAT scores and NPS scores, a reduction in cost per call, a decrease in average handle time, and utilization across the board has improved."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
"The only thing I liked about this was the fact that you can create an online help system where information changes dynamically."
"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."
"A combination of these two elements yields positive impact, and we see metrics indicating self-servicing where calls are not getting escalated to agents, and feedback has improved significantly."
"I assess the impact of the omnichannel capabilities on customer journey consistency as excellent, as it is a single pane of glass solution where all channels and omnichannel features are available, which is very supportive and increases customer productivity overall."
"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."
 

Cons

"The mobile app could be better."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"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."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"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."
"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."
"I think that there is a bit of a delay in the accuracy and reliability of the output I see in NICE CXone, as I mentioned before."
"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."
"One area where CXone could improve is in creating a more streamlined, user-friendly interface."
"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."
"NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
