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 came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"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."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"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."
"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."
"Converting our PDFs to MindTouch is like adding a huge new feature to our software product line and it has, so far, had a great approval rate amongst our clients."
"Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents."
"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."
"NICE CXone has positively impacted the organization as the website was built from scratch; I was hired to build this website six years ago, and it has grown phenomenally."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"The agent list is the most valuable feature because we are able to see what each person is doing."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
 

Cons

"The mobile app could be better."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"A better approach would be to have built-in routing capabilities for scenarios such as routing by area code to different agents, rather than having to build this functionality with snippets."
"Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while."
"Some of the platform enhancements could be improved, as it takes a very long time to get features added into the platform."
"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."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"I was using a very old version (2010), and the user interface was bad making it difficult to perform simple tasks."
"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."

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…
