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

"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"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."
"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."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"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."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"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."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
"The agent list is the most valuable feature because we are able to see what each person is doing."
"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."
"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."
"The only thing I liked about this was the fact that you can create an online help system where information changes dynamically."
"NICE CXone allows agents to request time off and trade schedules with other people, access training and coaching, and play games to help improve their performance, functioning as a good one-stop shop where they can input their preferred hours and manage their schedules, rather than having to go to multiple places for professional development."
"NICE CXone has impacted my organization positively by empowering managers, team leaders, and supervisors to be more autonomous and to proactively manage their team in real time."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The mobile app could be better."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"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."
"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."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the platform enhancements could be improved, as it takes a very long time to get features added into the platform."
"NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives."
"Occasionally, the system runs slow and will kick us out of Max, which then has to be restarted, and can cause issues as our call center deals with time sensitive phone calls."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"However, Stage labels do nothing. They simply label the page with the Stage name."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."

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…
