Omnichannel features have unified journeys and AI now speeds up responses for our agents
NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives. When it comes to solutioning, there are too many SKUs, which are line items or components that could have been bundled together. For example, CXone agent licenses do not include QM in the basic packages, whereas in the Genesis world it is bundled. The price comparison is higher compared to Genesis or other platforms. I have been using Genesis for three to four years across multiple customers, and now that NICE CXone has become available, I have started comparing all the features and benefits. I find there are some gaps, with more features available but at a higher cost for NICE. Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment of NICE CXone, the main challenge is working with the NICE team. The speed of onboarding is lengthy and people-dependent initially. When comparing with other OEMs and CCaaS products, the UI interface and partner portal have multiple access points. I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location. There is room for improvement in this area, though gradually NICE can change this approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"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."
"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."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"The system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
"MindTouch seemed to deliver the complete package, and we've not looked back."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"The only thing I liked about this was the fact that you can create an online help system where information changes dynamically."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
 

Cons

"Stream activity could be better organized."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"The mobile app could be better."
"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."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"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."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"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."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio."
"It could improve the quality of calls."

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…
