Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When users have a problem, they report using Service Desk and it is very useful for this.""Right now, we are starting to be dependent on the CMDB a lot.""The most valuable fractures of Clarity SM are its ease of use and security. I have been highly satisfied. We've been able to integrate it with email and an SMS gateway for the purposes of notifications. That works very well.""Self-service interface means people can check their own tickets.""The view it provides into who's doing the work.""The UI is very user-friendly.""There is a lot of flexibility in the system. There has not yet been a case where we've had people come to us and say, "Hey, can you guys do this?" and we can't. Some of it is obviously a little bit more complicated at times, but the flexibility in the system provides a lot.""We have decreased training and talk time, and all those good stats, just by reusing information, not reinventing it, every time we get a call."

"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.""We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not.""Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""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.""I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG.""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.""Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."

Cons
"More user experience in the look and feel of the application. ​""They should enhance the service desk manager's service point function to be more customizable.""We need a mobile solution. We are not using any mobile functionality for the product, but we think that this necessary.""The product needs to have a better user experience in the interface and mobile functionality.​""The API is very, very bad so we developed our own.""Right now, you have to create the Scoreboards individually for roles or users. If they could separate that functionality, and create the scoreboards separately, and then just link scoreboards to roles and users - that way you could reuse the same ones - that would be a huge benefit. I know, because they're a nightmare to manage at times.""Clarity tech support has gotten worse since Broadcom acquired CA Technologies. We're not getting the support we've come to expect as a large enterprise. Clarity's support needs to improve, or it's going to lose market share.""The monitoring tool is in need of improvement."

More Clarity SM Cons →

"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific.""There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release.""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.""It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out.""One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker.""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.""If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow.""inContact should offer a way to send faxes."

  • "Pricing is simple, as it’s per concurrent analysts."
