Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I'm interested in all the features we're using and the reporting that's needed to get them up and running.""It helped reduce costs in our organization. We've saved on staffing and we've saved on software by 10% to 15%.""I like the fact that I can customize the cadencing. I can drill in and create custom contact point cadencing for all of our different categories of leads. We attack some people more aggressively, but others much more softly. I have much more confidence that things aren't slipping through the cracks. It continues to bring customers up for us until they've either moved through the cycle or we've removed them from the cycle. It gives us greater peace of mind. The ability to get in quickly and customize many of those pieces easily was appealing to us.""I like the ease with which we can make changes if necessary. Currently, we are using it for phone and email distribution, but we're talking about adding chat and delving into the omnichannel features more.""Five9's most critical feature is a common user interface that delivers consistent customer service across various channels.""The admin platform is easy to use and navigate. That has been incredibly useful for us because it has given us the ability to self-provision in a lot of situations. The ability to create and track data elements has also been a valuable addition.""Before using the WFO and its analytics, our quality teams would listen to only 5 percent of contacts a week, per employee, which is a very small part of what an employee is doing... Now, this tool does an automatic evaluation of 100 percent of their calls. It has certainly helped the QA teams in their training, and that, in turn, helps our clients.""The reporting is good, and we're testing AI summaries now. Also, the workflow automation feature, so far, has been good."

More Five9 Pros →

"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need.""The stability is really good.""Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality.""The most valuable features include being an omnichannel solution with customer journey insights, full reporting, and continuous updates based on consumer feedback through their portal.""Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform.""Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows.""What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's easier to use because everything is already built. Another valuable feature of Genesys Cloud is drag-and-drop.""What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's a complete cloud solution, so it's reliable and 99.99% available. It's also elastic. Genesys Cloud also has chatbots, which I find valuable."

More Genesys Cloud CX Pros →

"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."

More Genesys PureConnect Pros →

Cons
"What would make Five9 better is a partnership with an SMS AI solution, which would make Five9 pretty powerful.""I would like to see more of the functions from the original Five9 adapter included in the Salesforce Plus adapter, as they do not automatically update when Five9 releases new features.""Five9's stability needs to be improved.""Five9 has an active-passive high-availability model. I would prefer active-active.""There are some minor issues with some of their filtering that I'd like them to handle on their back end. The only limitation I can think of is that I'm always looking backward and can't look forward. I can't see how many calls are scheduled for tomorrow based on our system.""Maybe they could do better on how we access all the data if we want the data to work outside of Five9. Sometimes, that's not the easiest process. It's not bad, but if there's an area for improvement, that could be one.""An area for improvement in Five9 is the reporting on the emails, as it's not very user-friendly. It's a bit tricky because you must manually add filters to see how many emails each agent answers.""I rate Five9 support five out of 10. My experience with Five9 support has been mixed. It's good at times but not particularly helpful sometimes."

More Five9 Cons →

"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful.""Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud.""The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies.""AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement.""I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud.""Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement.""Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution.""One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Their license structure, out of the box, is better than that of other providers and their pricing is much less than other vendors we've looked at."
  • "The pricing seems reasonable. I had anticipated that whatever solution we went with would be more expensive. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the features that we had in Evolve IP, one-to-one, did not cost significantly more in Five9."
  • "Five9 is reasonable."
  • "Five9 is expensive, but most companies would find that using it is worth the cost."
  • "The product is not the most expensive, but it's not cheap."
  • "The product's pricing is flexible and reasonable."
  • "I'm mainly the system administrator, so I don't have information on how much Five9 costs."
  • "The cost is not at the lower end of the market, but it's worth it."
  • More Five9 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
  • "Genesys Cloud has pay-as-you-go pricing, so it's much cheaper than the on-premises solution. Apart from the standard fees, my company pays for Genesys support."
  • "I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
