Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not.""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.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG.""Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training.""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.""Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."

"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up.""The complexity of the solution is very less.""It is a stable product.""The strength lies in its ability to work cohesively with other systems, creating a centralized hub that enhances efficiency and collaboration across various functionalities within our organization.""The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians.""I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details.""It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ.""Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features. It includes robust case routing, escalation capabilities, entitlement mapping, and entanglement rules. Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number."

Cons
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing.""If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow.""I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific.""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.""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 could improve the quality of calls."

More NICE CXone Cons →

"The documentation could be improved.""The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations.""The integrations with other solutions can be improved.""The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license.""The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper.""I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""One minor drawback is that its implementation requires some preparation. It's not something you can implement instantly; it takes time. The only issue I've encountered is that you need to ensure the implementation is done properly, which can be time-consuming. So, it requires some time and attention."

  • "The price is too expensive."
