"Agent Assist and AI server are the two best features because they remind new and existing agents about tips and generate detailed case summaries, saving them the time and effort of making small modifications before posting."
"When it comes to drop calls, we don't have a problem. They are performing to our satisfaction."
"Five9 has made our contact center more flexible by taking it to the cloud. The user experience for agents is great because everything is on one dashboard, from the dialer to the workflows for transferring calls and creating tickets."
"The reporting is good, and we're testing AI summaries now. Also, the workflow automation feature, so far, has been good."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Five9 is its AI feature, mainly the feature that gives AI summaries called Agent Assist, where the AI listens to the call, transcribes it, and then creates a summary at the end of the call, which has cut the ACW of agents in half."
"The product’s IVR script editor is very easy and simple to use."
"I'm interested in all the features we're using and the reporting that's needed to get them up and running."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"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."
"The stability is really good."
"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."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"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."
"Five9 has an active-passive high-availability model. I would prefer active-active."
"The pricing could be improved. It is set in US dollars, so it doesn't account for the exchange rate with other regions."
"It would be ideal if they could combine the tools into one suite."
"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."
"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."
"Five9 Omnichannel’s UI could be improved."
"Maintaining the original DNS on Five9 across campaigns is difficult."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"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."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
