We compared Five9 and Genesys Cloud across several parameters based on verified reviews from real users. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Based on user reviews, Genesys Cloud CX has seamless integration with various communication channels, efficient call routing and management, robust reporting and analytics capabilities, and the ability to provide personalized customer experiences. Users highly praise Five9's customer service and support, describing them as prompt, effective, and knowledgeable. While both products have positive feedback on pricing and ROI, Genesys Cloud CX users have expressed the need for better system stability, improved user interface, and enhanced integration capabilities.
"Queue callback, agent skill-based routing, call reporting, and the flexibility to log in from anywhere are some of the most valuable features for our organization."
"The product’s IVR script editor is very easy and simple to use."
"I like the capability of call and screen recording. It has helped us to hold our agents accountable to the expectations for the role. It creates a clearer picture than giving feedback that is just based on calls that we may have listened to, but we do not have anything to show the agents themselves."
"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 admin tools are most valuable, such as using the UI to configure all the campaigns and all the settings that we use. Also, the monitoring panels it has are very good. Our supervisors and sales managers build dashboards in the solution so that we can understand how our operation is performing throughout the day. That is very useful."
"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."
"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."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"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 CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"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."
"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 Omnichannel’s UI could be improved."
"Integration with third-party solutions can be difficult and has room for improvement."
"Five9's stability needs to be improved."
"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."
"There are certain issues around features that Chrome has deployed that we have to figure out. When we bring them to Five9's attention, they are usually able to help us navigate them. It seems that sometimes they already know about an issue, so it would be helpful if they more proactively engaged with us first..."
"The SMS feature could use some improvement as far as the opt-out process goes."
"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."
"The pricing could be improved. It is set in US dollars, so it doesn't account for the exchange rate with other regions."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"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."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
