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.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG.""I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard.""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.""Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""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."

"The most valuable feature is the integration between net and mobile devices.""The functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent.""The most valuable feature of Office 365 is automatic saving. If something happens on the computer your work is saved.""OneNote is the feature I use the most. We also frequently use the Power Apps features.""Cloud-based management is valuable and software deployment is positive.""It is stable.""I love all of the applications being interlinked. I do not have to separately work on an independent system when it comes to file storage, email, and other tools.""The phone VoIP product provides genuine a unified communication solution."

Cons
"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.""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.""It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out.""It could improve the quality of calls.""inContact should offer a way to send faxes.""I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific.""MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing.""One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."

More NICE CXone Cons →

"Integration with other platforms can be improved.""Security is still complex, but the admin console improving.""The integration with mobile services is not so good. It's coming, but they could improve a lot.""There are several additional features we would like to see, such as advanced features of SAN protection in Office 365. The main thing is the SAN protection; we would like to see a lot of advanced features added because we had a lot of spam attacks.""A need that a company like ours has is that we want to be able to have data flow into one tool, for example, for all the management of tasks through the company and workflow of who is doing what and so on. There are no real solutions for this at the moment in Office 365. It would be nice if they could implement this in the next release, so we can have one solution from one company giving us the whole data and flow of data into the company.""Office 365 could be easier to use at first. Tutorials are needed to know how to use the solution.""Data protection and email security are almost the same for all the organizations, irrespective of their segment (SMB or enterprises), with standard subscription at least basic Data loss prevention and Advance threat protection can be enabled for SMB segments, it is available in enterprise version / Premium versions.""I'd like to see them add more features in the future in order to continue to advance the product."
