Genesys Cloud CX
Score 7.9 out of 10
N/A
Genesys Cloud CX (formerly PureCloud, Genesys Cloud) is a contact center application optimized for automatic call distribution, interactive voice response, email, social media, chat, and text/SMS. It is also a VoIP interconnect service provider.
Aircall’s integration to our CRM, salesforce is second to none. Right after a call is made it is uploaded into salesforce right away and is a great way for our reps to reference back on.
dialpad was far more of a struggle to access call recordings for my reps as not only was …
Aircall is a little different from Intercom in that it is specifically for phone and text BUT Intercom just released phone calls and texting options.....
Aircall has a better interface and IVR system then Groove. It also does a much better job integrating with our CRM (Salesforce) and pulling caller IDs from our database vs Groove. I prefer Aircall over Groove and HubSpot, primarily becasue we are a smaller organization and it …
I am not the right person to answer this because I don't make the purchase decisions within our company. I have worked with several companies, and every one of them has their tools. I particularly liked Aircall among all of them because of the different reasons I have already …
We have used Aircall for so long that I cannot remember the name of the company we were using beforehand. I remember that we did make the switch to Aircall because the connection was stronger. We often had call quality issues with the other guys. While this does occur every now …
Aircall is loads better than Grasshopper due to its ease of use and overall platform. Grasshopper is fine, but the price is about the same and Aircall is smoother (and prettier). The only disadvantage if moving from RingCentral to Aircall is the texting feature. Aircall does …
Zendesk could not help us expand our numbers abroad due to too restrictive regulations applied. Aircall however, if provided with appropriate documents, allowed us to keep existing phone numbers and expand them
We used to answer phone calls on our fix line when at the office. The quality was very bad but we had in mind that a VOIP solution would be too expensive. When lockdown began last year, I had to redirect calls on my own mobile phone which was not efficient. Also I couldn't …
Groove was easily integrated with Salesforce CRM and meant that certain administrative tasks were a lot easier and less time consuming to do. The standalone dialer application (Windows) is easier to use than the Groove dialer, and uses far less resources. The addition of …
The only thing that is better than Aircall against Google Meets, is that Google meets has a camera option. However, that is not applicable for speaking to customers, but rather team mates.
It is the first product that we have used. We have not evaluated another option.It is the first product that we have used. We have not evaluated another option.It is the first product that we have used. We have not evaluated another option.It is the first product that we have …
We previously used Grasshopper. It was cumbersome and the web option was not user-friendly. It did incorporate texting but would not integrate with our CRM so we switched to Aircall. Aircall's interface is nicer to use and we are happy with the switch.
They had strong support, but their connectivity was the worst out of all of them and their product was also probably the least customizable for your company.
Aircall is a more smooth and easy to use against other tools that are out in the market today. This is the tool I used for two different companies and by just that it proves how effective and good Aircall is. I love the functions and how user friendly it is.
Significantly improved over PureConnect. Much more reliable and much more flexible and feature-rich. There are some features I strongly miss, like on-device logging for errors - in PureConnect, there were rolling logs for all components like the phone, recording, desktop app …
We used to use our internal software which has its own disadvantages. Major one was storage. We had so much data which was difficult to store. Switching to Genesys Cloud, the storage is not an issue now. We wanted a software which consist all the feature in one place. …
It's comparative rating with unique features as a Contact Centre Cloud offering. It has many contact centre features that help us upscale as needed. We certainly we need more visibility on customized reporting aspects of Genesys Cloud CX where out of box of performance views …
There's more control as an admin with Genesys Cloud CX compared to other cloud solutions. Features are also appreciated by the business users and the platform feels more streamlined than the competition. There's thought behind a lot of the features from the end users …
When compared to other platforms, Genesys appears to be a more stable and mature product, offering ease of use. Although there is an initial learning curve, once you have a fair understanding of the platform and know how to set up the contact center for new customers, as an …
We have been a long time genesys on Prem customer so we never had the desire to evaluate other cloud solutions because we are very happy with genesys and did not entertain the idea of jumping to a completely different solution.
Genesys Cloud CX had more flexibility on connecting to different SIP trunks and integrations, like being used as an embedded dialer in other CRMs we developed ourselves.
Much simpler to use and more adaptive. To use Enghouse in the cloud, we would have needed to install vir machines, etc. Genesys Cloud CX was out of the box.
Genesys Cloud CX has been a proven leader and early adopter with virtual routing technology constantly innovating and improving solutions features available.
We previously utilized Genesys Engage. The analytics and reporting in Genesys Engage cannot even compare to what we are seeing in Genesys Cloud CX. Genesys Cloud CX provides a very "hands on" experience for supervisors as well as analytics teams. Call recordings and analytics …
Pre-existing relationship with Genesys Cloud CX did influence our decision. Genesys Cloud CX seemed better suited to the size of our business. Genesys Cloud CX is also investing heavily in advanced AI capabilities that will heavily enhance the customer experience. Genesys Cloud …
Genesys meets the necessary requirements for our organization. The platforms named above partially met the requirements but not in their entirety. The training provided by Genesys through live or self-study courses or the knowledge base in the resource center is far superior to …
Genesys cloud is much easier to use and does not require software installation. This makes it easier to scale up and down with seasonality and customizable to each client's needs.
There was no comparison. Genesys Cloud CX has well thought out products on top of an Idea Lab that you can submit an idea for a new feature and Genesys takes suggestions for new features from there.
Genesys Cloud CX has all the features that Intercom and Zendesk have, and they're contained into one tool. Whether it's chat, voice and email, Genesys Cloud CX has them all. You can simply use one tool to do all three channels, which make it cost-effective and efficient at the …
Aircall is great for anyone who has multiple team members calling from the same number or a team that needs to call from many different numbers. The way Aircall allows users to organize people and numbers is extremely customizable and efficient. I think just about any business could benefit from using Aircall and highly recommend it!
Starting a contact center to handle large volume of customers per day - For promoting the business for outbound campaigns - With the Genesys architect you can design complex post Agent esclation flows - You can use Genesys to forward a call to any external IVR(Automation) bot - There is integration of Genesys adapter with Salesforce, in case some enterprise want to utilize the same Genesys license for Salesforce, they can do it.
No feature to update more than one phone line at the same time
Admins don't have access to the timeline of a call to see with which agent it rang
Missing agent-specific stats when your phone lines are organized in teams
If calls are setup to ring to a first group and then a second, if the whole first group is already busy, it does not go to the second group but puts the customer on hold
I give this rating as aircall is very easy to use but also lacks a parallel dialing feature which makes it slower to use. aircall has a pretty seamless integration with salesforce which is helpful. For the cost it is definitely very reasonable but it also lacks a live coaching/listening feature which is very valuable as a manager.
The upcoming upgrades working with Genesys Cloud and Salesforce are very exciting. Even though we don't use Genesys Cloud to the fullest extent it can be used (we just migrated a year ago), when these upgrades roll out, I am very excited to see what it can do to for our agents. I think they are going to be very impressed
I provide this rating based on my overall experience using Aircall. I have used it on my previous company as well and that being said, it is a proof that Aircall is a great tool to use in contact centers and with B2B businesses that has direct communication with clients.
Everything is very good. It is very useful, friendly to users and it makes our work easier than what we expected. I think that I don't need any help from someone on how to use Genesys coz basically they will directly feed it to you without any hassle on using it.
The platform is highly reliable, with minimal downtime or outages, and is generally available when needed. Over the course of using it, unplanned outages or application errors have been rare, and any issues that did arise were quickly resolved. Genesys provides robust support and maintenance, ensuring the system remains operational during critical business hours. However, like any cloud-based platform, there have been occasional disruptions, though these were infrequent and quickly addressed. Overall, its availability has been excellent, supporting smooth daily operations.
Overall, the platform performs well, with pages loading quickly and reports typically completing in a reasonable time, even with complex data. The interface is responsive, and most day-to-day tasks are executed efficiently. However, in some instances, especially during peak usage times or when running very detailed, large-scale reports, there can be slight delays. While these are rare, they occasionally affect workflow. Additionally, the platform generally integrates smoothly with other systems, though some integrations can slow down slightly, particularly when pulling large datasets or interacting with older, legacy systems. Nonetheless, the performance is strong and reliable for most use cases.
We've enjoyed using Aircall so far and have had no issues with it. The platform is easy to use, looks nice, and makes it easy to keep track of everything.
There seem to be so many pages and options for support - but none of them are very seamless and some are very hard to maneuver or manage. I would like to learn more about the product features and tutorials etc. - but have had a hard time finding appropriate content.
Genesys team that provide trainings are friendly and professional. They helped us to understand well the product and the functionalities. The training was detailed with use cases. At the end, we got a task to develop that ended with success and we got some Genesys rewards. It was amazing experience
In general, it gives a description and can help to understand what to do and how. but: Sometimes, it does not keep up with changes in the system (for example, in the GUI changes, additional features and so on). Sometimes, much easier and helpful to read the documentation (https://help.mypurecloud.com/) that gives the "better" explanations and takes less time.
My Team was involved in the discussion before implementing the application. We had a whole walkthrough of this product and during the demo itself we were very impressed with type of service we were getting. The integration of the product into our system was very quick and seamless.
I am not the right person to answer this because I don't make the purchase decisions within our company. I have worked with several companies, and every one of them has their tools. I particularly liked Aircall among all of them because of the different reasons I have already mentioned before.
Significantly improved over PureConnect. Much more reliable and much more flexible and feature-rich. There are some features I strongly miss, like on-device logging for errors - in PureConnect, there were rolling logs for all components like the phone, recording, desktop app etc. In GC these logs appear in the browser console (even in Desktop app) and have to be pre-configured, meaning often we don't capture a log for an error the agents have. Overall, a huge improvement - the IVR is much more flexible, admin is much more manageable, everything is a step up.
I give Genesys a rating of 10 for scalability because of its ability to adapt seamlessly to growing business needs, whether expanding across multiple departments, locations, or regions. Its cloud-based infrastructure allows for easy scaling without the need for costly hardware upgrades or lengthy implementation times. As our organisation grew, we were able to add new agents, channels, and features without disrupting operations, which significantly enhanced our flexibility. The platform's design supports both small-scale and enterprise-level operations, making it ideal for evolving businesses. Additionally, its capacity to handle increased interaction volumes without compromising performance ensures that customer service quality remains high, even during peak times. This flexibility and ease of scaling, combined with real-time analytics and automation capabilities, make it highly effective for growing organisations.
Because of the lack of local partnerships with South African telecoms companies, calls to South Africa is very expensive. This was not originally apparent when opening the Aircall account.
Not having the option to display a local South African number in the CLIP, means that people are not always eager to pick up the phone when they see an overseas number ringing.
The only positive impact has been the collaborative experience and being able to maintain a virtual office
Strategic Agility- Genesys Cloud CX has delivered both immediate cost benefits and long-term value through improved customer relationships, operational resilience, and administrative satisfaction.
Enhanced Customer Experience- With advanced analytics and personalized interactions, we’ve seen an improvement in routing to address customer needs.
Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency- The platform’s cloud-based architecture can eliminate on-premise infrastructure and maintenance in some cases.
