Chose Claude
Anthropic Claude is just as good as any of the aforementioned platforms. We were using ChatGPT primarily before Claude. We have leaned more to Claude in recent months, but use other solutions to keep a balanced approach to research and analysis. We plan to keep Claude as a …
Five9
Chose Five9
As we have Salesforce for our agent's member support platform, Five9 has a very good integration with Salesforce compared to Talkdesk. With the iVR customization for our order placement and scripting for agents, we preferred Five9 over Talkdesk.
Also, for our enrollments, …
Chose Five9
Five9 has a much better integration with salesforce and allows contact center agents to be separate from back office staff that do not use the Five9 phone. Five9 allows us to route digital activity such as emails and texts just like we route calls. Five9 also had a …
Chose Five9
With Avaya Call Center Elite - Muti Channel is was competitor to Five9 which tried to push their on-prem omni channel approach. The reason it coudl not compete against Five9 was because it was not cloud based, was not flexible and added addional channels as an add on the CC …
Chose Five9
Five9 has a great learning curve, whether you're an admin, agent, or supervisor. Each role can be easily learned and mastered.
Cost was a major factor back when Five9 was the only stable and reliable contact center solution. But now they tend to be overpriced compared to Genesys …
Chose Five9
Five9 has way better features than RingCentral - Five9 has way better features including the Call script, software integration, and ability to manage outbound campaigns while RingCentral doesn't allow these features
Chose Five9
Five9 allows to call automatically to the leads in Hubspot, this wasn’t possible with Justcall.
Chose Five9
Initially selected Five9 but have since switched to RingCentral which has given us what we needed. Better CRM integration, simpler and in my opinion more robust reporting capabilities and the same omnichannel solution at a fraction of the cost.
Chose Five9
I currently use Gong.io at my current company, I really like the dashboard of Gong.
Chose Five9
We started evaluating Zendesk Talk when Five9 lost integration with Zendesk, as we use Zendesk as our primary CS database and issue tracker. However, Five9 offers better ROI than Zendesk Talk given we require unlimited minutes for our requirements, thus we continue with our …
Chose Five9
While we use Invoca and Leadspedia for more granular tracking and data, Five9 has always sort of been the end all be all. If it's in Five9, it's pretty concrete that the info in Five9 is the correct information. It doesn't matter which campaign a call came through, if it came …
Chose Five9
We recommend Five9, with 2 major reasons: Its flexibility on contract terms and base contacts are less restrictive.
Chose Five9
I have not used another dialer system other than Five9. Before Five9, we dialed our clients with lists and standard phone systems.
Chose Five9
We felt that Five9 was superior to Genesys PureCloud because of Five9's ability to better manage outbound dialing campaigns. Genesys PureCloud required automation rules to reset/refresh the list position which meant that it was impossible to keep up with our aggressive dialing …
Chose Five9
Five9 has some of the same features as competitors but offers other features that help users better complete their tasks. This could be tasks such as putting calls on hold, logging calls and reports, and multitasking on the system platform. Overall, Five9 feels very easy to use …
Chose Five9
We started with InContact and were very disappointed that you could not make changes without incurring costs for each program or project. Five9 allows us to adjust to any new clients needs without incurring costs.
Chose Five9
I've used RingCentral, LiveOps, and Sendbloom Contact in my sales career so far.

Five9 is more sophisticated and offers more customizable features than all the above products. Only RingCentral and Five9 have texting ability, but neither solution is perfect at threading …
Chose Five9
Used solutions from Cisco, VICI, SkySwitch in the past. Comparing cost, resources, and deployment time, Five9 wins for sure.
Chose Five9
I would use Five9 verses another application because it is user friendly. You can add users and manage them as your business grows, and have your stats easily accessible. The ability to use it remotely is a huge factor as well.
Chose Five9
Five9 blows Serenova out of the water. Serenova is an immature platform compared to Five9. Five9 provides many features that Serenova does not and is a much more stable platform, which is absolutely critical in our 24/7/365 environment.
Chose Five9
Better than the old ShoreTel Director we had prior to deploying Five9. But could be better!
Chose Five9
When we chose Five9, it was largely due to the research of features and functionality, plus hearing good things about it from other contact centers in our area.
One huge edge that Five9 has compared with other dialers...is that you don't pay per minute of talk time (unless it's …
Chose Five9
We looked at the differences and though it looked like a great piece of software, it was very expensive, and had a lot of features that we didn't need at the time. We may look back at them in the future, but right now Five9 suits our needs and we save a little money in the …
Chose Five9
I looked at 10 solutions and for the price along with the functionality, ease of use, ease of integration and new features such as agent desktop. I believe this solution provided the biggest bang for your buck.

User Testimonials
Anthropic ClaudeFive9
Likelihood to Recommend
Claude is well suited to help build documentation, strategic plans, and document analysis very well. I just recently had a client ask me for Terms & Conditions of a new service offering we are developing. I had Claude look at some existing artifacts we have already created and added some additional key points, to develop our T&C. Claude helped streamline the process in a few hours, that could have take several days to weeks to fine tune

very well suited for large number of enrollments, registrations by insurance companies. Also we recently implemented it for automating a order placement. Maybe not very well suited for live agent chat experience as there are limitations on texting, laggy performance in this area. I think its also hard to incorporate a payment system within the five9- Salesforce automation.

  • Inbound and outbound calls it process is so well.
  • The service is so good and they give very efficient support in customer need.
  • The calls we can do in Five9 include incoming, outgoing, voicemails and we can also send a note to a specific person. It's a very reliable mode of communication.

Cons
  • Claude does not create graphical images
  • Claude does not create Office type documents (Word, Excel, etc.)
  • I would like to see Claude with more integrations points
Read full review
  • Text. Texting is incredibly difficult on Five9. We've had issues with only some texts logging to Salesforce, issues with threading of text conversations, and issues with having Salesforce contact information appear on the text widget (knowing who you are texting, not just their phone number).
  • The interface to "pause" is challenging. There are not good reminders to our reps to remember to pause or log out of Five9. If you forget to log out, this can affect stats about who worked the longest hours that day - and it's hard to know who actually was active on the phones.
  • Inbound voicemails are too-easily hidden. It's challenging for a lot of our reps to remember to check their inbound voicemails because it is hard to access them in the Five9 widget.

Usability
Claude is a trusted platform from our perspective. We have been using this platform (paid version) more and more the past few months. The value returned is more than worth it. As more integrations points happen, we see Claude being a long term part of our ecosystem. Data creation, analysis, and assessments can be a tedious process. Claude delivers robust and efficient outcomes that help us for on higher level tasks.

I wish it was a 10. For the sake of a call center, it allows me to keep it simple for newer sales reps and just focus on basic KPI's. This is not an advanced CRM used for digital approaches. It is strictly a churn and burn call center CRM for me. It is a dialer.

The system's performance is great. Page loads quickly. Reports are generated quickly and sent to our email or FTP. The integration did not impact the performance of our other applications. We have not seen any drop in the performance of either applications since we performed the integration.

Five9's Customer Support team is also based in Manila Philippines, thus turnaround email response times for our reported issues are great for our requirements. Their CS agents also facilitate mobile calls to followup on outstanding issues and operate on a 24/7 schedule. We've also had experience working with the senior tech agents to investigate recurring issues to completion.

I took the certification course for administrator and also received some tips while working with the developer during implementation. The UI was very intuitive, so I was able to figure out how things worked when I configured the users, skills, campaigns, IVR scripts. I worked with the Five9 AI team to beta test Agent Assist.

Anthropic Claude is just as good as any of the aforementioned platforms. We were using ChatGPT primarily before Claude. We have leaned more to Claude in recent months, but use other solutions to keep a balanced approach to research and analysis. We plan to keep Claude as a core component of our tech stack moving forward, as it has proven value time and time again.

We use Five9 as a tool to make and receive calls from various departments such as Customer Care, Underwriting, Claims, and others. These departments have experienced issues primarily from supervisor consoles because they sometimes lose access without making significant changes to the admin console. Although it's a tool that has helped us complete various tasks to contact our customers, it has also allowed us to replace Zoom Phone, as it makes it easier to assign new contact numbers to agents, while Zoom Phone only allows reusing numbers.

A good tool with an easy interface for new users.

They need a more minimalist look.

They need to improve the supervisor console because it's very basic.

New agents aren't receiving calls from previous agents because they don't reuse numbers.

The user group license is cheaper than the Zoom Phone license, which allows for a better ROI.

It was very easy to add additional licenses. Once we placed the order, it was activated the following day. Since it's web-based, it's very quick to deploy across multiple sites.

Return on Investment
  • ROI is immediate in the consulting space. We draft documents for clients often and have the ability to produce exponential output with Claude.
  • Claude has allowed us to develop HTML and java code based on our requirements for a client. It has also helped identify bad code and shortened our development lifecycle
  • Claude has turned into a value added platform that we rely on to verify information and provide suggestions. We look at Claude as a strategic technology partner
Read full review
  • ROI was not as anticipated due to lacking reporting functionality - Negative
  • Allowed us to develop a geographically dispersed call center workforce in response to the pandemic - Positive
  • Provided true omnichannel capability that we lacked in the past (Voice/Voicemail/Chat). Positive
  • CRM integration (with Salesforce) was not as expected. Negative
  • Bang for the Buck just was not where it needed to be. High cost solution. Negative.
