I would rather not mention other companies by name, but many service providers in this field do not have the functionality that Broadvoice offers, and certainly not the tech support to back it up.
Broadvoice was a much better value. We saved over 50% and the features and benefits are very similar. We did not lose anything in terms of capabilities and saved a lot of money. The team that took care of the installation was amazing and helpful and if I run into issues, …
Broadvoice onboarding blows away 8x8. We were left on our own to figure out how to setup everything. The auto attendant at 8x8 was also left for us to figure out so we never used it. Broadvoice guides you and actually does it for you!
I started with ATT openhand service and their support and onboarding were so bad. I couldn't get the call groups setup and talked to a different person all the time. The project was expensive and dug on forever. We ended up getting out of the contract. We were able to use …
There was no comparison for me. Google voice annoyed anyone calling in, was delayed in relaying missed calls and texts, and was not user friendly in my opinion. Broadvoice is leaps and bounds ahead for business purposes. It addresses each of those concerns and provides a …
We saw the reviews from other people and decided to go with Broadvoice. We had a lot of questions that got answered. They have a great service and provide great customer service. At this moment we only use a fraction of the services you provide but I'm sure in no time we will …
Bria did not have the near the capabilities that Broadvoice has to offer. Broadvoice is easy to use and you are able to make quick decisive decisions at ease. The transferring of calls is top notch!
Compared to other systems, add-ons were necessary or charges for more accessible features. Our current plan with Broadvoice has never changed and we have always had the same amount of options & services, so much we cannot use half of them yet, but hope to as we grow. Service …
Broadvoice is a supported hardware from our 3rd party IT provider. In addition, the cost of equipment and reoccurring monthly costs were very reasonable. I figured if all voice over IPs run off the same internet then why pay more.
Broadvoice is ideal for businesses that need a reliable, easy -to-use VoIP solution without the complexity of an all-encompassing communication suite. Its streamlined interface and simple feature set allow for faster onboarding and less training time. Broadvoice offers strong …
We used Comcast Business Voice Edge, but we all had desk phones. We have forced all of our employees to use virtual phones. The cost is so much less and you don't have to miss calls if you are working virtually.
We selected Broadvoice because it was the best to switch from google voice. Broadvoice is much better as it can be accessed on any computer or phone but you can choose to turn it on or off. The landline feature is also nice.
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 …
I would recommend Broadvoice if a business needs a variety of options for inbound and outbound communication. Examples would be insurance agencies, car dealerships -- just about any business that makes a lot of customer contacts per day. A small retail shop or dry cleaner would not experience the same level of customer engagement. In their case, a regular landline or a designated cell number would work just fine.
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.
Broadvoice is excellent for customizing/tailoring to a business's specific needs.
Tech Support is easy to reach, and provides consistent help.
Onboarding new customers is very thorough and supportive. Changing phone systems is overwhelming and time-consuming. Broadvoice makes it as easy as possible with clear expectations and fantastic training.
When changing users on the URL page there are some steps that can be a bit clunky based on the type of phone you're using.
Separating users devices into multiple locations inside the URL is nice but you're not able to move those users around if they do change spots in the company.
For some reason within the b-hive mobile app if I miss a call and then go into the app to check the call and exit the app I still show a notification icon constantly. It seems to be related to the the Chat portion of the app. If you go to that part of the app and refresh when you exit the app the notification icon is gone.
Our last phone system was very outdated and we were left not getting calls that we needed nor having a seamless way to change voicemail or to get voicemail if we were out of the office for longer periods of time. Broadvoice has erased these issues and has really made our agency more responsive.
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
Broadvoice has been a great investment so far! Its system allows you to easily handle multiple lines & provides you with many useful, easy-to-use, features. It delivers faxes right to your email inbox, how much easier can it get? Through their app, it enables you to easily determine if the call is business or personal related. And you are able to answer calls no matter where you are
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.
Any issues are usually overcome fairly quickly. We don't utilize reports offered by the system - we are a small company and the monitoring that would provide is just not something we would utilize.
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.
Laura H. our Service Coordinator was exceptionally helpful when the inevitable hiccups occurred along the way. She calmly sought out solutions that kept the project moving so that we could meet our move-out/move-in deadlines. Also, their 24/7 Business Support line is staffed with knowledgeable people that answer my questions quickly and accurately.
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
Overcame obstacles of everyone being in different places. Trainer was excellent (do not remember her name!). Open to all questions no matter how technical. The feedback from my colleagues were they were happy
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.
It was straightforward to set up. The phone was delivered prior to installation. The script and routing of calls were established prior to installation as well. The on-site technician installed each phone and offered training to anyone who asked. The main setup for hours, calls, and extensions was already set up via online meeting, making the phone install on-site a seamless experience.
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.
There was no comparison for me. Google Voice annoyed anyone calling in, was delayed in relaying missed calls and texts, and was not user friendly in my opinion. Broadvoice is leaps and bounds ahead for business purposes. It addresses each of those concerns and provides a solution that even an entry level professional could use.
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.
Sadly I can't quite gather any hard numbers since my use of the product don't extend into the admin level where I can see everything. I can say that since installing the phone at my desk though, I've been more reachable by other staff and therefore more present with current happenings in the workplace.
It took a while to get a line for my desk, so I can compare the before and after very clearly. Communication is like night and day, and any questions or problems other coworkers had that in the past they may have had to deal with themselves, they can now reliably reach me and have a convenient option to. This has improved the relationships between me and others at the workplace.
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.
