Considered Both Products
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.
Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google is a known product that many have used and we didn't see any other competitors having the edge that they do in their products. This is seen in their customer service when it comes to learning how to use the product and they have the resources to self-learn it.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Only IBM WATSON assistant has been the one we have used in the company, in fact, it was the first to use it because currently in the market there are not many options to use, and if there are they are not receiving enough publicity, so we have limited ourselves to google cloud …
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
I haven't used a different service, this is my first time using anything like this.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google Cloud Contact Center AI allows more versatility than NICE CXone. CXone also does not offer virtual agents. CXone is a little more robust in terms of handling large call volumes without a hiccup, but since Google is better able to route calls, volume increases are easily …
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
I have not used any others.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google cloud is the obvious choice over others because it is handier, has more features, more powerful tool to use in daily life. You can always take advantage of Google over others. Google Cloud can be synced with numerous other platforms and can be worked out easily without a …
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Earlier to this, we never had an AI solution in place for the contact center jobs, therefore, I do not have any software/platform to compare Contact Center AI.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Both are excellent but I like the integration and analytics with Google Cloud better. The reason the analytics are more intuitive and easier to manage and maintain. I like the integrated dashboards and I have to do less spreadsheet work it seems at times. But both platforms …
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google Cloud Contact Center AI was way better than the competitors we analyzed, especially the Dialogflow usage made our decision of going with Google Cloud Contact Center AI very easy.

User Testimonials
Five9Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

In a specific scenario in which I would not recommend it, it would be in a hospital, since the level of margin of error must be minimal, human lives are at risk and can cost dearly if Google cloud contact center AI fails, in the scenario in which I would recommend it, it would be in that of a legal company

Pros
  • 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.

  • Google Cloud Contact Center AI is based on the same foundation infrastructure and services as Google Assistant, therefore, it is robust and flexible. The APIs are very well built and documented as well. Any newbie can start using the service with a very little learning curve.
  • Seamless integrations are also a great add-on. Google makes sure that Contact Center AI service integrates well with leading customer service platforms which helps any user to use only the required functionalities from Contact Center AI and meanwhile use any other primary platform.
  • Robust documentation which is always alive and is updated within no time is of great help! Google makes sure its end customers know what to do where and when in clear plain text and any issues/ bugs are also documented.

Cons
  • 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.

  • It's still in the beginning phase of sentimental Analysis and more data sets can really help during tough conversations.
  • Automation can be made a little simpler and basic for anyone to be able to work on it.
  • Each instance of the software can have its own AI learning for a wider range of real time issues.

Robust product, great reliability and support.

We are happy with the implementation and functionality of the software and associated systems. In general, unless something better can replace this system we intend on continuing. We think the ease of systems implementation and integration adds value and substantiates the use and excellent functionality of the product and associated services.

Usability
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.
Read full review
Generally intuitive and easy to learn. I would like more guides but the learning curve is rather quick and makes the software rather an easy study for the average user. Generally, the support and functionality of the software make for a generally good outcome and easy implementation of the software and user experience.

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.

Support Rating
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.

Online Training
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.

Alternatives Considered
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.
