Perfect for companies that have agents all over the place, e.g., different offices or WFH. Also good for companies that aren't big enough to have a "phone guy" as this platform allows IT to do the phone work as it doesn't require esoteric knowledge like other phone systems.

Pros
  • Standard omnichannel routing - multiple-media interactions are handled well.
  • WFM - agent scheduled, workload balancing, forecasting, etc.
  • 3rd Party Integrations - Easy integration with CRMs, DBs. ADs etc.
  • We are exploring Predictive Routing & finding is useful so far.
  • Reporting is also very useful & informative.
Read full review
  • Customer service - Whether for sales, setup, or technical assistant, their team is always patient, informed, and helpful.
  • Cutting Edge - Every month there are a plethora of new or enhanced features that are well thought, tested, and ready for implementing.
  • Stability - Our uptime is important to our clients. As a 24/7 365 day/year contact center, having confidence that Zoom's systems are up and running means our clients have trust in our abilities to service their calls.

Cons
  • Updates can come quickly and release notes can be missed
  • We use a large number of queues. It's hard to keep track as reporting seems to be limited to around 500 at a time
  • Dashboards aren't as adaptable as they could be
Read full review
  • The Teams dashboard for monitoring agents needs some customization options.
  • Friendly names, I would like to be able to name a number and when it rings you can see the name of the number.
  • Point flows at flows would be nice, instead of flows to queues only.

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

Usability
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.

First and foremost for our results, the omnichannel approach and ease of use on the internal side (agents, supervisors and administrators) have made adoption very simple, we have managed to reduce response times (SLA) and internal communication has become very fluid. We get good feedback from our clients for having implemented ZCC in the company to serve them.

Reliability and Availability
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.

Performance
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.

Online Training
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.

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.

Microsoft Teams was very difficult. Many third-party providers didn't understand the integration and capabilities of the systems. The Teams app is very clunky, and you can get very different capabilities and compatibility when using it between Mac and PC environments. Zoom had a local team that could help with the transition directly, which is very valuable

Scalability
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.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
Read full review
  • Intuitive, Easier and almost effortless to maintain.
  • Lesser Operational Expenses that the alternative we also have
  • We wish it has a better integration with Zoom Phone, in terms of channels integration (Voice and Chat) to quick identify callers.
  • It is missing "modular" programming to "reuse" Existing Flows and call them from other flows then return to the main flow.
  • It is missing the capability to compartmentalizing different teams/groups related to reporting, admin, and global parameters.
