[We like Avaya Experience Platform] because of the features and pricing. The features provided are quite amazing and new and also as compared to other vendors it is far better. Also, the pricing for this product as compared to others is very cost-effective. One must [choose] …
We get the good omnichannel experience and fast implementation, Webex phone features and also cost effective solution.Genesys WEM/WFO is very good and its helps business for the forcasting and enabling the shift plans as well.
Compared to avaya, Genesys Cloud CX was able to give us better way to connect to customers. It also gave the customers an option to call back which was not there on avaya. The audio clarity is better in avaya. The call logs were also stored in Genesys Cloud CX which wasn't the …
Genesys Cloud is a more mature solution than the other we evaluated, and the company shows a stronger product evolution strategy. The number [of] concurrent uses in the platform shows scalability, resilience, and makes us feel more comfortable. The appfoundry also is a …
The Genesys Cloud CX platform was chosen because it has a wider range of possibilities in the cloud, not requiring client installations on agents' machines. This was a premise in the platform change, and the one that best met the business requirements was Genesys Cloud CX.
The variety of resources and the ease of integration with other products was a decisive factor when choosing the tool for our contact center. The ease of expanding resources was also a deciding factor when choosing. Finally, the price per license and the ability to obtain …
For the money and ease of use, Genesys is top notch. I think they lack in integrations against some others. From a metrics perceptive, Genesys Cloud provides a very easy to use system for non-technical leaders. You can generate the reports you need quickly, and with little need …
The Avaya Experience Platform is well suited to allow remote working for call center agents. Staff can log in and work from anywhere using Chrome and their user credentials. The technical issues and lack of some features have caused some frustration for our staff and made it difficult to get buy-in for this product across all call center groups. This is difficult because a solution like this is intended to make their work more efficient as opposed to causing frustration.
With telephony, I believe that Genesys Cloud CX is ahead of its class and can provide a streamlined approach to call routing and efficiency. I believe that the platform is more than capable in handling telephony services for operations. The reporting and line of sight to real time reporting is also impressive. Having that type of availability to supervisors can be game changing. However, the email and workitems use cases are very far behind. If your business relies on email then it will need to come up with out of the box solutions for everyday use.
One are for improvement for Avaya is the ability to operate behind the VPN. For the virtual employee, this is an issue as we are unable to use it behind the VPN and it must be launched from the remote desktop.
The color scheme could definitely use some updating. The charcoal gray background of Avaya's windows, coupled with the black font is not very contrasting. I have used Avaya for years and would love to see an update as to its color scheme to better fit the virtual employee.
Avaya could also improve the way an employee moves within the program by titling the icons seen or expanding the Avaya window to allow for a better understanding of what each con does. For example, the Work History window would go unnoticed, had I not been playing with the software one day. These little items are unknown to many professionals in my industry as they sit in the window with no explanation.
We can see the bot and the digital side is growing at the moment, but there are still a couple of gaps that we think about. So as I say, every customer comes through our bot, but we don't have an easy way of exporting what they're actually telling us. We can see a snippet throughout the day and we can retrieve, I believe, 250 of the most recent things, but we get about 3,000 calls a day. It's a snapshot of what we're actually getting. It's the analytics piece that we'd like to see enhanced a bit.
I am really not the decision maker on this subject but given the cost of the investment in Avaya, I do not see the company not renewing the use of Avaya. The new licensing model no longer requires expensive upgrades to stay current with new features added to the system and really helps with the cost of investment.
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
Very Easy to use and Intuitive. Reporting and Graphical user inferface suport the latest browsers and that fact it integrated and complements existing customer experience platform make it easy to bring over into the environment. Finally, the fact it is all in the cloud, no issues running updates, upgrades, or things of that nature that would slow the service.
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.
I give it this rating because the support services of Avaya have proven to be reliable when needed. Great feedback for our queries has always been received from the support agents. 24/7 availability of support, which is very essential as our Call Center department also functions this way, therefore, the knowledge and technical support we require is always available to us.
Support does indeed resolve the issue but they seem to be really slow and I have to stay on them to get my ticket handled. Everyone I have interacted with is very professional and pleasant. Other than being slow its been a good experience
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
I have taken the preparatory course for Genesys Cloud Certification. I must say that it is a good training for administrators and analysts. The bibliography is very clear and is easy to identify the topics, which are conveniently separated. It is, in my opinion, mandatory for those who want to exercise the position of Genesys Cloud platform administrators.
We had a complicated implementation because of the requirements around our routing. I recommend that you allow plenty of time for design and testing if you have complicated requirements. We had to push our implementation out several times to make sure it was done properly and still I think some issues were missed, but since fixed
Switched from Polycom to Avaya, although polycom worked well there were too many reoccuring connectivity issues and the turn around time for solving them was also too long. Avaya has fewer connectivity problems and their support is much better too. Pricing wise they were similar so we didn't have much to lose.
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 its competitors.
Genesys provides Licensing in 3 tier subscription types of licenses on top based on any business requirements then any sort of feature/functionality inclusion (or removal) is discussed openly. There are 2 types of billing models available which are "Named" and "Concurrent" based on the type of roles users will perform in Genesys Cloud CX environment (eg. Agent, Supervisor, Administrator, and Business Users) Also, the billing period/frequency starts on the actual day the platform is delivered.
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.
Professional services are definitely much more experienced than the support teams, and the price for their services is very fair. I wish that the support team could help answer simple questions about work that the PSS team does, however, so that we do not have to use our SOW for simple Q&A emails.
Because the platform already has all the information on the customer, and every interaction within it, it already brings us a return on investment because we do not have to deploy other legacy systems. For example, for you to monitor calls or interactions, everything is already on the same platform. It would be an extra cost if you had to have another CRM behind Genesys. In this case, Genesys Cloud CX already embeds all the solutions in one.
