Broadvoice vs Genesys Cloud CX Formerly Genesys Cloud

Putting calls on park so they can be accessed anywhere in the offices. The system is so easy to learn for everyone involved. The customer service has been very good as well - someone does respond quickly when asked for help. I also like the fact that if I cannot understand the voicemail someone left, I can check my computer and hear it better.

Genesys cloud is well suited for situations where agents need to work globally, for example. The edge locations from AWS make it a very flexible environment for users who are located remotely. For companies that require hardware-based PBX systems for whatever reason, then Genesys cloud will not fit the solution.

• 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.

• Omnichannel contact center
• Integration with other systems to knit together technology seamlessly
• WFM and WEM suite is best in class and fully integrated to the product
• Extremely robust architecture in AWS that continues to evolve and improve to serve global clients

• Process for provisioning a new telephone can be time consuming
• Auto attendant text-to-voice options are limited and sound more robotic than some I've used
• Bits of information about telephone extensions/people are stored in multiple locations. Often I miss updating one piece and have to dig around for it a 2nd time. Not always found in intuitive places. (maybe provide links to related info? )

• DCM (e-mail tool) is a kind of system within a system. It requires logging in twice and it's not as stable as Genesys Cloud CX.
• Based on our worldwide operations we needed to split the markets within multiple divisions. These divisions are still giving us a hard time with daily operations. We have multi-skilled users which sometimes need access to multiple markets but if these markets are in different divisions, it also means that users will get access to all the markets within those divisions. This is not an acceptable thing from a security perspective.
• Internal chat - we tried to test if it would fit our needs but there were many things we couldn't filter. One of the main problems was that all the users could contact each other and this couldn't be filtered by team/market/site/division. It also showed the statuses of all the users which we saw as a data breach as other colleagues could see how long users are on productive/non-productive statuses.

Broadvoice is an ideal value. It's not the best possible IP based phone system but it's easily one of the best options if cost is a factor. We got a capable and easy to use product while lowering our costs, a total win-win.

Genesys Cloud CX is a solid product and deserves to be in the upper right quadrant in Gartner. They are true innovators in the customer experience space and based on the innovation taking place monthly, they will likely stay in this spot. The product gains new features every time you blink your eyes.

At first, it seemed "daunting" to use but that is very much the same with a lot of things that are new. Broadvoice supplies great Quick Sheets to main topics, such as Feature Codes, Flow Charts, User Guides, which are easy to read and follow. Once it is used often, it is easy to understand, follow, and make changes to fit your company

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.

We had a couple of times where there were application issues or unplanned outages, but they were resolved very quickly. We were never in the position where it was a total outage, which is very important.

The pages are loading quickly but not every time. There is a delay sometimes. About the integrations, everything is working as expected, there is no slow down.

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.

The in-person was done by phone and was GREAT!

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

Easy for even the most basic user.

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.

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.

The support engineer that I partnered with during the implementation was exceptional. Every element of the process was done together and the end result of the efforts to grow the knowledge to be able to hand over at the end enabled a pretty smooth transition.

Other companies have used other systems, and there has always seemed to be a disconnect. The communication system can end up being a nightmare and truly ruin the day/week/month when issues arise. We have had the benefit of Broadvoice, so that has not been the case for us

The Genesys Cloud platform is tightly knit in a consistent and easy-to-use UI, whereas others were often bolted together products that had been acquired, resulting in UI inconsistencies and limitations of data sharing. The AppFoundry capabilities enable the benefits of adding on more tools that still stick inside the Genesys window, which is a leg up on desktop-based applications.

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.

We were able to successfully implement Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) to multiple departments successfully with a range from low call volumes to very high.

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.

• We have pretty much cut our phone service bill in half compared to our previous provider.
• The reliability of the system has reduced downtime to null.
• Communication, communication, communication is a must for any organization. Broadvoice has met all our expectations plus. Well worth the investment.

• Efficiency has been vastly increased. The number of abandoned calls has been reduced upon switching to Genesys Cloud and customers are seeing this benefit as well as our agents.
• Cost of our call center is expected to be reduced upon full transition to Genesys Cloud. As this is one of our highest costs of business from a technology perspective, we are very happy to have found something that meets our needs but also reduces cost.
