Genesys
I think the platform's flexibility allows it to be easily expanded and suited to a variety of uses and sectors. The way the services are set up works well together and also allows you to bring in your own solutions as needed. It is very easy to piece together a solution, whether it is all Genesys solutions or a mix of different pieces. At the end of the day, Genesys is a good system to build on.

Cons

Genesys
  • There is a limit of 5 Audiohook monitor integrations for Genesys, which could have been more.
  • Genesys customer support could have been more proactive and helpful, similar to other major companies like Salesforce and AWS. However, whenever I raised a concern, in most cases, they would directly tell me it was a custom requirement, so I should post in the dev community or contact their Professional Services (PS) team.
  • In the Genesys Dev community, if you post any of your problems, it's unlikely that they will be noticed, and you will likely not receive a resolution to this issue. Moreover, if no one replies to you within 30 days, that post of yours will also be closed.

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

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.

Genesys
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

Genesys
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.

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

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.

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.

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 in Genesys Cloud CX provided a full view of the conversation and allow for a better understanding of the customer journey.

Scalability
Cerence, Inc

Genesys
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.
