Most suited: Frequent duties can be automated. services can be improved by analyzing customer feedback. Load and Heavy tasks can be reduced. Less workforce is required. Less Suited: Specific product queries and their proper answers. When the user uses those words that are misspelled or have a long sentence it finds difficulty in giving them proper information.

We use Five9 as a tool to make and receive calls from various departments such as Customer Service, Underwriting, Claims, and others. 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. It's a good tool with an easy-to-use interface for new users.

In our case, it is well-suited for workday integration, which allows us to automate the entire workflow. However, we are still working on the O9 platform integration, which we feel is less appropriate, and integrating the workflow into the platform.

  • 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.

  • New and improved natural language processing yielding better results helps the assistants understand the intention behind the query.
  • Preserves context of communication, allowing the customers to establish inquiries on the website and continue on the mobile app without having extra informational input.
  • Intelligent conversations mean that complex paths that are branched based on the user's inputs allow for a much more natural flow of the conversation than fixed scripts.

Cons

  • Having enough conversational data to train the chatbot.
  • Really understanding intent.
  • Understanding emotion.

  • 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.

  • I think that it needs to be able to integrate better with the knowledge catalogs. It currently provides a default database, which isn't quite large enough for enterprise use. We can connect that then to an external source, but it'd be nice if we could able just to instantiate one straight away.

Usability

Since I deployed this solution end to end for my organisation, I would speak from my experience that since I was a newbie to this platform I took ample support from their team, their training resources. However, the product's UI/UX was simply very intuitive that it helped me to get a lot of hand-on practice on the product well. This helped me with the timely deployment of this solution.

overall usability is very great. User friendly interface for agents within the Salesforce with the engage button. Easy to go offline and online. Very good Integrations with Salesforce helps lot of clients that implemented Salesforce. As it is cloud based, agents can access it from anywhere. While the agent experience is goof, as a technical person it is hard to manage with the Five9 VCC and also the reporting User Interface is bad and slow when there are large amount of records.

With the growing use of AI and chatbots, it's very easy to use, and the conversational language makes it easier than keyword searches in a document. The contextual language processing is impressive. It's easy to integrate into our internal portal. The use of this tool would depend on each company's security and data sensitivity.

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.

We've rarely had to engage support, but they've always been prompt in responding and very attentive. Support experiences have been extremely positive (but we're mostly happy that we just don't have any cause to routinely need support in the first place!).

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.

ChatBot is more stable and enhanced as compared to other rivals which are new in this segment and also provides a lot of details which is missing in other products like report etc. Also, chatBot is more commonly used so support wise it is also great and you can find multiple examples on the internet and from your peers as well.

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

Make has more community of workflows to follow that have been redeveloped and are available for download. Selecting WxO is based on our trust level with IBM and the propositions of the Granite model being less biased, more business trained, and the ecosystem allowing for expansion with Assistant and Discovery.

  • By automating tasks that would otherwise require human intervention, organizations may achieve cost savings in terms of labor, especially for handling large volumes of routine inquiries.
  • Virtual assistants can handle a large number of simultaneous interactions, making them scalable to accommodate growing customer bases and increasing workloads without a linear increase in staffing.
