Genesys Cloud CX (formerly PureCloud, Genesys Cloud) is a contact center application optimized for automatic call distribution, interactive voice response, email, social media, chat, and text/SMS. It is also a VoIP interconnect service provider.
I have worked with Avaya's suite of products, and in this Cisco VoIP PBX system's review I have mentioned a couple of times the integration with other/different systems or platforms, and my experience with Avaya's products left me the feeling of a bunch of products pinned …

I have used Avaya VoIP PBX, but I don't see that is being used more nowadays, because Cisco has been upgrading their VoIP PBX with enhanced features. Can not say Avaya VoIP PBX is bad, but if I compare Cisco VoIP PBX with Avaya VoIP PBX, I feel Cisco VoIP PBX would have the …
I supported the PureConnect system before and felt the setting of the system is not as easy as the Genesys Cloud. Also the function of the Genesys Cloud is much stronger than the PureConnect . Finally, the PureConnect not have the using of Bot and AI which are currently very …
Genesys Cloud CX offered a high degree of connectivity within our existing framework. We were also assured by the lack of outages in the past, which brought us comfort that we will always be able to support our customers.
on the QA Feature, Genesys stacks like a 6 against Callminer based on our heavy dependency of data granularity and in depth speech analytics needs for reporting
I was not involved in the process of tech discovery and evaluation so cannot comment on other products that are knowledge bases. We have other tools that have knowledge bases such as D2L brightspace. It's an 'FAQ' tool that is in addition to the main features so is not a …
Genesys Cloud CX is much easier to manage than PureConnect - all from one system rather than needing separate components to install and validate. The ease of use when utilising all of the functionality really brings us to present day technology. Where it falls down is in its …
I think Genesys Cloud CX is superior to these products in basically every way, makes them seem very old fashioned immediately on first use. It does all that these products do combined, and more besides.
Genesys Cloud CX stands out among outdated call center platforms by allowing the ability to customize to your needs. When upgrading it was a no brainer to choose the best of the best. Genesys allowed us to combine our chat, email communication, and phones into one platform.
Before fully migrating to Genesys Cloud CX, we relied on Zendesk Talk and Chat as our primary contact for our customers to manage interactions. While we used Zendesk in our early stages and it goes well for us, but it did outgrew some capabilities. Unlike Genesys Cloud, we …
I don't think it can even compare. Genesys Cloud CX is a whole different level. The biggest advantage was that Genesys cares about its customers, regardless of size; it listens to feedback, encourages customers to get involved with its roadmap, and provides so many educational …
They are also capable of providing the services required in the market at the moment, unlike Genesys Cloud CX, which is an all-in-one, well-managed platform. Starting with open-source API documentation and the resource center, you get help in all forms, and learning is never …
While both are industry leaders, Genesys Cloud CX stands out for its superior ease of use and all-in-one integration, avoiding the "disjointed" feel often found in NICE's complex setup. We selected Genesys for its intuitive interface and significantly lower administrative …
Genesys Cloud CX offers the most mature all‑in‑one, cloud‑native microservices platform with strong AI, orchestration, and omni‑channel depth. Webex Contact Center is improving rapidly but remains relatively new, with strengths in Cisco ecosystem integration and enterprise UC …
There really is no comparison between Genesys Cloud CX and other vendors we considered. We worked with two other products and neither came close to offering the sophistication, end-user interface or reliability that Genesys offers.
Genesys provided top-level service and responsiveness. They go above and beyond constantly to ensure we are aware of new offerings and getting the most out of their services.
Genesys is vendor-agnostic product. Genesys integrates more flexibly with Microsoft Temas, Zoom and various CRM systems. Genesys is a much more robust in Agent Desktop, better managing human agent's workday, quality scoring and complex voice routing. Also, Genesys has a mature …
Genesys far outstrips Q Master, our previous Contact Centre technology which was outdated by decades. Genesys brings our contact centre needs into the 21st century allowing us to support our students in new ways previously inaccessible to us. The efficiency gains have been …
The major advantage Genesys has over these platforms is in its code nocode user interface. It empowers the end user to deliver most of the functionalities on their end without the dependency on the vendor. The app foundry is also vast with lots of reliable tools which can be …
I think it would have been better to use a real hardphone at the time I was working at the company. Cisco never managed to work and IT was struggling with it. The UI was also terrible in my experience, the buttons didn't display so we have to guess if something was clickable or not. The window was also very small, I don't remember having the possibility to have it bigger, but if so, this would look terrible seeing at the very old interface.
We have been able to use Genesys Voice AI conversation BOT to address customer standard queries like check upcoming appointment schedules, reschedule appointments, payment status, bill copy. All these use cases were handled by agents earlier and now this has been completely automated. We are now able use agents for complex tasks and provide standard services 24/7 which earlier had agent dependency.
As I have been working on Cisco VoIP PBX for the last 6 years, whenever there is any slackness, Cisco corrects it by bringing the next version of the product.
The only thing I believe can be improved is the log structure, while troubleshooting the issue, logs are a little cryptic, they take a little bit more time to go through.
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
All main features is very easy to access and use, only pressing a button or two (when you need to page up or page down the features set!) in the desk phone or a click of the mouse to place a call, start a chat, video call or a meeting. Very straight forward.
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.
Cisco offers online instruction on the use of the VoIP but it has to be sought out. Likely, the do offer additional support but this is managed by our IT department so it is difficult to determine just how accessible Cisco has been regarding the implementation and ongoing support for this product.
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.
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
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.
Cisco has the most stable and reliable solution in our comparison with other vendors. The way Cisco handles the redundancy of the system makes our communications experience zero interruption problems, and that was very different from the other vendors we used before deciding to migrate to Cisco VoIP PBX. Another good point was the fast and easy implementation. Only two days were necessary to bring all systems up with all integrations we have (billing, AD, and MSFT Teams).
Genesys Cloud CX is much easier to manage than PureConnect - all from one system rather than needing separate components to install and validate. The ease of use when utilising all of the functionality really brings us to present day technology. Where it falls down is in its Outbound systems, currently we are still using pureconnect as an outbound platform and shortfalls in the Cloud CX system has meant we must look elsewhere for our future operations.
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.
Can't provide the loved hard numbers regarding the ROI, but the flexibility from the business point of view regarding a rapid implementation of a new branch or even a headquarter, is a benefit that any solid company should aspire to have these days, and there aren't many options with these capabilities out there.
Our Idle time for agents decreased by up to 30% compared to the previous system. Agents who are idle and not accepting calls are placed in a not responding status, which is a significant addition to our idle time.
35% of our customers are able to complete their queries in the IVR. Integration with Salesforce made this possible, as the data is retrieved directly from the platform and accessed in real time. This helped us reduce the Agents' workload and significantly increase revenue.
Gamification is a huge plus; our Agents are actively tracking the weekly scores and working toward them to achieve them.
