    That was 3 years ago and They didn't have Ai at that time. But only reason why we did not choose Genesys was, it required Gateway systems set in our office which did not meet our BCP requirement

    This software is very useful to all companies that want to increase their sales through customer service or call centers for their sales. It has worked very well for us, being able to solve minor failures, it is one of the best-priced software, compared to everything it offers.

    We have a mix of Dialpad Support and regular Departments in Dialpad Support - we mostly use Dialpad Support for our high-volume area or areas we need to keep track of in more detail. In our smaller clinics, with few staff, Dialpad Support doesn't make sense to use to we have them setup as Departments instead.

    CIC is best suited for business models that rely on heavily leverage Data Integration especially one like ours that require real-time and high-speed data access for billing and customer integration. CIC is not well suited for small organizations < 50 where they are only answering phones in the course of doing business VS. the business is the phone.

    Pros
    DCDial
    • Payment IVR. Now, there is no need to call us every time when a client wants to make a payment. Now, they can do that on their own at any time.
    • Compliance Suite. DCDial is fully-compliant. Once we've set up our account, we don't have to worry about compliance anymore.
    • Payment Processing. DCDial offers lots of ways to collect payments and the most amazing thing is that they don't charge for payment processing features; they all are included in the plan.

    • Purely Software Based System: On Microsoft OS. It is an all software-based system making it easy to manage, integrate and interface with other systems
    • One Vendor: All modules, IVR, ACD, Dialer, WFM are from one vendor. So, no compatibility and latency issues at all.
    • Superb Notifier Service: You don't have to restart any process or service for a change to take effect.

    I have never had any issues with getting a problem resolved. The dialpad support team is responsive and extremely helpful. As busy as our business is getting, having the AI transcripts and call recordings aid us in being more task productive when helping patients. Other than the patient aspect of it, having no hardware maintenance is amazing

    The interface is only semi user-friendly on almost every front. Agent experience is lacking and we have found many limitations within the system. Workforce forecasting is not as robust as expected. Quality continues to be a struggle. Interaction searches are not robust.

    The application itself uses a hub and spoke model that can help isolate errors in one section of the application from the rest, creating a much more stable overall program. Of all of the outages that we've had with our contact center platform, I can count on one hand how often it was truly a Genesys issue rather than a network issue, server issue or issue with a platform relied upon for an integration (web services, db calls).

    Some of the client applications take a bit of time on initial load, but with the move towards web based applications that issue is alleviated. You can tell that effort really isn't putting into the desktop apps any longer and that the client development effort is being put into bringing Interaction Connect closer to feature parity with the desktop (and bringing wholly new features to Connect). As far as IVR operations, web service calls, database operations: they all operate reasonably.

    Some cases are resolved quickly others are taking longer and the reseller sometimes has to chase support several times and explain the issue seen several times. While being a direct customer before, I recognise this and it seems that when a case moves to another engineer they don’t read the previous case notes or don’t understand what has been done. This, from a customers perspective, slows down resolution times.

    The online training itself is good. You are provided resources and can self study to a certain point, but the pacing always felt off. Either snails pace or like trying to drink from a fire hose. I think this easily could have had to do with course material and my personal preparations, though. I would say my main gripe is that since the acquisition the team responsible for actually booking training is very unresponsive and often not knowledgeable about the courses they offer. Booking my last training was a real chore.

    Don't try to go the perfect solution as a first target. Work on answer the more needs with a simple solution. Then analyse and try again to answer the most needs with adding a bit if complexity only if require. No needs to customise straight from the beginning or deployment takes too long.

    We have evaluated CallFire, CallHub, CloudTalk, and PhoneBurner, but unlike DCDial, none of them offer Click Campaigns that require us to press each phone number manually (non-automated dialing) to dial a specific person and ensure compliance at the same time. As the debt collection agency, we have to make sure we are fully compliant.

    We looked at Aria, but we already had Dialpad Support and decided just to move forward with more features. I think the familiarity with the Dialpad app and the basic features made the addition of new features a much more seamless process rather than attempting to try dual software.

    Call Manager, you had to buy all the components that are out of the box for PureConnect. The licensing model is more expensive on the Cisco side vs the Genesys PureConnect side. Lastly was on the Cisco side since you have to connect/integrate all the components on the cisco side you have to have so many vendors to install those parts. This drives the cost up even more so it was not worth going that route for our organization.

    Genesys PureConnect's core and adjunct model allows for fairly easy growth in satellite locations via off site session managers, remote located media servers, remote content servers, etc to allow you to spread the infrastructure out while not pushing as much network traffic to your core data centers.

    • The voicemail system has allowed cases to be handled properly by client's being able to leave a message for the proper agent
