Genesys PureConnect was an omnichannel contact center platform that offered cloud-based or on-premise deployments. It featured a SIP-based architecture with VoIP capabilities, allowing companies to connect legacy voice systems and use existing phones. A legacy product, new users are encouraged to investigate Genesys Cloud.
DevRev is well suited for both multi-team and single-team environments, and teams can realize meaningful value even without having product, engineering, and support all onboarded at the same time. Its strength is clearest when used by customer-facing and delivery-adjacent teams that benefit from shared context and tighter feedback loops. However, DevRev is less appropriate out of the box for teams that sit outside those core functions, as the platform’s terminology and workflows are opinionated toward product, engineering, and support use cases. Without deeper custom object support and greater flexibility in redefining terms and processes, it has been challenging to demonstrate value to those teams and to help them move away from established tools and ways of working.

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.

The onboarding experience could be improved for teams that are not directly implementing DevRev, as they are often introduced to a powerful platform without enough guided context and can feel overwhelmed early on.
Creating and managing objects, dashboards, and other configurations would benefit from more robust desktop-based creation tools, as current workflows can feel constrained or unintuitive at scale. Use industry standard language and report building.
While regressions are rarely critical, the frequency of small UI issues, such as broken date selectors or text visibility problems caused by theming, creates unnecessary friction and frustration for users.

We are so embedded on Pure Connect that we like to progress with it. For instance, we are looking into ways to provide different solutions to our customers, help our business to succeed, and work in a better CX.
One of the biggest advantages is that all is in one platform.

DevRev provides strong support through a dedicated key account manager and tech team, making the experience seamless. There might be hurdles, but they get resolved with team support. The tool is also very easy to use, with the user able to customize and use various features as needed.

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).

I have no functionality, reliability, or speed concerns with DevRev. In the past, we raised a few latency issues that were fixed within days by the engineering team. The DevRev team were incredibly thankful for these being raised.

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.

I liked the setup of the whole class. The instructor knew the topic well enough to answer questions from entry level to a more advanced one.
Instructor encouraged participation of the whole class and was able to engage every one. Also provided "real live" examples so everyone can relate to it.

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.
While Freshdesk and Kapture are great tools, they lack advanced features such as agent assist and AI summarisation. Dedicated support at these companies also becomes an issue, as no dedicated team is allotted due to frequent changes. Also, these tools are not DIY kind and require external help for use and excellence.

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.
DevRev is incredibly flexible - while we started with a support and product move to the tool - Engineering, Finance, People, and our Account Management team quickly followed. The best part about these teams being in DevRev is tying everything back to the customer and being able to build intuitive, flexible workflows for any need.

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.
