Evolve IP Unified Communications vs. NiCE CXone

For small locations, it's perfect but maybe not for larger locations with more then 50 people. It would depend on your bandwidth availability and what type of redundancy you have in place.

NICE CXone Mpower offers a great suite of products and tools appropriate for contact centers. It is a one stop shop for all of the monitoring, scheduling, reporting, and quality tools a large or small contact center may need. It is very feature rich and has many components, some of which we haven't even grown to adopt yet but may in the near future.

• Workforce management is very easy to use
• Quality management allows evaluations to be objective
• Real time adherence allows me to know what everyone on the team is doing at a glance
• Reports allow us to evaluate the performance and helps us improve

Incentivized

• There are so many ways they need to improve. I can't list them all.
• First off, their tech support is the worst I've ever seen. They generally break something on at least half the tickets we submit. New accounts always have some kind of issue and it is amazing when one works 100%. Response times were terrible too. It could take 2-8 days just to get a new account setup.
• Reporting is inaccurate. Even trying to get it configured with their support team was a hassle and didn't work and wasn't even our data.
• Billing had mistakes often and there could be 3 SKUs for the same item. Same item number, description has the same words in a different order.
• Admin features are lacking. We can't even change the physical phone on an account. We can't create new accounts. Very limited options.
• The admin portal info is inaccurate. Some accounts show no phone associated even though they have one that is working on their account.
• There are times that randomly something stops working and not even the tier 1 support can fix it - a checkbox could "uncheck" itself magically and neither we nor the tier 1 tech can check the box again.
• When we ask to have licenses removed, they don't remove all the licenses. Then, when we re-use that DID (which is what the account is tied to) for a new user, the license applies to them - for instance, call recording. And we didn't ask for call recording on that new user.
• UC-One crashes all the time. It frustrates our users and has a few commonly seen issues.

Incentivized

• There can be changes in interface of the app, however it's still very good
• I would appreciete detailed web page with all necessary information, but when I need anything, the customer support is very quick and provide all the information
• Hardly to find any other :)

Nice made it possible for employees to work from anywhere with access to the internet, it made it possible to extract data from contacts in a very thorough way. In addition, the meticaes can be fully customized and the day-to-day monitoring of the operation is more visible.With nice, contacts with clients abroad became easier.

NICE CXone offers a very intuitive interface that is easy for our customers to understand in a short period of time and easy for us to administrate. All tools like Admin, ACD, Reporting, and Analytics are very user-friendly, and with little training, customers can reap the benefits of the tools.

NICE inContact CXone is available when you need it. I have been using it for about a year and I have never suffered any issues that caused my not to have access to the product. If there are updates, they must be downloaded and install in the background because I do not see them

NICE inContact CXone performs very well even on old computers that are limited in resources. I use a older computer with limited memory and it seems to handle NICE inContact CXone very well in most cases. There will be times when it acts up for whatever reason bust over ninety percent of the time.

Support? If I could do everything myself with the time I don't have, I would do it better than their support. I don't like saying it that way, but it is the truth. We hired someone from another company that also used Evolve IP and when they found out that is what we used here, he expressed all of the same complaints and stories that we had.

Incentivized

inContact only allows specific users to contact them for support. Even though I use the product daily and it accounts for a large amount of my workload, I still have to contact an authorized user to create an incident. These users are managers and their schedules are very busy. This can result in delays in incidents being opened and resolved.

The In-person training was fine for a general overview. I think it would have been really helpful to have a review of pre-built reports and how to use them as tools.

Incentivized

The training was very brief, teaching how to use the features for my role. Over time, I discovered many other features that were not explained. I believe that if it were done more completely, it would know the features earlier. An example of this is the productivity page, where I needed to measure together with my colleagues, to know the real information that the screen brought and, to my surprise, it was very useful.

We love the use of our new tools. However, NICE staff turnover was frustrating. We lost ground each time a new team took over. Some people were good some were not as much. Some people did great training while others were not as helpful

Incentivized

Evolve is worse than Dialpad, Vonage, RingCentral, Genesys, MS Teams, 8x8, and any other system I've dealt with. These mentioned all have better features, work well, are simple to use and admin, and some of them cost less.

When it comes to this specific situation (cell centers) NICE definitely has an ADP beat. The analytics, scheduling, and forecasts are extremely well-tailored for this situation. ADP has a more comprehensive solution in my opinion - I feel their UI and mobile app are also more user-friendly. But in terms of performance management functionality, NICE has a more robust system and is able to create additional metrics if we need them When I used ADP there were no custom options available.

The scalability is awesome because of the multiple uses it is able at performing for users. A large organization with several user can use this product in the same fashion that a smaller organization could. I believe the larger organization would see more benefits because of the users ability between communication coworkers

Incentivized

• Cost and time savings over supporting and maintaining on-premise PBX equipment.
• Increased flexibility for employees to stay connected from a variety of locations.
• Increased productivity in our phone room by allowing the use of a soft-client that can integrate into our workflows via features such as click-to-dial.

Incentivized

• WFM and net staffing bar have allowed us to see hour by hour if we are over or under-staffed. This keeps us on track with our SLAs.
• The ability to evaluate calls and have the reps review the evaluations has been a crucial part of keeping our KPI where it needs to be.
