    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.

    Wdesk is best suited for companies with demanding SEC filings and documents, with multiple revisions due to auditor/counsel review, and where financial reporting is extremely manual. Wdesk really helps take out the potential errors out of extremely manual processes, and helps automate regular financial reporting by allowing companies to link financial information and build customized flows of their information into financial statements and other documents (such as presentations or other internal reporting).

    Pros
    Five9
    • 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.

    • The biggest strength of the program for our team is that multiple users can work in the document at the same time. Multiple users can be in the program updating financial statements, footnotes, MD&A - all without stepping on each other's toes.
    • Rolling forward the documents from one period to the next is pretty simple. Links to source documents are maintained and new ones can be added without much hassle.
    • Edits and changes can be made right up until the last minute before filing. There is no waiting period or pencils-down period unless we enforce one ourselves - the Financial Reporting team is in control of the timing of our filings.

    Cons
    Five9
    • 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.

    • The automation could be better. A lot of mass updates are done manually.
    • Sometimes the system has connection issues and certain functions are down.
    • The customer service could be more proactive to provide regular training and sharing updates on the software.
    • Customer service could be better to help process the mass updates in a timely fashion.

    Usability
    Five9
    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.

    Overall it's a good-to-go product because of its features. It's easy to set up, meets requirements, has quality support, etc. So far, it has been working quite well for me, and I wish to continue using it for as long as it meets my requirements.

    Performance

    The system's performance is great. Page loads quickly. Reports are generated quickly and sent to our email or FTP. The integration did not impact the performance of our other applications. We have not seen any drop in the performance of either applications since we performed the integration.

    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.

    Workiva's technical support is impeccable and undoubtedly one of the best. The times we needed them, they were super quick and willing to help. It works 24 hours a day, and there will always be someone to help with doubts or technical problems regarding the tool.

    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.

    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

    We moved from a third party filer to doing it in house. Have seen demos of products like Active Disclosure, which has come a long way from the beta version I saw and but we are not too far gone with Wdesk for us to evaluate other products. When we first signed up with Webfilings, (former name of Workiva), there were no viable products in the market. I had seen an Oracle product and a beta version of Active Disclosure. It was not hard to see the ease and intuitive-screens, to guide one through the filing process. The excel-like spreadsheets were an added bonus.

    It was very easy to add additional licenses. Once we placed the order, it was activated the following day. Since it's web-based, it's very quick to deploy across multiple sites.

    Return on Investment
    Five9
    • Cost savings: Five9 replaced a premise-based outbound dialer and a different virtual call center solution for inbound.
    • Cost savings: Five9's voice over IP is less expensive than the land lines we were using.
    • Cost savings: Five9 requires significantly less management than our previous solutions.

    • We spend less than we used to with a traditional printer.
    • We have been able to do turn-on-a-dime equity offerings with last minute changes and still file on time.
    • Inviting external legal into the platform has helped with communication but we actually suspect they spend MORE time (and billing) on our documents than they used to just simply because it's so easy to get at them anytime they want.
