    Genesys
    Genesys Cloud CX is particularly well suited for organizations looking to consolidate customer interactions across multiple channels into a single platform. In our experience, it works very well for omnichannel customer service, especially when voice, digital channels, routing, reporting, and customer experience need to be managed together. The flexibility of its routing capabilities and the ability to integrate with other business systems are especially valuable for more complex customer journeys.

    LiveAgent is great for companies that want to help customers with their issues. It is also great for getting sales for our company. During our chats, if a customer is interested, we like to ask for the sale. It is too easy for the customers to say no. So it is nice that with LiveAgent, they have an automatic process where the customer can enter their item and address information and it is easy for our agents to get the sale.

    Pros
    Genesys
    • From an administrator point of view Genesys Cloud CX provides a drag & drop omni channel flow building option using Genesys Architect tool. The interface is very intuitive and provides flexible options to design call flows
    • Genesys Cloud CX has deep integration with Salesforce & ServiceNow
    • Genesys Cloud CX provides native Workforce Engagement Management. This reduces the dependency to unnecessarily procure products from other vendors for quality assurance auditing, screen recording or agent scheduling
    • We can also deploy BYOC (Brin Your Own Carrier) for telecom SIP trunk deployment. This is a big bonus when we want to reuse our existing DID's with our SIP trunk providers

    • Having the ability to transfer tickets or chats has proven useful when we are working with a customer who has a specific type of inquiry - perhaps a sales question or an employment request. We’ve found it helpful to have the ability to transfer the chat to the online agent best equipped to answer the inquiry so we are able to serve our customers to the highest standard and with an immediate response.
    • We find being able to add notes and labels to previous chats and tickets incredibly helpful in data collection and also in our ability to work as a dynamic team. By being able to sort our chats and tickets into an organized system that our company created, we can work cohesively to review old conversations for continuity, opportunities for growth, and with transparency between departments.

    Cons
    Genesys
    • Reporting - the removal of the basic reporting tab, which was available earlier. We can bring something like that back to Genesys CloudCX. Just have a standard out of box reports.
    • Log analysis: Difficulties sometimes arise when an issue cannot be resolved with the basic information available. We can enable a log analysis tool that collects data from multiple components over time and can be reviewed in case of issues or failures. Similar to logs available in Genesys Engage.
    • Last Routed Agent - We can bring back the LRA to Genesys cloud cx for voice as an option or a function that can be enabled at the Architect or Queue level. Which will help many customers as they have used it previously.

    • LA doesn't provide you SMS integration.
    • You cannot divert your phone call from your local carrier to LA agent directly. You need to get a third party number which is way much costly. Also, if you get a third party number to divert your calls from a local carrier to LA, then the callers have to wait more than the usual time in order to get them connected with the Customer Support Team.
    • WhatsApp Integration also unavailable.

    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

    I am giving this rating as Live Agent is a very good software that is essential to any small or big business that provides customer support services. It gives you the possibility to manage any of your clients issues, answer questions and keep a good relationship with them by providing quick solutions.

    Usability

    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 initial setup, onboarding and training is easy. The system provides 2 graphic version of interfaces in black or white default colors. I would appreciate, if there were more. Some of the setup forms are not correctly resized. Overall, I'm always able to find what I am looking for in LiveAgent.

    Reliability and Availability
    Genesys
    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.

    Performance
    Genesys
    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.

    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.

    Implementation was quick and when not counting a bug on our website, it took a couple hours. It was mostly done on our end or with the assistance of LiveAgent's live chat support team. We recommend to check out LiveAgent's tutorial videos on their youtube channel or browsing their knowledge base - we've almost always found answers to our queries there.

    Genesys
    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.

    Scalability
    Genesys
    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.

    Professional services are definitely much more experienced than the support teams, and the price for their services is very fair. I wish that the support team could help answer simple questions about work that the PSS team does, however, so that we do not have to use our SOW for simple Q&A emails.

    • For a product-based company like ours, we have existing Genesys customers who can use our product, as we have already integrated our product & solution into Genesys.
    • By viewing Genesys as a contact center, we generate numerous ideas about what features need to be implemented.
    • Genesys is the best choice for big, enterprise-level businesses as it can handle multiple calls simultaneously seamlessly.

    • Less expensive than having multiple individual email accounts.
    • LiveAgent has helped decrease our errors since it's more straightforward than sharing a traditional inbox with multiple team members.
    • Sometimes the emails sent from LiveAgent end up in our customer's spam/junk folder because the auto-generated alpha-numeric ticket looks suspicious.
