    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.

    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

    • The touchpad makes it extremely easy to join or start conference calls with a single pushbutton.
    • The Lifesize solution is affordable and has been extremely reliable for our video conference calls.
    • Camera quality is great and provides clear video for our organization.
    • The pan/tilt/zoom features are very helpful to focus in on specific people or items during a training or demonstration.

    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.

    • Lack of features or options to integrate with other solutions
    • Audio was just ok. If it was a meeting with more than 3-4 people, it seemed it was too much
    • I had a hard time with support. They were not very responsive and felt like an up-hill battle at times.

    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

    Other than the HIPAA compliance, we have no compelling reason to retain LifeSize when we can already pay for similar services included with our UCaaS service. Our UCaaS vendor, Fuze, includes video conferencing with the VoIP services via single, integrated client software package. Additional limitations include minimal implementation assistance, training service, training materials and assistance driving internal adoption. Issues with slow speed for desktop sharing and audio quality make the technical aspects of Lifesize inferior to competitors.

    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.

    Overall experience with Lifesize Video Conferencing has been great. While it serves it's basic purpose of allowing smooth video/audio meetings of people located at different places with option of screen sharing/chatting/ recording, what add to it's pros are it's accessibility from various platforms, flexibility to switch to a listen only mode in case of network issues and ease of operation.

    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.

    Since we are an educational institution we not only have scheduled classes which must be available, but we have staff members in a variety of areas ranging from recruiting and admissions to advancement and the President's office who need to connect with students, alumni and other interest groups, often at odd hours. I have not, since using Lifesize had anyone complain of not being able to connect

    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.

    Lifesize is an amazing platform for VC. However, it is a costly solution for any scaling startup. However, implementation and user acceptability was fairly easy and worth the additional spend. Quality has always been on point and support has always taken care of us. Our account manager also ensured a seamless transition process for Google Hangouts. Will go with this solution again at any other organization.

    Support has been decent throughout our use of Lifesize Video Conferencing. There were times we needed to make changes, customizations and additions to the application which took a little longer than expected. Overall the support team for Lifesize was very responsive to our requests. When we experienced issues with the application they were resolved to our expectations.

    Sensus was really helpful in the initial setup and training of our technical Support Team. Sensus gave us training on site so that it would be our own equipment that was set up. Then the in house tech team took over to train other users who would be using the system. When needed the Sensus and Lifesize tech support were really helpful in trouble shooting or guiding us through any difficulty.

    Online Training
    Genesys
    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.

    I gave this rating because Lifesize's website offers multiple quality videos that shows you exactly how the software works. The videos are divided into different categories which makes searching for a video fairly simple! If for some reason you have a question not answered in one of the how-tos you can always contact support. Excellent product, excellent service!

    Great for companies that need to accomplish multiple things at once while at different places. From our experience, broadcasting news is most favorable considering the level of excellence you get with the product plus the affordability.

    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.

    When compared to Zoom, one of the massive benefits that Lifesize brings is total peace of mind with security. Call encryption is part of the core in Lifesize and not an optional feature as in Zoom. I don't know about you, but every conversation can contain private and confidential information, so protecting me, my team, and my customers is totally covered with Lifesize! When compared with other providers, the quality of the video and lip sync on Lifesize is simply flawless. With the ability to deliver a call at 4k ultra high definition at 60 frames per second, the platform is simply awesome! Zoom is only 720p and the data share is only 5 frames per second. Zoom is simply substandard when compared to Lifesize. We often speak with clients who are using Teams or Skype for Business, but when you compare the video and audio quality with that achieved by Lifesize, they simply do not match up. If you want excellent quality video and ultra-sharp audio, then Lifesize is the only way to go!

    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.

You can easily and instantly create meetings and add users both in your organization and out without any difficulty.

    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.
