We have been able to use Genesys Voice AI conversation BOT to address customer standard queries like check upcoming appointment schedules, reschedule appointments, payment status, bill copy. All these use cases were handled by agents earlier and now this has been completely automated. We are now able use agents for complex tasks and provide standard services 24/7 which earlier had agent dependency.

I would recommend Nectar Desk if you are going to launch it across an entire organization. By launching for only one department, it has been extremely difficult to not have the connectivity we want across the entire company.

Pros
Genesys
  • Ease of call flow design - Architect tool is wonderful and easy to use.
  • Ease of API usage: Using native Genesys Cloud APIs, we can develop our own custom logic/solution.
  • The Archy tool - which help us to maintain CI/CD across our organization.

  • Customizing Multiple Ring Groups: Allows for different call routing options depending on what phone number is dialed by a caller
  • Agent Login Tracking & Analytics: I can see minute by minute details of my team's login status and better understand how they're using their time
  • IVR Set Up: I can set up and edit/change IVR settings with the click of a few buttons, it's super easy!
  • Call History Tracking: I can easily filter and view all calls for the day to see what was inbound vs outbound, how many calls were handled by each agent, how many calls were missed, how many were outside of business hours, what the dispositions for each call were, and MORE. The Call History analytics are GREAT.

Cons
Genesys
  • Improve the speed of implementation of the most popular ideas on the Ideas portal
  • Support teams can be slow and some issues can take a long time to resolve
  • Although documentation is generally good, new features are often under-documented or don't include real world examples.
  • Arbitrary limits on some components can make things an unnecessary hassle

  • When a caller becomes assigned to an agent, SMS notifications are only sent to that agent. This is difficult for our call center manager to monitor if the team is handling all SMS replies efficiently and effectively.
  • Because Nectar Desk is a chrome-based calling software, we are limited in accessing the platform. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this presented a challenge in making sure that all agents' at-home computers were capable of running the software.

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

Usability
Genesys
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.

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.

Support does indeed resolve the issue but they seem to be really slow and I have to stay on them to get my ticket handled. Everyone I have interacted with is very professional and pleasant. Other than being slow its been a good experience

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.

My Team was involved in the discussion before implementing the application. We had a whole walkthrough of this product and during the demo itself we were very impressed with type of service we were getting. The integration of the product into our system was very quick and seamless.

Alternatives Considered
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
Genesys
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.

Return on Investment
Genesys
  • 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.

  • As the marketing agency that implemented this software for a client, we have 100% insight into call performance. Our client previously throughout random numbers, was always guessing on his team's performance, and now we have actual insight into how the intake team is truly performing—we know 100% of the inbound calls they make, how many outbound calls are made in a day, and how much time is spent 'idle'. This has allowed our client to hire the appropriate number of call center staff based on actual data and has allowed us to shift our marketing budget to focus on driving the right callers.
