Google is not my favorite business, and they have a reputation for suddenly shutting services down. I migrated to OpenPhone from google voice because of this worry. However, after over a year of dealing with OpenPhone problems, I wish had just stayed with google voice.

OpenPhone is easier to use, and allows our own recordings to be uploaded for voicemails. Grasshopper is more expensive and harder to use.
Chose Quo
OpenPhone is just as good, if not better than all the big boys, and gives you premium features at no extra cost. You cannot beat their amazing price and if you give them a shot, you will be glad you did. Why pay $40-50/mo for a business line in 2022? The world has changed, get …

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.

If you have more than 2 people in your organization, then this will save you so much time. Delegation is the key to starting a business. Even when you're a 1 person show, being able to present to your user base the differentiation of options for client communications is critical. As a founder, feeling compelled to be always on is something I strive not to be. OpenPhone gives you that flexibility. I have found it to be less appropriate in complex HIPPA compliant areas, but that is it. OpenPhone really does seem to suit an open array of use cases.

Pros
  • Extensive API access to allow flexibility with the platform
  • Weekly updates to continuously improve the platform
  • Powerful Architect flows that are intuitive to build, but still powerful and flexible
  • Extensive integration with other applications, either through dedicated integrations or API hooks

  • It's great for texting.
  • It's great for making phone calls. You get a new, unique phone number and can text/call from phone or desktop.
  • UI is great and really intuitive.

Cons
  • There is a limit of 5 Audiohook monitor integrations for Genesys, which could have been more.
  • Genesys customer support could have been more proactive and helpful, similar to other major companies like Salesforce and AWS. However, whenever I raised a concern, in most cases, they would directly tell me it was a custom requirement, so I should post in the dev community or contact their Professional Services (PS) team.
  • In the Genesys Dev community, if you post any of your problems, it's unlikely that they will be noticed, and you will likely not receive a resolution to this issue. Moreover, if no one replies to you within 30 days, that post of yours will also be closed.

  • Call quality can be spotty on wifi if the connection is poor, but nothing they personally can do about that. 4G LTE is usually stronger and more stable.

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
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.

Because I think it's simple enough to use but could still use some adjustments. Some thing are maybe not as intuitive to me even though I am probably a mid power user? If I can recommend it, I would suggest you copy how Intercom is doing things, but this could be just personal and most people don't feel that way.

Reliability and Availability
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.

For me, there have been too many outages to rate this higher than "1 worst".

Performance
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.

I think the platform is buggy and confusing. There are numerous outages. And the call quality, according to my customers, is atrocious.

Support Rating
There seem to be so many pages and options for support - but none of them are very seamless and some are very hard to maneuver or manage. I would like to learn more about the product features and tutorials etc. - but have had a hard time finding appropriate content.
Read full review
In my experience, their support feels like the opposite of support. They send you in circles, never directly answer questions, provide vague suggestions with unwanted platitudes, and they often take days between responses to provide that. For me, it's a frustrating experience that leaves you with a net loss of time and energy versus before you reached out to them. In my opinion, you definitely don't get "support".

In-Person Training

Online Training
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.

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.

Intercom - not exactly the same type of product but still a messaging platform which is what we use OP for. OP is superior in that it's more focused. We only use it for texting and some calls. Braze - we used it before for promo texts, we found it more confusing, harder to navigate and price was higher as well if I remember correctly. Whatsapp - problem is that you can't reach all USA customers using it.

Scalability
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.

In my experience, I can't even scale up to sending messages from a single number because of their broken and messed up "trust registration" system.

Return on Investment
  • Our Idle time for agents decreased by up to 30% compared to the previous system. Agents who are idle and not accepting calls are placed in a not responding status, which is a significant addition to our idle time.
  • 35% of our customers are able to complete their queries in the IVR. Integration with Salesforce made this possible, as the data is retrieved directly from the platform and accessed in real time. This helped us reduce the Agents' workload and significantly increase revenue.
  • Gamification is a huge plus; our Agents are actively tracking the weekly scores and working toward them to achieve them.

  • User interface is easy to learn and use, so it saves time
  • Allows us to upload our own greeting recording for professionalism
