Zendesk Talk is call center software built on the Twilio cloud communication platform that integrates with the Zendesk Support ticketing system. This allows customer service teams to provide phone support from the same platform they use to manage all other channels.
I supported the PureConnect system before and felt the setting of the system is not as easy as the Genesys Cloud. Also the function of the Genesys Cloud is much stronger than the PureConnect . Finally, the PureConnect not have the using of Bot and AI which are currently very …
Genesys Cloud CX offered a high degree of connectivity within our existing framework. We were also assured by the lack of outages in the past, which brought us comfort that we will always be able to support our customers.
on the QA Feature, Genesys stacks like a 6 against Callminer based on our heavy dependency of data granularity and in depth speech analytics needs for reporting
I was not involved in the process of tech discovery and evaluation so cannot comment on other products that are knowledge bases. We have other tools that have knowledge bases such as D2L brightspace. It's an 'FAQ' tool that is in addition to the main features so is not a …
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 …
I think Genesys Cloud CX is superior to these products in basically every way, makes them seem very old fashioned immediately on first use. It does all that these products do combined, and more besides.
Genesys Cloud CX stands out among outdated call center platforms by allowing the ability to customize to your needs. When upgrading it was a no brainer to choose the best of the best. Genesys allowed us to combine our chat, email communication, and phones into one platform.
Before fully migrating to Genesys Cloud CX, we relied on Zendesk Talk and Chat as our primary contact for our customers to manage interactions. While we used Zendesk in our early stages and it goes well for us, but it did outgrew some capabilities. Unlike Genesys Cloud, we …
I don't think it can even compare. Genesys Cloud CX is a whole different level. The biggest advantage was that Genesys cares about its customers, regardless of size; it listens to feedback, encourages customers to get involved with its roadmap, and provides so many educational …
They are also capable of providing the services required in the market at the moment, unlike Genesys Cloud CX, which is an all-in-one, well-managed platform. Starting with open-source API documentation and the resource center, you get help in all forms, and learning is never …
While both are industry leaders, Genesys Cloud CX stands out for its superior ease of use and all-in-one integration, avoiding the "disjointed" feel often found in NICE's complex setup. We selected Genesys for its intuitive interface and significantly lower administrative …
Genesys Cloud CX offers the most mature all‑in‑one, cloud‑native microservices platform with strong AI, orchestration, and omni‑channel depth. Webex Contact Center is improving rapidly but remains relatively new, with strengths in Cisco ecosystem integration and enterprise UC …
There really is no comparison between Genesys Cloud CX and other vendors we considered. We worked with two other products and neither came close to offering the sophistication, end-user interface or reliability that Genesys offers.
Genesys provided top-level service and responsiveness. They go above and beyond constantly to ensure we are aware of new offerings and getting the most out of their services.
Genesys is vendor-agnostic product. Genesys integrates more flexibly with Microsoft Temas, Zoom and various CRM systems. Genesys is a much more robust in Agent Desktop, better managing human agent's workday, quality scoring and complex voice routing. Also, Genesys has a mature …
Genesys far outstrips Q Master, our previous Contact Centre technology which was outdated by decades. Genesys brings our contact centre needs into the 21st century allowing us to support our students in new ways previously inaccessible to us. The efficiency gains have been …
The major advantage Genesys has over these platforms is in its code nocode user interface. It empowers the end user to deliver most of the functionalities on their end without the dependency on the vendor. The app foundry is also vast with lots of reliable tools which can be …
It's natively built into the user experience, the others rely on outside apps to integrate into their platform. You can set up a Zendesk Talk account within minutes and have a phone number ready for customers to contact you.
Maintenance costs for ServiceNow are higher, so Zendesk Talk is a good option even if I think it could be improved in terms of integration with other apps/flows/systems.
Exotel has a fair advantage when it comes to telephony as it offers a wide range of products at a fraction of the price of Zendesk. But when it comes to premium content and ease of access. Zendesk takes away the trophy. We have been using this for a while now and clearly, it …
We were made aware of Zendesk Talk through good reviews from reputable sites. Zendesk Talk's ACD was very outstanding and this is what attracted us as this was what we needed. The other products mentioned they glitched a lot and caused multiple dropped calls.
Explanations behind switching to Zendesk: It comes up short on cutting-edge customization choices and this doesn't simply turn out for us. The given ticket that executive's arrangement presented by Zendesk is incredible, and it upholds the omnichannel commitment to clients. The …
Slack and Zoom phones cannot compare because they have no ticketing systems. Zendesk Talk was the only option we considered because we were already using Zendesk for our email ticketing with customer concerns. We then expanded to using Zendesk's chatbot and then the Zendesk …
Prior to using Zendesk Talk, we used standard hand held phones in the office. Zendesk Talk has made us 75% more productive and efficient and allowed us to reach a lot more customers to serve.
Zendesk Talk has been far more reliable and robust than Ring Central. We had a lot of unreliable instances with our old provider. We didn't have call recording before either.
Zendesk Talk has many of the features as the other phone systems I have used. My only reservation is their lack of focus on a feature that will allow their clients to remain PCI compliant.
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.
Zendesk Talk is a great partner that helps us in the customer care area by managing every type of contact with customers (both phone calls and emails). I know there is also the possibility to have integration with instant messaging apps (like messenger and WhatsApp but I have never used them in my experience). In my opinion, the best scenario for Zendesk Talk is represented by a context with a high amount of contacts/requests where a unique platform could be a help both on the external side (customers) and on the internal side (a lot of colleagues who are working in the same area and have to work in a coordinate way). For customers, they could benefit from tailor-made answers, also based on past contacts for the same topic, and avoid waiting times during phone calls, with an immediate follow-up. For internal work management, operators don't overlap in a single request, and even if the same operator is not available the one who manages the request later has complete visibility of the entire topic from the historical point of view. Last but not least, I think that Zendesk Talk helps a lot in the context in which the request's speed is a KPI to manage constantly.
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.
The lag on the phone is by far the most annoying thing with Zendesk talk due to the voice over IP.
Using the Reporting feature in Zendesk has never been a walk in the park. We have to customize a lot of fields and when something doesn't seem to add up, it at times feels like pulling teeth to get to the final answer of what went wrong.
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
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.
Everything about it works, as I have previously detailed. Coming from different companies and using other tools like Twilio or Aircall, those are VOIP tools that are built to be plugged into other tools, Zendesk Talk is natively built into Zendesk and feels correct in the user experience of Zendesk
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.
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.
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.
In our experience, we have had to go through many support people then ultimately getting frustrated enough to go directly to our point of contact who then doesn't always seem to be able to assist. We tend to get the support we need when it is escalated up to me and I reach out to our point of a contact person to express our frustration.
Genesys team that provide trainings are friendly and professional. They helped us to understand well the product and the functionalities. The training was detailed with use cases. At the end, we got a task to develop that ended with success and we got some Genesys rewards. It was amazing experience
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.
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.
Slack and Zoom phones cannot compare because they have no ticketing systems. Zendesk Talk was the only option we considered because we were already using Zendesk for our email ticketing with customer concerns. We then expanded to using Zendesk's chatbot and then the Zendesk Talk system to keep it all integrated and streamlined.
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.
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.
We were able to reduce global headcount by 20% in our call centers.
Allowing customers to leave voicemails creates the personal touch needed and really increases our customer connectivity score. We saw increases in our CSAT scores after the implementation of this solution.
Call handling time and case reopen rates both decreased. Y/y it decreased 18% and 60%.
