Zoom Contact Center helps businesses deliver prompt, accurate, and highly personalized customer experiences that drive loyalty. It includes intelligent self-service and routing, a unified communications and contact center, and video optimized high-touch engagements.
The Data table provided in Genesys cloud which is very useful, dynamic and easy of operations team on their day to day changes in menu prompts, priority, etc. With the routing methods we have, we can use preferred routing initially for our contact centre and if no suitable agents are available, we can expand the routing ring and can go wide and look for more suitable agents. These are some of the scenarios in which Genesys cloudCX came in handy.
Zoom Contact Center, like many other Contact Center platforms, is needed if you want very unique requirements that a Zoom Phone call queue cannot do. In my experience so far, there are very few things that Zoom Contact Center cannot do if you are trying to build a standardized contact center environment
The dashboards are fantastic because we can see if an agent isn't logged in or if there are a lot of customers waiting in the queues—we've never had that visibility before. We didn't have data to look back and see if we had enough staff to support the load. That helps us so much, especially when we're budgeting for the next Festival.
The callback function saved us during last year’s festival. We had a street-wide internet outage during one of our busiest periods. But, in the time it took to fix the issue, Zoom Contact Center lined up callbacks. It was all so smooth. We didn’t need to trawl through voicemails or miss any queries - we could return everyone’s call within 30 minutes.
Integration with our Zoom Phone configuration provides a seamless experience when transferring calls to those not on the Contact Centre. We can do a Warm Transfer, too, so it's a very professional experience.
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.
Too many bugs in logging, a consumer hangup may result in Overflow to disconnect, which is not even a behavior in our phone system; Zoom acknowledged the bug, took months to implement a fix, and it's still not fixed (TS0053591)
Logs are in two places, for instance, if a patient complains that they called 10x and no one called them back, we have to look at the logs in Zoom CC and Zoom Phone to get the full story of what happened. Concatenating log files is something I haven't done in at least 10 years, so strange that Zoom needs this.
Zoom Contact Center still has "bolt-on" feeling to it, needs to be more integrated—see logging issue above.
Reports are underwhelming and not easy to get to the data you need, which is different from the administration part of the contact center itself which is so fantastic. It feels like reports were designed by a different dev group, headed by someone who probably used to work at Mitel for years or somewhere where everything is cumbersome.
Zoom Glossary is large but still does not have all terms, which defeats the purpose of a glossary.
General Zoom support is now slow and underwhelming. It used to be fast and good, now they take forever and ask you the same questions multiple times and don't seem to fully understand answers. Feels like some McKinsey consultant decision from the 90s: ship support overseas to cheapen the cost and incentivize customers to pay for some higher tier of support where they will actually get support. I'd expect this from competitors, but disappointed to see it happen at Zoom. Our actual zoom support reps are very good, and this comment is about the general "contact Zoom support" inquiry form.
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.
First and foremost for our results, the omnichannel approach and ease of use on the internal side (agents, supervisors and administrators) have made adoption very simple, we have managed to reduce response times (SLA) and internal communication has become very fluid. We get good feedback from our clients for having implemented ZCC in the company to serve them.
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.
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
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.
The first engineer that we had work with our team was not able to grasp our needs. However, Genesys Cloud CX quickly replaced that person with an overqualified engineer who joined our implementation team because he wanted to support our work.
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 alignment. Five9 provides a reliable, scalable CCaaS with strong global redundancy and mature telephony, excelling in high‑volume voice‑centric operations. Overall, Genesys leads in advanced CX/AI, Webex in UC integration, and Five9 in voice resilience.
It is a good product that fits our needs, we considered using the Contact Center despite the fact of still lacking important capabilities (we think it is till s in its "toddler" age) because we see how rapidly Zoom builds their products and add functionality to it, and because we already are using Zoom Meetings, Phone and others, it just makes sense to use Contact Center because of the potential capabilities and integration; it just made sense, and so far so good, but only time will tell.
Genesys provides Licensing in 3 tier subscription types of licenses on top based on any business requirements then any sort of feature/functionality inclusion (or removal) is discussed openly. There are 2 types of billing models available which are "Named" and "Concurrent" based on the type of roles users will perform in Genesys Cloud CX environment (eg. Agent, Supervisor, Administrator, and Business Users) Also, the billing period/frequency starts on the actual day the platform is delivered.
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.
Strategic Agility- Genesys Cloud CX has delivered both immediate cost benefits and long-term value through improved customer relationships, operational resilience, and administrative satisfaction.
Enhanced Customer Experience- With advanced analytics and personalized interactions, we’ve seen an improvement in routing to address customer needs.
Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency- The platform’s cloud-based architecture can eliminate on-premise infrastructure and maintenance in some cases.
We were able to cut our communication costs significantly and gain features we could have only dreamed of prior.
The contact center platform is head and shoulders above some of their competitors. This allows our team to quickly assist our customers with their questions and concerns.
