Solution is extremely agile and flexible. The new generation of containerized solution would be a game changer since it brings the ease of deployment and ability to get the innovations to a new total different place. I believe it is really hard to find in the competition who would have something similar or even close

The ease of use and file retention/retrieval is key. The adjustment from an e-mail-focused workflow to the RingCentral Contact Center was easier with the organization. Recall and search features mimic Outlook and allow me to quickly find what I’m looking for. RingCentral Contact Center is not ideal for communication with external partners, so we still have to rely on Outlook e-mails for that.

Pros

  • VHT as a stand alone model can be easily plugged into to the current call routing with minimal changes and it works like charm.
  • Platform SDKs are a powerful tool that help integrate with other third party solutions or to build custom made applications.
  • The whole routing solution is amazing . With user friendly composer, you have the option of building both VRUs and routing strategies. And, they are very easy to deploy.
  • The level of details for report customization is another strong point.

  • Reliability: Our previous service was prone to outages, RingCentral Contact Center has been rock solid as long as we've used it.
  • Integration: Our IT team was able to build a custom RingCentral Contact Center dashboard on our website for our salespeople to manage inbound/ outbound calling. From there we were able to send call data directly into activities in our ERP (Acumatica).
  • Ease of use: It works well whether in the office or WFH (which many employees do regularly.

Cons

  • Genesys needs to pick up the pace with application upgrades. We see more and more issues with Genesys applications falling behind the operating systems versions. We need more apps to be ready for the latest server OC models. There is a lag.
  • There seems to be constant unrest with the management application platform, CME, SCI, Genesys administrator, GAX, then GAX plugins, then a move away from plugins. We would like one stable management platform that encompasses ALL aspects of management within the contact center.
  • Real-time reporting deficiencies with Genesys pulse web. this application cannot live up to CCPulse with respect to flexibility of views. Pulse web was a plugin now it's not a plugin any longer. constant movement, we finally get pulse web plugin onto production, 6 months later these something supposedly better.

  • I would like to be able to text from our main office line rather than only my office direct line, so I can keep my direct line private
  • I wish it was easier for all users to be able to toggle between calls ringing at their desk phone and cell phone
  • It would be nice if the process to add other team member's numbers to our desk phone screen was easier

We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service

Usability

Overall, from a customer perspective and also an agent perspective, it is very easy to use Genesys Engage's platform. The Agent Desktop and Genesys WDE are good. Usability is high and I would consider it an easy to use product and easy to adopt from this perspective.

RingCentral Contact Center is not just only an app or platform which allows the company to manage the telephone calls, messaging functions, social media and emails, but also allows advanced features like the possibility of easy integration with other industrial systems, and customer/call analysis functions as well. It also supports and included with AI technology as well into some extent.

There's definitely room for improvement. I would have love to see the chat functionality work more frequently. The level of expertise has diminished over the years. I understand that this in part has to do with the number of new products that has been introduced, but should not be an excuse for the lack of readiness.

Good training, but on limited locations. You can almost only follow trainings in europ in the UK and in Germany. Uk location is relatively difficult to get to and on a exppensive location. The content of the training is good, supplied training material is okay, but sometimes a bit outdated. When you follow a training it is most likely because of a recent purchase which is uasually the latest version.

Interesting webinars on relevant topic are being provided regularly. Th e webinars a often provided by Genesys and hosted by a very experienced product owner. In many occasions a customer is invited to share his / her experiences and best practices. Webinars can be watched at a later time for your convenience.

It was a death march. We finally learned enough about the product to know that our vendor knew nothing and had done it wrong. We hired voice engineers and took over the project. We should have fired our vendor much earlier

For a similar contact center structure, I find Genesys products are faster to produce outcomes, and fast to respond (loading, changing screens...). However, in terms of user interface, I do prefer the way NICE did things there. Coming from an agent background, I find that the NICE agent interface is more visually appealing and offers more flexibility (parameters for agent exceptions).

RingCentral Contact Center's application is much more intuitive than Nextiva's application. It's also easier to configure. It also has a lot of functionality that Nextiva does not. For example, RingCentral will transcribe Voice mail messages for us, whereas Nextiva does not. RingCentral also sends us notifications when a customer sends us a text message, whereas Nextiva does not.

Scalability

The Interactive Intelligence SIP based contact center platform has broken through the barriers of "board based" technology to processor based limits on scalability. This means their CIC premise or cloud platform can be engineered to support agent counts into the thousands.

  • With RingCentral Contact Center we were able to connect with our customers. The feature that allows the call to be sent to the first available rep ensured that this happened.
  • Also, my favorite feature is the call recording and transcription feature. This allowed me to get the customer's emails without asking them to repeat if I missed them the first time. Hence, happier customers and more meetings.
  • RingCentral Contact Center also made it very easy to set up a mailbox for customers to leave messages and reassure them that they've connected with the right person.
