NICE CXone Mpower offers a great suite of products and tools appropriate for contact centers. It is a one stop shop for all of the monitoring, scheduling, reporting, and quality tools a large or small contact center may need. It is very feature rich and has many components, some of which we haven't even grown to adopt yet but may in the near future.

Workday
Workday has solved many organizational needs we have from tracking time and attendance, performance and goals, compliance trainings, benefits and so much more. It is easy to adjust schedules, assign attendance points, run reports and more to keep up with employee performance. Being able to source new employees (in and out of the network) all within the same platform that we track time and benefits helps solve many needs in just one easy to use platform.

  • The tasks function is somewhat clunky, and its hard to see who the task is sent to next in order to follow up with them.
  • In-process referrals don't always show up in the "My Referrals" tab
  • Filters on tasks don't always work.

Nice made it possible for employees to work from anywhere with access to the internet, it made it possible to extract data from contacts in a very thorough way. In addition, the meticaes can be fully customized and the day-to-day monitoring of the operation is more visible.With nice, contacts with clients abroad became easier.

Usability
NICE Systems
The lack of written SOPs makes some features (WFM / Performance management) very difficult to use. The training provided by NICE is extensive, but it's hard to remember everything shared in the hour. We spend so much time on the platform just trying to figure out how to use the features; it would be much easier with written instructions and screenshots.

The UI is intimidating for a lot of people. You have to get used to where to click and search for specific information. What we have found that works is to have new hires sit with seasoned employees for tips and tricks on how to maneuver around in the system efficiently. It is important that new hires know from the start specific resources that they will need to access in using WFM daily and hone in on those skills and locations of data needed. Starting off, our experience shows that it's better to focus on the minimum tools and learn those well and build knowledge from there to make it less intimidating

NICE inContact CXone is available when you need it. I have been using it for about a year and I have never suffered any issues that caused my not to have access to the product. If there are updates, they must be downloaded and install in the background because I do not see them

Performance

NICE inContact CXone performs very well even on old computers that are limited in resources. I use a older computer with limited memory and it seems to handle NICE inContact CXone very well in most cases. There will be times when it acts up for whatever reason bust over ninety percent of the time.

Support Rating
NICE Systems
inContact only allows specific users to contact them for support. Even though I use the product daily and it accounts for a large amount of my workload, I still have to contact an authorized user to create an incident. These users are managers and their schedules are very busy. This can result in delays in incidents being opened and resolved.

In-Person Training

The In-person training was fine for a general overview. I think it would have been really helpful to have a review of pre-built reports and how to use them as tools.

We love the use of our new tools. However, NICE staff turnover was frustrating. We lost ground each time a new team took over. Some people were good some were not as much. Some people did great training while others were not as helpful

When it comes to this specific situation (cell centers) NICE definitely has an ADP beat. The analytics, scheduling, and forecasts are extremely well-tailored for this situation. ADP has a more comprehensive solution in my opinion - I feel their UI and mobile app are also more user-friendly. But in terms of performance management functionality, NICE has a more robust system and is able to create additional metrics if we need them When I used ADP there were no custom options available.

The only other tool I have used was paylocity. Paylocity is a great tool as well and is more user friendly, however it is not for as big of organizations as Workday is. I would say if you are under 1k employees go with Paylocity as it will be less expensive and has everything you need with a user friendly experience. Workday is great for larger orgs but doesn’t have as much of a user friendly experience

Scalability

I rated 10, because Nice CX one is very much functional. You can simply acess it by website Nice, in any navigator, desktop, notebook or mobile, so you can in a fast way run on every departament of the company.
