It delivers a more conversational kind of approach which makes customers comfortable.

Best CRM tool to have it.
Five9 is the best CRM tool we can use in business areas. It is the primary source for communication in or out of the organization. It gives a very user-friendly experience. Using Five9 as a newbie on the path for any business is the communication between clients or customers. Five9 helped a lot to get inbound calls and outbound calls and get in touch with the progress of the business needs.
- Inbound and outbound calls it process is so well.
- The service is so good and they give very efficient support in customer need.
- The calls we can do in Five9 include incoming, outgoing, voicemails and we can also send a note to a specific person. It's a very reliable mode of communication.
- Sometimes Five9 is inconsistent with the quality of the calls. It can be hard to hear the calls because of poor quality.
- The UI Five9 provides should be more singular in handling rather than opening multiple tabs for every feature. It must be compacted on a single screen.
- The calls we connect must have an attached screen just like a keypad so we can take notes as well as attend the calls.

Easy way to connect.
There is no doubt that Five9 is a useful program for companies of medium and large sizes in which you can make calls and follow up with agents through phone, email, chat, mobile, social, and more all over the world. It is a special program that saves time with friendly interface and is easy to use.
- Easy to use
- Contact remotely with agents
- Contact across phone, email, chat and mobile
- Calls drop off
- Lag
- High price

Five9 FTW
I use Five9 to make outbound calls to the accounts I manage. At times & when needed, I have the ability to conference multiple decision-makers into a call with ease & without needing to put current participants on hold. I'm able to easily & efficiently dial out to my accounts as well as make quick & immediate internal transfers.
- Internal Transfers.
- Call Screening.
- Setting call status Inbound/Outbound.
- Connectivity/Reliability.
- Call quality.
Five9 was used as our telephony platform in our customer support call center primarily serving external customers. We chose it to replace a legacy old fashioned POTS PBX which could not handle our remote workforce and obviously had no omnichannel capabilities. Five9 gave us the ability for call recording/quality controls, chat functionality, etc.
- Call routing and true skill level prioritization
- Supervisor level visibility in realtime of call center key metrics
- Call recording and analyzing functionality
- System uptime and availability. Truly 5 9's
- The detailed reporting and particularly report building functions were clunky and complicated
- No ability to truly integrate post call survey data to the representative level
- Customer support was lacking and slow to respond
This software has helped us a lot with our customer service. The agents have found the program very easy to use and its various tools such as call recordings, omnichannel system and chatbots, allow our work to be much faster, efficient and better serve customers.
- Interactive responses are very useful to be able to serve the customer automatically, without the need for a real agent.
- It has omnichannel functions where all the information from different platforms such as chats, emails, telephony, messages, is centralized in a single system.
- The tool to analyze the interaction with customers has allowed us to improve relationships and we keep a record of what to do and what not to do.
- If it could also work offline or without internet it would be great, so it would not be limited only to when you have a good connection.
- It is a big limitation that it does not have a mobile application, I depend on a computer to be able to serve customers.
- Its omnichannel support is very good, but they should integrate social networks, because there are also customers who need our attention.

Great tool to drive higher customer satisfaction.
Our company would provide customer support for a new form of events that were taking places such as Hybrid or virtual events. It started during the pandemic and as much as people were ok to send tickets of support, clients become more demanding on the support level and would like to use inbound calls as the satisfaction level of resolving issues was much higher.
- Inbound call management.
- Ease of system use.
- Reporting.
- Voice to text automation.

Five9 worked well for me as a first hand user!!
I have used Five9 for more than 10 months and I must say it made my life easy to track my outbound activity.
- Simple to use.
- Great tool to help analyze and track progress.
- Hardly had down time or software issues while using the platform.
- I'll say analytics to the user, like a was a BDR and I saw basic numbers but some graphical representation would be great to have.
- I feel the active green button could be made easier like I do not have to look for it if I am off my seat (especially with WFH setup) if that could be.
- NA

Five9 Review
Five9 Is not being used by our organization but I have used it in the past and it was the best cloud contact center for solutions. I do appreciate the fact that it is easy to use and has all-around access. Even more because this access includes providing customer experiences through the communication methods of phone, email or chat.
- Helps deliver outstanding customer service
- Communication with email, phone or chat
- Facilitates the speed and productivity
- Nothing at this moment requires improvement.

Nixplay is a long time Five 9 Customer
Nixplay uses Five9 for its US customer service department to take support calls from its US B2C customers. The Customer Service team is based in the Philippines and I am the Overall Operations manager fo the Philippines operation. We have been a Five9 customer since 2013 though I have been with the company for 3 years only.
- Five9 support replies quickly over email and follows up with calls for outstanding issues.
- Flexible account management where we can increase/decrease our licenses on a monthly basis.
- Ease of use.
- Lost integration with Zendesk.
- Recently encountered spam calls during the 2019 Christmas sales season.
- Limited capability to eliminate spam calls.

Consistent in both performance and relationships
We have a small contact center of 50-60 agents. Five9 is our telephony provider that supports our operational team and therefore is the base element for our corporate infrastructure. Our call center is primarily inbound but does perform a small number of outbound calls as well--both directions are supported by Five9.
- Collaboration
- Tailored and targeted support
- Personalized approach to business
- Some outsourcing of support elements (i.e., workforce management)

Five9 is not a 10
We used to use Five9 in our office to manage our customer contacts. The system is slow, clunky, and not intuitive at all. Calls would be dropped often. There was also a regular problem with the servers going down and being unavailable. Overall, we ended up switching to a different program because of all the problems with Five9.
- Voicemails were easy to transfer
- Web-based
- Nice colors
- Unstable servers
- Poor customer service
- Clunky user interface

FIve9 For The Win
We use Five9 to track all of our inbound and outbound dialing. In digital marketing, we dive more into the data than most other departments. I use it most commonly for dispositions and to listen to call recordings in order to identify trends. We often use it to identify which campaign certain calls are coming in on.
- Recordings
- Disposition Reporting
- Dial Attempt Reporting
- More specified search fields
- Custom Reporting to be more simplified

Five9 is a great overall solution for quick deployments
Five9 has provided a quick deployment and simple commercial model to plan and execute with support, assistance, and experience.
- Easy deployment.
- It's web-based.
- It's flexible.
- It's not good with local contingencies.
- No local service.

Five9 is one-stop shop for Call Center needs
Our law office has a call center that uses Five9 to call purchased leads to qualify clients for disability. We use an automatic dialing system with an IVR script that calls clients based on time zone, priority, and redial rules. We have separate campaigns and dialers, depending on where our clients are in the filing process. The dialer allows us to call more people at specialized ratios, and the system auto dispositions phone calls for voicemails, dead air, fax machines, busy, etc., so that our call center agents spend most of their time talking to our clients and not working through bad contacts or leads.
- Auto dials and dispose of records
- Allows call back timers to be set so that clients returned calls aren't forgotten.
- Reporting on agent KPI's
- Helping call center agents manage their time
- Weeding out "bad" or "junk" leads
- Easier to use IVR scripting
- A web based administration console
- The gamification element automatically tied to the agent console.

We use Five9 to manage all interactions with customers. It is always good to increase productivity with our team, and this tool can use calls for training purposes and increase transitions from different locations, the benefits with this services are excellent since communication is always effective at all times.
- The voice recognition function.
- The ability to communicate effectively.
- Stability issues.
- Unexpected connectivity errors.

A Great, High Volume Outbound Dialer
We used the Five9 Predictive dialer for our outbound sales call centers. The business problem this addressed for us was to quickly contact, qualify, and communicate with hundreds of thousands of customer inquiries per year.
- Salesforce integration. We leveraged Five9's Salesforce integration to log all call activity into Salesforce as Tasks. This allowed us to be able to report on our sales team's activities to know who our team interacted with.
- Inbound IVR. We had a very complex use case for inbound call routing, so we leveraged Five9's IVR to determine where a call should be routed, to an agent directly? To the general queue? etc.
- Automation for dialing cadences. We had a very aggressive and complex dialing cadence that, in our research and evaluation of other dialers, only Five9 could handle. It was consistent and reliable, which gave us the confidence that we could execute our exact dialing strategy/cadence with every lead.
- Tying call records to Salesforce records. This was a drawback for us when we integrated Five9 with Salesforce was that the default integration did not allow us to access call recordings directly in Salesforce.
- Five9 doesn't have a way to count up the total number of dials a given phone number has been dialed across all lists. For example, if a lead belonged to both our West Coast list and part of our "Special Promotion" list, that phone number had 2 separate dial counts which were very inconvenient to cap the total number of calls to a particular phone number and to report on such a metric.
- The admin panel is a desktop Java application that feels really old and outdated.
We are using Five9 as the main phone system in our call center. We have on average about 150 call center employees and didn't have major issues with Five9 (that were caused by the vendor). The platform is used for phone calls to our customers to perform financial services. The quality of the phone call is a very important part for us and Five9 matches that.
- Web interface for call center agents and supervisors.
- Minimal software requirements to make phone calls.
- Call recordings, reports, analysis charts - everything is right here.
- Quality of calls and number of different dialer options and features.
- Full access to user profiles in the admin application, no need to contact the vendor for user management.
- Very flexible configuration of campaigns, skill-sets, roles, etc.
- Tablet version of Supervisor application for training and QA purposes.
- Customer support -- in many cases useless, especially for minor issues.
- The Java-based application was horrible, but since we moved to the Web-based application, this is no longer the issue.
- A lot of issues related to cached Internet files, Web Cookies, etc.
- The user interface for the agent app should become more user-friendly.
- No history tracking for the messaging system.

Great software for BPO and contact centers
Five9 is a great software that is mainly used in our company for monitoring support calls and it does a great job doing that. This has some awesome side utility features that will provide great performance to the person performing the call and also to the agents analyzing the call with metrics given.
- Monitor calls
- Supports inbound and outbound calling
- Logs every call that is made
- Features a cloud based platform
- UX must be more friendly
- Confusing pricing on the website
- Calls drop without warning

Five9 - A Partner Not Just a Vendor
We utilize the Five9 dialer for all of our call center needs. It is by far the easiest to install, train on, and use by any agent. We are a third party outsource center and we can manipulate the dialer to meet any project service level and reporting needs. We are 100% virtual and rarely do our agents have any technical issues that cannot be immediately resolved. In five years we have only ever had one issue with downtime, and that only lasted 30 minutes until we were rerouted to another hub and were back up. We also have quarterly meetings with Five9 engineers who assist us in utilizing all of Five9's enhancements to the fullest. I wouldn't have or even entertain using another dialer.
- Training for new agents - quick and easy
- Allows you to reach maximum outbound dialing which increases responses
- Allows project prioritization so each call plan is unique
- The only negative is you cannot do remote monitoring. You have to do monitoring with clients.

Five9 gets the job done, but has texting issues and is very complex
Who
Sales and customer service types of roles use Five9 at my company to communicate with our customers. Our customers are students at various higher ed institutions. We have 5 different roles that our students may communicate at any given point during their time with us, and each of these internal roles use slightly different systems (versions of Salesforce, Zendesk, etc).
What it does
These different roles use Five9 both for inbound calls (to individual lines and round-robin lines) and for outbound calling. Then they use the Five9 widget to record their call notes into our CRM, Salesforce.

These different roles use Five9 both for inbound calls (to individual lines and round-robin lines) and for outbound calling. Then they use the Five9 widget to record their call notes into our CRM, Salesforce.
- Easy dialing and call logging. The process of starting or answering a call, then logging a call disposition with its notes, is simple and easy.
- Voicemail drops. You can pre-record voicemails to leave for customers without needing to speak the voicemail content each time. This is a huge timesaver for our reps.
- You can customize the call dispositions / call labels to match what's used in your CRM.
- Text. Texting is incredibly difficult on Five9. We've had issues with only some texts logging to Salesforce, issues with threading of text conversations, and issues with having Salesforce contact information appear on the text widget (knowing who you are texting, not just their phone number).
- The interface to "pause" is challenging. There are not good reminders to our reps to remember to pause or log out of Five9. If you forget to log out, this can affect stats about who worked the longest hours that day - and it's hard to know who actually was active on the phones.
- Inbound voicemails are too-easily hidden. It's challenging for a lot of our reps to remember to check their inbound voicemails because it is hard to access them in the Five9 widget.

Five9 is an awesome call center manager!
We used Five9 in our call center with about 200 employees to communicate with our clients. I recommend the service to any company starting or needing call center contact service. I don't have any negative feelings about this software and it works really well as a whole to communicate outside and inside of the call center. Also allows you to manage your employees stats. Kudos Five9!
- Call monitoring and recording work well and can easily manage
- Call center statistics with personalized dashboards
- Voicemail service for callers
- Call forwarding feature
- Mapping and integration with other applications
- Quality in connection sometimes is poor but could be due to internet bandwidth as well

Great dialing program to increase productivity
My department used Five9 Predictive Dialing for making calls to potential donors. This really helps our department go through more calls, less down time, and increase dials and productivity.
- It dials more records in less times. It eliminates the no answers, so it allows are callers to spend better use of their time than sitting around listening to ringing or dead air.
- Sometimes, the dialer doesn't allow the record to ring long enough or doesn't send the call to the caller fast enough.
- Also, it can be difficult at times for the dialer to detect the voicemails or fax machines.

Five9 Virtual Contact Center
Five9 Virtual Contact Center is used for one department of our organization that is a call center. It allows us a unified interface for all forms of contact (phone, email, text, chat, social media, and video calls). We use the Five9 platform to provide resources and relief to our clients.
- Unified environment for all forms of contact
- Pleasing UI that is easy to use
- Provides a high degree of training at all levels of the call center to ensure that everyone is well versed in their platform
- We have not experienced any major issues so far. All minor issues are handled quickly by help desk staff.
