Basic Dialer for Call Volume.

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Great call center solution to keep dials moving along with a simple approach. There isn't much lag time in between calls kicking in to the next roll out and it is easy to disposition. I really like the features of 'chirp' in as it helps with training and helping reps close deals.

Pros

  • Easy to use.
  • Great for training/monitoring.
  • Great for high-volume call centers.

Cons

  • Limited analytics.
  • Outages and Support Issues.
  • Lack of Advanced AI capabilities.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are in a churn-and-burn environment where maximizing call volume is crucial, this solution is perfect for you. Although it may not offer the best pricing or support, it is really easy for new users to navigate and keep calls rolling. Ideal for entry-level sales reps, focusing on the sheer volume of calls made daily.

Five9 is a GOOD tool but needs to visual improvement.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Five9 as a tool to make and receive calls from various departments such as Customer Care, Underwriting, Claims, and others. These departments have experienced issues primarily from supervisor consoles, as they sometimes lose access without making significant changes to the admin console. While it's a tool that has helped us complete various tasks to contact our customers, it has also enabled us to replace Zoom Phone, as it makes it easier to assign new contact numbers to agents, whereas Zoom Phone only allows reusing existing numbers.

Pros

  • it makes it easier to assign new contact numbers to agents.
  • Good tool to make and receive calls from various departments such as Customer Care, Underwriting, Claims, and others.
  • it's a tool that has helped us complete various tasks to contact our customers.
  • It's a good tool with an easy-to-use interface for new users.

Cons

  • They need a more minimalist look.
  • They need to improve the supervisor console because it's very basic.
  • These departments have experienced issues primarily from supervisor consoles because they sometimes lose access without making significant changes to the admin console

Five9 powerful tool for enrollments

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using for our member enrollment process.We get eligible members data from our marketing team and integrated with the Marketing cloud. After automation is complete, all these will be loaded as records in our Salesforce environment and syncs into Five9 dialer via List Sync Plus add on package from Five9. Our agents login to Salesforce and then open engage widget. With the progressive dialer from Five9 calls get automatically connected to our agents. Previously our agents used to make manual calls and able to complete only 30-40 calls per individual. But now every agent is completing almost 100 calls which has increased their productivity by 300%.

Pros

  • Progressive dialing
  • screen pop up in salesforce when the call is connected
  • List sync plus package for syncing records into Five9 Dialer
  • Logging tasks in salesforce for every call.
  • Very easy to disposition a connected call

Cons

  • The Five9 VCC User Interface can be improved a lot
  • recently they improved their reporting interface. Still lot of scope for improvement in UI here too
  • Can improve capabilities around prioritization and automations that can be done with Salesforce.

Likelihood to Recommend

very well suited for large number of enrollments, registrations by insurance companies. Also we recently implemented it for automating a order placement.

Maybe not very well suited for live agent chat experience as there are limitations on texting, laggy performance in this area. I think its also hard to incorporate a payment system within the five9- salesforce automation.

Five9 Support

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Five9 in different departments in our agency. In my particular department we do transfer calls to other departments if they select the wrong option on the phone tree. We are currently working on redoing the phone tree so that the agents are transferred to the correct department. Overall, Five9 has been a great experience.

Pros

  • Five9 makes transferring to different departments easy.
  • Five9 has a messaging option
  • Five9 dispositions are nice for when a supervisor needs to look into the call

Cons

  • Five9 does seem to drop calls often.
  • Five9 would be nice to have extensions
  • My team does not like the auto answer feature of Five9

Likelihood to Recommend

Five9 has been a great experience for my team in my organization. The only issue we find is that agents don't listen to the prompts in the phone tree and will select the wrong options. My team also likes the messaging option to other users. I personally as a supervisor like the option that you can listen to the phone call while the user is on the phone talking.

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Five9 contact center is fully integrated with our CMR and used for both inbound and outbound call campaigns. In addition, we use digital channels for all email and SMS activity.

Pros

  • tracking all voice and digital activity
  • integration with salesforce and litify
  • my support engineer is very knowledgably and available to me

Cons

  • need more option on how the phone embeds into Salesforce
  • call center agents and backend agents should be able to see presence

Likelihood to Recommend

Five9 is a great tool you can integrate with your CRM allowing you to track all activity. Both user and automated activity. Creating outbound call campaigns to ensure available agents are making outbound calls has a ton of features so you can customize to your business needs. Building inbound IVR's with all types of call routing rules is also great. The way activity can be seen and managed between Five9 and Nextiva, our office telephony system, however is lacking.

Five9 has become the Gold Standard!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We us it to make calls every day. We have a lot of issues with connectivity and calls being dropped. We have to clear our cache frequently to get it to work. It requires high speed internet and a lot of the time we have issues getting it to work. It can be frustrating.

Pros

  • Click to Dial feature is nice

Cons

  • Connectivity
  • Requires very high speed internet connection

Likelihood to Recommend

It is used to contact clients and be able to log the time of the calls. If you take a lot of inbound calls it doesn't always log the inbound calls. Would be nice i it worked better for that. I am not sure what is not appropriate for using.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Five9

Rating: 4 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company work is in healthcare awareness and uses Five9 to contact patients regarding their prescription usage and results. Clients have live interaction with pharmacy techs and/or pharmacists depending on the questions or their needs.

Pros

  • predictive dialing
  • call routing to agents
  • IVR call flow

Cons

  • text-to-speech for IVR voice prompt
  • basic account-level reporting
  • features that are included instead of ala cart

Likelihood to Recommend

When I was working for a collections company, Five9 was great for handling high-volume outbound and inbound call traffic.

Any small to medium company that doesn't have the call volume to offset the cost. Also, healthcare Insurance can tend to be unbalanced by mainly receiving inbound calls, so you lose the benefit of the smart dialer.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We had a homebrew ACD system that was very buggy, and many functions did not work. So we implemented Five9 ACD system and it solved many of our issues. We were able to leverage Five9 ACD to setup an IVR that allowed customers to do self-service and leveraged Agent Assist and AI insights to streamline operations for Care agents in generating case notes and analyze effectiveness and efficiency of our Care agents.

Pros

  • IVR
  • Agent Assist
  • AI Insights

Cons

  • Omnichannel Configurations
  • Chat widget
  • Email configurations

Likelihood to Recommend

Very robust ACD system including AI reporting. Might not be the best for centers primarily using email or chat.
