Genesys Cloud CX

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Genesys Cloud CX is the Core of our Telephony systems. We use it mainly for inbound calls, and have some other features such as web chat, email and outbound to a certain extent. With over 1000 different call designs, we moved from a 1-1 design to call flow to having just 1 call flow using logic and data tables to perform all permutations.

Pros

  • Call Flow flexibility - with intelligent design you ca achieve a lot with the systems available.
  • Constant improvements - weekly updates, new features, ideas portal all contribute to this, always striving to make the system better.
  • Easy to use - easy to transition from most other systems.
  • Intuitive UI - things are (generally) where you would expect them to be, and from admin to frontline users all find the system accessible.
  • Excellent learning resources - with a subscription to the learning resources, there are so many courses to improve knowledge.

Cons

  • High cost of AI tokens for AI features - good ROI for a smaller company, not so much with lots of users.
  • Outbound functionality- improvements have been ongoing, but slow to see any real results.
  • Communication of updates - Before and after screenshots and descriptions would we appreciated!

Return on Investment

  • Administration - The design of our system has enabled us to managed changes with call flows and recordings so much more efficiently, not it involves updating a data table rather than changing call flows.
  • stability - frontline agents have reported a much more stable platform since moving to Genesys Cloud CX, we have less errors and system issues than previous.
  • Stats - It was a difficult road but now we have designs that work to provide our data teams with relevant and actionable information

Genesys Cloud CX Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a customer experience manager in customer experience/e-commerce, Genesys has greatly helped us when our business went through a product recall just recently. We fully orchestrated a recall system within Genesys Cloud to make sure that we automate the steps for the recall needs.

Even before that, Genesys Cloud CX is our primary contact center platform since we normally receive high number of interactions and calls. In this specific case, Genesys Cloud allowed us to create a system and a queue that is solely designated for recalls with the help of fraud detection, duplication of the submission and safety and compliance related cases.

Pros

  • Call and contact routing has been a game changer for our organization. Customers get connected to the right person faster based on their specific needs.
  • Reporting and analytics, it gives me more visibility than the other tools I've used before. Since I am a customer experience manager, it is easier for me to track my team's real time performance and a lot meaningful coaching sessions since I have the complete data that I need during our conversation.
  • Integration with other tools has been flawless as well, it fits into our existing workflow in a straightforward way and it does not create a lot of friction because other platforms made that part a little painful to do.

Cons

  • I'd like to see in Genesys Cloud CX a full visibility of interactions even if you were not one of the handlers of the interactions. I think that is the only limited part of it, some interactions and its full context are not visible to other agents if they did not handle that specific contact.
  • Other than that, I think Genesys CLoud CX is perfect especially the way I use it and helps me in my day to day business needs.

Return on Investment

  • All of the impacts of Genesys Cloud on our overall business has always been positive. Let me start by cost savings, I previously mentioned that we went through a product recall. And unlike other companies, Genesys helped us greatly in automating our system and in return, we didn't have to hire a third party company to handle our recall SOPs.
  • Employee engagement, we utilized the gamification feature which has been a great addition to our employee experience. It keeps our agent motivated and engaged it a healthy competitive way.

A Complete CX Solution That Exceeds Expectations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our main problem was fragmented systems and inefficient use of resources. Our team was dissatisfied, our customers were unhappy, and we had no insights into our customers' problems and feedback. One of the biggest reasons we wanted to move to Genesys Cloud CX was to have a one-stop shop and the ability to customize the platform to work for our needs.

Pros

  • Agentic AI and Co-pilots.
  • WEM and WFM.
  • Open APIs and Reporting.

Cons

  • Ability to customize dashboards with time and count based KPIs on one widget.
  • Ability to reassign parked interactions when agents are out of office.
  • Missing calendar-based routing overrides with a simple block range date toggle.

Return on Investment

  • 65% TCO reduction.
  • 25% increase in efficiency.
  • 33% increase in agent satisfaction.

Genesys Cloud CX review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Before, we were using the on-premise, which is peer connect, and it was a lot of trouble. You're waiting for the upgrade, and then sometimes there's some outage, so there's too much dependency. But now, with Genesys Cloud CX, it updates and upgrades for you. You don't have to wait for it, and it doesn't affect the operations.

Pros

  • I really love the architect when we're building the call flows for inbound, the email SMS chats, and it's just playing, but there's just so much that you could do. And it's, so you can drag and move the functions and actions, and unlike our previous product, you have to click here and go to different tabs, but here you can access almost everything in just one page.

Cons

  • It's just the outbound part. It's missing a lot of features that we used to have. So, after talking to one of the ones who's demoing for the outbound, it looks like it's coming. So it's there is anxiety of not having those important features for our outbound campaigns

Return on Investment

  • You may have a negative impact because jumping to a big product, there's so much to offer, so much to learn. It's a big adjustment for all the employees and even the agents. But it's worth it. And we're seeing that as time goes by, agents are adapting to the new software and also the IT department. But we need to keep moving because technology is really growing fast, and we can always be behind

Genesys Cloud CX inside NCRY

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As of now, we are mostly using voice support and starting with chat. Also, we are using parts with sentiment analysis, surveys, gamification and quality management. Gamification is great. Surveys are better than before. Sentiment is good but sentiment feedback has a lot of space for progress.

Pros

  • Copilot
  • A lot of options in the architect
  • Great analytics workspace

Cons

  • Sentiment analysis / sentiment feedback
  • Much more listening to people on idea portal
  • Less cost for features

Return on Investment

  • Only issue is that everything cost a lot
  • Implementing suggested ideas and listening to consumers should happen more
