Genesys Cloud was implemented to offer a contact center solution and to displace an on premise PBX. The premise was to migrate to a full cloud solution, to mitigate lengthy upgrades, and to offer a seamless solution end-to-end which with a feature-rich product.
  • Seamless Upgrades.
  • Feature-Rich Contact Centre Solution.
  • User-Friendly Experience.
  • Email Channel functionality is a little limited at present.
Great for those looking for a full cloud end-to-end solution. I could not think of a reason where it would not be fitting - the costs are comparable against other providers, including running an on-prem solution.

  • Has provided an excellent solution to WFH due to COVID.
  • Integrated a new PCI DSS solution to decouple us from PCI.
It plays a great role, the ability to offer automated bot services to help with FAQ is a great addition and feature rich!
We migrated from an onprem Avaya Contact Center elite platform to Genesys cloud with ease, the system was setup like for like and the ability to switch features on and trial functions on CX3 license level with no additional costs was an added bonus
Genesys is an end-to-end solution developed in-house - at the time of evaluating Ring Central it was coupled with Nice In Contact, and did not work seamlessly.

The feature set needed to be equal or better than what we had. The fact it is continually being developed and improved is excellent.
We were happy with the process we followed, we had a list of requirements and vetted various systems.
We rolled it out in a methodical manner to help alleviate the issues of big bang, when we got to the later larger teams for onboarding we had tackled nearly all of the known issues.
  • Implemented in-house
Yes
We rolled this out on a per team basis and placed intergrations between our existing PBX and Genesys
  • User onboarding and training - it takes time to adopt some of the users
  • Online Training
  • In-Person Training
Excellent product support training from the Genesys team and very informative
Excellent delivery and very informative
Personally it is right for the use we have, we do not use all features however it is nice to have the ability to fine tune where needed.
Setup like for like if migrating and then turn on additional features afterwards for simplicity of migration.
Some - we have added small pieces of custom code
Used to integrate with our custom on prem CRM - the implementation worked perfectly.
Not at this time
Quick and informative responses from the support team
No we went with standard support given that the system had an excellent SLA in place.

When I have raised queries around our flows they have been answered quickly and in an informative and simple manner to understand.
Very intuitive and easy to use.
  • The flows are very initiative and easy to use
  • The integration elements and Actions tabs are simple to follow
  • The dev tools and the ability to seek some elements of information.
Yes, but I don't use it
Feature rich product and consistently being developed and updated in the background.
We have never had an outage (touch wood)
Quick load times and voice quality is always excellent even on limited bandwidth it scales effectively
The professional team made it easy to seamlessly integrate with our bespoke CRM.

We are using Genesys Cloud for customer services, Inbound call flows, chatbot integrations, natural language (Lexbot) and to provide the better services and support to the customers using our products. Earlier we need to go for the third-party CIT solution, but this has been addressed in the Genesys Cloud CTI solution.
  • Genesys is going exceptionally well in the call routing; we have bulls eye routing which can choose the more appropriate agents to route the call and IVR's can do precise routing login using the architect scripts.
  • The Genesys Cloud solution centralizes omnichannel processing, system configuration, administration, and reporting, while also consolidating multiple vendors to one.
  • The Genesys Cloud migrations provides fast deployment and cost-saving.
  • WebRTC softphones vs expensive hardphones vs softphones.
  • WebRTC softphone, On-demand call recording, Corporate and workgroup directories.
  • Voicemail and unified messaging which gives exceptional enhancements in our call center environment.
  • We need to rely on the stability and the quality of the user’s Internet connections bandwidth.
  • In case of any features which need in house development, and we need to wait for the more time.
  • Genesys should focus calling plans instead of going to other PSTN service providers.
Genesys Cloud is providing omnichannel customer experience which is good compared to all other providers in the market now, and when it comes to the calling plans we need to go for the third party providers, instead this could be managed by Genesys itself by providing calling plans as like Microsoft calling plans.
  • Genesys CTI.
  • Lexbot integration.
  • On demand call recording.

  • Omnichannel experience.
  • PSTN is not provided by Genesys.
  • Call routing options are exceptional.
  • BCP solution is not effective in case of application level failure
  • In case of BCP then you need to bear for the additonal cost for licensing
Genesys is good in the knowledge management and they are clearly document all pieces of the information in the help.purecloud.com, if you required any assitance its provides a detailed explanation and also the examples for the practices. Genesys also does good in the automation where the self-scripts can be created for the calls
Yes, they have developed tool to inject the existing configurations in the production system and also its very easy to migrate from any legacy/on-premises solutions and its user's friendly with lot of enhacements in the GUI page. But when specially taking about BCP they still need to address how the application level redunacny can be achieved without spending more cost for licensing .
We get the good omnichannel experience and fast implementation, Webex phone features and also cost effective solution.Genesys WEM/WFO is very good and its helps business for the forcasting and enabling the shift plans as well.

Its learning subscription where you will get all the required information and it would be active for 1 year
Company provides the learning subscription in the GENESYS Beyond Course, and it really help to understand from Basic to advanced level. They really described each and every section in the online module. The best part in genesys making unique is documentation, Whenever you need something you can simply go to help.mypurecloud.com and it provides end to end information of your requirements.
Yes, you will see tons of videos and well documented step by step information in the help.purecloud.com and always go the genesys.beyond.com to see more training videos and documentation about genesys cloud CX
Genesys takes more time to analyse the logs and TAT for the incidents,and for every audio related issues you should enable media capture logs and its really degradge the performance of entire region but still we dont have any other option than doing it.
No, its very costly solution and we did not want it
Yes
There are many bugs has been reported to Genesys Cloud CX and Dev team takes more time to develop fix for it
During the Platform level failure in the one of their hosted region and they provided the timely update in the public forum with all relavant details to understand and keep updated about the issue and progress on that

Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) is being used across the whole organization and it does the perfect job. We don't have business problems but sometimes our customers ask for business reports based on their business values and Genesys will implement this feature in the future. We are happy to use Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud)!
  • It has the best user interface
  • Fast and easy deployment
  • Open platform for fast integrations
  • End-to-end omnichannel management
  • You can clear campaigns from API but it should be a button for supervisors
  • Supporting arrays and tables on agent scripting could be a good improvement
Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) fully integrated with Salesforce (+email for business) is one of the best scenarios that I can describe. I cannot find scenarios in which Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) is less appropriate since it's not a CRM. PureCloud provides a friendly and professional UI that can be embedded everywhere.

We are a big team in Mellon Technologies but for Genesys Cloud, we are a team of 6 people with three developers, two project managers and one for sales/pre-sales.

Well, to support Genesys Cloud, you need software/network engineers to support the EDGEs and the platform. Of course it is based on the level of support that you want to give. You need developers only if you have integrations with data actions which are mandatory for support. For integrations, you should have json skills, rest api skills and some js.
  • Cloud Solution
  • Integration with Salesforce
  • Custom Integrations
  • The salesforce connector
  • The cloud solution with no downtime
  • With REST API you can integrate with every system!
  • As contact center
  • As cloud solution
  • Easy rest integrations with every system
Since we do not have any problem at all except some features that we have voted, all services are working 100% with status page. For every update, we are getting informed with email for the next actions. I cannot find a reason to not renew my use of this product.
Not Sure
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
The most important factor in my decisions was about the Product Features. The system provides ready integrations with a lot of companies and CRM's that would be an extra effort. It provides ACD routing which is the best in the market, it is very customizable and can be well integrated with any system.
We did right i believe and i wouldn't change anything about the evaluation and the selection process.
  • Implemented in-house
Yes
We started with organization configuration and then with the edge devices configuration.
The second phase was to configure user/roles based on the business of the customer.
At the end, we concluded with ACD and Agent scripting.
  • Read wrapup codes from Analytics API
  • Uploading csv file
You have to understand how the product works by reading the documentation many times.
  • Online training
  • in-person training
Genesys team that provide trainings are friendly and professional. They helped us to understand well the product and the functionalities. The training was detailed with use cases. At the end, we got a task to develop that ended with success and we got some Genesys rewards. It was amazing experience!
At start, i took online lessons with video and self-test answers which was very helpful. After that, i got training on teams and everything was very well documented with examples and use-cases in order to understand and to learn the product at 100%. I believe the online training is detailed and it covers everything.
There is a limitation that can be better but it has amazing configuration at all!
My best practise is to configure the edge first of all and then to pair it with Genesys Cloud. We register the extensions of the agents and IVR's. We configuration queues and campaigns by using the IVR numbers. Then we create the agents with specific permissions and roles. At the end, we configure the scripts.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
As additional configuration, i will include the data actions we used in order to make integrations. We configured the data actions together with the scripts in order to deliver a nice environment to the agent screen. We handled the errors and the succces messages as a popup dialogs that helps the agen to understand what's going wrong.
Because PureCloud support is a friendly and proffesional support with answers to the point. Trust me, their estimation time is really fast. They answer between 1-3 hours and always with the correct answer. Also they are able to schedule a meeting with you during the day in order to show you or to explain to you some functions.
Yes we purchased premium support in order to cover all cases of our projects. Because we feel well when we have a proffesional team from behind to support us when we really need help to impement or to configure something that requires an extra knowledge/assistant. With premium support, we are not anymore stressed about the project deadlines.
No
As i remember, Genesys provided exceptional support last week when we were trying to deliver the project. We had a permission issue when an admin could assign agents and queues from other divisions. The customer escalated the issue to us and Genesys support was there to assist us and to explain in details the steps that we have to do.
Genesys Cloud has an awesome UI where the configuration, the contact center management and the integrations really easy tasks and very well understandable. From our experience, you can go live really fast.
  • People Management
  • Integrations
  • Telephony and Sip configuration
  • Agent Scripts
  • When you try to read and to get feedback of the contactlist that you have uploaded by exporting the excel file. Too many redirections.
  • Analytics API is difficult but we did well
Yes, but I don't use it
You can setup this product and you can have your environment ready in munutes by assigning divisions and queues and campaigns.
There is no unplanend outages of my 2 years experience. Always online and always there!
The pages are loading quickly but not every time. There is a delay sometimes. About the integrations, everything is working as expected, there is no slow down.

  • Custom CRM

  • DebtManager
They support salesforce integration and not DM.
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
.NET services with REST API
developer tools and online api documents are very important
During the sales process, the vendor helped us to resolve any issue that we had. Genesys answered all of our unanswered questions that we had in order to complete the RFP document including security. We received very good answers to the point and we got tips to handle some questions that need attention.
After the sales, it was easy to work with Genesys. They provided support and configuration in order to help us to understand the logic behind the functionalities. Genesys provided tips and use cases in order to accomplish the project specific tasks. At the end, the support area was very helpful that allowed us to track all issues.

We utilize Genesys Cloud to route our inbound call volume at three of our Customer Care call centers. One of the biggest benefits from utilizing the software is that we were able to launch a quality program. Something we have been looking to implement for awhile.
  • Communication of new features being launched.
  • Striving to provide new and improved features.
  • Working with and listening to the customer.
  • Reporting and Analytics.
  • Wall Board Functionality.
  • API Training and Ease of Use.
Genesys is easy to use from a Administration vantage point. Administrators can be quickly brought up to speed on the finite details of how to utilize Genesys Cloud administration tools.

  • Positive-Can quickly change skills and queues to manage overflow calls between our three Customer Care call centers.
  • Positive-Better service to our customers as a result of the quality program that the Genesys software provides.
  • Negative-Early adopter experienced stability issues initially.
The administration side of Genesys Cloud is very straight forward and easy to utilize. Our company just launched a new contact center in the UK on Genesys Cloud and the supervisors and users were fully trained within a couple of hours. This supports the claim the Genesys Cloud is very easy to set up and utilize. The architect side of Genesys Cloud could use some simplification though.
My success manager and sales support personal do a great job in providing support when and wherever needed. We have monthly calls to discuss any open issues or tickets. They are quick to set up any and all requested demos with the proper product management personnel. They worked with us through our recent launch and provided all necessary support in a timely fashion.
Genesys stacked up nicely when compared to other software offerings and was priced economically. At the time of our purchase many companies did not offer a cloud solution.

Genesys Cloud replaced and older call center contact software. Prior to Genesys Cloud we utilized Zeacom.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
The most crucial feature for our company was the ability to connect call centers all over the globe in a quick and simple fashion, Genesys Cloud provides that capability.
I think we would do more research on Cloud based systems. We were an early adopter of this software and ran into several issues after launch.
  • Implemented in-house
Yes
Phase One was making the decision to utilize Genesys Cloud.
Phase Two was setting up the design or flow of the system.
Phase Three was setting up the flows in architect and launch in June of 2016.
Change management was minimal
We needed to do more long term planning such as what is the back up plan if it doesn't work. What is the disaster recovery plan?
  • System went down on day of launch (for only 15 minutes)
  • System went down two weeks after launch
  • Reverted back to old system for several weeks after second outage
  • Was surprised with the lack of features after launch
It was relatively new product at our launch and has steadily improved over our tenure with Genesys.
  • Online training
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
It was great. Interactive Intelligence Personnel made numerous trips to our corporate office.
It is good and getting better all the time. The community is a great resource.
Yes very easy. As long as you have support from IT then yes self taught is very simplistic.
VERY. Set up the system as you designed it. Easy to change if need be.
Do your homework when designing the system The more thorough you are in this stage the more precise the system will be.
Some - we have done small customizations to the interface
If we are talking about connecting to the API then this was not a easy process. But keep in mind we did so three years ago.
No - we have not done any custom code
None at this time
No
The usability of the software has made it simple enough for us to tackle most issues ourselves from set up to the daily usage. We have not ran into a scenario where we needed professional support.
Yes
Yes it was. The issue was with reports and if I remember correctly the issue was resolved in the same day.
The support I received for Genesys during the launch of our UK call center was exceptional in my mind. They were very efficient in processing all necessary paperwork and even conducted a welcome call for the new call center supervisor. Much appreciated.
  • Adding new personnel to the system
  • Changing or adding skills for the agents
  • Adjusting wrap up codes or altering them
  • Setting up queues
  • Architect can be challenging
  • Outbound cal campaigns are currently a challenge
  • Reporting needs to improve
Very easy to add contact centers being we just launched another center this month.
Initially we had some issues but as stated prior that has gotten much better under the Genesys brand.
Some delays with reports loading from time to time but other than that no major issues.
  • Sales Force
Purchase of the licenses for the Sales Force Connector was simple enough. Implementation f the connector was a little more challenging but we managed.
  • Not at this time
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
No that I know of...
As I stated we ran into a few issues when we integrated the Sales Force Connector but support was able to assist.
Do your research. Utilize the community and ask about the specific planned integration and if any as done so. Ask what were the challenges with the integration and how did they overcome them.
Ran into a little difficulty being that we were going to purchase an on premise solution and was told in early January that a center of our size would only be offered Genesys Cloud.
There were some bumps in the road being that we had several service disruptions early on. As stated prior the reliability of the system has improved ever since Genesys bought ININ.
Initially we were on a month to month basis. Eventually we went to a yearly contract.
Be up front with your expectations. Genesys wants your feedback. They want to know when they do well and when they miss the mark.
Yes
Yes and no. We launched a new call center but on the same level license as we currently have at all of our centers. The release was a complete success and progressed without issues.
  • Upgraded for a phone ACD system. This will improve service to our customers and will make our agents lives better.
  • More direct routing to specific agents.
  • Availability of metrics.
  • Quality program can be launched.
  • Reporting
  • Quality Program
  • Call Routing
Yes
We have thought about going to a tier three license but would like to be able to have specific centers (that are on the same domain) to be on tier three and others not.
No
