We as service provider implemented Genesys based solutions for different clients. I am an expert in Genesys Routing Strategy development and have implemented call routing for several clients and its really worth using this solution.
  • Genesys Voice platform enables flexibility in organisations call flows.
  • Reporting solutions are very good.
  • Call routing, if designed in efficient way by separate customer data layer, it works with great flexibility.
  • With SCI management layer is easy to manage.
  • Great routing flexibility.
  • IVR solutions by studio and composer.
  • Stat tables for business hours can be designed in better way.

It is our main IVR for two main departments, a bigger department being the main users of about 70% and the other department the rest. The main department handles voice, email, and chat. The smaller department handles voice and emails. Both departments use it in conjunction with Genesys Workspace for users to receive interactions. The workforce Planning team uses Genesys WFM. Leaders use Genesys CCPulse.
  • Basic setup
  • Simple design
  • Basic UI
  • Minimal funcitonality
  • Needs love and investment from developers to make it better
  • Not adaptable or extendable
Well suited based on price and simple functionality for a service centre that does basic interactions. Voice email and chat.

Not suited for bigger companies that want insights and other complex functions to come with the product, such as speech analytics, trendy UI, complex IVR, and full functional Workforce Management integration.

The company I work for is a Genesys partner. We sell Genesys, implement it, and give support for other companies.
  • With Genesys, you can have highly personalized interactive voice response menus.
  • Highly personalized routing strategies for call to meet any customer expectation.
  • Several different interactions can be managed by just one agent at one desktop.
  • You can track your contact center activity with reports and recordings.
  • Use AI to handle Interactions from several sources. Built once implement in every channel
  • There could be an option to have all components from Genesys Cloud on third party cloud service or even in customers site infrastructure or at least some Hybrid model should still persist after engage on premise end of life.
Genesys Engage is well suited for large contact centers - maybe could be expensive for a small one.

  • Provide public or private cloud options
  • Can choose any cloud platform like AWS or Google
  • It will maximize control over ​​infrastructure, deployment, and administration side
  • Troubleshooting issues
  • Design and maintenance support/guidance
Genesys MultiCloud CX is well suited for eServices components at first glance. The rest will come as per operation needs.

We are able to run our operations into one single platform with Omnichannel capabilities, simplify operations management, increase productivity for agents and customer satisfaction, unify diverse banking products and services into a single self-service platform and increase sales revenue to achieve ROI. My scope covers outbound telesales.
  • Single sign on view for agent
  • Agent monitoring tool
  • Reporting tool to perform analysis
  • Auto dialer options
  • User friendly system
  • To convert ccpulse reporting tool into web base access
  • Easier uploading process for call list
  • To allow more report templates format
Easier to integrate with our custom-developed case flow into the same agent dialer that provides 360 views of the Cm interaction journey from various channels to the agent’s view and also integrated website leads referral directly to Genesys as call list in real-time. Genesys needs to enhance its reporting tool format with multiple types of formats for different analyses instead of a common reporting format.

We are using mixed-mode Genesys Multicloud CX components that integrate with our existing Pure Engage premise base components. We are trying to deploy a Multicloud CX-based reporting product - GCXI that enables migration from GII to GCXI for historical Business Reporting. We are also evaluating other Multicloud CX apps like GWS / WWE, BDS, and CX Contact
  • Multi Cloud Platform support - AWS, Azure, Openshift
  • compatibility with CI/CD tools like Jfrog
  • separation of authentication from ( G-Auth ) from core application components
  • Smart failover and Active-Active design support
  • Need for statefull mode for GCXI application
  • need for leveraging unique ports that need detailed security review
Multicloud CX is suited for Pure Engage premise-based solutions to Private or Hybrid Cloud setups. Provides multiple options for this premise to cloud migration. Challenges will be to modify your internal Private cloud setup with the need to open up unique ports and security features.

We are nearing the end of a project to integrate the ACD with our CRM and deploy it to agents at three call centers.
  • Stability - as long as we have the hardware to run it.
  • I like the chat bot and voice bot functionality that I was able to configure rather easily.
  • I have heard from some of our developers that data integration is difficult. We have spent a lot of time developing services for that data transfer.
It is a large, enterprise-grade phone system. Customization of client experiences is a strength of the IVR. Prior to our IVR implementation, we had to do custom code for each client.

Genesys Multicloud CX allows us to use Agent to set up and manage our call center to onboard new customers and users in minutes. Allows us to do call-back with ease when call volumes are high. During the COVID pandemic employees were able to work from home without missing a beat.
  • Agent desktop
  • Call-back feature
  • work from anywhere
  • easy management of agents
  • More technical tutorials and courses
  • Mobile app needs more features and GUI improvement
In our case, the solution has worked very well. There are times when service is slow in answering questions or system response is slow.

Genesys Multicloud CX is transforming the contact center industry by delivering innovation to us. It’s a leading platform for seamlessly integrating voice and digital channels and creating better business outcomes overall. We wanted a technology partner with a proven track record and strong after-sales support, who wouldn’t rely on us to provide all the thinking and thought leadership
  • personalized customer experience
  • uptodate technologie
  • easy enduser access
  • Documentation hard to read somehow
  • Look and feel with themes
  • Tablet App
It is easy to deploy a service on Genesys Multicloud CX if there is not much personalization. It can be difficult to implement a complex strategy based only on tutorials

Genesys Engage is being used by the majority of the organization to deliver omnichannel experience to TELUS customers.
  • Interaction Routing capabilities is second to none
  • Open flexible integration available APIs
  • Support department is stellar
  • Genesys Engage has a solution for the entire contact center ecosystem starting from routing, reporting thru to workforce optimization.
  • Better documentation
  • Conversation Manager product should have ready to use solution blueprints segmented by verticals for ease of implementation
  • Historical analytic products could be improved and refreshed
  • Better support for open source products if used as part of a product offering. IE Elasticsearch, Cassandra etc.
Suited for big organization that has different user groups with different integration demands

Genesys PureEngage is used by our organization to support our in house contact center, which supports our customer using different channels like voice , chat , social media , email, etc.

It is used by our Marketing Dept. for outbound calling, the customer care department for handling inbound calls, and queries raised via social media.

We are now looking forward to integrating Voice assistance and chatbot functionality with Genesys .
  • We have integrated our Mobile Banking App to Genesys using its GMS solution so customers can now see real time statistics / waiting time to reach the call center agents for their specific query
  • We are now also working on Genesys Bot Gateway to integrate the chat bot application with Genesys, so agents can handle the chats that are not handled by chatbots. This can build an extra strong FAQ in our database
  • WorkForce management and its use via Mobile banking App.
  • Simplified call routing
Best contact center product for routing. Seamless integration with third party vendors like Nuance , Avaya , NICE, etc. GIR is not very suitable for recording, though, in comparison with NICE and Verint

As an Akbank, we are using Genesys Engage with almost all components other than EWD solution. Akbank is the leader company for the new call center technologies. Therefore, if there's a new application or new Genesys module showed up, we're insisting on learning and loved-to-use for our customers. We're launching Proactive Chat and Vidyo solutions in order to increase customer experience for customers. Since we've launched ClicktoCall (voice, chat) feature in our mobile bank application, we got positive feedback from our customers. Create proper and less supervisor process in order to manage Agent's shifts via using Genesys WFM. Other than this, Social Engagement has been integrated first at Akbank in Turkey. Our customers contacted us via Twitter and Facebook channels easily. So that using Genesys Engage, we have received a good portion of the customer interaction via non-media channel. Agent or Call based issues is solved via using InfoMart reporting. Using Genesys IVR for enhanced capabilities in order to design dynamic IVR functions. Using powerful routing capabilities for voice and non-voice media channels. Genesys Engage is being used by CallCenter side (Inbound, Outbound, SocialMedia, Chat, Video), however, it's not being used in our bank branches.
  • Using Genesys IVR for enhanced capabilities in order to design dynamic IVR functions.
  • Using powerful routing capabilities for voice and non-voice media channels.
  • WebEngagement module as we used ClickToCall in our mobile bank application along with chat session. So that when our Customer(s) are authenticated in the mobile app, they can easily connect with our Customer representative without waiting in the queue for a long duration. It helps to decrease average waiting time and increase Service Level.
  • Support team; especially e-Services segment of support which provides an immediate solution and detailed information for the specific problem. They're really taking care of the cases and provide WebEx session without asking.
  • Genesys Customer Advocacy Program would also be effective way to get in touch with customer
  • Other than product defects or bugs, we've seen that Genesys documentation can include more specific information about installation, deployment, and administration. New documents/release notes should include the previous DOC information as well. Sometimes, I've recognized that I couldn't find useful info in the new document/release note, cause it's been deleted.
  • In urgent cases, Genesys should provide WebEx session and chat immediately without asking logs and other information.
  • Need to improve Social Engagement module by adding new social channels. Nowadays, customers have lots of alternative channels to complain such as Instagram, YouTube, Google+. Therefore, we would like to see more alternative social media plugins in Genesys PureEngage.
  • Need to improve Reporting. Real-time and Historical. Default call center statistics should be prepared as Avaya do. No need for extra configuration. Also, real and historical values should be identical.
  • More technical tutorials and courses can be released on support site.
  • Genesys and Vidyo integration isn't easy and need to have professional services from both sides. Therefore, it's better to have well constructed documents in order to handle integration better.
We're launching a new mobile bank application and hence we would like to interact with our Customer(s) easily. Therefore, ClicktoCall (voice, chat) feature is used for this Project along with chat feature. We got really good and positive feedback from our customers. Similarly, due to regulation, we have to use video channels for our Customer who have disabilities to contact with our Customer representative. Therefore, we have first launched Requestec WebRTC (Video) solution. However, as time goes by we will be launching Vidyo solutions in order to increase customer experience for our customers.

I could split my experience with GENESYS ENGAGE into two parts
1- As an end user for the platform this happened while I was working for Vodafone Egypt for around 9 years. We used to have Engage as a contact center platform that handling most of customer contact channels starting with IVR self-services as well as voice channel and including digits channels for chat and CRM interactions. 2-As a system integrator and technical partner for Genesys that we implement, support and train users on using Genesys Engage services for around 7 years now.

  • Omnichannel contact center platform
  • Open API platform
  • RealTime Monitoring
  • Business Insights and Historical reporting
  • Single user interface
  • CRM Integrations
  • Agent blending
  • AI enablement
  • Cloud support
  • Better Technical documentation
  • Lower prices
Solution is extremely agile and flexible. The new generation of containerized solution would be a game changer since it brings the ease of deployment and ability to get the innovations to a new total different place. I believe it is really hard to find in the competition who would have something similar or even close.

We use Genesys Multicloud CX to handle forecasting our call and chat volumes and scheduling of our contact centers representatives (~700 agents).

It can produce in a relatively fast timeline, very accurate forecasts for our different lines of business as well as schedules for our representatives while taking into account all of their work constraints (HR, Union, Shifts...).
  • Call volume forecasting.
  • Staff scheduling and allocations.
  • Staffing requirements for chat.
  • UI does not feel modern.
It works best if you have a simple routing structure and your agents do not handle a lot of skills simultaneously. It is fast to produce results, compared to similar products from other vendors and it is pretty stable (does not crash easily).

If you are forecasting, planning for chats, it does not handle concurrency, so you will have to use external tools for that. Also, its UI does not look and feel modern.

In my current organization, as a reseller of premium contact center technologies in, we pitch, consult, deploy Genesys Engage and Cloud platforms to our customers and provide professional services along with long term support to them. Apart from helping our customers to transform their contact center solutions with this robust technology, Genesys Engage is deployed for BT's own CX platform across organization. Moreover, during this COVID pandemic situation, we came across the concerns from customer to enable their associates to work from home as well, we found our best solution in Genesys Cloud offering called Genesys Cloud (formerly Genesys PureCloud) which helped our existing customers to continue with their business operations during the pandemic as well which resulted in very good CSAT score.
  • Platform and hardware independence.
  • Easy to scale.
  • Super customizable and rebranding.
  • Easy to debug.
  • Very good after sales Customer Support.
  • Fantastic and easy to use User Interface Design.
  • Adapted to widely accepted network and software protocols.
  • Regular software updates and defect resolutions.
  • Good adaptability to existing CRM solutions.
  • Wide variety of software connectors and adapters.
  • Wide variety of SDKs are available to build custom apps.
  • Very good outbound functionality and predictive dialing algorithms.
  • Very good documentation.
  • Vast community and forum.
  • Centralized Software Installation and Upgrade facility can be optimized to great extent to reduce deployment/maintenance time.
  • The newer web versions of GA and GAX still lack some very good and flexible features of CME (the older version).
  • I can see a very good scope where all the software and services can be containerized (using docker, kubernetes containers) which is still missing.
  • Genesys lacks powerful tools to transform from other platforms (such as Aspect, Cisco, Avaya, etc.) seamlessly..
  • Costlier.
Genesys Engage is very much suited to all fields of product/services. It is the best CX Solution I have came across. The scenario where I feel it to be less suited is lesser number of agents/associates as it comes with a cost. For Businesses with less head counts, customization and infrastructure overhead, Genesys Cloud CX can be selected as their CX Solution instead of Genesys Multicloud CX

Genesys Engage is being used as the core solution of the Contact Center. It currently manages all inbound and outbound VoIP communications [and] it manages the routing to agents as well as the IVR. All the reporting and analytics of the CC are being managed by Genesys as well; helping to get precise metrics and insights to the sales and publicity teams as well as helping the business to acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses. The reporting is divided in[to] historical and real time reporting. While historical reporting is focused to provide statistics and insights to implement long term strategies or control them, real time reporting focuses on the manage[ment] of the Contact Center on a daily basis. The best thing [about] Genesys is the impressive number of configurations that can be done to tailor the solution at the needs of the business. We are currently implementing the eServices solution where we will be able to handle multimedia interactions like chat, email, Facebook and Instagram messages (both private and public) as well as integrations with custom chat services, Whatsapp and WebForms. Email services are already online, having great results on the answer rate as well as the routing to the corresponding agent to answer it.
  • Managing media interactions (either traditional, VoIP or multimedia).
  • Can be customized to your business needs.
  • Easy to use applications but with great depth and lots of functionalities.
  • Highly customizable business rules and routing logic
  • Efficient agent selection
  • Improve the real time reporting to be able to have metrics on an Organization Level.
  • Have more didactic documentation at hand for the customization of the platform.
Genesys Engage is a great solution to Contact Centers. If you manage voice interactions or multimedia interactions, Genesys Engage will have a solution for your needs. All of their solutions are tested and have been validated by several companies around the globe. It's prepared to handle loads of traffic and all their solutions are scalable if needed. It can be multi-site or single site, so it fits your company needs around the globe. So if you have a medium - large organization, either single or multi-site, with any kind of media, Genesys Engage is the Contact Center solution that can fit your needs. In case you have a small organization, I wouldn't recommend Genesys Engage since it can need quite [a lot] of infrastructure. Instead I would go for the Genesys Cloud solution, which it takes away the infrastructure fee and have a more all-in-one feeling, giving you the chance to acquire new features on demand.

The Genesys Engage modules are used in all areas of the Contact Center in NOS, from technical support, to collections, financial, commercial, churn.
It is used for self service as well as for the assisted services. It addresses the problem of integration of the customer information data among the different channels and the different teams and applications.
  • Call Routing - very reach set of features for call routing and attaching information to the calls.
  • Reporting - very powerful detailed reporting with good integration capabilities with the customer data warehouse and Big Data.
  • Self service - very good set of features for implementation of IVR flows with integration of customer databases and external services.
  • Reporting - usually the out-of-box reporting functionalities is weak for the more complex organization, therefore requiring a higher level of customization.
  • Outbound campaigns - some features of the outbound campaigns were not improved for a long time and the high availability solution has some faults.
  • Management complexity - the platform for big installations may get quite complex with several servers requiring a lot of management attention and a big technical team.
The Genesys Engage is very flexible and customizable platform, very adequate to complex and dynamic business areas where the reach set of features have a great added value and bring a lot of benefits. The reach set of SDKs and features is very useful for complex integration with the customer and external data.
This is not the best platform for small contact centers with simple or no integration requirements.

We are currently using Genesys Engage within our consumer services division. We will be expanding its use throughout the organization in the coming months. We are using Genesys Engage to improve customer engagement, reduce human-agent interaction, and reduce call handle time. Our existing interactive voice response (IVR) system is outdated, and this is primarily a modernization effort.
  • Routing
  • Third-party intergrations
  • AI
  • Audit logging
  • Systems support
  • Cloud support
Genesys Engage works well in complex scenarios with a variety of fulfillment systems. If you have a diverse customer base and/or product family, Genesys is a good solution. On-premise Engage is starting to go away, so be prepared to go to the cloud. If your IVR system is fairly simple, this will still work well but is rather expensive for those needs.

We use Genesys Engage for our customers to easily integrate their current backoffice systems with their customer contact center.
  • Integration with 3rd party products
  • Flexibility of creating specific customer journeys
  • Integration with the current PABX system as so to not create too much confusion for end-users
  • More intuitive routing design tools
Creating custom integrations with applications already used within the organization.
It is less suited when used in a straighforward organization without need for specific integrations and if there is no PABX present and PABX functionality is required.

Why Genesys Engage?

CTBC is using Avaya PBX/AvayaIC/Avaya IR/CMS as a contact center platform and among different business units since 2008. The depart included Banking, Credit Care, Corporate banking, Risk management, Collection, Telemarketing, Branch supporting, Internal Help desk. They meet the requirements from the Financial Supervisory Commission. ROC needs to keep the core platform version updated. One thing impacted the decision as always: cost. If the upgrade for the Avaya platform costs 2 million (in USD) without a functional improvement, why would we go with that? Instead, we set up a team including IT personnel (application team, PBX team, voice team) and users (Banking) to investigate 2 things:
1. To form the new target to improve customer experience and enrich the core service in various ways as a digital transformation project. This canNOT be done using the existing platform, considering the impact of recent digitalization on the Banking environment. People are using apps/web more than going to the branch.
2. One unified platform to serve the entire CTBC group (and sub-companies). The management team just finds it is hard to share the technology or service because various platforms had been used among the group. This will be a good chance to see improvement through this change.

After a 2-year survey, they chose Genesys Engage as the platform for us and started a 2.5-year transformation project.
  • Omni channel routing, voice, 3rd-party chat, 3rd-party video, email are included.
  • Amazing Genesys Pulse reflects the current stats in real-time.
  • Open SIP standard helps CTBC during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Active call recording architecture free the contact center location.
  • Voice bot AI adoption in following integration, GVP doing well.
  • Need an experienced team member run the project.
  • To archive omni channel, you need to set up a team to design it.
Covid-19 truly has had an impact all around the world. At CTBC, we had to make a decision to prevent the entire call center staff from losing work. How to do that? Simple--by using Genesys Engage. In the old days, this would have been costly. We'd need to re-configure the Avaya PBX extension and could only consider limited locations. Now, it just takes overnight. The agent packs up their computer/IP phone after work and just went to the new building, found the desk, plugged in the network cable and power. DONE--without any cost. This makes the management team happy.

A less appropriate case would be where you need something simple. It's complicated. Genesys Engage really fits into the scrum method to roll out the service.

  • Documentation sometimes is not very clear.
  • Some features are hard to integrate with other platforms.
I recommended Genesys to companies with very complex business rules that receive a lot of calls or chats. For small companies with not very complex business rules, many features would not be used, so I would recommend, in this case, to use another, less expensive platform with fewer features.

We support and implement the Genesys Engage services used by our clients. Applications are also developed that integrate with Genesys. A complete service is provided to our clients for their contact centers, ranging from voice channels, chat, email, social networks, reporting systems, routing, etc.--everything in Genesys Engage.
  • Available 24/7
  • They have an internal escalation system, which makes it easier for clients to process a case.
  • For question cases or high-level problems, they have good response time.
  • It has very good and complete documentation
  • In critical cases sometimes the response times are not the best.
  • Due to time zone differences, sometimes communication is delayed.
  • Although service in general is quick, there is not always an expert in all services at all times.
It provides a wide and excellent service that covers all communication areas that a contact center may need. The score is a 9 and not a 10, due to the problems that can sometimes arise with customer care.

I'm a support engineer for several clients with Genesys Engage. The client occupies it throughout the organization of its contact centers to provide service on its products.
  • It does well in its entire structure.
  • In addition to voice, inbound and outbound solutions
  • As well as e-service solutions such as chat and email.
  • Improve the interactive insights reporting interface to make it more user-friendly for the novice.
  • That Pulse on your interface may be more like CCPulse in delivering online statistics. It is difficult since it is more thought of as a dashboard.
  • Improve the connection of ETL jobs in the GIM Manager.
Obviously, it is a robust solution for large companies, therefore it is more expensive according to the modules that the customer wants. Also, where the network is implemented, it must work perfectly and without latency so as not to affect the performance of the Genesys Engage components.

Genesys Engage is implemented by many of our customers. It is not used directly by our organization. It is used to cover the needs they have for their own clients, from information requests, to claims, through sales, delivery, and receipt of documentation, urgent situations, etc. That means that they have to be able to serve customers through the different means and possibilities that exist today.
  • Powerful: It can be used for very large organizations
  • Modular: Adaptable to different needs
  • Complex architecture: Some modules are made up of many components
  • Infrastructure requirements
  • High learning curve for the end user

Genesys Engage can do many things simultaneously and all well. It is very well suited to handle interactions through many different channels. It provides a centralized point for managing the resources of a contact center.

I consider it less appropriate for small companies. They do not normally have the resources of all kinds necessary to implement, use, manage, or maintain a solution like Genesys Engage.

We use multi-tenant Genesys Engage to provide our customers with the Contact Center as a service. Also the same platform is used internally across the entire organization to service our customers' requests. It allows our customers to contact sales and support departments via e-mail, voice and chat. Customer interactions are routed to the right persons and logged/recorded which allows managers to estimate the service quality and take appropriate actions.
  • Rather robust and mature SIP stack allows simple integrations with telephone infrastructure.
  • Powerful and flexible outbound engine.
  • Allows voice, e-mail, chat, SMS interaction to be handled similar way with the unified metadata attached to those interaction allows to identify customer interaction history and thus better serve requests.
  • CCPulse out of the box reporting application fits to the common CC business use cases with not so much customization which can be achieved without programming.
  • Good API interface allows 3rd party integrations if necessary.
  • Powerful routing engine.
  • PBX capabilities (numbering plans, provisioning, centralized phones control, etc.) are not so good.
  • Recording architecture can be better.
  • Too open architecture sometimes makes supporting more difficult as customer has to apply to different vendors to support different CC subsystems (e.g. Microsoft/Oracle for DB support, HP for hardware, etc.).
Good for large Contact Centers especially when different communication channels and (or) outbound dialing is required. Good for the Contact Centers which have to be integrated to 3rd party applications. Not suited for smaller organizations when only voice is enough or companies with small IT departments as it requires special trained support staff.
