Reviews
(1-25 of 59)Genesys Contact Center Porfolio
- 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.

Basic needs fulfilled and easy to use
- Basic setup
- Simple design
- Basic UI
- Minimal funcitonality
- Needs love and investment from developers to make it better
- Not adaptable or extendable
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.
Genesys for Sales
- 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
Learnings of moving to Genesys Multicloud CX
- 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
New to Genesys, but liking it
- 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.
- business adaptability
- customizeable to a epic extend
- bulk user management
- extremely stabile
- some features require some very specialized people to develop
- the ease of use, could be easier, maybe more like Pureconnect and Purecloud
- the admin user interface should be as easy to use as the user GUI
Genesys Multicloud CX at Work
- 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
Genesys PureEngage Experience is Service Made Easy
- 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.
Genesys PE : Simply best
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
A fast WFM software
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.
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.
CX Champ - Genesys Engage (formerly PureEngage)
- 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.
Good product
- Toast - data dips into CRM.
- Multichannel routing.
- GCXI reporting.
- WFM
- Speech Analytics
Big and complicated for big and complicated companies
- Scale to support large agent populations.
- Scale to support large call volumes.
- Highly flexible in interaction flow design.
- Administration of interaction flows is incredibly complex.
- Environment upgrades are incredibly complex.
Practical solution for today's CX needs
- Cloud environment
- New features and upgrades
- Omni channel experiences
- Speed of implementing new ideas
- Forum for suggesting new ideas
- CARE team responsiveness
- Genesys documentation/videos
A good solution for complex problems
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.
This is not the best platform for small contact centers with simple or no integration requirements.
It just works
- Great UI. Everything is logically structured within the portal.
- It just works.. there's no fiddling required.
- Everything we need in 1 platform.
- It's huge, understanding everything initially can be overwhelming.
- Some system changes cannot be done inhouse (adding virtual queues).
- Finding support is not always easy when using a vendor (not a Genesys issue).
It handles workforce efficiencies with the WFM tools (shifts and breaks - adherence).
It covers business continuity and disaster recovery functions through emergency messaging.
Most functions are able to be performed in house (changing ivr and callflows) without contracting out.
Changing messages is easy with the media resource tab, all changes can be done on the fly.
Genesys is the large call center's best friend
- Workforce Management
- Windows install & Linux install
- Speech integration
- License management
- Reporting
An area I think Genesys Engage would not be suited is a small, <100 agents, call center.
Why Genesys Engage?
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.
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.
Great product for better interaction handling
- 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.
Genesys Engage has been consistently great
- Reporting
- Ease to copy existing objects when adding new users, groups, etc.
- Variety of tools to administer the environment (legacy and new)
- Consolidation of all capabilities into each management tool--some functions are available in one tool but not another
- Tighter integration of Genesys-acquired apps (namely iWD, GMS) into the overall solution--currently they seem very bolted-on instead of baked-in.
- iWD is too scattered across GRE, Composer, and objects--there needs to be a more consistent flow of logic within fewer areas (not jumping through different apps to perform actions)
Genesys PureEngage is not a bad choice.
- 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.).
Genesys has Inspired Us to Deliver Best Customer Experience
- It is a mature enough solution that can satisfy most well-known requirements for voice self-service
- It is a cost-effective IVR platform that will for sure satisfy your business specific requirements
- It is using modern based technologies of web based architecture but with voice platform
- Genesys platform is powerful, high available and fault tolerance as it consists of decoupled software components that constitute a robust voice processing platform.
- I think creating an integrated service that helps implementing TTS and ASR functionality from Genesys them selves will be a great feature. Currently the integration of Genesys Voice Platform with third-parties of TTS and ASR engines is difficult as I think. We face some difficulties when we implemented it.
- In the Arab region, specifically the Middle East region; there is a need to be able to create new and custom grammars for Arabic language ... this will be a great feature that helps Arabic community who are using Genesys platform with Genesys Composer.
- As Genesys Administrator is a web-based GUI to manage, create and monitor Genesys applications and solutions. It will be very good to add a new screen/tab for GA to manage the prompts replacement and versioning of live IVR applications, and another one to manage IVR applications versions and history.
Large and enterprise environments like telecom operators and Government self service departments.
Less appropriate examples:
Small businesses with low calls rate.
5 stars, would invest again!
- The Intelligent Automation product is very useful, it's allowed us to double our automation performance in the past year working with our existing integration points.
- The attached data model is very useful for enhancing our core data set with contact info and provides a great view of performance.
- The universal desktop product has helped us launch additional channels with a large number of advisors with minimal training overhead, once they'd been trained in one channel cross-skilling to others is easy.
- Some of the products are only loosely integrated at the moment - causing us some common mistakes with things like typos between systems causing things to go wrong.
- Some of the limitations in terms of licenses or ports feel arbitrary, and we don't have views available when we're reaching capacity limits in these areas.
- We've used a third-party workforce management solution (NICE) which causes us some complexity! your third party integration could be better in some cases, although I understand the commercial reasons for favoring your own offering.
You won't regret using PureEngage
Collection: With around 1000 agents, doing different campaigns from early, medium and late delinquency, using a predictive dialing majority.
Marketing: Advertising products, telling our customers that they have a credit line available and that their credit line has been authorized.
Sales: Helping customers finish their online sales.
The primary problem that we have is controlling the dialing ratio between our different services, sometimes we over-dial, making the platform crash, but we are able to get it back up and running very quickly.
Another issue we have is the correct use for the call treatments, to use them correctly and be able to dial all the phones we put into our database.
- It is easy to create a campaign, configure it, and put it in production.
- Through CCPulse, it is easy to follow the campaign statistics and be able to make changes to our strategies.
- We are able to know all of our KPI, with detail of every interaction of every campaign.
- Make it easier to create CCPulse dashboards.
- Easier integration between InfoMart and an external BI.
- Better integration with in house CRM.
Genesys PureEnage, A Cut Above the Competition!
- Having used solutions from Aspect and NICE, I feel that Genesys Engage is more user-friendly and does a great job at accurately forecasting interaction volume. Schedule optimization is something Genesys Engage does really well.
- Genesys Engage reports are easy to consume, allowing senior management insights into the health of the business and contact center. Many of our strategic decisions are made using reports from Genesys Engage.
- Real-time queue and agent monitoring ensure that we have adequate support coverage across all intervals.
- I feel that combining Configuration Utility to WFM has resulted in user frustration and made WFM more cumbersome. WFM and Configuration Utility were best left as separate applications.
- I would like to see more flexibility in Pulse to allow reporting from external source. Currently Pulse can only display data from external source using the iFrame widget, which only accepts URLs.
- Interactive Insights is wonderful, but can be better if there are more choices for graphics. More often than not, my team has to export reports from Interactive Insights to Excel so that we can use the available charts for presentation.
