I use Cloud CX as an incoming and outgoing call software. It is directly linked to our patient database so I can access files with one click and know who I am speaking with for approx. 90% of calls. We can easily transfer to internal departments - and consult between reps as well as transfer out to other lines. Additionally, we can set callbacks by rep in the system ourselves for future dates if follow-up is needed. The system also allows tracking of productivity for each rep as well as on a teams basis. I can view my assigned schedule in the system and get reminders of breaks, meals, and callbacks as well.
  • Direct link to client base
  • Allows for self review of targets and metrics.
  • Provides a one stop shop for activity overview and productivity.
  • I would like to be able to link back to a client when a number comes up that isn't linked - so the next time the call comes in it will recognize the patient.
  • I would like it to pull families when the same number is linked to multiple accounts or give the option to do so.
  • I want to generate favorites for transfer for reps or supervisors I often use without having to search for them.
Call management is key - and I love the active live view of the call queue and reps on and active live time of activities. It excels in giving broad-based access to performance metrics individually and in a way that is healthy competition-wise as well. It should have more flexibility with scheduling so if breaks or lunches or nontraditional it should not cause issues with reporting or have to be scheduled in a way that is not accurate. It would do to have more tutorials on the various amounts of tools for end-users - and I do not see those readily available. I am sure there is functionality that I could use as an end-user to self-manage even if my supervisors or the teams are not taking advantage of any features.

Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) is used across the complete organization. There are several teams using it for various uses. Like some teams use it for collaboration through chat and audio calls, while some use it for knowledge management as well. One technology cutting across all units of the organization and even enabling customers to connect is the biggest challenge solved as I see it.
  • Enterprise chat platform
  • Enterprise audio collaboration tool
  • Contact management
  • Knowledge management
  • Video calls
  • Scheduling meetings
  • Connecting with calendars
  • Well suited for:
    • Chat-based collaboration
    • Audio-based collaboration
    • Contact management
    • Knowledge management
  • Less appropriate for:

This is our sole contact center platform for handling in/bound customer and patient calls. The current volume is about 140 users and 50-60k calls per month. We also use Genesys Cloud CX for call quality/evaluations and workforce management.
  • highly configurable setup
  • platform stability & call quality
  • simple user interface
  • accessible and reliable data
  • out of the box, canned reporting functionality is limited
Genesys Cloud CX is a highly integrated and configurable platform. So if you are looking for something easy to install, configure to your needs, scalable and sustainable for growth, this product is packed with current and ever-growing features and a competitive price.

Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) supports select departments in our organization. Utilizing Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) has empowered all of us with the use of the collaborate functionality; it's deepened the inner-connections of our organization. Of all the similar tools I've used in various employment roles and at the university, Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) has been the most adaptive, flexible, and powerful tool. The majority of incoming interactions flow through Genesys Cloud. (Updated, 2022: we subsequently began using this platform for all reporting and analytics. I have former colleagues who tout their own platforms' reporting suites, but I can't imagine being able to do much more than you can do with Genesys Cloud's reporting mechanics, especially after updates in the past year or more. You can now create virtually any report you can imagine.)
  • The knowledge-base provided by Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud)--in the form of the community, resource center, developer center, knowledge network, beyond training program, company webinars, etc.--is top-notch. There is no similar array of programs by any similar company, to my knowledge.
  • User-friendliness is priority with Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud). From the use cases documentation to platform API to managed phone requirements, there are ample detailed descriptions, helpful guides, and tutorials (both written and video) to ensure you have a user-friendly experiences managing Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud).
  • AppFoundry extends the capabilities of Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) to ever-expanding territory. The possibilities of useful power tools are nearly endless with this marketplace of assorted solutions, from A to Z. This is one of the many ways Genesys has increased production for their Genesys suites. AppFoundry is like an app store for your virtual interaction center.
  • In my experience, most difficulties that have arisen with Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) usage stem from users who are not particularly tech-savvy. If you have team members who are a little old school, you might consider generating a plan to defend against vulnerabilities or lack of knowledge. Implement it knowing it may take longer than you anticipate for those users who need extra assistance.
  • (Updated, 2022: the minimalist approach to certain interfaces [including search fields, filters, etc.] sometimes does slow the learning process for new team members.)
Problems happen with any system. When a user or multiple users have an issue with a particular web browser, you might need to pull the console logs from that browser for the Genesys support team. This is not difficult, but Genesys makes it even easier with their resource center guides.

we use it integrated with Salesforce to allow us to route all interactions to the correct agents within the contact center. We use all aspects of WFM functionality as well to allow us to ensure we are appropriately staffed to meet the demand from our customers. The integration with Salesforce allows us to have a full 360 view of the customer.
  • Integration with other systems
  • all applications for admin in one place
  • user friendly interface
  • WFM - no holiday accrual functionality
  • better text to voice
easy to use as an administrator - no need for customization as most functionality is configurable as standard. The user interface is easy to navigate and logical - for example following the call flow is simple and makes it much easier to make changes than it was in Pure Connect (the previous solution).

We are using the platform in our call centre for inbound and outbound blended campaigns. In our Corporate Insurance Department, Marketing, Finance and HR departments in a conventional PBX type format. We have remote workers post COVID and have three sites and 5 Brands supported by our Genesys Cloud Org. We have now incorporated the Chat, SMS and Email into the platform unifying our communications across the business and we will be adding Whatsapp and Bots this year. It provides us more stability than we were used to with our previous communications provider. Since we built and started using the Cloud solution going "Live" at the begining of 2018 we have been impressed with the rapid addition of new features and benefits that have appeared at a remarkable pace. We have tried and tested third party integrations for FREE and have several in operation which add to the features embedded in Genesys Cloud and have enjoyed the call transcription added for FREE under the Genesys Cloud 3 licencing we purchase. Overall, we find that the fit and development of Genesys Cloud fits perfectly with the direction of our business and provides us with everything we require.
  • The constant development and release of new features really have us enthused about how the system will grow to meet our changing needs
  • Scaleable and flexibility to move from Office to remote working
  • Stock MIS reports are expanded by the addition of views which are customisable and schedulable
  • Community Forums, Developer centre and GCAP are really good for "go-to" solutions to occasional issues encountered
  • The Telecoms Platform is extremely stable - which is so important for our business
  • Growing number of third-party vendors providing additional functionality
  • Ease of Use for supervisors and staff
  • Genesys Cloud App and Browser options
  • Voice Transcription included for free on the top tier licence
  • Easy to compile Dashboards
  • Workflow Management
  • Workforce Engagement
  • Training, Evaluation and Monitoring is a breeze
  • First-line support is still slow but remedies are easily obtained using the Communities and knowledgebase removing some of this frustration
  • The Ideas management could be refined and improved to be more geared towards the users priorities for the release of new features
It works for our call centre really well. The scripting is basic and easy to deploy, the flows can be produced in architect in either simple or complex routing plans and these can be used across multiple queues without the need to replicate the item. Our other colleagues who just use desk phones find the software interface easy to utilise. We added Chat Email and SMS easily and we are adding Social step by step starting with an easy Whatsapp integration and a further addition of AI (chatbots) during 2022. Blended Inbound and Outbound, Callbacks, voice transcription training and competance and workforce engagement are all here to use.

We use Genesys as our phone system for both internal and external clients. This product is very useful because we used an app in the past so we were at the mercy of the app being up and running at all times.
  • Website Interface (used anywhere)
  • No waiting for software updates
  • Interface is user friendly and easy to set up
  • Resource guide needs to be more user friendly
  • More walkthrough videos
When we are reaching out to clients it is helpful that we are able to keep track of those calls efficiently. Incoming calls will have both the area code and state where they are calling from. This makes it easy to transfer to different departments. One area that needs improvement is running reports from the admin side. It is very clunky and there are too many options

Our customers have big concerns about upgrading the on-premise solutions they use. When the pandemic started they wanted to move their agents to work from home, but there were a lot of limitations with their existing platform. Therefore, we proposed Genesys Cloud CX, which addressed their main points. Additionally, the flexibility of self-service integrations and social media integrations added extra value to the end-users to contact agents.
  • Self-service
  • Social media integrations
  • Quick set-up and flexibility
  • Less effort to maintain
  • Improvement of outbound dialing capabilities is required
  • Dashboard and wallboard enhancements
  • Add more telephony routing capabilities
Genesys Cloud is capable of handling enterprise-level contact centers. If customers have multiple telephony systems for back-office and contact centers, Genesys Cloud CX can easily introduce a single platform to manage all the back-office and contact center agents. With the growth of non-voice interactions, organizations can add these channels to get feedback from their customers rather than depend only on the voice channels.

This is a great software that helps me to get in contact with my clients to help them get their debt with the IRS resolved as well as help them with back on track on their tax filings. This software has really good sound quality and with a lot of features to be able to transfer live calls to different departments in an efficient way without disconnection and keep clients happy with our service.
  • Transfer calls.
  • Quality sound and connection.
  • International calls.
  • Lots of features like voicemail and caller ID.
  • Video calls.
  • 3 way calls.
  • Conference calls.
It's great to check on teammates' availability or if they're in a meeting, as well as checking on the volume of their calls to check their productivity day by day. Also, change their status if they forget to set it on the correct one when they're out on lunch break or in a meeting.

  • Intuitive.
  • Cloud.
  • API call limitation.
  • Soft phone development.
  • Email channel.
Genesys Cloud CX is the right tool to set up a medium contact center platform. Easy and intuitive to handle. Good if your centers using it have good internet comms (webRTC). Not well updated for legacy setups by using softphones or old channels like emails.

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.

MSP deployed Genesys Cloud across our organization to replace an older Genesys PureConnect system. The system allowed us to remove all tethers to a physical data center and our corporate location and gave us the flexibility to work remotely. We have deployed skill-based routing for all interaction types and leverage the ability to do complex call routes in Architect which is much simpler to use than prior telecom systems.
  • Soft Phones.
  • Skill Based Routing.
  • IVR and Telephone trees.
  • Recording features.
  • Password expiration alerts and policies.
This is a very robust phone system that can enable your agents to work remotely without access to a corporate network. This system is easy enough to spin up and unless you require complex routing rules, queues and call paths can be implemented in just minutes. We highly recommend this system for anyone who needs to implement a cloud phone system with little telecom expertise.

Genesys Cloud CX is being used as our primary method for managing incoming calls into the business, with a view of using it for managing all communications in the future (SMS, email, etc.). It's being used by all front-facing teams, though we may expand to non-client-facing departments in the future. It allows us to control the movement of calls more easily, with far better reporting than we previously had available to us.
  • Configuration tools to build call flows and determine number routing.
  • Responding to customer queries and problems on their help website.
  • The initial build and set up by the professional team was knowledgeable and extremely efficient.
  • Needs greater flexibility in its org/division separation to allow for more customisation based on business needs.
  • Easier bulk amendment tools for user profiles and attributes.
  • Better instructional material on their resource website -- some of it is out of date or difficult to follow without a background in call management.
Well suited to call management scenarios, both remotely and within the office. Less suited for colleague-colleague communication -- we use Microsoft Teams alongside it, and focus mainly on customer contact with Genesys. Ideal for companies with lots of branches who have differing call intake needs and want to customise their agents' own experiences.

Genesys Cloud is being utilized by our Loan Servicing department. We hope to expand usage to more departments in the future.

[One of] the business problems that Genesys Cloud addresses is that it provides a more robust call center than we were previously utilizing, which is a must during the COVID pandemic where we are seeing increased call volume and the need for hybrid work environments.
  • Extremely customizable setup with endless possibility of integrations and call flows.
  • Fantastic API with a plethora of documentation as well as built in test modules right in the documentation.
  • Customizable dashboards that users can set up to their liking and get all of the information they require for monitoring of users in one place.
  • Reporting is very canned and not at all customizable. This makes simple data extract[ion] a tedious proposition that requires utilization of the API.
  • Some documentation is out of date and/or difficult to find depending on the topic which can lead to difficulties in initial setup.
Genesys Cloud makes a fantastic resource for a medium or growing business' call center. It can support multiple teams and allows the monitoring of chat and email as well which many companies are looking to utilize. Functionality of Genesys Cloud cannot be beat at its price, but some small businesses may be priced out of utilizing it.

Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) is used to manage inbound calls and outbound calls for our call center as well as hosting our internal application that is used for chats and other application data. It allows our agents to have calls managed by queues and have them triaged through call flows without writing code.
  • Core telephony support is easy to use and manage.
  • APIs exist for a huge majority of app functionality
  • Support is responsive when we have issues or questions.
  • Documentation is not as easy to search as other applications
  • Seems like frequent slowdowns or issues with any non-critical service
  • Terminology in the tool is not always obvious where to find
I cannot vouch for its chat functionality, but it is great for managing call traffic both inbound and outbound. Basic administration is straightforward, and with the APIs, you can do a lot of custom work if that fits your use case. If you have a small to medium size call center, it works well. I am curious if it would support a very large team well.

We have an approximately 100 person call center and have over 50 inbound numbers that split out to a variety of different teams & departments. We needed to ensure that all calls are handled promptly and by the correct team. We wanted a cloud-based solution, as we didn't want to maintain much/any on-prem equipment.
  • Very easy to configure as an administrator.
  • Even easier to use for the end users.
  • Frequent updates with just a refresh needed to apply them.
  • Support isn't great.
  • Still young, so it's missing a few features, although they are starting to fill the gaps.
  • Some things aren't customizable as, being a cloud solution, it can be a bit one size fits all in some respects.
Well Suited
- Small to medium call center environments where IVRs & queues are required.
- Corporate environment instead of a PABX. Useful for communicating around the business and handling incoming calls even without the need for queues and flows.
Less Appropriate
- Very large environments where massive amounts of features are required. This will change over time as more features are added.

Genesys Cloud is being used across multiple departments, consisting of around 175 users. Combined with other solutions, it provides us with PCI Compliance, agent development and evaluations, work-from-anywhere, in-depth call routing via ACD and IVR, in-depth reporting and stats, scalability, and resilience.
  • Reliability
  • Scalable
  • Cloud-based work-from-anywhere.
  • Screen pops and CRM integration.
  • More ringtones needed: Only one provided and it gets very irritating when in an office.
  • Email interactions function needs refining.
As we are still in the grip of a pandemic, using a cloud-based UC and CC solution, as Genesys Cloud, is invaluable to allow our people to work from home or anywhere with the internet. As everyone is provided with a laptop and headset, we can guarantee 100% uptime of our Contact Center.

We are a gold partner for Genesys and we are implementing Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) to our customers in the EMEA region. Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) is being used in most business fields (insurance, health, delivery, booking, etc.). It's used to achieve a better customer experience by providing an omnichannel platform with powerful administrative and development features to achieve complex business requirements. It was showing its capability during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the remote agent setup was very quick.
  • Calls and digital interactions transfer capability
  • User friendly with smart UX
  • Easy to understand and support
  • Easy to integrate with (RESTful APIs and SDKs)
  • Powerful CLI (Command Line Interface) feature
  • Agents gamification feature, which increases the productivity of the contact center
  • Continuous improvements and updates
  • Outbound
  • Call disconnection experienced
  • Callback callflows
It's very well suited for small, medium, and a little bit large contact center businesses integrated with all needed platforms (CRM and DevOps). It's also well suited to connect different channels (voice, emails, chat, and messaging) into a unified tool by easily agent utilization and reach a better customer experience.

Genesys Cloud is being used for our mental health call center, which contains about 100 employees overall between all the departments that use Genesys Cloud. This is a 24/7 hotline and the Genesys solution addresses our need of reliability and cloud-based solutions. Especially during these times, when there is a great need to be able to work remote, this product helps with that.
  • Reliability: This solution boasts a constant uptime and it uses a website to prove and display which services are up and running.
  • Simplicity: Designing and administering call routing is simple and easy with the Architect interface.
  • Mobility: With both the web app, the desktop app, and the mobile app, Genesys provides a way to connect on the go, or in the case of emergency.
  • Headset compatibility: There's not exactly a list of compatible headsets, so we had to find working models through trial and error. Thankfully this seems like a one time problem.
  • Mobile app: The mobile app is extremely basic, and needs a lot of work. Ideally this app would allow agents to use a web phone, but currently it only allows forwarding to the cell phone.
  • Transferring: For some reason, there is not a clearly labelled way for agent to conference in another line. We figured out how to do it eventually, but it should be much simpler.
Genesys Cloud greatly suits companies that need constant up time. As with any cloud solution, it's also good for remote work. It suits my needs--the needs of a smaller call center. I can't say either way if this would fit a larger one.

It's not as appropriate if you are looking for a solution that contains a CRM. The contacts function of Genesys is very basic, and doesn't allow searching in most cases. If you have a lot of clients, it would be better to use an external CRM, or choose a program that can integrate with Genesys.

Genesys Cloud [(formerly PureCloud)] is currently being used by the whole company. It allows us to easily and quickly contact our clients, access voicemails, create reports, and it even helps us interact as a team and as a company. The fact that we have so many employees makes it hard sometimes to know who does what and what department they are in, before Genesys [Cloud (formerly PureCloud)] we would have to ask around but now, communicating with other departments is a breeze.
  • Very Intuitive
  • Allows for easy, high quality calls with our clients
  • Creating tiers for the queue allowing for calls to go to the right people.
  • Reporting
  • Monitoring Calls
  • Whisper Mode
The language feature on [Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud)] allows for easy, intuitive and fun use. Genesys Cloud is quick to implement and requires very little training. Transferring calls is great. Selling and customer service is definitely made easier by Genesys [Cloud]. If you're looking to keep track of what employees are doing and how efficient they are being with their time, then Genesys [Cloud] is a great tool.

Genesys Cloud, at the moment, has been the basis of operations for the company to be in contact with all of our clients. This system has helped the company thrive in sales, and have fewer dropped calls and other issues than other phone systems that we have used before. It allows us to work as a team and simplifies transferring calls, receiving calls, reports of calls for the day, week, month and so on. This system is being used by the whole organization and it works perfectly. There hasn't been any issues from my part. [The] only issues we've had is due to other problems like internet connection which does not involve the use of Genesys Cloud.
  • Receiving and transferring calls.
  • Call Reports.
  • Easy to use.
  • Voicemails at hand.
  • Missed calls notifications.
  • Three-way calls.
For instance, all of my missed calls from clients always have some sort of notification that they have called or left a voicemail in order to quickly get back in touch with them. This helps me and the company itself to bring in new clients and help grow the business.

The only scenario that I can say that I have had trouble with is when making a three-way phone call and then trying to transfer this three-way call to another colleague. Still haven't figured out how to successfully do this.

Quality of the calls are very high and really contribute to the department. Genesys Cloud could be more efficient. Frequently is very slow to download the recordings that the department needs. Sometimes the page likes [to] freeze and we need to restart the page and repeat the process again.
  • Visual page.
  • Intuitive personalization.
  • Easy [to] learn functions.
  • Download recordings.
  • Pages freeze.
  • Error in the recordings.
It is very useful for companies who need to save their information well and can access [it] any time. Additionally, the support is very high and professional all the time. They want to help to fix any problems. To solve [them] they have accurate procedures to improve the products [they] are selling.
