Genesys Cloud CX is our primary contact center platform, globally. We are still in the process of migrating internationally, but North America fully uses Genesys Cloud CX. It solutions speed-to-answer, versatility, and keeping up with the ever-changing experience economy. My department utilizes all interaction types, gamification, and I am looking forward to exploring bots and the knowledge base.
  • Access to data
  • Easy UI
  • Broad functionality
  • The out-of-box reports are lacking. I would like to see more graphical historical reporting.
  • The gamification function is great, but still new. There needs to be more customization.
  • I would like Genesys Cloud CX to tell me/show me areas our queues or workgroups can improve. What is the health of my queues without me having to look for or interpret.
Genesys Cloud CX is well-suited for all inbound interactions. It really puts the information in my agents hands on how well they are performing as a team, and gives me the data as a leader to understand overall performance. I find it less useful in outbound situations. It's just not something my company uses it for.

Genesys Cloud CX is the one-stop shop for a true omni channel experience. We moved to Genesys Cloud CX from Genesys Engage Cloud, and use it for all telephony, chat, and contact centre email needs. We are also robust users of Outbound, finding ways to provide value for use cases other than collections.
  • Easy to change options and scripts
  • One landing page for agents
  • Continuous improvement with cloud upgrades
  • Sometimes basic functionality is just missing
  • Slow to adopt/develop new ideas
  • Reporting
Genesys Cloud CX is great for contact centres who need robust solutions and want to integrate their current operations into one system.
Genesys Cloud CX is probably too much for a really small contact centre, or any company that needs hyper customization.
It's great for scalability and for getting features.

We used Genesys as our primary Inbound engagement channel for our voice and digital presence as well as our outbound collection efforts; by unifying all channels in a platform, we were able to reduce our overall staff without impacting customer experience, in addition, we utilized their Bot service to do Voice containment in our inbound flows.
  • Easy to create Inbound, outbound, and Bot flows.
  • Easy integration with CRMs.
  • Easy to use UI for management.
  • Transfer knowledge from one bot to another.
  • Handling different dialing modes with the same pool of agents.
Good Platform to merge multiple channels, where you need to scale up with quick timelines since flows can be templatized and tasks are easily moved from flow to flow. We are currently struggling to handle multi-tenants with different dialing strategies with a single shared pool of agents.

We manufacture health care equipment like MRI Xray etc. and when customers(hospitals) have enquired/questions, they will reach our customer service through calls, chat, etc. we use Genesys cloud to route the interactions to agents who can assist.
  • Workforce management.
  • Quality management.
  • Screen recording.
  • Dail by name is not available.
  • Call glow log navigation through call flow.
  • Toast doesnt display enough information.
It's the only full-stack solution available in the market which does WFM QM and integration with other applications like Salesforce. If we have to go with a different application, we have to buy some third-party applications. Genesys cloud also offers good reporting capabilities, BoTs, and speech recognition/AL support with different languages will help the contact centers for sure.

Genesys Cloud CX is a very mature solution versus Amazon COnnect. The business problems which are addressed are to provide a high-quality omnichannel solution to drive our business.
  • Voice Quality.
  • Easy to enable users.
  • Quick build via Architect.
  • The Architect could be more seamless to use.
  • Policy maintenance should be easier.
Well suited to provide a mature omnichannel solution.

IVR/IVA, Bot, ACD.
  • Single config/flow interface for Digital and voice.
  • Provide a way to connect 3rd party software/APIs.
  • Call Control and CTI Integration with major CRMs.
  • Reporting
  • Snippet Recording.
  • On Hangup Actions.
With a single flow/config interface, it is easy to build customer-facing voice and digital interactions. We would like to see a roadmap for a more engaged WEM/WFM interface. App Foundry provides plug and plays solutions for anything a digital customer experience provider would need, but we would like to see a pre-packaged, vertical-specific base solution where these 3rd party App Foundry solutions were already part of the pricing package.

GC is used to replace legacy contact centers with a quickly adaptable cloud contact center. Genesys allows contact center deployments to the cloud very quickly, removing the need for costly on-prem solutions. GC also improves development time for new projects, which leads to a better ROI in my customer's contact centers.
  • Allows for quick integration with new products.
  • Simplifies the billing process.
  • Data actions are synchronized, which leads to bottlenecks in performance when calling APIs.
  • Reporting is lackluster.
  • WFM product is very premature.
  • Dialer has a lot of features that could be improved.
  • ASR is built into collect digits in architect, and more programming features in architect are desired.
Medium-sized businesses that want to transition into a cloud Architect quickly.

Hard to say in just 200 words, but we use Genesys for our Dialers, and IVR, and beginning to start email and sms campaigns.
  • User interface.
  • Call routing.
  • Outbound dialing.
  • I think you do a good job addressing these.
The ease of use for agents, ease of use for admins, supervisors, WFM, etc., is feature-rich and ease of use.

We needed a CcaaS that could be Omni channel, support 26+ languages, and manage the workforce along with it. This needed to be for individuals around the world and with varying levels of technical abilities.
  • Omni Channel.
  • Workforce Management.
  • Reporting
  • Additional Social Chats.
  • WebRTC on the client site.
  • Social Chat transfers.
Fully robust platform that innovates faster than we can keep up. They are very forward-thinking and work well in all situations that we have come up against. Migration was one of the easiest that I have done, and support is great.

We recently moved our contact center to Genesys Cloud. It is allowing us to begin streamlining processes and tools to maximize agent engagement, performance, and the CX they provide.
  • Cloud licensing structure is so much better than on premise!
  • Coaching Summary Performance Reports.
  • Agent level Attendance KPI reporting.
I think if you are a large enough scale business, GENESYS Cloud has solutions that are helpful. Figuring out how best to use the options available may be the biggest challenge. I recommend having a fantastic success partner.

I've worked with Genesys On-Prem, and I'd like to emphasize the ease of implementation and speed compared with the old version. There are many self-training possibilities for our users. New features are added regularly, enabling us to continuously improve the solution. There's a lot of scope for innovation to improve our customer experience with Genesys Cloud 3.
  • IVR
  • Routing
  • Recording
  • Data analytics.
  • Dashboard
  • Automation of compilations of data.
Ease of implementation is a major advantage for teams with less experience with the technology. On the other hand, the dashboard solution still needs a lot of work and development. It's not yet a turnkey solution. The quality control solution is still basic. It's a shame to have to pay more with external applications to get access. Although cheaper overall, we expect more solutions and facilities in this area.

This product streamlines the number of different programs we used to use. For example, an agent would have to log into VPN, then open a softphone, then the ACD program, a scheduling program, etc., before they could finally get logged in. Not only did that slow things down, but it was a big hassle for the agent. Now, with Genesys Cloud CX, the agent has everything they need within one application.
  • Phone call routing.
  • Ease of use of architect.
  • Reporting and viewing the queues.
  • Sorting A-Z for some call statistics.
  • Schedule groups/schedules need to be improved so we can manage them better.
  • Filter clearing.
  • When you're in Architect, and you've scrolled to the right, and you click on a box, it moves the screen all the way back to the left.
  • Make a way to hide the box on the right in Architect so you can view the whole call flow.
It's a very good all-in-one tool for call centers. It's highly important to be able to access what you need quickly, and it couldn't be done very well when we were using our old solution. I would say that Genesys Cloud CX wouldn't be appropriate in a scenario where all the features/functionality that Genesys offers.

I primarily use GC for WEM and analytic purposes. Scheduling, forecasting, and intraday support are my main uses for GC.
  • The creation of schedules is incredibly easy and intuitive.
  • Forecasting is accurate and reliable.
  • Gamification is done well and encourages employee engagement.
  • Dashboards can only be set to private or public. There is no in-between, which is desperately needed.
  • There is no way for an agent to sign up for extra hours or time slots based on CX's need.
GC is great for multi-purpose-oriented businesses. I love that everything has its place, and everything that is implemented is implemented well. WEM could use some improvements, like the option to pick up a shift or add time to your schedule daily, but overall everything you need for WFM is in this suite.

We currently use Genesys Cloud CX for inbound and outbound voice and WEM in our contact center. It has helped to bring together many platforms into one interface for our agents. We are working to bring all contact center components to Genesys.
  • Unified interface for agents.
  • A dashboard that's easy enough for business owners to create and manage.
  • Cutting-edge features and functionality.
  • Continual improvements are launching.
  • Historical adherence reporting in supervisor dashboards (has AHT and ACW).
  • Attendance tracking.
  • Manual call scoring integrated with coaching.
  • Coaching session tracking and documentation.
  • Speech and text analytics seem basic.

Reporting, we really struggle with tying our personal data with Genesys data to form a consistent client journey and experience, especially on the outbound side of the business. This includes problems with tagging unique identifiers to calls made inbound and click-to-dial, as well as dialer issues and scheduling, as well as putting parameters to record calls based on state requirements for outbound click-to-dial calling.
  • App foundry.
  • Click-to-dial and SFDC integration, recording, and multiple tabs.
  • Dialers, contact list editing, scheduling.
  • Client information is passed to the interaction level data.
  • Having first and last user data tagged to call instead of semicolons.
It could be really great; you just have to pay a lot for all the extra features and customization to make it that way. Out of the box is rough.

We recently migrated our entire contact center businesses from Avaya to Genesys Cloud. Avaya was a problematic, traditional system with none of the capabilities that we needed to succeed. Genesys gives us all of that, plus a lot more. Originally we implemented all the basic features so that our users could get familiar with the product. Out of the box, the enhancements and benefits are significant, way more than what we could have hoped for or expected. Benefits were realized within the first few days and have grown exponentially every day. Features and benefits are available out of the box; we had very little to do from a reporting perspective and were able to use our old data for metrics. The platform opens us to the opportunity to significantly enhance the customer experience by adding in chat, email, and social media capabilities. We are evaluating how we use AI and automation to enable our customers to get to the c correct agents efficiently and to provide our agents the ability to have the customer data available to them when they are connected through whichever medium they use. The implementations and cutovers were near perfectly executed.
  • Call flows.
  • Data analytics.
  • Customer journey options.
  • Support
  • Account tan.
  • Music on hold options.
  • Reporting
Different business options and outcomes for very different requirements and all in one platform. Music options are not flexible enough for different business units. Basic reporting is excellent but not advanced reporting operations are slightly problematic. Integration options are awesome, and the available APIs are excellent. The same applies to the marketplace. The underlying technology and options are incredible. I do not have enough experience yet in mentioning any other challenges.

Genesys Cloud is our voice and digital contact center solution. We also use parts of the WFM product. We are experiencing problems related to reaching maximum flow size limits, lack of OOB reporting, issues with implementing Milestones and Outcomes, and also security permissions for read-only intent access.
  • Various product offerings.
  • Solutions to solve any issue.
  • Responsiveness to tickets.
  • There are many separate URLs to find information; I'd like to see all of these consolidated into one UI.
  • Voting on ideas is proving not to be conducive to meeting our needs with new products or features.
Genesys Cloud is the leader in the industry; they continue to advance their products to meet the needs of their client base. I wish we had access to Whiteboard to allow for our own Visio updates to save on PS costs. The other challenge is the billing- it's not easy to understand, and hard to pinpoint if we are using our products to their fullest potential based on the price tag.
