Genesys PureConnect is an omnichannel contact center platform that offers cloud-based, on-premise, or managed service deployment options. It features an SIP-based architecture, including VoIP capabilities, which allows companies to connect legacy voice systems and use existing phone systems.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/C8/Rc/U2C1HHG3NHC5.JPEGGenesysGenesys, All Software, One Vendor2019-08-06T19:55:49.758ZWe at Gulf Contact Centers started with Interactive Intelligence Customer Interaction Center CIC 3.0 in 2010. We're a call center outsourcing company offering outsourcing services in the State Of Kuwait. Until today, we have served more than 50 clients using the same CIC Setup which was upgraded to PureConnect in March 2018. PureConnect is used for both for our call center outsourcing services to our clients and for enterprise communication using Polycom desk phones. Though PureConnect is not designed for enterprise communication, it serves basic communication needs. Using PureConnect, we offer both inbound, outbound (using Dialer), IVR services, etc.. To some extent, it serves our multi-tenant needs as well.,Purely Software Based System: On Microsoft OS. It is an all software-based system making it easy to manage, integrate and interface with other systems
One Vendor: All modules, IVR, ACD, Dialer, WFM are from one vendor. So, no compatibility and latency issues at all.
Superb Notifier Service: You don't have to restart any process or service for a change to take effect.,Abandoned Call Management: There's no report/module available to return/respond to abandoned calls. We sign with our clients that we'll return abandoned calls within one hour. But we can't get any report from PureConnect to prove it.
While on Calls, Agents should be able to see waiting calls so that they can hang up the running call ASAP and respond to the waiting one to keep the abandoned rate low.
Flowout calls need to be removed as they cause total entered calls to be confusing.,8,Since we're into call center outsourcing, PureConnect has had an excellent impact on customer service for our clients, resulting in an increased number of answered calls, decrease in response time and hence increased revenues and customer trust. Using Call Arrival Patterns Stats, we're better able to schedule the human resources and forecast for future preparations. This has great impact on staff remunerations as they're engaged for required working hours only.,Genesys stands on high ranking in Gartner Quadrants rating which helps us win service contracts, especially while contesting for public sector contracts. In addition, since the world is moving rapidly to cloud, the flexibility with the Cloud model helps build self-confidence for long survival in the market as compared to other dying competitors.,Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM), Microsoft AccessShahbaz ChughtaiHighly customizable, easy to use, easy to implement.2019-08-06T16:15:09.323ZCertified Languages International (CLI) utilizes Pureconnect (CIC) to support and facilitate our Over the Phone Interpretation (OPI) services and support our Video Real-time Interpretation (VRI) services. CIC's ease of customization and management allows us to customize our voice systems to suit our business needs instead of modifying the business to meet our phone system. CIC is at the very core of our entire business model. It touches every aspect of our day to day operations. CIC faces both the internal employees and our customers and contract interpreters.
We use it to log on and log off our OPI interpreters, keep track of interpretation sessions, collect billing data, and facilitate the communications between our customers and our deep bench of interpreters. We leverage SOAP and custom objects in CIC to track our VRI interpreters as well.
We utilize ACD for call distribution to our Customer Service Representatives (CSR)s and Optimizer added to CIC to handle scheduling volumes for the same giving our customers a high degree of satisfaction. The deep integration with Structured Query Language (SQL) databases allows us to customize our data for billing and reports with off the shelf tools, saving us both time and money.
The ingrained ease of programming and modification allows us to quickly customize our product offerings to meet our customer's needs and expectations. We have added products ranging from complete SIP to SIP data interchange for billing information, language selection and customized customer info to customized Auto Attendant menus that are data-driven vs. hand-built solutions.
Self-serve customer options via IWP and scheduled reports allow us to provide data access to specific types of queries and recordings for use by the customer without bogging down our staff with requests allowing them to be more productive in day to day operations. The wonderful thing about CIC is how complete, easy to use, and robust the platform is. Honestly, it outshines the Myriad other platforms we could have went down the wrong path with.,Automated call distribution.
Data integration and reporting.
Real time monitoring of users, Lines, Line Queues, and subsystems.
Easy to use programming interface and tools for customization.
Easy to understand strait forward documentation with examples.
Homogeneous System Setup and administrative tools.,Switch over!!!!, an Active-Active Server configuration vs. the current active-passive (Primary/Secondary) is outdated given the state of the industry. Allowing for multiple CIC servers, Primary, and multiple secondaries would be ideal! Multi-site is a bit clunky and not engineering/administratively friendly or even full-featured.
Out of the box robust Bulls Eye routing.
Expansion of the IceLib to more areas of the system with deeper hooks.,10,Through the use of self service automation we built in customizations we reduced the need for CSR (FTE) within the organization. Allowing customers to seamlessly acquire language services quickly without having to wait for a CSR has greatly increased their satisfaction.
To us that means a higher percentage of our calls remain within SLAs and calls not requiring a CSR are more profitable.,We have used CIC since version 2.0. It was the only product that met our needs then and the only one that does now. The ACD engine in CIC is second to none. This allowed users to run lean and mean in regards to the number of CSRs that we had to employ, really affecting the bottom line.. The ability to customize the platform made it the only attractive solution for our business model and vertical.,175,3,Customization capability
Data Integration
Ease of use.,Integration with a database of several thousand interpreters that makes outbound connections to them and our customers and connects them together
The use of UUI and customized SIP headers to allow re-sellers to utilize our services. So billing and re-branding happen seamlessly. Identification of the re-seller, their desired language for translation, custom billing fields and more are transferred real time in the invite of the call. That allows use to perform call treatments based on the re-seller and even on a particular customer of theirs.,10Jim BarberYour employees can spend less time routing communications and more time working!2019-07-24T12:06:36.759ZPureConnect is used by multiple departments within the county as the primary contact center point for inbound and outbound calls, emails, and messages. PureConnect cuts out the requirement for multiple people having to continuously monitor our calls and messages. PureConnect also makes it easier to provide the best customer service 100% of the time by always being there and available to route calls or messages to the appropriate person or department.,Pureconnect is highly customizable. The system has so many features that can easily be adjusted or set to accommodate the needs of each business or department and can be changed at any time by the administrator(s).
PureConnect is capable of being the primary contact point for multiple departments within a business. For example, our business is made up of several departments within one building. Pureconnect has the capability of routing the customer to the correct department and to the right person within that department based on their specific needs.
PureConnect has an excellent customer service department. If ever you find yourself needing guidance or assistance with this program, their customer service will be right there able and willing to help as needed.,We have found that it does take a little bit of time to receive a response from InteractionSupervisor/Administrator/Attendant.
PureConnect could use improvement within its sales department. It takes a bit of time to get requested information and demonstrations of the program.
The system does seem to get bogged down when it is trying to handle several cases at once.,9,Our customer satisfaction percentages have gone up significantly. Wait-time has decreased for customers. We have saved money and increased staff work completion percentages and time completed in because we were able to eliminate the need for multiple staff members being required to handle all of our communications each day. Now instead of answering calls and messages, these employees can work where they are needed.,I was not involved a whole lot in the decision making of switching over to PureConnect but from what I have been told, this system has amazing reviews both for their product and customer service. Several surrounding counties and other businesses had also recommended that we look into potentially switching over to PureConnect.,Zendesk Chat (formerly Zopim)Kristen ReevesFull Control with PureConnect2018-02-20T16:58:48.653ZPureConnect is our sole contact center engine for the routing of inbound and outbound emails, chats and phone calls. We use it for our call center and for 100% of our business users, inside and outside our organization. The PureConnect platform enables our organization to maintain full control of our contact center while enhancing our product offerings over our competitors.,Ease of use of the PureConnect systems, from an Administrator experience to our Supervisor tools and end-user Desktop platform. All of these offerings are extremely “feature rich” which provides high customization, real-time awareness and enables us to deliver a silky interface to our end-users.
At EMS, since we provide contact center outsourcing, our environment doesn’t operate as a single company with multiple departments, but rather as numerous companies with multiple departments under one roof, each with their own unique contact center preferences delivered with precision through EMS and Genesys.
At present we are managing roughly 500 phone numbers, 400 workgroups, 200 Inbound Call Profiles, 200 users and 50 roles with PureConnect.
We are a CaaS Local Control customer, meaning that our voice traffic stays onsite at EMS, but we leverage PureConnect cloud servers in a geo-redundant environment to route our interactions.
EMS Provides support and services via Voice, Email and Chat with the ability to also turn-up SMS. With the Genesys system we are confidently able to achieve all of this with a single FT dedicated EMS Genesys Administrator.
The Genesys sales and support engineers are the best in the business.
Any ideas or questions that need addressed are quickly and accurately addressed with a phone call or email to our Customer Success Manager, Service Delivery Manager or Support Team. The support we receive feels genuine and the demonstrated sense of urgency is not based upon the number of seats we occupy.
The Genesys PureConnect platform is highly customizable and we have yet to truly run into any roadblocks with system configuration and feature sets. We are only limited to our own creativity.,Reporting. Why can't I get individual interaction details from cradle to grave? Most importantly on "abandoned" interactions. PureConnect sums and averages all of your interaction data by half hour intervals and therefore dumps the individual line by line data. We want to know if someone abandons a queue, what date/time they called, their number, wait duration(s) before disconnect, workgroup and etc. This just makes no sense in comparison to the competition. The rest of the canned reporting is useful and works well.,8,Moving from Echopass to PureConnect we quickly achieved over 2000% in our ROI.,echopass,GoToAssist, Microsoft Office 2016, SonicWall Web Content Filtering Services, Microsoft Exchange, Ubiquiti Networks UniFi, Wireshark, Visual Studio IDE, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Salesforce Community Cloud, Zendesk, SugarCRM, NetSuite CRM+, Google AnalyticsChristopher KaldenbergPoints of the decision to introduce PureConnect and the mechanism realized2019-05-17T14:17:45.329ZOur company sells office supplies online. Our company uses this product in all of our customer service departments. There are approximately 700 seats available. Among them, the average number of active seats is 550. There are a lot of inquiries about delivery about the handling products. By using functions such as IVR, we introduced them to process those queries efficiently. Also, our company has a small number of members in the information system department. Therefore, we introduced PureConnectCloud to reduce internal system operation tasks.,We introduced PureConnect Cloud to dramatically reduce our system operation tasks.
As call flow configuration change is easy, it can respond to sudden operation change immediately.

I want a batch download and batch upload function of InteractionAdministrator user information and WG information.,10,At our company, I think we could reduce the cost of operating the system by about 15%. About setting change such as call flow. In the system before PureConnect introduction, although it took about two months including the time of meeting with the system vendor, with PureConnect it is possible to change in 1 day at the shortest. This has significantly improved the speed of providing customer service.,1. About customer service. This has a function that contributes to the improvement of customer service. Staff with expert knowledge respond to customer inquiries as primary contacts (IVR function). The site manager changes the distribution of received power of the CM to minimize call loss in response to fluctuations in the type of inquiry and the number of incoming calls (management and maintenance functions)
2. About growth and evolution. We can follow the service evolution of our company. Functional improvements such as work efficiency, usability, and security level are implemented regularly and provided free of charge. It is possible to respond quickly to the addition or change of service (call flow change, IVR setting change self-maintenance function). You can easily expand the inquiry booth and add more bases.
3. About security backup.

It's easy to integrate.
PureConnect has a great UI.,Reporting is terrible -- canned reports, as well as the available report data in the database for custom reporting.
It's missing popular features like scheduled callbacks, a more robust dashboard (e.g. how many calls in queue vs. callbacks in the queue), and the ability to change names.
The WFM lacks features found in many other WFM solutions. Customers who transition from something else to Optimizer usually regret it.,8,The remote usability has been the biggest thing for us.

We currently have around 1000 agents and they all sign in using PureConnect products like Interaction Desktop to take calls and ICBM to monitor. I use applications like Interaction Administrator and Interaction Attendant to manage and provision the platform and we work with the Genesys team to manage servers and other infrastructure.,Their platform is pretty rock solid as far as staying up and doing what it's supposed to do.
They provide ample documentation that I can use to fix problems myself.
They're quick to answer the phone when we need help.,Their support leaves a little to be desired at times. Sometimes I feel like we know more than their experts do.
The unplanned switchovers have to stop.
I'd really like to know that things like single sign on are going to work the way they're supposed to at all times.,10,The biggest impact Genesys Pureconnect has had at our organization is that it's dramatically reduced the time that agents spend on the phone, which in turn has dramatically reduced costs. With the predictive routing, we've dramatically reduced abandon rates and improved agent productivity as well. It's made the whole call center process a lot smoother and easier so that the agents can focus on the calls and the callers have a pleasant experience.,The characteristics of Genesys that factored into our organization's decision to select PureConnect were reputation and a strong product. We needed to know that our call center is going to be up and stay up at all times. Even a few seconds of downtime can equal huge losses in revenue so we needed to go with a product that we knew would work 99% of the time.,Cisco 2000 Series Connected Grid Routers (CGR 2000), Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls - PA Series, Teleopti WFMBradley LeonardOur path to the best customer experience2019-07-25T20:10:55.065ZWe, at Universal Assistance, use the PureConnect platform all across the organization.

Now we reduced them to 5, reducing the talking time and improving the customer satisfaction,We decided on Genesys as a vendor, because they have great products, a vast and strong ecosystem and a very high reputation for innovations. Also it gave us the chance to move to the cloud, and create a hybrid environment, without losing our investment. For us, they are very important assets, plus the technical quality.,VMware ESXi, Splunk Enterprise, Check Point 4000 AppliancesAriel DorfmanWhy Choosing Genesys PureConnect was the Best Decision we Made in 20182019-03-22T23:05:04.523ZPureConnect has proven to be the right choice for our company in bringing together functionality that typically exists on multiple platforms and doesn't play well together. Moving off of our Avaya PBX in 2018 has positioned us to exploit the latest communication technologies. Once limited by our platform, using PureConnect has provided us so many options that our limitations today are tied directly to our own creativity: if we can dream it, PureConnect's features and open architecture allows us to do it. Out of the box with no real strategy changes, our contact center found itself much more efficient. Over the past year, as we have started introducing Omni-channel strategies, self-service IVR, real-time analytics, smarter call routing, etc., we are learning just how much more can be achieved-- and we're just scratching the surface. Integration with our in-house developed contact compliance system looked to be a large undertaking: 100% of all outbound calls are not permitted to launch until PureConnect receives permission from the compliance system. The system tracks historical call data and manages business rules based on client and regulatory requirements. Using handlers and the IceLib API made this project much easier than we had anticipated. One of our best investments was the training and certification of our software developers. I love the fact that Genesys invests as much as it does in R&D. I am confident that Genesys will continue to be an innovator in the communications space and will continue to support PureConnect. The largest frustration for our company is that Genesys is growing so quickly that they appear to often have trouble handling inquiries about new functionality: their marketing team does a fantastic job wetting our appetite; however, to receive additional information or schedule demonstrations (ex. "Build-a-bot workshop), it can take a lot of follow up/escalation. Would I recommend PureConnect to others? I already have.,PureConnect is a single platform; therefore, everything works well together. With other solutions, we have experienced communication challenges between our core phone system and predictive dialer, our call recording solutions, our speech analytics solution, etc. With PureConnect, those issues are 100% solved.
We often like pushing things to the limits. We have experience writing custom software solutions with Avaya and Asterisk (FreePBX). Using PureConnect's handlers and IceLib API has been a total game changer: we have gone from taking an R&D approach trying to find a way to do something to having multiple solutions available to us to accomplish our goals. The design, training programs, and documentation have been very well received by our software development team.
Blending multiple communication channels and being designed to accommodate whatever is coming next has addressed our current needs and has given us confidence that PureConnect will continue to serve consumers in the future.,WFM does not handle both inbound and outbound. It's the one component that needs to be provided by a third party.
There is not enough sales support to handle requests regarding new functionality. To get basic information and/or demonstrations can take time and effort.
Tracking changes would be a good feature to add (perhaps with rollback functionality).,9,Without making much of an effort, we were able to reduce the number of staff in our call center while maintaining performance. We are only starting now to make use of additional features that PureConnect offers.,When selecting a new contact center solution, we looked at many products and settled on PureConnect (originally when we started looking at it, it was still CIC). The Genesys acquisition of Interactive Intelligence was the icing on the cake for us: with a product that addressed all of our needs and the commitment from Genesys to support PureConnect and invest $200MM/year in R&D, we felt very comfortable moving forward.Eric WittkoppThe real life saving solution!2019-07-05T11:35:27.668ZIn Oriflame Cosmetics we use Genesys PureConnect in 40 countries and soon we are going to implement it in more markets.

Reporting capabilities put useful information in the hands of our team.,Interaction Feedback reporting lacks a lot - we get very limited data and can't really use it to interpret the survey data.
The PureConnect for Salesforce integration is somewhat limited—here's a lot we can't do without using the Salesforce Object Routing Connector, but that poses its own issues.
The integration with Aspect eWFM has been a nightmare.,10,We have reduced costs and improved customer satisfaction since moving to PureConnect. Our agents like the platform and have easily adapted to multi-channel on PureConnect.,Genesys' financial stability and position in the market definitely impacted our decision to implement CIC several years ago and to stay with them with the move to PureConnect this year. The global presence and cloud/hybrid deployment options were also keys factors in selecting Genesys.Verified UserGreat software, easy to customize.2019-07-28T03:04:01.364ZWe use this across our entire organization, at multiple locations in multiple geographic areas.

It has multiple redundancy options for backup.
Its easy to manage and make changes.,I would like the administrator program to be updated.
I would like more virtual server ability.
I would like the costs to decrease.,9,We have improved agent utilization, increased our reporting capacity for workforce management, and offered better hold times to our callers.,The ease of implementation and ability to customize things were the biggest factor in choosing Genesys.,Salesforce Commerce CloudVerified UserPureConnect2019-07-27T15:46:49.648ZIt is currently used in the Call Center for call routing, workforce management, and quality assurance. It allows us to understand our customer's behavior and route them to the right person to help.,Call routing to the right user.
Monitor and capture agent screen and customer speech content.
Creates opportunities to further efficiency.,The WFM system called Optimizer is missing automation and key functionality out of the box.
Canned reporting is limited.
Dashboard to visually display KPIs.,7,With the implementation of PureConnect, we have greatly increased our agent efficiency and call monitoring capabilities. We have been able to speak to more customers and support higher revenue growth. The platform has given up the opportunity to grow through a number of different channels and speak to our customers the way they want to be spoken to.,Genesys as a company is really looking to push their product forward and has made the conscious decision to grow quickly to a cloud-based solution. Their customer-focused vision aligns with our business and supports where we want to grow as a company.,ADP ezLaborManager, Google AnalyticsVerified UserININ: Genesys review of CIC2019-07-27T15:00:38.880ZUsed by our customer call center all over North America by the electronic tracking center, custom brokerage, train Reporting, dimensional load, service delivery, CN police, help desk, and travel (future). The latter is considered "internal' users and there is the more traditional Call Center user, the first group of users are not using the call center as it was meant to be used, they act more like account managers rather than Call center agents.,Call handling

Data storage,9,The impact from our past experience is that we had an application called APROPOS which was complicated yet very effective to use in our current e-mail intensive environment, therefore, the Genesys product is compared too often to this application, and due to Tracker, the retrieval of transactions are slow and at times return an error, this has caused a great deal of frustration and cries for the return of EVault, APROPOS' data store.,We attempted to provide our business users with an "off the shelf" product with little to no customization. This did not work out as planned, the tailoring that had to be done with custom handlers has complicated our upgrades and at time require PSO help to migrate out TRACKER software. We have not achieved success in reducing these customizations.,Avaya Aura Call Center Elite, Avaya Nortel Ethernet SwitchesVerified UserYou can’t go wrong with Genesys2019-07-25T14:07:27.335ZWe use it mostly for our Customer Service Departments but, do have some users set up as a business user. We have our IVR built into Genesys which customers can call into and receive account balance and listen to their transactions.Our IVR has cut down on the calls that come into the Customer Service Department and the time the Agents would spend with the customers going over account activity.,Functional and easy to use. Clean interface makes it easy to navigate.
Support is always eager to solve any issues and answer any questions.
Very easy to deploy a large amount of phones.,I would like to see additional training or knowledge classes available remotely.,9,We implanted our IVR for customers to call in and receive account balances, listen to their past transactions, transfer money between accounts and pay bills. We found a decrease in our abandon rates and agent hold times.,We were using Interactive Intelligence prior to Genesys taking over. The company was already using Interactive Intelligence prior to me being hired.,Solarwinds Samanage, Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution, CenturyLink Enterprise Voice SIP ServicesVerified UserGenesys PureConnect (my overview)2019-03-22T22:39:29.643ZAcross all of Atos RTS. We have offices in Clovis, NM; Fargo, ND; Chengdu, China; Monterrey, MX; and Manila, Philippines. We use to as our VoIP solution.,We've used the product prior to Genesys when it was called I3 and owned by Interaction Intelligence. ICBM is a strong component to the Telephony platform with its seamless monitoring inbound/outbound phones calls.
The ICBM application also allows for the creation of quality assurance surveys that can be customized by the end user. ICBM also gives the ability to search and retrieve call recordings.
The customization aspect via handlers is also a strength whereas my team has the ability to create modifications within the system to change the way calls are handled, change the IVR actions, etc.
The Genesys technical support teams do a fantastic job at providing the support needed to resolve a large variety of issues/concerns that are encountered. Typically the team does a great job of keeping the consumer in the loop when tickets/incidents are raised.
The Testlab site for validating products that work on the platform and also Windows Updates that have been tested is fantastic! This really helps out with teams that handle multiple facets of IT rather than just one aspect of it and it makes WSUS and Windows Update-related patching an absolute breeze because seldom does the uncertainty lie in whether or not a particular update will break operations on the platform.,The licensing aspect of Genesys can be overwhelming from the perspective of someone taking charge of the process for the first time. The portal does a great job of showing bundled licensing, however, the support teams sometimes tend to fall short providing proper clarifications if any confusion is encountered whether it be with the licensing process, or with a particular licensing-related question. Typically, the licensing support team does pretty well, however, there are times where the issue or question needs to be restated in order to get a proper detailed answer to proceed.
While the knowledgebase has greatly improved over the years, the community site forums still tend to present some struggles, specifically with keyword searches. While I realize it's difficult to really fully finetune community-based knowledge, it would be nice to see an indication of which particular posts actually include a valid resolution and which do not. I feel this would improve the quality of the overall community-driven self-support aspect/facets of the product.
The biggest fall short aspect is the media servers. Specifically, that the support requirement is that they are to be physical servers rather than virtual ones. From a technical standpoint, this makes sense, however, from a business/cost savings standpoint, for a company wanting to move to SaaS or any virtualization, there will be support-boundaries herein that the media servers will always need to be on physical hardware.,8,Overall I feel the Genesys call platform with its customization and streamlined feature sets have allowed Atos RTS to increase customer satisfaction with our client and also enabled simplification/streamlining from a call center management perspective. It has simplified the challenge of ACD-based call routing.,Interaction Intelligence was originally who owned the product before Genesys acquired. Little to nothing has changed with how the product operates and that is a good thing. What I mean is that when Genesys acquired the product and rebranded it, it did not drastically change how the product is managed/operated.,Symantec Asset Management Suite, Verint Workforce OptimizationVerified User
