Genesys PureConnect, Oh how I shall miss you!
PureConnect is the heart of our interaction routing, closely integrated with GVP and pretty much EVERYTHING else within the voice part of our world: CRM, WFP, recording, archiving, reporting, and more. It has been a rock-solid part of my day-to-day in moving interactions to the right place, and is one of the few platforms we've been able to consistently rely on.
- Interoperability
- Availability
- Comprehensiveness of solutions on offer
- Upgrade path to Cloud is not as clear as one might hope
- CCPulse was powerful but deprecated, Pulse wasn't a great replacement

Genesys PureConnect Review
PureConnect is being used for it's contact center engine only in our environment. We have two separate production environments, a fully functional UAT and a fully functional DEV environment. We are in the process of phasing out Avaya deployments with PureConnect so the footprint is continually increasing. PureConnect has added visibility of agent activity compared to previous solutions. We are a fully on premise customer, so we do not use CaaS (or PureConnect Cloud as it is more recently referred to). We're using various aspects of self service to allow customers to access information 24x7 even from groups that are only staffed M-F during regular business hours including various different webservice integrations. In addition to the traditional call channel, we are also using chat and inbound email across multiple organizations. With the ease of deployment of PureConnect's current chat (and the migration to the hosted wigets coming in the future) chat is a breeze to have up and running. We also have one agency using agentless outbound dialing for specific functions such as reminders and receipt notifications.
- PureConnect's customization through the c# API, web API and handlers is fairly welcoming to customization with a fair amount of supporting documentation.
- The dial plan in PureConnect is one of the best laid out that I have seen in a contact center product. It is very readable.
- The ability to farm out responsibilities like agent onboarding and terms to department level users through granular security is a real timesaver.
- The ease of setup of the platform of itself is practically unheard of in the call center space. Simple Windows wizards with easy to follow documentation and you can very easily have an environment that can pass BFT.
- The hub and spoke model of services employed by the core engine of pureconnect is very reliable.
- Genesys development strategy over the years has allowed the platform to become somewhat stagnant. Too much emphasis was put on PureCloud which is not an adequate replacement for PureConnect and the platform was only given bug fixes for a few years.
- The built in voicemail function feels like an afterthought and requires user action to complete polling for messages.
- They take far to long to address very basic SCRs (change requests for bugs) unless they are service impacting.
- Their entry level support has degraded somewhat since the acquisition.

We are currently using Genesys PureConnect within several areas of the business. Genesys PureConnect is currently being used to support the management of inbound and outbound interactions with internal and external customers. Aligning more business units to the same platform across the business ensures simplicity and standardisation with our contact offering.
- Moving agents between workgroups is simple across ICBM and Administrator.
- Being able to configure elements of the system is useful as it removes the dependency on Genesys themselves.
- Adding other areas of the business can be done efficiently.
- Attendant login being isolated to one user at a time.
- Having to request access to containers when the need arises as opposed to having access to all containers when first accessing the platform and completing training.
- Tailoring release notes to customers as not all customers are technically aware of how all new features can support their business strategy.

We use the PureConnect system to handle a range of needs for the Hospital and its employees. It ranges from pre-registration, insurance questions, making payments on bills. For the employee side we assist with pay roll issue, benefits questions, leave of absents. We have some self service IVR options where the patient can find out information on their account by following the options. The feedback is overwhelming positive as the patient feels empowered and can address most of their needs without talking to an agent
- PureConnect is a true, flexible, all-in-one out-of-the-box solution for your contact center needs
- With this being a true all-in-one it is a reduced cost of ownership vs other platforms on the market
- PureConnect seamlessly integrates with several CRM and WFM tools out of the box unlike other platforms on the market you need custom programing to hook in to these offerings
- Whitepapers, technical documents: there can be a more robust knowledge base with clearer documentation. We have found at time of implementation we hit a wall as the document is missing some items
- More robust out of the box reporting ( which i feel is coming with some of the webinars we have seen with the new analytics
- A way to rename users, wokgroups, schedules or other items on the fly. IE once you create something you have to remove it and start again as you can not rename an object in Interaction Administrator

I was in a Customer handling role in the last 5 years and it's been a year since I moved to the Administration team, working with Genesys CIC server, and I feel it's a great application to learn more about Contact Center operations. So far I feel that the application is smooth, fast and elegant. More to learn on Genesys.
- Easy Administration

- Marquee Packages could have been better

We are using PureConnect as the hub of our connectivity with our students. It serves as our phone system, as well as our contact center solution. From basic connectivity to API calls and database dips for various business needs, PureConnect appears to be able to handle most everything we throw at it. It's helpful with process integration from a user perspective, as well as the customer.
- The flexibility of Genesys PureConnect, supported by SDKs and APIs is what makes this solution stand out for me.
- As we've improved our back-end processes regarding how we classify, prioritize, and handle our contact records, our campaigns have been more successful via the dialer system.
- The ability to add additional attributes/key values to these interactions has allowed us to gain knowledge we have used to create more personal experiences.
- The Attendant application allows us to do many things with our calls, from a data perspective as well as providing the best service possible.
- The customization capabilities lead to complexity. Troubleshooting can be tedious at times.
- The support model could be improved, when compared to other contact center platforms.
- Out-of-box reporting is lacking, so larger contact centers will need additional apps to gain knowledge from the data.
- Some key values within the data cannot be easily related, in order to create reports that can drill down from a high level to a granular data point.

Top level view rather than deep dive
We are an outsourcer and use PureConnect predominantly for the voice channel for our contracted contact centre services.
- Robust and reliable enterprise telephony service.
- Ability to flex licensing up and down as our user profiles change.
- Future proofing of services through new digital channel integration, ease of cloud services integration and third party add-ons.
- Simple and easy to use agent user interface.
- Cost of the digital/AI based services are high relative to other cloud provided services.
- Hardware provisioning for PureConnect misaligns with cloud adopted technologies - it's not an evergreen architecture for us.
- PCI integration using a third party PCI provider is harder to implement than one would expect.

I highly recommend PureConnect for your contact center solution
We utilize Pure Connect in our contact centers and have taken advantage of its multi-channel routing functionality. We have a large outbound dialer component, as well as a substantial IVR consisting of over 100+ toll-free numbers. We have taken advantage of some of the built-in functionality: workforce management (WFO/WFM), voice and screen recording, interaction analyzer and Interaction optimizer. We are also in the process of integrating with Salesforce.
- Outbound Dialer: Member engagement is a huge business driver for our company and the outbound dialer really drives that engagement. It is more efficient and effective than any other dialer I have ever used.
- Inbound Attendant: The configuration interface for Interactive Attendant is intuitive and simple to use.
- Stability: We have a high availability environment and rarely ever have to switch to our backup server. The platform runs clean and is reliable.
- I would love to be able to rename and user I.D. Currently, we have to delete and rebuild the profile.
- I would like to see some of the built-in applications like Optimizer expanded upon. I believe there is a 500 agent limit on the size of the scheduling unit you can create.

Genesys PureConnect Review
Genesys PureConnect - CIC is used by the whole company. It is our phone system. All calls are routed and answered in the PureConnect system, ACD calls are routed via the system. It addresses all of our phone needs; it is the way our company interacts with our customers via phone. We are leveraging PureConnect for calls, and voicemails.
- PureConnect seamlessly connect to [our] CRM, with no issues
- Their vast IVR routes call to the proper agents based on our needs, and the way we want it set up, very easily.
- The actual layout for each agent can be customized for each person, and at the same time have the standard view that we want
- They are constantly evolving and update the product to meet user and market demands
- Very good in monitoring and listening to calls
- The out of box reports aren't that good, they need more flexible to pull the data the way you want it
- The management and supervisory functions can use a little more customizations, than just out of the box

- Intelligent call routing
- Stable inbound/ outbound telephony
- All in one suite
- All in one suite should have CRM functionality
- More flexibility in call data.

Genesys plus low code equals happy agents and customers
Our organization integrates within PureConnect to produce all the data and a case management solution for the caller. Integration between the platforms allows our solution to pull up the caller's account information and present a summary of that caller's account and interaction with the organization. From there we can create a case that is contextual.
- Manage inbound calls.
- Record metrics.
- Integrate with solutions.
- User interface is old
- Performance
- Unintuitive

PureConnect Contact Center
Genesys PureConnect is used by our contact centers in North America and Europe. It provides us a reliable platform for customer contact and reporting with the breadth and agility to explore and implement new solutions to drive efficiency and better customer experience.
- We love having omni-channel communications in one centralized platform!
- PureConnect is a stable and reliable solution that I know we can count on.
- 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.

ININ: Genesys review of CIC
Used 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.

Flexible PureConnect for Call Centers
Genesys PureConnect is used by the call center portion of our business and the staff that support the call center.
- Gets the call to the right agent (properly skilled and trained).
- Open sourced and extremely flexible to meet the unique needs of our business.
- Multiple tools available for call-center management and support.
- Support for the product is slowly moving toward PureCloud which is the future.

Genesys Takes You To The Next Level!
We use PureConnect as our call center platform. 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.

You can’t go wrong with Genesys
We 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.

In Oriflame Cosmetics we use Genesys PureConnect in 40 countries and soon we are going to implement it in more markets. It's the best solution to deal with our customers in the Contact Center and provides the best and fastest service possible.
- It saves a lot of time by having everything in one app.
- It makes work easier for our agents.
- It allows us to monitor results in all markets very easily.
- In the web client, there isn't a way to look at an email without answering it.

Improving with Genesys.
We are using Pure Connect in our contact center. The main users of this application are the contact center but some of our other business units in the organization are using components of Pure Connect. Reporting was a big concern as we were trying to amalgamate different info from different systems. Using Pure Connect allows us to use one data source and the information is more reliable coming from an All in One solution.
- Administration of system is easier.
- User-friendly interface for user and administrators.
- The system integrations are more reliable.
- Reports are using old format of PSTN lines and not taking into account MULTIPLE PRI lines which are giving inaccurate data.
- Web apps need improvement and more customization.
- Siebel connector needs improvement with customizing user needs.
