Reviews
(76-100 of 103)Great Job with Genesys!
- The intelligent Routing is a very good product. This is part of the most important component across the company to support all the traffic of our interactions. This is able to manage cross Geo Routing and select the best agent available accordingly to the Biz rules.
- Realtime reporting is also another product that works very nice and with high standard of effectiveness and precision of the numbers reported. The way to you can access all this info make really easy to start working on numbers and take decisions in order to improve the service level.
- Customer desktop integration is some of the bigger issues we experience that affect that affect in a big escale mostly the voice channel. The integration with SDK products sometimes is difficult to identify issues on controlled environment. Then after find some issues the usual time to get it fixed is long.
Genesys PureEngage way to go.
- Only one platform to answer clients needs through an omnicanal approach.
- Helping us to be able to blend inbound calls with back-office work to improve agent efficiency.
- Making possible and easier to improve the whole customer experience.
- Workspace Web Edition Agent Desktop on Eservices support.
Genesys Engage is less well suited for smaller contacts centers with lack of skilled people and lower budget.
Review from a telco engineer
- Reliable performance of Genesys applications in spite of the installation on VMs
- Range of features provided
- Flexible to interact with other web service for IVR customization
- Cannot cancel call back call after agent accepts preview
- Agent can still go ready when headset is unplugged but call is actually rejected by SIP Endpoint
- Screen recording is tied to voice recording for blending agents
one of the best contact center solutions in the market
- Provides a good call center experience to engage with customers, prospects.
- Can be customized to our environment.
- user training is available and is done well.
- Better support for the platform as such from the vendor since they seem to have limited experts in the field.
- Also when doing upgrades to the solution, please be aware of all the inter-linkages and ensure the impact of upgrade on the inter-linkages as we have found that at times links get broken.
10 years of experience with Genesys PureEngage at a glance
- Omni-channel architecture, one platform for voice and digital channels.
- Scalable, enterprise-grade quality.
- Excellent Professional Services.
- Future proof: always trying to stay a step ahead of market trends.
- On-premise products slow to adopt cloud infrastructure (hybrid / public cloud).
- Missing configuration management / DevOps strategy for on-premise solutions. External tools (like InProd) are required to fit the gap of configuration management between dev/test/prod environments, and for configuration audit.
Genesys PureEngage Review
- Genesys Engage products are being used for IVR purpose for one of our client.
- It is used by users to get information or to raise an issue regarding the client product.
- We use phone/email/fax as our services now. Evaluating to use social media.
- It provides round the clock support for different regions of the globe with different language skillset.
- Genesys Engage products cover end to end automation of client IVR requirements.
- It has good reporting features to analyze the available data.
- It has good workforce management features to get good ROI.
- Genesys PureEngage product has integration issue with MS-CRM product as its getting out of service.
- Genesys PureEngage product [GA] should have all the features that Config Manager Editor has so users can use either of them which he prefers.
- Genesys PureEngage should have a feature so that end to end call flow can be shown/tracked either in GA or CME, instead of going to logs and checking.
PureEngage works for us!
- Genesys Voice Platform (GVP) offers endless customization and is super flexible.
- Inbound routing is also super robust and highly customizable.
- Outbound helps our customers save a lot of hours of work by automating reminders.
- With incredible customization sometimes comes incredible complexity.
- There are many ways to do some things, which can get difficult on occasion.
Our Journey with Genesys PureEngage
- Genesys Engage team does a great job partnering with us on identifying the highest value services we need to run our business.
- The Customer CARE team started weak but has really committed to improvement and are now staffed to ensure the right level of insights and telemetry are on the platform to alert us of any issues.
- Overall commitment to our company has continued to grow. They demonstrate this by placing on-site resources and meeting with us regularly to continuously improve their delivery model.
- They started very weak with regards to their NOC capabilities on our PureEngage platform. Insights were weak, and their auto detection of incidents was so weak that we often knew of problems before they did.
- There is some missing functionality on their cloud platform compared to their legacy product. We have about 40 feature requests in the pipeline, all of which are needed.
- The NOC needs to be fortified, but I believe they are doing so and also have a dedicated team of CARE professionals that are helping with the monitoring of the SaaS solution.
A short story from a Genesys user
- Routing - deliver the client interaction to the right attendant.
- Proactive - call to clients and transfer them to an intelligent IVR that can solve problems and offer new products.
- IVR - provides personalized experiences with our CRM integration.
- we were able to organize and prioritize the back office tasks and obtain reliable metrics through the use of IWD.
- WFM with intervals of 10 minutes
- We really liked to use Kate but is very difficult to use new Genesys products in Brazil because our Genesys partner doesn't have to know how to implement it. With Genesys Brazil support I hope that we can implement it.
- I, as a Genesys client, would like to get access to Genesys Care portal.
For us Genesys Engage is very helpful in management customer contacts across multiple channels directing the client to the correct agent according to the desired solicitation. We improved the client journey with Genesys and we can see that in our NPS survey results.
We still not use Genesys WFM because we need an interval of 10 minutes. We are waiting a new realese with this interval.
Genesys helps us to deliver customer care including customer retention, collections, claim follow-up, general inquiries; also we use the platform to perform telemarketing direct sales for a variety of products.
- How the different communication channels converge on the agent desktop (Workspace Desktop.) It's very intuitive and helps the CSR to have a context of all the interactions that the customers had, no matter which channel they like to use.
- The robustness of the platform is great, we had almost no downtime; this helps us to always be able to serve our customers.
- The openness of the platform. You can integrate it with a broad range of third party products and internal systems we have in place. This helps us to have the right data, giving our CSRs the tools they need to perform their jobs easily.
- Provide more examples of integration with the WDE, also in the Developer training there is only one chapter to customize WDE. This could help to improve the integration time.
- The cost of the platform could be improved.
- The reporting for the eServices platform (email, chat, social media) could be better; it would be great to have easier integration with business data.
Genesys PureEngage great solution from a great team
We have constant requests to improve and shorten the average operating times. The process to develop and promote to production environment strategies and subroutines is long and cannot be automated.
- There are a lot of solutions and applications than can be used for the business.
- It's very customizable.
- There are constant reviews, updates, and hotfixes.
- There should be more practical examples about how to use functionalities.
- It's difficult to know how many licenses are we using.
- Processes of learning, implementing, controlling and managing features are expensive.
Genesys - strongly advice
- As an all in one solution, the whole parts of Genesys Engage solutions work together excellent. They also very good integrastion with third-party products.
- Reporting of all components is well structured and well designed. Also management of dashboards/applications is very easy.
- Installing, managing, and troubleshooting of environment is easy.
- Genesys PueEngare solutions have to come with video-chat ability. Of course, some good third-party solutions can be implemented but we [think] that this part should be a Genesys product.
- The web version of Genesys Agent Desktop or a toolbar with the same functionality should be developed. Nearly all enterprise applications are developed as a web application.
- Genesys App Automation Platform (GAAP) solution have to support native mobile SDKs, both IOS and Android platforms.
- Blending of multiple incoming channels (Voice, Email, Back Office) is key to keeping a good variety of work to our agents and keeping them engaged and occupied.
- Genesys Engage is a mature and resilient product. It has provided us with 99.999+% availability over the last 6+ years.
- The ability to distribute back office work via Genesys iWD has allowed us to get terrific insight into the metrics for this previously not-tracked work.
- Some of the newer interfaces developed for PureEngage are not yet as mature as the older interfaces. Often a you can use a new interface for 90% of features but also need to leave legacy interfaces in place for the remaining 10%.
- Licencing of the product is complex and inflexible. It is not possible to change one licence type for another (e.g. email to web chat) as business needs evolve.
- Costs for maintenance and ongoing support increase over time. The vendor adds an arbitrary percentage to the cost of support each year that is in no way linked to inflation or any other price index. I know they are not the only IT vendor to do this (milking existing customers for more money each year for the same products) but it seems to punish brand loyalty rather than reward it. This will be the single biggest driver of customers away from the product over time. For any new customer thinking about PureEngage, make sure you calculate TCO over a number of years.
Robust product
- End to end view of customer interaction through chat and voice. One stop shop for consolidated view of consumer interactions - chat, voice and email.
- Good soft pop capability to present relevant information for agents
- Licensing construct needs to move from perpetual and media based licensing to blended agent approach to allow fexibility
Genesys heavy user feedback
- It aggregates all the medias and provides a uniform interaction platform
- It easily integrates with third-party solutions and homemade applications to provide a seamless experience to users
- It is a very robust solution
- It is very good at providing tailor made solutions matching complex business needs. If you leverage its sdks and the Composer development platform, almost nothing is impossible. You are never stuck with a closed and limited solution.
- Applications should be migrated to micro services to facilitate day-to-day operations and improve performances and scalability.
- Some interfaces should be refreshed (wfm for instance) and even recently renewed ones could be more user friendly
- Pricing is high (it really is a premium product), some capabilities are optional and should be included in the core packages as they are key to take the most of the platform (especially the sdks and infomart)
PureEngage Review
- Routing
- OmniChannel Desktop
- Reporting
- Technical documentation for the solution
- Workforce management
Genesys PureEngage Review
- The solution is flexible and powerful enough to satisfy users. Such as, applying complex business rules for routing.
- IWS is customizable; each team (inbound, outbound, collection, etc.) uses a different version of IWS which is customized according to their needs.
- Social engagement tool doesn't support all social media platforms like instagram, youtube, etc.
For voice interactions, it is well suited.
Less appropriate;
* Dialer doesn't take into consideration inbound calls sent to outbound agents in predictive mode.
* Sentimental analysis doesn't support the Turkish language.
* Social engagement tool doesn't support all social media platforms like Instagram, youtube, etc.
Genesys PureEngage Review
- A unified platform for all media interaction routing and reporting.
- Nearly endless options to configure and customize the applications, user experience, and customer experience.
- Frequent upgrades and enhancements being released.
- A large number of features and options can be complex. The applications could benefit from a starting standard set where settings are designed to a "gold" standard and then changes away from that standard would only get done if there is a reason to do so.
- The sample Routing strategies and IVR application designs that come with the application gives an idea of what can be done, but they aren't a starting point for a "gold" standard design. Having the application come with a full set up starting routing strategy and IVR design would go a long way to helping organizations to start using the applications faster.
- Application logging and the large number of different applications all logging can make isolating issues very challenging.
What is Genesys for us?
- The most important thing is the reliable framework.
- Easy management. Well designed support portal of administration for IT.
- Easy modules for business requirements. Business departments can do some of the business decisions on the system portal.
- Genesys made continuous improvement and development of the modules.
- Silent monitoring and whisper coaching support from CCpulse.
- Automatic user import feature can be added, for example from human resources application. It would be nice if we could schedule it via Genesys admin.
- Genesys Pulse can not show statistics instantly and configurable controls in CCPulse+ are not found in CCPulse (sending email, scripting, etc.). It can be added.
- Entry-level training given in Turkey may be given advanced training.
Satisfied Customer
- Blending of interaction types
- Efficient workload handling
- Robust system
- Reporting can still be made more easy
- Enablement of new channels
- Faster implementation of add-ons
Genesys PureEngage
- It accepts seamless unified & customized reporting.
- It works well with other features of the business, CRM and Genesys Interactive Workspace.
- Customer engagement has been achieved effectively.
- We have just started using the system so no cons available for now.
Genesys PureEngage - The future of CX with your organization!
- Omnichannel according to me is the greatest strength of Genesys Engage. All components are Genesys components, allowing for seamless unified & customized reporting and a great customer experience.
- Genesys is an open system, therefore, can integrate with various aspects of our business. For instance, we have completely integrated Genesys with our existing CRM solution.
- The ease of managing the day to day operation, dashboard customization, etc, are a value add.
- Honestly, since we are a new implementation, we have not yet encountered any cons.
Genesys
Our Genesys solution is currently integrated with CRM and other Scripting platforms in order to offer a pseudo omni-channel solution.
- Supported through multiple VoIP vendors
- Focused on the high market solutions
- New version support virtualization
- Stable, but with bumpy starts
- Support out of the box integration with cloud CRMs
- More extensive APIs for Email and Voice
- Dynamic and do-it-yourself reports
- Scripting
It's well suited where we have a multitude of VoiIP solutions throughout the organization and/or an installed base of contact center modules.
I would advise it when the client would already have a centralized Genesys platform and wanted to incorporate more locations to its enterprise. For example when we have an installed base and the client just wants to buy a new PBX, no matter the manufacturer of the PBX. We are using the platform for our Contact Center outsourcing services. We are using Genesys as an ACD and CTI. For the other modules like for example Scripting and Reporting we are using other solutions that were built internally.
#1 Vote for Tool of the Year - Genesys Contact Center Portfolio
- Genesys Contact Center Portfolio allows us to easily configure complicated routing designs.
- Genesys Contact Center Portfolio allows us to easily forecast resource requirements based on historical trends.
- Genesys Contact Center Portfolio provides us user friendly, out-of-the box reporting for real-time call and agent availability monitoring.
- Some features I would like to see BCBS of TN take advantage of in the future include agent dashboard reporting and management dashboard reporting, including real-time metrics and historical metrics.
- Additional features I would like to see BCBS of TN take advantage of in the future include integration with employee HR systems and Genesys Contact Center Portfolio for time off requests.
- Lastly, I would like to see BCBS of TN take advantage of management alert notifications when call queues reach a specific wait time by email or to a dedicated monitoring board.
- Call routing has been a major factor for us as we can route the calls to the proper skill set who can answer the calls properly and efficiently
- Reporting. This has made things extremely easy to pull the reports for us to get to our financial teams and adjust how many users we need on the phone
- Support. They listen to the needs of the customers and make the updates as needed
- Some of the reports are difficult to get to the data you really need. You may need to export the data to cross reference with other data to get the answer.
