A good solution for complex problems
It is used for self service as well as for the assisted services. It addresses the problem of integration of the customer information data among the different channels and the different teams and applications.
- Call Routing - very reach set of features for call routing and attaching information to the calls.
- Reporting - very powerful detailed reporting with good integration capabilities with the customer data warehouse and Big Data.
- Self service - very good set of features for implementation of IVR flows with integration of customer databases and external services.
- Reporting - usually the out-of-box reporting functionalities is weak for the more complex organization, therefore requiring a higher level of customization.
- Outbound campaigns - some features of the outbound campaigns were not improved for a long time and the high availability solution has some faults.
- Management complexity - the platform for big installations may get quite complex with several servers requiring a lot of management attention and a big technical team.
This is not the best platform for small contact centers with simple or no integration requirements.
Genesys allows to get the job done better
Our clients use it to get in touch with debtor (banks), to collect feedback and orders (builders and insurers). Different channels of communication are preferable to different people. Some really like to use chats to stay connected.
- Omni-channel support.
- Very customizable routing.
- Software based solution.
- Can be integrated with other vendors products.
- Distributed system with failover support.
- More comprehensive information in documentation.
It does its job. Very customizable. I don't know yet any case where it was not suitable. Maybe I have too little experience with it. But it really provides a wide range of solutions.
Genesys PE Cloud lives up to the hype
- Routing
- Third-party intergrations
- AI
- Audit logging
- Systems support
- Cloud support
It just works
- Great UI. Everything is logically structured within the portal.
- It just works.. there's no fiddling required.
- Everything we need in 1 platform.
- It's huge, understanding everything initially can be overwhelming.
- Some system changes cannot be done inhouse (adding virtual queues).
- Finding support is not always easy when using a vendor (not a Genesys issue).
It handles workforce efficiencies with the WFM tools (shifts and breaks - adherence).
It covers business continuity and disaster recovery functions through emergency messaging.
Most functions are able to be performed in house (changing ivr and callflows) without contracting out.
Changing messages is easy with the media resource tab, all changes can be done on the fly.
Genesys Engage review
- System is highly robust and modular.
- System can be sized and deployed according customer needs.
- Genesys customer support is fast and has good knowledge of products.
- Documentation is weak sometimes. One thing is described differently in two separate documents.
- Licensing is not legible sometimes.
Complete suite for integrations
- Flexibility to provide solutions for problems
- Integration with other applications is seamless
- User provisioning can be automated with ease
- Steep learning curve to administer and implement the system
- Routing scripts can be complex
Complete contact center solution for big and small companies.
- Integration with 3rd party products
- Flexibility of creating specific customer journeys
- Integration with the current PABX system as so to not create too much confusion for end-users
- More intuitive routing design tools
It is less suited when used in a straighforward organization without need for specific integrations and if there is no PABX present and PABX functionality is required.
Genesys is the large call center's best friend
- Workforce Management
- Windows install & Linux install
- Speech integration
- License management
- Reporting
An area I think Genesys Engage would not be suited is a small, <100 agents, call center.
Why Genesys Engage?
1. To form the new target to improve customer experience and enrich the core service in various ways as a digital transformation project. This canNOT be done using the existing platform, considering the impact of recent digitalization on the Banking environment. People are using apps/web more than going to the branch.
2. One unified platform to serve the entire CTBC group (and sub-companies). The management team just finds it is hard to share the technology or service because various platforms had been used among the group. This will be a good chance to see improvement through this change.
After a 2-year survey, they chose Genesys Engage as the platform for us and started a 2.5-year transformation project.
- Omni channel routing, voice, 3rd-party chat, 3rd-party video, email are included.
- Amazing Genesys Pulse reflects the current stats in real-time.
- Open SIP standard helps CTBC during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Active call recording architecture free the contact center location.
- Voice bot AI adoption in following integration, GVP doing well.
- Need an experienced team member run the project.
- To archive omni channel, you need to set up a team to design it.
A less appropriate case would be where you need something simple. It's complicated. Genesys Engage really fits into the scrum method to roll out the service.
- Reports in real time.
- Historical reports.
- Fully customized routing.
- Documentation sometimes is not very clear.
- Some features are hard to integrate with other platforms.
Genesys Engage Review
- Available 24/7
- They have an internal escalation system, which makes it easier for clients to process a case.
- For question cases or high-level problems, they have good response time.
- It has very good and complete documentation
- In critical cases sometimes the response times are not the best.
- Due to time zone differences, sometimes communication is delayed.
- Although service in general is quick, there is not always an expert in all services at all times.
Robust solution worthwhile
- It does well in its entire structure.
- In addition to voice, inbound and outbound solutions
- As well as e-service solutions such as chat and email.
- Improve the interactive insights reporting interface to make it more user-friendly for the novice.
- That Pulse on your interface may be more like CCPulse in delivering online statistics. It is difficult since it is more thought of as a dashboard.
- Improve the connection of ETL jobs in the GIM Manager.
Genesys Engage Review
- Can be fully customized to meet customer demands.
- Provides truly omni-channel experience
- Extremely scalable
- Time-consuming to implement
- Expensive compare to Pure Connect and Pure Cloud
For small contact centers and with customers only focused on voice channels, it is advisable to not suggest Genesys Engage as its cost will be on the higher size--PureConnect can be recommended there.
Overall, Genesys call center suite is great, giving developers the opportunity to learn and grow
Genesys Engage is our call center suite and being used across the board.
- Handle voice interactions - customers initiate calls and get delivered to call center agents based on customer intent
- Handle non-voice interaction - chat, email, SMS etc. interactions from customers to bot or real agents
- Manage customer journey for entire conversation
- Realtime and historical reporting
- Rich functionality and features
- Product can be customized to meet different business demands
- Documentation and technical support are well organized
- Hardware demand is high for enterprise. The move moment towards cloud infra is the better strategy
- Some core applications such as configuration DB, TServer etc. are not natively support active-active running mode across multiple data centers
- Real time latency across data centers is always a concern. Not sure if it can get better when migrate apps in cloud
Great product for better interaction handling
- Powerful: It can be used for very large organizations
- Modular: Adaptable to different needs
- Complex architecture: Some modules are made up of many components
- Infrastructure requirements
- High learning curve for the end user
Genesys Engage can do many things simultaneously and all well. It is very well suited to handle interactions through many different channels. It provides a centralized point for managing the resources of a contact center.
I consider it less appropriate for small companies. They do not normally have the resources of all kinds necessary to implement, use, manage, or maintain a solution like Genesys Engage.
I'm an analyst who works with Genesys every day.
- Fewer problems when installation is well done.
- Reliability.
- Customer care support.
- Documentation could be more friendly.
- Some configurations could be easier to do in GIR (Genesys interaction recorder) for example.
- Have more free content for beginners to learn it.
Genesys Engage has been consistently great
- Reporting
- Ease to copy existing objects when adding new users, groups, etc.
- Variety of tools to administer the environment (legacy and new)
- Consolidation of all capabilities into each management tool--some functions are available in one tool but not another
- Tighter integration of Genesys-acquired apps (namely iWD, GMS) into the overall solution--currently they seem very bolted-on instead of baked-in.
- iWD is too scattered across GRE, Composer, and objects--there needs to be a more consistent flow of logic within fewer areas (not jumping through different apps to perform actions)
We recommend Genesys PureEngage!
- Technical expertise.
- Support system.
- Product system is a little bit difficult to understand.
Genesys PureEngage is not a bad choice.
- Rather robust and mature SIP stack allows simple integrations with telephone infrastructure.
- Powerful and flexible outbound engine.
- Allows voice, e-mail, chat, SMS interaction to be handled similar way with the unified metadata attached to those interaction allows to identify customer interaction history and thus better serve requests.
- CCPulse out of the box reporting application fits to the common CC business use cases with not so much customization which can be achieved without programming.
- Good API interface allows 3rd party integrations if necessary.
- Powerful routing engine.
- PBX capabilities (numbering plans, provisioning, centralized phones control, etc.) are not so good.
- Recording architecture can be better.
- Too open architecture sometimes makes supporting more difficult as customer has to apply to different vendors to support different CC subsystems (e.g. Microsoft/Oracle for DB support, HP for hardware, etc.).
