Reviews
(76-100 of 147)Call Center efficiencies through Genesys PureEngage
- Highly configurable and scalable skills-based routing enabling business rules-driven routing.
- Custom historical and real-time reporting.
- Enabled streamlined technology centralization and standardization support high availability and infrastructure stability.
- Consolidation of databases across product suites.
- Single sign-on across application interfaces.
- Improved toolsets for trouble-shooting and performance monitoring.
- Our GVP applications are stable and work very well.
- Our routing engine also works well.
- Call center associates seem to be happy with the WDE interface.
- The Genesys platform is really complex. It has a lot of moving parts which makes it hard to support sometimes.
Genesys Pure Engage is the future
- Quick support
- Quick implementation
- Scalability is easy
- SLA on submitted tickets
- A better customer experience for clients
- This is an omni-channel solution, you can cover all interaction channels such as voice, email and chat. This can also be integrated for social media to interact with customers.
- The solution is extremely capable of handling any type of failure due to the best redundancy methods if configured correctly. Intelligent call routing and feature list in this configuration is the best in the industry at the moment.
- WFM Solution is the most efficient tool for scheduling, forecasting and reporting of contact centers. No extra third-party components are needed for integration.
- The documentation and help on the support website is great. You can solve your doubts by means of the support tools or by opening a case to the specialized Genesys technicians. Your answers are always fast and precise.
- You can also find related cases that are very helpful.
- When creating similar or consecutive objects, it would be good if they could be created [en masse]. For technicians it would be a way to save time and customers would appreciate it.
- Reporting falls short, in the Interactive Insights. In creating your data universe, you will need to enhance metrics with user-created formulas, based upon how your organization measures success.
- It would be nice to be able to manage all the solutions or applications (SCI, OCM, CME, GAX) from a single application. There is the Genesys Administrator, but it does not get to be as good as the Interaction Administrator of Genesys Pure Connect, for example.
Genesys is a best-in-class Call Center product.
- Customized greetings and announcements
- Intelligent call routing
- Excellent support
- Pricing could be better
An asset for CX
- On-time updates.
- I'd like a mobile app to monitor workforce management and agents.
PureEngage, big boss of contact centers
With the growing number of ways in which people connect with each other, our customers are constantly looking for opportunities to make their end-customers' experiences smooth and seamless. This requires being able to maintain the context of customer conversations regardless of the mode they choose, and to integrate closely with information systems to personalize their experience.
Genesys Engage is like a Swiss Army knife of contact center solutions. It has an elaborate, industry-leading technical offering, which is complemented by a support structure second to none. Combining the ease of integration, even with legacy systems, provides us the confidence to address those business needs.
- Consistently rated as a leader in contact center space for past years helps partners and customers build confidence in the offering. This is of paramount essence during any deal sign-off.
- The continuous evolution of the product line to keep up with technology. Genesys Engage makes use of the latest advancements to improve the existing products and introduce new ones as required. Recently, Work Force Management suite got AI-backed algorithms to assist contact center managers in planning correctly.
- Seamless integration with customer systems helps us create a personalized experience for our customer and customer's customer. This includes integration with IT systems to automate mundane tasks such as login processes for users in a much more secure way. Recently, we successfully completed a pilot with a customer on the use of a BOT Gateway that can bridge customers with multiple AI BOTs seamlessly.
- At present, the user interfaces for various PureEngage applications, whether desktop or web-based, are a bit inconsistent. This includes basic functionality, like Single Sign-On, and the user interface look and feel.
- There's a need for mobile applications. Further effort is needed to create mobile apps for business managers (say to allow viewing contact center stats on the go), floor managers (approve leaves while away from the system), operational managers (get important notifications about system health and application status view) etc.
- There's a lack of turn-key designs/ solutions for customers that need the features, but do not have the volume of users to justify spending on multiple pieces of hardware.
Best-fit scenarios
- Complex contact center solutions.
- Geo-resilient datacenter design with minimal/ no local footprint.
- Integration with modern and legacy applications.
- Planning and scheduling large contact center agents.
- Engaging end-customers on various channels.
Less appropriate scenarios
- Lower number of agents/interaction volumes.
- Simple auto-attendant and call distribution.
Great product but always do your research and validate so you feel confident in your choice
- Email/phone routing to one agent.
- Ease of chat widget creation.
- Customer service.
- Helping companies really understand change management.
- Really focusing on what are the gaps from moving from current solutions to new solution vs well you won't be able to do that anymore.
Client engagement from the comfort of your couch
- Provide information about HUB issues that help us to avoid problems.
- Quick response from customer care.
- Very good documentation.
- Constantly releasing updates with fixes of the product.
- More Spanish speaking consultants.
- The ENL of the product must be announced to all the customers.
- Better documentation page; with the last update, some pages come up as not found or that they don't exist.
Genesys PureEngage Review
- WDE customization and Intelligent routing is one the best advantages.
- Genesys WFM solution for forecasting, scheduling and performance reports.
- Real time performance monitoring.
- Reporting integration with other reporting systems.
- Performing changes on new GAX interface is not as easy as CME. Search is really complicated.
- Genesys should research and explore more methods on HA capabilities of components like Stat Server.
Not suited for Strategy free environment.
- Omnichannel routing and reporting
- Intelligent automation
- Flexibility and scalability
- Fully software based
- SCXML session based orchestration
- Interaction recording solution needs maturity.
- Dependencies on open source software.
PureEngage - Complete CX platform
- Genesys Engage is a very strong CX platform to connect to clients on Voice. It provides a single platform to manage all your interactions.
- Genesys Engage gives you OmniChannel features and is an open platform to connect to all kinds of new age ChatBots and Voice Bots.
- It works very well in a Hybrid Environment and integrates well with Enterprise applications.
- Genesys Engage is quite open to changes in terms of Customization, which can lead to setting up complex environments which are a bit difficult to change.
- Genesys Engage is feature rich, but needs a lot of Server Footprint to run the show.
- Genesys Engage has its own voice recording, which may not be extended to other platforms.
Simple and brilliant
- Compliant with finance market regulations
- Multichannel enabled with different flavours
- Support for integration with other platforms
- Huge echo system around
- Sip endpoint based environment using Sip proxy
- Gem solution more American then European
- Including more social media based support like WhatsApp
- Real-time performance views
- Contact information provided to agent - agent and customer experience
- System up-time
- Historical reporting - can be difficult to navigate or integrate with other reporting software
- QA tool does not allow for entry of coaching details
- Voice recognition calibration is poor
Genesys PureEngage: The leader of Contact Centers
We also implement Proactive Chat and Genesys Outbound in order to increase customer experience for our customers. We create proper supervisor processes in order to manage Agent's shifts using Genesys WFM. Agent or call based issues are being solved using InfoMart and Interactive Insights reporting. Genesys IVR for enhanced capabilities is also being used in order to design dynamic IVR functions. This is achieved using powerful routing strategies for voice media channels.
Concluding, we use all solutions from Genesys (SIP, E-services, GVP, Routing, WFM, Outbound etc) and it addresses all kinds of problems that have relation to VoIP calls and Contact Centers in general.
- Tremendous options for customizing to fit any possible business scenario.
- You don't have to buy everything, just the components you need and add them to the current configuration.
- There are constant reviews, updates, and hotfixes.
- Ability to integrate with pre-existing platforms
- There should be more practical examples of how to use their functionalities.
- Licenses price.
Why PureEngage Remains A Market Leader
- VHT as a stand alone model can be easily plugged into to the current call routing with minimal changes and it works like charm.
- Platform SDKs are a powerful tool that help integrate with other third party solutions or to build custom made applications.
- The whole routing solution is amazing . With user friendly composer, you have the option of building both VRUs and routing strategies. And, they are very easy to deploy.
- The level of details for report customization is another strong point.
- Complexity : Highly skilled engineers are required to deploy the solution.
- Troubleshooting with logs is still a pain. Its more of a recommendation to Genesys to come with some software that makes log retrieval easier.
- Very expensive.
Pure Engage:Product of Capabilties.
- Intelligent routing capabilities.
- Speechstorm reports for customer journey and easy administration.
- WFM solution from Genesys for Forecasting, Scheduling and performance reports.
- WDE customization and platform SDKs.
- WDE client and sip endpoint need to be more tightly coupled as both are very sensitive to network fluctuations.
- Performing changes on new GAX interface is not as easy as CME. Genesys should carry on their research on a client like CME, SCI, OCM etc.
- WFM objects should be associated as primary key and secondary key in DB. Sometimes deleting a calendar item or shift without any warning causes issues while running scenarios.
- Genesys should research and explore more methods on HA capabilities of components like Stat Server.
Genesys PureEngage
- Call data on the number of calls received.
- It allows me to report on calls expected vs actual calls presented and adjust baselines.
- Run reports on demand from the customer and turn around the finished product very quickly.
- I would like to be able to add search parameters in a much more user-friendly environment.
Great product - great people
- Easy implementation.
- Intuitive interface.
- Easy to scale.
- Employees find it easy to use.
- Hard to describe improvement opportunities, as the company seems to upgrade often and address issues as they come up.
Next Generation Contact Center
- IVR customization and modification is more flexible.
- Routing parameter is end-user friendly.
- Integration with 3rd party applications I.e Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp.
- Difficult to find training materials.
- A skilled user has been difficult to find.
- Audit functionality could be improved as it is not simple for the end user.
An all in one solution for your contact center
- Ability to use one solution. This gives your contact center a central location for things like routing and reporting.
- Support. Genesys has a top notch support center. Their support team is able to resolve issues very quickly and can help you if you get stuck while developing something new.
- Variation. I really enjoy the various products they have. Since I directly develop for these application at our company, this keeps my job interesting. Every so often, we come across a new product they offer that sounds like it will be perfect for us. This keeps my job fresh and interesting.
- Becoming an expert. If you are new to Genesys, trying to learn all the various parts is a very difficult task. Using Genesys PS is a treat, but trying to do anything yourself will require expertise.
- More specific training. I don't know if this is possible, but I would really appreciate if they were able to provide training directly in your environment. Since all companies are different, it is hard to have a single training that applies to everyone.
The Enterprise Interacting Management Backbone
- Genesys is more of a highly capable framework of components that can be connected and scaled to meet most any performance requirement. There never seems to be any limitation as to how large or small an entire system can be configured and assembled to meet a set of requirements
- Unlike many other competing systems, the open-ended flexibility in configuring routing is the best, bar none. Pretty much whatever integration points and routing logic you can dream up, you can build it in Genesys; there is no practical limitation.
- Technical support at Genesys is also very versed in the capability of their software and seem to be able to understand how it can and has been used by its customers. This provides us developers with a source of online information and support that helps make creating solutions less worrisome.
- The wealth of documentation is impressive and comprehensive. One area to improve might be in more practical examples of configurations that demonstrate how to use features. The definitions of the options/settings may exist but there are examples where putting them all together, into a working solution are missing or light.
- More videos like those for GRS configuration would be great in describing new products and how to use features.
- One trivial request, the support site seems to always ask for PureEngage versus PureConnect when looking for documentation. To me, it doesn't really matter which one it is, but it seems like an extra layer that provides me no help.
Genesys PureEngage - The Future is Here
The platform is designed to handle current demand and predicted demand throughout the lifetime, and be scalable to facilitate expansion both in terms of volume usage and functionality. It's built as a multi-tenant platform.
Below are some key features:
1. The Speechstorm customer journey module helped to analyze the customer experience on IVR. Based on results, actions were taken to delight the customer with more self options to answer the queries and personalize IVR options based on selections done in the past.
2. Last Agent routing enabled faster resolution of queries as the customer doesn't have to explain the problem again, which in turn decreased the AHT.
- Routing Capabilities. Complex Routing Techniques like Intersite routing, Last Agent Routing etc.
- Integration with Third Party services (APIs, TIBCO etc). SDKs for Stat Server and integration with other products like Verint.
- WFM Solution is the most efficient tool for the scheduling, forecasting, and reporting of the contact center. No extra third-party components were needed for integration.
- SpeechStorm IVR call flows and Customer Journey. The self-service analytics made by using Speechstorm reports.
- Discontinuation of old school tools like CME, SCI, OCM etc. Genesys should continue their research on the old school products which were more comfortable and user-friendly to work with.
- Genesys should introduce more in-house troubleshooting tools like Kazimir. There should be improvements to SIP log Visualiser.
- Genesys' offered Workspace Desktop Client should be less sensitive to network Packet Drops. Genesys should make thick client applications deployed via a standard method like clicking on Install only.
This solution also has WDE deployment which is an interface of the agent to handle interactions. This needs more focus as it is not very stable at this moment, or it may be deployment issues in our environment. The Network connects components needs more logging, as many times it gets difficult to find the root cause between network or Application.
Genesys : Computer to Telephony Integration Solution Provider
- Intelligent Routing
- Integration with CRM Platforms
- Customization and Custom SDK's
- There are no cons as far my journey with Genesys so far
- Genesys has always been competitive with the current trend and always up-to date. When the sudden raise of Cloud technologies evolved in the market - Genesys has come with the Pure Connect and Pure Cloud Platforms. It has also started implementing the Artificial Intelligence technology integration with Genesys.
PureEngage is Miles Ahead of Others
- Spoken IVR Routing - It is a time saver not only for customers, but for also developers. With it, customers can just speak their product instead of having to go through a long menu of options
- The additional enhancements that can be paired with it, such as Genesys Callback and GMS, are amazing! We have now integrated Genesys Callback, and because of it, we have tripled our customer's capability to schedule return calls and connect them to someone who can help them instead of the call just rolling over to whomever is next in line.
- Reviewing real time statistics is easy when using Genesys Pulse! The best part is that the resource demand to use it is minimal as it is web based. Other real time statistic systems are program based, which drives down the performance of your computer. But not with Genesys Pulse!
- I would like to see more flexibility with what reports can be run out of Genesys WFM Web Supervisor. Currently, you can only run what is provided within the system.
