Altitude uCI, Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud)
Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) fully integrated with Salesforce (+email for business) is one of the best scenarios that I can describe. I cannot find scenarios in which Genesys Cloud (formerly PureCloud) is less appropriate since it's not a CRM. PureCloud provides a friendly and professional UI that can be embedded everywhere.

Using Genesys Cloud CX (formerly Genesys Cloud)

5 - We are a big team in Mellon Technologies but for Genesys Cloud, we are a team of 6 people with three developers, two project managers and one for sales/pre-sales.
3 - Well, to support Genesys Cloud, you need software/network engineers to support the EDGEs and the platform. Of course it is based on the level of support that you want to give. You need developers only if you have integrations with data actions which are mandatory for support. For integrations, you should have json skills, rest api skills and some js.
  • Cloud Solution
  • Integration with Salesforce
  • Custom Integrations
  • The salesforce connector
  • The cloud solution with no downtime
  • With REST API you can integrate with every system!
  • As contact center

Since we do not have any problem at all except some features that we have voted, all services are working 100% with status page. For every update, we are getting informed with email for the next actions. I cannot find a reason to not renew my use of this product.

Evaluating Genesys Cloud CX (formerly Genesys Cloud) and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
The most important factor in my decisions was about the Product Features. The system provides ready integrations with a lot of companies and CRM's that would be an extra effort. It provides ACD routing which is the best in the market, it is very customizable and can be well integrated with any system.
We did right i believe and i wouldn't change anything about the evaluation and the selection process.

Genesys Cloud CX (formerly Genesys Cloud) Implementation

You have to understand how the product works by reading the documentation many times.
Yes - We started with organization configuration and then with the edge devices configuration.
The second phase was to configure user/roles based on the business of the customer.
At the end, we concluded with ACD and Agent scripting.
  • Read wrapup codes from Analytics API
  • Uploading csv file

Genesys Cloud CX (formerly Genesys Cloud) Training

  • Online training
  • in-person training
Genesys team that provide trainings are friendly and professional. They helped us to understand well the product and the functionalities. The training was detailed with use cases. At the end, we got a task to develop that ended with success and we got some Genesys rewards. It was amazing experience!
At start, i took online lessons with video and self-test answers which was very helpful. After that, i got training on teams and everything was very well documented with examples and use-cases in order to understand and to learn the product at 100%. I believe the online training is detailed and it covers everything.

Configuring Genesys Cloud CX (formerly Genesys Cloud)

There is a limitation that can be better but it has amazing configuration at all!
My best practise is to configure the edge first of all and then to pair it with Genesys Cloud. We register the extensions of the agents and IVR's. We configuration queues and campaigns by using the IVR numbers. Then we create the agents with specific permissions and roles. At the end, we configure the scripts.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
As additional configuration, i will include the data actions we used in order to make integrations. We configured the data actions together with the scripts in order to deliver a nice environment to the agent screen. We handled the errors and the succces messages as a popup dialogs that helps the agen to understand what's going wrong.

Yes we purchased premium support in order to cover all cases of our projects. Because we feel well when we have a proffesional team from behind to support us when we really need help to impement or to configure something that requires an extra knowledge/assistant. With premium support, we are not anymore stressed about the project deadlines.
As i remember, Genesys provided exceptional support last week when we were trying to deliver the project. We had a permission issue when an admin could assign agents and queues from other divisions. The customer escalated the issue to us and Genesys support was there to assist us and to explain in details the steps that we have to do.
