Overall Satisfaction with Genesys PureConnect (discontinued)

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
  • When emergent needs arise, this has always allowed us to deliver the right response quickly.
  • PureConnect suffered a bit from stagnation in the Alcatel era, accelerated when Cloud CX came out
PureConnect was selected 20 years ago, and it does show its age a little -- but like a high-quality machine tool, it continues to deliver value far longer than anyone expected.

Did Genesys PureConnect (discontinued) live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Genesys PureConnect (discontinued) go as expected?

No

Would you buy Genesys PureConnect (discontinued) again?

Yes

Steep learning curve, rewarding once you master it.
Once you get to the right support person, support is knowledgeable and deeply versed. But you have to get to the right person.
It's well-suited for complex environments in complicated call centers, and scales out predictably. I wouldn't go there today, as on-premise is passe, but it has been a stalwart companion nevertheless.
