Overall Satisfaction with NICE inContact CXone

Currently, the system is being used throughout our Operations departments both internally and remotely. It allows us to handle inbound/outbound call traffic while providing multiple reporting options for use internally and for our clients.
  • Reporting
  • Audit features
  • Call system interface
  • Integration with our systems (system "handshakes" sharing data to internal software).
  • Connectivity issues using integrated softphone software. (Randomly dropped calls, issues accepting inbound calls, software slowdowns, etc.)
  • The "Schedule" feature needs reworking. Having to put your phone in available status to be able to work a scheduled item is counterproductive when that same status has you take inbound calls. If in available and an inbound call comes in, you lose the scheduled item and have no means to access it again or see your notes/information relating to that scheduled call.
  • Ability to change/update interface without major changes/costs. Initially, we requested features in the software that we no longer need (Text fields, disposition areas) and we have been advised they cannot be changed unless they remake the interface for use at a large cost. It would be nice to be able to have the system adjustable/customizable without large costs or system updates.
  • Allowed us to easily transition to almost a fully remote staff when COVID-19 hit due to the softphone software. The transition would have been much harder had we only had a hard phone setup.
  • Integration issues between our software and inContact that we were promised from the start but have not been able to achieve consistently; including the transfer of call logs and call recordings from inContact to our system for records purposes has hurt our relationships to a degree with clients as we could not deliver items promised to them.
We have created different report options based on call dispositions and tags to provide call data to our clients to track the origins and topics of our calls. This has aided our ability to demonstrate to clients what work we are doing for them. We added pop-ups that correspond to both inbound and outbound calls that link data between inContact and our company software. These pop-ups do not always work as intended, however, which leads to missing records in our systems that both our leadership and our clients have concerns over.
The software itself is very easy to use and pickup. Navigation is simple and everything is presented in a manner that makes sense. The only concerns with usability have to relate to the integration and connection with our company software that is not consistent and creates some issues with call handling.
A large number of reporting options, both with predesigned reporting and with customizable options. This has allowed us to track internal data as well as client data that provides insight on both call volume and call origins. This has created better workforce management options for our departments that field inbound calls and assist client customers.
Yes - Previously we used Avaya hard phone systems before transitioning to the inContact softphone system.
Overall, the system performs well with call handling. The interface is clean and easy to use. The reporting and data available are fantastic, and the ability to add users and adjust skills at will is beneficial for both training and workflow adjustments. The main downsides we have noticed in our use is the integration with our proprietary software. We were advised the system would interact with our website and software seamlessly and it has not. We have issues with information being transferred between systems that NICE has not been able to address for 2 years running. We have had to make internal workarounds to address and it has caused some frustration on our part.
