Overall Satisfaction with NICE CXone (formerly NICE inContact)
NICE inContact CXone is being used by virtual call centers in four divisions of our organization across four time zones in the US & Canada for inbound & outbound call routing. I do not know total volume but my guess is 30,000 - 100,000 calls daily (M-F 8a-8p EDT).
- Scalability. Cloud-based = nothing to install. Can be deployed to dozens or thousands of users anywhere in the world within hours.
- Track KPI's. Many dashboard options, including showing multiple call queues in the same dashboard, and developing custom dashboards for specific users or groups.
- Spin up (or down) call queues quickly & efficiently.
- Call Quality. At various times, both inbound and outbound calls may randomly have very poor connection on only one end; caller's connection may be crystal clear while recipient hears a very distressed connection/static/choppy/etc.
- MAX agent tries and fails to match friendly usability of flash-based agent (retired by my organization). Interface is more technical than friendly, and is not customizable.
- More GUI/buttons & fewer words.
- Salesforce agent & click-to-dial is extremely helpful, but added functionality would be a fantastic improvement, such as: When logging an Activity in SFDC for the outbound call, allowing the user to customize before logging it (adding notes, outcome, etc.). Additionally, at least for my organization (or perhaps my division or user ID) I can only track such calls at the Salesforce account and contact-level. If I click-to-dial from another entity (such as a SFDC Opportunity or Case), the Activity is logged against the Contact & Account, but nowhere else. This level is not "refined"/specific enough to allow my team to track outbound calls using this feature. **Disclaimer: I do not know if these features may possibly exist but are simply not enabled/configured for me or my team.
- Allowed office-based teams to rapidly migrate to work-from-home due to COVID19 restrictions.
- Works on my personal laptop; company did not need to provide me with hardware to run the program. (Just the website and a login ID.)
I do not have the ability to customize this platform.
