Overall Satisfaction with NICE inContact CXone

NICE inContact is a product we use on a daily basis. It allows us to take inbound calls, place outbound calls, and access databases that house customer contact made by phone, email, or chat. It also gives us a snapshot of of schedule and call metrics. It eliminates the need for multiple programs being involved in the call taking process.
  • Ease of Access: Easy interface that allows call taking agents to identify their caller and easily work the call experience (i.e. transferring, hold, mute, etc.).
  • Time Management: The systems gives analyst a snapshot of their work day and call metrics at a glance. All in one place.
  • Visual: I think the color scheme/ font could be updated to reflect more modern technology.
  • More customization options in general would be better for people who might have a hard time seeing.
  • As an analyst NICE helped to improve my personal performance once I started to utilize the schedule at a glance functions. I found that I almost never forgot to take my breaks or lunches.
  • As an analyst NIC helped me to adhere to average handle time of my calls. The tool was easy to locate - so that I did not waste more time looking for the information.
As an analyst I do not have much experience with customizing the software.
I have been in call center work for over 10 years and this is one of the easiest systems I have ever had to use. In my last role I worked from home and was able to get it installed and running with little help! That is something to be said about a call taking platform.
As an analyst I feel like the reporting capabilities are adequate. I would like to see access to a full day's call log along with the in call descriptors already available (Company, phone number, etc). In addition I like that we are able to access past calls through the program.
Using the MAX feature in NICE is an easy way to have a snapshot of call metrics and keep an eye on who you're talking to.
It is not an appropriate tool to show your completed calls for the day as the call log only goes back 2 or 3 calls.
