Abeer ELADAWY - PeerSpot reviewer
Deputy Senior Manager, Customer Interaction Management at DEWA
Provides omnichannel AI features and has good routing capabilities
The routing capabilities are excellent. We have priority routing set up for VIP customers, disabled customers, and those with special needs, ensuring they receive prompt and efficient service. We have implemented a use case where AI helps when a customer calls and says, "My bill is high." The AI searches the customer's profile to check if the high consumption is real or just a misunderstanding. If it is high, the AI creates a notification for the backend to check the issue. The system automatically generates the bill and the notification for the agent, who then views and either submits or rejects the notification. I recommend using the solution for all the features I have mentioned before, including the excellent AI experience, omnichannel, self-service, and customer journey features. I rate it a nine.

Omnichannel contact center has unified customer interactions and delivers smarter routing
Regarding scripters, I should clarify that Genesys Cloud CX dashboards provide real-time data, showing call counts, satisfaction levels, and pending interactions in the queue. Agents can see their workload and know when to take breaks, with managers benefiting from comprehensive team management. We also created dashboards tailored for point-of-sale locations managed by Genesys Cloud CX, and overall, we have been very satisfied. However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler. My overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX has been positive but should be seen in perspective, as nothing is purely black or white; there are shades of gray. While the metrics and system capabilities reflected success, our goal in implementing Genesys Cloud CX was to standardize processes. Thus, we faced challenges related to change management due to the tool's complexity. It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Avaya offers some of the most widely used (and therefore tested and improved) contact center solutions available."
"The technical support services are good."
"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."
"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's a complete cloud solution, so it's reliable and 99.99% available. It's also elastic. Genesys Cloud also has chatbots, which I find valuable."
"The features and capabilities of Genesys Cloud CX that I have found most valuable so far include its omni-channel support."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"Genesys Cloud CX has impacted my organization positively by decreasing the efforts required, the management is easy, I need less manpower to manage this solution, and I can even hand over a few tasks to the one who is using this platform."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's easier to use because everything is already built. Another valuable feature of Genesys Cloud is drag-and-drop."
"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
 

Cons

"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
"Its scalability means that it is not a simple 'install and forget' setup."
"The solution should be more flexible on-premises. We are currently on-premises and looking to move to the cloud."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"In terms of cost-effectiveness, I find Genesys Cloud CX provides overall ROI benefits; however, after the first year, customers usually expect lower pricing at the time of renewal."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"For the HIPAA instance where we use Genesys as a carrier, we face multiple issues. In that instance, calls are not consistent."
"There is always a chance for improvement with all CRM tools, and as of now, I suggest we need advanced customization in the architecture without the code flow."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"Genesys Cloud has pay-as-you-go pricing, so it's much cheaper than the on-premises solution. Apart from the standard fees, my company pays for Genesys support."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
