Featured Reviews

Manager, Operations Crypto at a tech company with 201-500 employees
Automated outreach has streamlined user off‑boarding and ensures fast, compliant fund withdrawals
There may be improvements around agent management. Recently, I heard that Acqueon significantly upgraded how it calculates agent availability in the UI. Previously, the system only looked at agents who were completely idle before dialing. The vast improvement is in the agent systems, which they have already made, so I don't think there is anything to add in that area. The dashboard could improve because it was a bit rigid. Whenever my operational team needed to create a unique minute or hourly performance view during our critical time, we had to rely on complex custom data filters, which slowed down immediate decision-making.

CX Intelligence Analytics at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Advanced call routing has enabled complex CRM-driven workflows but reporting still needs improvement
The complex call routing capabilities were valuable. I was able to set up fairly complex call routing, capturing data via internal IVR for potential customers' geography and then conducting lookups to determine which skill to route calls to. I also set up complex rollover, so if the first person could not answer, callers would wait a specified number of seconds hoping they would become available, and if they did not, the call would roll over to the next person. I was able to set up fairly complex integrations between our CRM and leverage that data for complex call routing, and it worked well. The integration and call routing both performed well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect, it was only one percent of that staffing need and we completed off-boarding within six months, whereas otherwise it might have easily taken us two to three years, really saving us a lot of money and making it worth the investment."
"Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect positively impacts my organization by automating the campaign and the sending of emails and pop-up messages based on the status of the customers who have not obtained a debit card, and I see a benefit for my team as it was not necessary to keep track or manually do work, which was automated by Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect."
"The product’s IVR script editor is very easy and simple to use."
"Queue callback, agent skill-based routing, call reporting, and the flexibility to log in from anywhere are some of the most valuable features for our organization."
"Overall, Five9 has made my job easier compared to before, and I do not struggle with it."
"I'm interested in all the features we're using and the reporting that's needed to get them up and running."
"Before using the WFO and its analytics, our quality teams would listen to only 5 percent of contacts a week, per employee, which is a very small part of what an employee is doing... Now, this tool does an automatic evaluation of 100 percent of their calls. It has certainly helped the QA teams in their training, and that, in turn, helps our clients."
"It helped reduce costs in our organization. We've saved on staffing and we've saved on software by 10% to 15%."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of making scripts within the contact center solution itself."
"The reporting is the most valuable feature in Five9."
 

Cons

"I think Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect can be improved by making the user interface easier to read."
"Sometimes, there are some call quality issue complaints from our users."
"The pricing could be improved. It is set in US dollars, so it doesn't account for the exchange rate with other regions."
"Five9's stability needs to be improved."
"The knowledge base of their support is not as strong as the IVR build."
"For Five9, I would like a feature where reports such as AHT or workforce-related reports can be generated automatically without starting from scratch"
"The reporting suite needed improvement."
"There are some minor issues with some of their filtering that I'd like them to handle on their back end. The only limitation I can think of is that I'm always looking backward and can't look forward. I can't see how many calls are scheduled for tomorrow based on our system."
"It would be ideal if they could combine the tools into one suite."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I prefer Five9's licensing model."
"The product's pricing is flexible and reasonable."
"Five9's pricing wasn't quite as flexible as I'd hoped, but it ended up being reasonably priced overall."
"The product is not the most expensive, but it's not cheap."
"Five9 is reasonable."
"Five9 is expensive, but most companies would find that using it is worth the cost."
"The cost is not at the lower end of the market, but it's worth it."
"Five9 is a little expensive because of our company's size. That said, it scales pretty well. The daily usage costs and monthly fees seem about right. It's not out of line with what we'd expect from other companies. However, they seem to have a one-size-fits-all implementation fee. Most of their clients have hundreds if not thousands of seats in the call centers, so $5,000 or $10,000 is not a huge cost. It would be nice if they had a sliding scale for smaller companies."
