Featured Reviews

Afzal Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
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."
"Overall, Five9 has made my job easier compared to before, and I do not struggle with it."
"I like the capability of call and screen recording. It has helped us to hold our agents accountable to the expectations for the role. It creates a clearer picture than giving feedback that is just based on calls that we may have listened to, but we do not have anything to show the agents themselves."
"The tool enables easier management."
"When it comes to drop calls, we don't have a problem. They are performing to our satisfaction."
"Agent Assist and AI server are the two best features because they remind new and existing agents about tips and generate detailed case summaries, saving them the time and effort of making small modifications before posting."
"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."
"The reporting is good, and we're testing AI summaries now. Also, the workflow automation feature, so far, has been good."
"The technical support for Five9 has been exemplary."
 

Cons

"I think Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect can be improved by making the user interface easier to read."
"I rate Five9 support five out of 10. My experience with Five9 support has been mixed. It's good at times but not particularly helpful sometimes."
"It would be ideal if they could combine the tools into one suite."
"There are several audio issues that need attention. Whenever I disconnect a headset after connecting to the VDI, the station connection in Five9 disconnects automatically, requiring a VMware restart."
"The SMS feature could use some improvement as far as the opt-out process goes."
"The knowledge base of their support is not as strong as the IVR build."
"Five9's stability needs to be improved."
"What would make Five9 better is a partnership with an SMS AI solution, which would make Five9 pretty powerful."
"The pricing could be improved. It is set in US dollars, so it doesn't account for the exchange rate with other regions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Their license structure, out of the box, is better than that of other providers and their pricing is much less than other vendors we've looked at."
"Five9's pricing wasn't quite as flexible as I'd hoped, but it ended up being reasonably priced overall."
"The pricing seems reasonable. I had anticipated that whatever solution we went with would be more expensive. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the features that we had in Evolve IP, one-to-one, did not cost significantly more in Five9."
"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."
"The product's pricing is flexible and reasonable."
"I prefer Five9's licensing model."
"The product is not the most expensive, but it's not cheap."
"Five9 is expensive, but most companies would find that using it is worth the cost."
