Content as a service has improved omnichannel delivery but deployment and debugging still need work
There is room for improvement in Adobe Web Experience Management, particularly concerning single-page applications. It has certain aspects that need improvement regarding content exposure. While content as a service has been introduced, there are some difficulties when implementing it, as customizations are required, which are not out-of-the-box features or APIs provided. Additionally, the deployment strategy employed for Adobe Cloud Services has room for improvement, particularly in the time taken for deployment and debugging. Developers find it challenging to debug issues in the environment, as previous on-premises versions provided more visibility. This aspect definitely needs improvement. Normally, for the cloud, deployment takes around thirty to forty-five minutes, but I have seen situations where it takes more than one hour, sometimes even one and a half hours. For the production environment, at least half an hour may be acceptable, but one and a half hours is not acceptable. This contrasts with the on-premises version, which has a different architecture for deployment. This should be improved, and they need to look into it because one and a half hours for deployment is too much.

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

"This product is very efficient at managing end-to-end content publishing flows."
"The templates and components that come out of the box are very helpful, especially in terms of the content fragments and experience fragments. Every client would like to have some templates and components, and they would like to cut down the effort of having to create every component that's customized. So, they try to use them out of the box. Other than that, the user roles and permissions workflows, third-party integrations, and system integration are the features that are very important."
"The user interface of Adobe Web Experience Management is user-friendly, and that is the main reason most clients are moving to Adobe from other vendors."
"Overall, I find this product to be good because it is a hundred percent Java-based tool and supports the integration of other frameworks seamlessly, providing visibility for developers while offering considerable feasibility to integrate different frameworks comfortably."
"When new clients come for a requirement of a new site, we suggest Adobe Experience Manager because this is one of the best content management systems; it is easy to author, easy to manage, and easy to maintain."
"Good content and digital management capabilities."
"The ROI is really good with some of our clients, as their profit margins have increased using the solution because of the additional contact they have with their clients."
"Genesys Cloud CX platform's unified interface has improved agent efficiency a lot; compared to other platforms, it contributes about 40 percent to agent efficiency since agents do not have to toggle between multiple screens, allowing them to focus on the solution and respond to customers effectively."
"The stability is really good."
"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"After implementing Genesys Cloud CX, we achieved a 97% call response rate compared to 80% with our previous self-service software, and customer surveys showed their call center experience improved from three stars to 4.2."
"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."
 

Cons

"Additionally, the deployment strategy employed for Adobe Cloud Services has room for improvement, particularly in the time taken for deployment and debugging."
"Sometimes, they take a good amount of time to react to the issues."
"From a technical support point of view for Adobe Web Experience Management, I would rate them a five. They attempt to resolve issues promptly, but response times can vary, and sometimes clients need to wait at least a month for more complex queries related to product parts as the support team has to consult with the core product team, which can take time."
"This product is unable to handle very large video files and related elements."
"It would be better if it also supports some styling. Currently, whenever we have to do design for a particular client according to their brand strategy, it takes a good amount of effort. Adobe never focuses on this area. They say that you design your pages, templates, etc. If they can define common components or a common section of the style sheet so that if you want to have a button by default, you can go and just mention the specifications, such as the color code, and those specifications are automatically followed across the whole site or multiple sites according to the brand strategy. Such functionality will be helpful because currently, it takes a lot of effort to manage them separately."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"I believe the implementation needs improvement, the implementation of integration."
"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."
"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."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"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

"It's definitely an expensive solution, but it comes with a lot of features and scalability. As compared to other content management systems that we have in the market, AEM is the costliest one. There is no hidden or additional fee."
"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
