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.
Has enabled seamless integration and simplified setup for client services with minimal technical requirements
The system is easy to manage. End users do not need to provide much technical support. They just rent the necessary number of users, and that's it. End users don't need a dedicated IT person to manage the system as it is a serverless service. Five9 provides powerful CRM integration capabilities with platforms like Salesforce, Zendesk, and Oracle Service Cloud, making it highly valuable for large companies. Additionally, omnichannel capabilities, such as web chat and social media integration, offer a customized experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."
"The technical support services are good."
"The complex call routing capabilities were valuable, as 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, while also setting up complex rollover and integrations between our CRM to leverage that data for complex call routing, and it all worked well."
"The reporting is the most valuable feature in Five9."
"The reporting is good, and we're testing AI summaries now. Also, the workflow automation feature, so far, has been good."
"Overall, Five9 has made my job easier compared to before, and I do not struggle with it."
"The technical support for Five9 has been exemplary."
"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."
"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."
"When it comes to drop calls, we don't have a problem. They are performing to our satisfaction."
 

Cons

"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 pricing could be improved. It is set in US dollars, so it doesn't account for the exchange rate with other regions."
"There are certain issues around features that Chrome has deployed that we have to figure out. When we bring them to Five9's attention, they are usually able to help us navigate them. It seems that sometimes they already know about an issue, so it would be helpful if they more proactively engaged with us first..."
"Five9 Omnichannel’s UI could be improved."
"Integration with third-party solutions can be difficult and has room for improvement."
"It would be ideal if they could combine the tools into one suite."
"Five9 has an active-passive high-availability model. I would prefer active-active."
"The reporting suite needed improvement."
"During training and demos, resiliency tests failed, which was not ideal. This is a concern for stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
"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."
"The cost is not at the lower end of the market, but it's worth it."
"Five9 is expensive, but most companies would find that using it is worth the cost."
"I prefer Five9's licensing model."
"Five9 is reasonable."
"Five9's pricing wasn't quite as flexible as I'd hoped, but it ended up being reasonably priced overall."
"The product's pricing is flexible and reasonable."
"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."
