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.

Unified omnichannel platform has boosted agent efficiency and improved AI‑driven customer journeys
In terms of improvements for Genesys Cloud CX, I see technical limitations such as the lack of a clear mechanism to access multiple organizations effectively. If I have over 100 organizations in Genesys Cloud CX, my support team struggles with access management, and there's no single pane of glass to manage the entire set of tenants. Currently, if we have multiple organizations, we must log into each one to troubleshoot, which presents a challenge. Additionally, while people are more flexible compared to other platforms, those are the main improvements I would like to see. Overall, we have excellent collaboration and get the most out of both this platform for our solutioning needs.

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 most valuable features include being an omnichannel solution with customer journey insights, full reporting, and continuous updates based on consumer feedback through their portal."
"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."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"The stability is really good."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"I would like to see some of that functionality or features from Genesys Engage added to Genesys Cloud."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"The cost needs to be improved, and it should be easier to integrate."
 

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."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
