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

"The tool enables easier management."
"The reporting is the most valuable feature in Five9."
"Five9 is extremely easy to manage and maintain."
"Five9 has a lot of AI tools, which I find valuable. It offers transcription services and a power dialer for outbound dialing. I like that Five9 is built for outbound and suitable for that purpose."
"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."
"It helped reduce costs in our organization. We've saved on staffing and we've saved on software by 10% to 15%."
"Overall, Five9 has made my job easier compared to before, and I do not struggle with it."
"I really appreciate Five9 because I do not have to do much creatively, as everything is automated."
"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."
 

Cons

"Integration with third-party solutions can be difficult and has room for improvement."
"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."
"Maybe they could do better on how we access all the data if we want the data to work outside of Five9. Sometimes, that's not the easiest process. It's not bad, but if there's an area for improvement, that could be one."
"For Five9, I would like a feature where reports such as AHT or workforce-related reports can be generated automatically without starting from scratch"
"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..."
"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."
"The knowledge base of their support is not as strong as the IVR build."
"What would make Five9 better is a partnership with an SMS AI solution, which would make Five9 pretty powerful."
"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product's pricing is flexible and reasonable."
"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 is not the most expensive, but it's not cheap."
"I prefer Five9's licensing model."
"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."
