Founder at SJT Consult
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.
Romina Dorola - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Vo C Strategy & Customer Success at TheX
Experience programs have delivered unified insights and closed-loop actions across journeys
On the negative side of Qualtrics XM Platform, I see that there could be improvements. There were few ways of analyzing unstructured data aside from Text iQ. Customers are trying to analyze not just survey feedback but also contact center calls and chatbot chats to avoid asking customers for information that may already be in the organization's existing data. I thought that was a good point they needed to cover, and I believe they are launching or have launched that this year, though I have not tried it yet. Regarding potential improvements for Qualtrics XM Platform, they have created a feature that allows you to analyze data that does not come from surveys, such as support calls and chatbot interactions, which is valuable.
