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.

Unified channels have simplified customer support and now need more responsive assistance
The best features TalkDesk offers include the unification of messages through omnichannel support, which allows me to combine all messages from voice calls, SMS, chats, email, and social media onto a single platform. I also utilize the AI features for immediate customer support with a virtual assistant to handle customers when our agents are offline, and it requires no coding, making it really easy to use. The AI support specifically helps me save a lot of time as I only have to input and set it up; in case of any inquiries, it automatically provides feedback to customers needing help. Additionally, with the omnichannel feature, I don't need to log into all my social media handles or check my chats and emails separately, as I find everything in one place, which helps me become more efficient, save time, and stay organized.
