James Arvidson - PeerSpot reviewer
A software that enables centers to operate more efficiently, increase the quality of every customer interaction, create new pathways to profit, and ensure ongoing customer-centric business improvemen
One of the best aspects of CXone is its omnichannel experience. It treats all contacts, whether phone, chat, email, or SMS, through the same system, allowing for consistent reporting and a true omnichannel experience. The platform is very flexible. You can customize it to do almost anything as long as it's based on logic, which has been incredibly valuable. In terms of analytics, CXone offers consistent, accessible data across all channels. In the past, different systems like Avaya for phones or separate platforms for chat and email made it hard to compare performance across channels. With CXone, you get the same data points across all interactions, making decision-making much easier. It also allows for deeper reporting, like IVR reporting, where you can see what options people choose and create custom KPIs for better insight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."
"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated."
"A good organizational tool."
"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."
"Service Management is great if you're an Atlassian shop already using JIRA for the development team and you want another tool for help desk ticketing. When it's all under the same umbrella, I can easily take a ticket from the help desk and move it to the development team. You can't beat that integration between two products."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility of defining your own workflows and automation around the workflows, and the integration with the gate or any repository."
"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
 

Cons

"The licensing model could be improved."
"In the Turkish market, the biggest problem is that they are looking for a server type of solution, but when it comes to Jira Service Management, Atlassian is a remote type of license. There are just two different options, data center and cloud."
"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."
"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."
"Jira Service Management should be more user-friendly."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"There is room for improvement in support."
"Instability happens sometimes - although not frequently."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price. It's competitively priced."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"It depends on the number of users but it starts at $20 per month per user. I would rate them a three out of five for pricing."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
