Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys
One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"The system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"A combination of these two elements yields positive impact, and we see metrics indicating self-servicing where calls are not getting escalated to agents, and feedback has improved significantly."
"NICE CXone has had a HUGE impact on our contact center, taking us from a place where we had no visualization on contact volumes, handle times, ASA, etc. to a place where we have full visualization on all metrics and can manage and staff our center as necessary."
"The only thing I liked about this was the fact that you can create an online help system where information changes dynamically."
"NICE CXone was a good initial platform because it helped us from a bare-bones patient outreach standpoint, but we did not get the support we needed, and the user interface was very limited regarding what we could do with it."
"We have seen improvements in agent productivity, customer satisfaction, and reduced wait times, specifically an improvement in our CSAT scores and NPS scores, a reduction in cost per call, a decrease in average handle time, and utilization across the board has improved."
 

Cons

"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"The mobile app could be better."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"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."
"Occasionally, the system runs slow and will kick us out of Max, which then has to be restarted, and can cause issues as our call center deals with time sensitive phone calls."
"NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"I think that there is a bit of a delay in the accuracy and reliability of the output I see in NICE CXone, as I mentioned before."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
