Omnichannel features have unified journeys and AI now speeds up responses for our agents
NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives. When it comes to solutioning, there are too many SKUs, which are line items or components that could have been bundled together. For example, CXone agent licenses do not include QM in the basic packages, whereas in the Genesis world it is bundled. The price comparison is higher compared to Genesis or other platforms. I have been using Genesis for three to four years across multiple customers, and now that NICE CXone has become available, I have started comparing all the features and benefits. I find there are some gaps, with more features available but at a higher cost for NICE. Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment of NICE CXone, the main challenge is working with the NICE team. The speed of onboarding is lengthy and people-dependent initially. When comparing with other OEMs and CCaaS products, the UI interface and partner portal have multiple access points. I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location. There is room for improvement in this area, though gradually NICE can change this approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"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 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."
"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."
"Converting our PDFs to MindTouch is like adding a huge new feature to our software product line and it has, so far, had a great approval rate amongst our clients."
"The only thing I liked about this was the fact that you can create an online help system where information changes dynamically."
"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."
"The agent list is the most valuable feature because we are able to see what each person is doing."
"MindTouch provides an easy way to create HTML using an MS Word-like interface."
"If you are wondering if you or your company should use NICE inContact, I would suggest reaching out to them and asking for a demonstration."
 

Cons

"The mobile app could be better."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"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."
"However, Stage labels do nothing. They simply label the page with the Stage name."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
