Prioritizes tasks and easily organizes messages and responses
I've not really noticed anything that needs to be improved with the solution. Generally, I enjoyed everything. Every feature LiveAgent has was a seamless journey for me. Maybe there are others who might notice one or two flaws on LiveAgent. I use LiveAgent, but based on my position in the company as a live chat professional, there is a level that I am restricted to. There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot. They are among the most popular live chat products, and they have more users. I will advise that LiveAgent should look at what these other people are doing and use it to improve themselves. LiveAgent should add more functionalities.

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

"I like that this solution provides the history and control over every process connected to a building so we can see everything that's happened since we started using this solution."
"My experience with LiveAgent so far has been a seamless one."
"Provides service level optimization."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"The copilot feature in NICE CXone has reduced a great deal of after-call work substantially through summarization."
"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."
"MindTouch seemed to deliver the complete package, and we've not looked back."
"NICE CXone has positively impacted the organization as the website was built from scratch; I was hired to build this website six years ago, and it has grown phenomenally."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
"For me personally, NICE CXone has helped me manage my time and workflow better."
"NICE CXone has positively impacted my organization by seamlessly joining our calls without any call drops, allowing me to listen to a call with ease, and making everything really easy to use and self-explanatory."
"NICE CXone allows agents to request time off and trade schedules with other people, access training and coaching, and play games to help improve their performance, functioning as a good one-stop shop where they can input their preferred hours and manage their schedules, rather than having to go to multiple places for professional development."
 

Cons

"There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
"I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything."
"My advice to others looking into using NICE CXone is that it is an expensive product with a lot of guardrails on it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"One area where CXone could improve is in creating a more streamlined, user-friendly interface."
"I think that there could be improvements in the actual structuring and formatting of content, i.e., when creating topics and guides in MindTouch."
"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."
"The development tools in NICE CXone could be better, as there are some pain points."
