Room For Improvement

NICE CXone needs streamlined design, better reporting, improved call quality, and cost-effective pricing with enhanced integration and usability options.
Notion users want better integration, automation, pricing, mobile app, offline access, user management, AI, support, and team chat features.
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.
Cx Product Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
Operations Manager at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio.

Improved efficiency with browser-based call handling and efficient scripting tools
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio. Clearing cache and cookies from browsers often resolves these problems, but it's something that occurs frequently. Simplifying the studio tool could also be an improvement, along with organizing external training and better communication about new features, like agent assist or agent co-pilot.

Minimal workspace has organized policies and student records and improves team collaboration
One of the main frustrations I have is the pricing of Notion. It is really pricey; we even used to call it pretty pricey for an expensive notepad. Notion has a per-user pricing model, but I think if it was per-organization pricing with a flat rate for the whole organization regardless of how many new people join, that would be really awesome. But with their current pricing models, especially for a growing organization when scaling from ten to one hundred employees, it is going to cost a lot of money. It is ten dollars as I remember, but that is a lot because you have to pay it per person. Another issue is that sometimes their markdown editor has a great many features, but sometimes the markdown editor breaks. When I copy something from ChatGPT and paste it there, sometimes the content gets messy. Only sometimes, but when it gets messy, it is really hard to fix things up. I might have to delete the entire thing and do everything by hand. So there are some bugs related to the markdown editor, but that is not always the case. The main pain point I would say is the pricing model. I do not have more needed improvements to add regarding integrations, performance, or mobile experience. Those areas are good in my mind. I have not actually used the mobile app a lot, but from other sides that is all good. The main two needed improvements I would suggest are a better pricing model and fixes for some bugs in the markdown editor.
