Comcast Business VOIP (VoiceEdge) vs. Genesys Cloud CX

It's a solid service for small business in particular. It is wrapped in with our internet service where it is actually cheaper for us to have both than just one. The entry cost is low and the on-the-go features are useful if you need to receive calls when you're not in the office. Their mobile app allows you to administer the service from wherever you are, so if you have an emergency, it's easy to reroute calls from wherever you may be.

• It is very good, full-featured business phone for long distance offshore call. We had been using this phone for long for our day to day communication and it was working perfectly without any noise.
• This voip provides few cool and nice features like unlimited international long distance call, Voicemail to email,
• Directory listening etc, call recording is also good.

• Standard omnichannel routing - multiple-media interactions are handled well.
• WFM - agent scheduled, workload balancing, forecasting, etc.
• 3rd Party Integrations - Easy integration with CRMs, DBs. ADs etc.
• We are exploring Predictive Routing & finding is useful so far.
• Reporting is also very useful & informative.

• Not a fan of the poly phones
• I feel if the phones were set up better when installed it would have saved a lot of headache.

• Updates can come quickly and release notes can be missed
• We use a large number of queues. It's hard to keep track as reporting seems to be limited to around 500 at a time
• Dashboards aren't as adaptable as they could be

The upcoming upgrades working with Genesys Cloud and Salesforce are very exciting. Even though we don't use Genesys Cloud to the fullest extent it can be used (we just migrated a year ago), when these upgrades roll out, I am very excited to see what it can do to for our agents. I think they are going to be very impressed

Everything is very good. It is very useful, friendly to users and it makes our work easier than what we expected. I think that I don't need any help from someone on how to use Genesys coz basically they will directly feed it to you without any hassle on using it.

The platform is highly reliable, with minimal downtime or outages, and is generally available when needed. Over the course of using it, unplanned outages or application errors have been rare, and any issues that did arise were quickly resolved. Genesys provides robust support and maintenance, ensuring the system remains operational during critical business hours. However, like any cloud-based platform, there have been occasional disruptions, though these were infrequent and quickly addressed. Overall, its availability has been excellent, supporting smooth daily operations.

Overall, the platform performs well, with pages loading quickly and reports typically completing in a reasonable time, even with complex data. The interface is responsive, and most day-to-day tasks are executed efficiently. However, in some instances, especially during peak usage times or when running very detailed, large-scale reports, there can be slight delays. While these are rare, they occasionally affect workflow. Additionally, the platform generally integrates smoothly with other systems, though some integrations can slow down slightly, particularly when pulling large datasets or interacting with older, legacy systems. Nonetheless, the performance is strong and reliable for most use cases.

Very helpful and quick

There seem to be so many pages and options for support - but none of them are very seamless and some are very hard to maneuver or manage. I would like to learn more about the product features and tutorials etc. - but have had a hard time finding appropriate content.

Genesys team that provide trainings are friendly and professional. They helped us to understand well the product and the functionalities. The training was detailed with use cases. At the end, we got a task to develop that ended with success and we got some Genesys rewards. It was amazing experience

In general, it gives a description and can help to understand what to do and how. but: Sometimes, it does not keep up with changes in the system (for example, in the GUI changes, additional features and so on). Sometimes, much easier and helpful to read the documentation (https://help.mypurecloud.com/) that gives the "better" explanations and takes less time.

My Team was involved in the discussion before implementing the application. We had a whole walkthrough of this product and during the demo itself we were very impressed with type of service we were getting. The integration of the product into our system was very quick and seamless.

We've used Allworx phone systems onsite. They are the most expensive option when it comes to VOIP. We noticed that we paid for equipment over service with them. Service was great - and pennies on the dollar of what Comcast charges. But the equipment costs thousands of dollars. The use of the system was a bit easier with Allworx, but we solely switched because of the equipment cost.

Significantly improved over PureConnect. Much more reliable and much more flexible and feature-rich. There are some features I strongly miss, like on-device logging for errors - in PureConnect, there were rolling logs for all components like the phone, recording, desktop app etc. In GC these logs appear in the browser console (even in Desktop app) and have to be pre-configured, meaning often we don't capture a log for an error the agents have. Overall, a huge improvement - the IVR is much more flexible, admin is much more manageable, everything is a step up.

I give Genesys a rating of 10 for scalability because of its ability to adapt seamlessly to growing business needs, whether expanding across multiple departments, locations, or regions. Its cloud-based infrastructure allows for easy scaling without the need for costly hardware upgrades or lengthy implementation times. As our organisation grew, we were able to add new agents, channels, and features without disrupting operations, which significantly enhanced our flexibility. The platform's design supports both small-scale and enterprise-level operations, making it ideal for evolving businesses. Additionally, its capacity to handle increased interaction volumes without compromising performance ensures that customer service quality remains high, even during peak times. This flexibility and ease of scaling, combined with real-time analytics and automation capabilities, make it highly effective for growing organisations.

• In my experience, you have to pay to get out of contract.
• In my opinion, it's a total waste of time and money.

• Strategic Agility- Genesys Cloud CX has delivered both immediate cost benefits and long-term value through improved customer relationships, operational resilience, and administrative satisfaction.
• Enhanced Customer Experience- With advanced analytics and personalized interactions, we’ve seen an improvement in routing to address customer needs.
• Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency- The platform’s cloud-based architecture can eliminate on-premise infrastructure and maintenance in some cases.
