User Testimonials
Five9Google Assistant
Likelihood to Recommend
very well suited for large number of enrollments, registrations by insurance companies. Also we recently implemented it for automating a order placement. Maybe not very well suited for live agent chat experience as there are limitations on texting, laggy performance in this area. I think its also hard to incorporate a payment system within the five9- Salesforce automation.

  1. For quick timing and scheduling calls - As I can just say, ok google, I want to have a call with {teammate's name} today, can you find a. time of 30mins for me sometime this week?
  2. Can you answer on the design pattern which Netflix uses for next video

Pros
  • Inbound and outbound calls it process is so well.
  • The service is so good and they give very efficient support in customer need.
  • The calls we can do in Five9 include incoming, outgoing, voicemails and we can also send a note to a specific person. It's a very reliable mode of communication.

  • To-do lists and task boards so I can work on it better, and can ask quickly on what I need to do.
  • Saves time and increases efficiency - I can ask and can answer relevant answers
  • Set-up meetings - quickly scheduling and checking for time which suits all people

Cons
  • Text. Texting is incredibly difficult on Five9. We've had issues with only some texts logging to Salesforce, issues with threading of text conversations, and issues with having Salesforce contact information appear on the text widget (knowing who you are texting, not just their phone number).
  • The interface to "pause" is challenging. There are not good reminders to our reps to remember to pause or log out of Five9. If you forget to log out, this can affect stats about who worked the longest hours that day - and it's hard to know who actually was active on the phones.
  • Inbound voicemails are too-easily hidden. It's challenging for a lot of our reps to remember to check their inbound voicemails because it is hard to access them in the Five9 widget.

  • I think newer, complementary ideas are a bit sharper than Google Assistant especially in a Q&A environment or when seeking some depth to a subject. That enhancement is to be expected I feel. And Google Assistant is not so self limiting so I don't have a lot of improvement needs because I use this for what I've become accustomed to and for the ability overall.
  • It is always important to do your best around hectic places, in bad tower signal areas or even if trying to do something new while using Google Assistant. Have patience in the setting. It pays off.

Usability
I wish it was a 10. For the sake of a call center, it allows me to keep it simple for newer sales reps and just focus on basic KPI's. This is not an advanced CRM used for digital approaches. It is strictly a churn and burn call center CRM for me. It is a dialer.

I feel this can be adjusted and after some trial and error you sort of start knowing what will work and how. And I have to say the overall impact becomes personal and we are all different. I'm small scale and as I've said, it works.

Reliability and Availability

Performance
The system's performance is great. Page loads quickly. Reports are generated quickly and sent to our email or FTP. The integration did not impact the performance of our other applications. We have not seen any drop in the performance of either applications since we performed the integration.

Support Rating
Five9's Customer Support team is also based in Manila Philippines, thus turnaround email response times for our reported issues are great for our requirements. Their CS agents also facilitate mobile calls to followup on outstanding issues and operate on a 24/7 schedule. We've also had experience working with the senior tech agents to investigate recurring issues to completion.

Online Training
I took the certification course for administrator and also received some tips while working with the developer during implementation. The UI was very intuitive, so I was able to figure out how things worked when I configured the users, skills, campaigns, IVR scripts. I worked with the Five9 AI team to beta test Agent Assist.

The implementation team that was assigned to us was great. The project manager was very helpful and managed the timeline very efficiently. The developer was very helpful and provided insights while helping us configure the system.

Alternatives Considered
We use Five9 as a tool to make and receive calls from various departments such as Customer Care, Underwriting, Claims, and others. These departments have experienced issues primarily from supervisor consoles because they sometimes lose access without making significant changes to the admin console. Although it's a tool that has helped us complete various tasks to contact our customers, it has also allowed us to replace Zoom Phone, as it makes it easier to assign new contact numbers to agents, while Zoom Phone only allows reusing numbers.

A good tool with an easy interface for new users.

They need a more minimalist look.

They need to improve the supervisor console because it's very basic.

New agents aren't receiving calls from previous agents because they don't reuse numbers.

The user group license is cheaper than the Zoom Phone license, which allows for a better ROI.

This is where I would go next. And I think in functionality Google Gemini has a place. Especially so in this Newer AI driven world. I don't have any full force desire or usage on Google Gemini at the present. It is mostly what has been passed on to me in indirect ways.

Scalability
It was very easy to add additional licenses. Once we placed the order, it was activated the following day. Since it's web-based, it's very quick to deploy across multiple sites.

  • I'm about strategy and clarity in my projects and flexibility to change, enhance and correct. I get what I need in this via Google Assistant.
  • When I need to get the word out or have a little extra done in real time I can easily use the feature via my voice commands while I'm doing something else simultaneously even in an environment where background noise and atmospheric clutter might be present. Clarity is pretty solid in my experience.
  • I like to use as little as possible when it comes to Bluetooth, smart enhancements and such and having Google Assistant interact with my connected items is rather smooth as well.
