It is well suited for repeatable user journeys that require a high touch and service environment. Glia excels at providing tools that enable and create engagement, in a diverse form of options and methods. It is fully customizable and integration is better than simple. Glia is probably less suited for an organization that is looking for a self-service engagement tool, not manned by users.

Cons
  • 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

  • Lack of SMS integration.
  • The development required for integration into custom CRMs.
  • Roadmap features AI-powered initiatives, but it is a product that integrates with AI and not a new or advanced AI tool.

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

Usability
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.

Reliability and Availability
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.

Performance
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.

Support Rating
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.

This is Glia's largest strength. The integration and initial configuration were done exclusively by Glia, freeing up our limited technology resources. Especially at the beginning of our relationship, the customer success team on a scheduled basis assisted in the review of our data and KPIs while offering strategies to improve services and achieve higher ROI. None of these services were offered for a premium and this demonstrates the commitment Glia has to launch successful partnerships.

In-Person Training
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

Online Training
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.

Implementation Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
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.

The customer success team was superior, as was the possibility of pro-active engagements across all mediums and platforms. Pricing models in this space are comparable, however, the enhanced auxiliary features, as well as a stronger product road map for development, tipped the scales towards Glia. The product road map is always made available to customers, and most initiatives are deployed on time.

Scalability
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.
