    Solution is extremely agile and flexible. The new generation of containerized solution would be a game changer since it brings the ease of deployment and ability to get the innovations to a new total different place. I believe it is really hard to find in the competition who would have something similar or even close

    The Contact Centre is fantastic for our festival environment; these systems are rarely accessible to an arts organisation without a significant premium. However, that's not the case with Zoom Contact Centre. It may be tricky initially if you don't have an IT Company to help you with the integration, but they have a great Professional Services Team (PSO) to guide you through the process. Be prepared for the transition to take a few months; I wouldn't recommend it if you need something set up today. Moving phone numbers from other Telcos takes time, and the PSO can provide a custom solution that takes time to develop.

    Pros

    • VHT as a stand alone model can be easily plugged into to the current call routing with minimal changes and it works like charm.
    • Platform SDKs are a powerful tool that help integrate with other third party solutions or to build custom made applications.
    • The whole routing solution is amazing . With user friendly composer, you have the option of building both VRUs and routing strategies. And, they are very easy to deploy.
    • The level of details for report customization is another strong point.

    • Easy to change behavior of a call queue
    • Easy to modify call flow (normally this is very difficult and cumbersome in other contact centers)
    • Language that is not esoteric to phone technicians (e.g., no "Hunt Group" or other inside baseball terms)
    • Easy to see the overview of what is currently going on in the phone system and what people are doing right now
    • Easy to add licenese, change changes, add phone numbers, change p#s, etc.

    • Genesys needs to pick up the pace with application upgrades. We see more and more issues with Genesys applications falling behind the operating systems versions. We need more apps to be ready for the latest server OC models. There is a lag.
    • There seems to be constant unrest with the management application platform, CME, SCI, Genesys administrator, GAX, then GAX plugins, then a move away from plugins. We would like one stable management platform that encompasses ALL aspects of management within the contact center.
    • Real-time reporting deficiencies with Genesys pulse web. this application cannot live up to CCPulse with respect to flexibility of views. Pulse web was a plugin now it's not a plugin any longer. constant movement, we finally get pulse web plugin onto production, 6 months later these something supposedly better.

    • Go deeper into a true separation of parameters, reporting, management, etc. so you could have multiple business units with very different needs, independently work. Some sort of "Multi-Tenant-Like" capabilities like the one seen in Zoom Phone Locations. In situations like these where you need "location/team isolation" is challenging, if not impossible to implement with Zoom Contact Center.
    • More pre-canned integrations and ready-to-go examples to implement thins like the "InApp-Chat" channel for the Zoom Client Itself. This could be a great addition, especially when you use the ZCC to service your own company.
    • ZCC is meant to be an independent solution that could interact with Zoom and non-Zoom products, but the capability to allow a tight-integration with Zoom Phone is really missing: Having the capability to make/receive calls between ZP and ZCC using just extension numbers should have been a given from the get-go; it really limits the use cases of Zoom Contact Center with its other star product Zoom Phone. I heard something is coming to address this, for lack of a better word I call "shortcoming", so I am really looking forward to see what is "being cooked" on this regard.
    • Licensing Tiers: ZCC is really missing an Admin-Only Role from the licensing perspective; you have to "waste" a license to add Administrators, which is particularly bad when you have a fairly large organization with multiple admins.

    Usability

    Overall, from a customer perspective and also an agent perspective, it is very easy to use Genesys Engage's platform. The Agent Desktop and Genesys WDE are good. Usability is high and I would consider it an easy to use product and easy to adopt from this perspective.

    First and foremost for our results, the omnichannel approach and ease of use on the internal side (agents, supervisors and administrators) have made adoption very simple, we have managed to reduce response times (SLA) and internal communication has become very fluid. We get good feedback from our clients for having implemented ZCC in the company to serve them.

    There's definitely room for improvement. I would have love to see the chat functionality work more frequently. The level of expertise has diminished over the years. I understand that this in part has to do with the number of new products that has been introduced, but should not be an excuse for the lack of readiness.

    Good training, but on limited locations. You can almost only follow trainings in europ in the UK and in Germany. Uk location is relatively difficult to get to and on a exppensive location. The content of the training is good, supplied training material is okay, but sometimes a bit outdated. When you follow a training it is most likely because of a recent purchase which is uasually the latest version.

    It was a death march. We finally learned enough about the product to know that our vendor knew nothing and had done it wrong. We hired voice engineers and took over the project. We should have fired our vendor much earlier

    For a similar contact center structure, I find Genesys products are faster to produce outcomes, and fast to respond (loading, changing screens...). However, in terms of user interface, I do prefer the way NICE did things there. Coming from an agent background, I find that the NICE agent interface is more visually appealing and offers more flexibility (parameters for agent exceptions).

    There are options and ways to get to specific feature sets that are similar to what Zoom can offer. Many of the Zoom included features are add-ons for the RingCentral offering. So cost goes up and can also be an add-on difficulties/deployment costs as well. When we reviewed the features needed and the cost comparison, Zoom was less than half the cost with many of the features baked in as opposed to add-ons

    • We migrated away from a telephony system that was antiquated and almost unusable for what we wanted to do, so Zoom has been a huge improvement for us!
    • We're continuing to roll out new channels of contact for customers -- Calls, chat, video, email, etc.
    • We're still getting our sea legs from a reporting perspective, and that could always be better, but so far the biggest improvement was for our staff actually using the software. They really enjoy the simplicity and robustness of the software.
