Implementation was top notch. Great team to work with. Application and tools are good and very useful. Customer Support is strong as well. Would recommend more details and assistance on some resolutions but over all, quick response and quick resolutions is the norm. Room for improvement for front line associates working from home. And better understanding on how Twilio issues affect CxEngage as some time the status pages don't match the same story

Cons
  • Gladly continues to enhance the reporting capabilities of the platform making it an even stronger tool with each update.
Read full review
  • Stronger support and more reliable system for users not on a commercial network
  • Consumer friendly and intuitive reporting and dashboard tools. build canned reports
  • Reporting: Ability to get a combined SVL for all queues included on a report (now we manually calculate after exporting the report into excel). Same for all major data points (ASA, AHT, etc.)
  • Ability to include abandoned calls and an abandonment percentage which excludes short abandons on the Queue summary report. Now the report just shows total abandons and abandonment percentage so if we want to exclude short abandons we have to pull a separate report to find out how many calls abandoned in less than 10 seconds then calculate the "true abandoned number" (calls abandoned minus short abandons)
  • Ability to change what is considered a "short abandon" and then report on it. Right now the only option is the built in tracking of calls that abandoned in equal to or less than 10 seconds.
  • Ability to "save" an agents "default" skill profile so that any changes we make can be returned to "BAU" with a click of a button
  • quicker data/historical report retrieval
  • way to separate what we have listed as a queue name for reporting vs. what is used for the queue name in the "whisper" (the issue we had with WT queue naming conventions because we had to have the whisper be super precise)

Gladly really has all the information needed about a customer that you would need.If gladly does have a specified space for specific information you can add notes in multiple locations to remind you self of special circumstances. Gladly meets all our expectations and continues to provide a see less transaction

Usability
Because I've been using the platform for almost 3 years, and it has been a game changer in our line of work, making the work easier and faster. And in peak season, when we hire new agents, the training is way better and easier. So for me, using this platform has made my job better

Support Rating
Gladly is always available to support its customers. That being said, we really haven’t needed support. The product is intuitive and stable. The reality is the support we receive is more collaboration on how we can help Gladly continue to revolutionize this space.

We implemented in 2018 and were only given 8 weeks to do it...as per the direction of our parent company at the time. Serenova at the time responded well and we were able to go Live within 8-weeks...albeit the product overall was a big change and had gaps in features over our previous contact management solution.

It's been too many years...I don't remember. Except in 2021 we looked briefly at Amazon and Salesforce call center offerings. Both were too basic at the time that even if we got a great deal on licensing (we are a Salesforce house for other things), we couldn't easily (or at all) do things like Callbacks and some of the more robust flow buildouts that we have in place today with Lifesize.
