User Testimonials
Five9PhoneBurner
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.

I think it would be great in any mid size to large scale sales team. With our ability as managers to go through every call or even join calls live is a huge way that it can help any sales manager and team really ramp up their sales strategy.

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.
Read full review
  • It is super easy to upload the lead list and keep everything in a unified and easy to use record.
  • Time savings in the case of calling more than 50 people during a single day for example.
  • Extremely friendly interface and reliable software.
Read full review
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.

  • Could be a little better on the pricing.
  • Could offer a better central administrative function.
  • Could provide more updates to the app.

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.

The capacity to stack enormous records and dial those down quickly, without manual cycles, is the best aspect of the application. Another incredible component is the more current rundown stacking device, which permits you to make another envelope for the contacts on the fly, settling on sorted out decision crusades truly simple to begin.

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.

Every interaction I have had with any member of their support team has been pleasant. Issues are quickly addressed and their response time is excellent through the chat service.

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.

We selected PhoneBurner because it is very easy to integrate with Zoho CRM and if you have a silver plan, you can do a lot such as Sending SMS and unlimited calling, you can also record and drop voicemail, timezone calling is automatic. It is a good dialer to use if you are part of sales.

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.

Return on Investment
  • ROI was not as anticipated due to lacking reporting functionality - Negative
  • Allowed us to develop a geographically dispersed call center workforce in response to the pandemic - Positive
  • Provided true omnichannel capability that we lacked in the past (Voice/Voicemail/Chat). Positive
  • CRM integration (with Salesforce) was not as expected. Negative
  • Bang for the Buck just was not where it needed to be. High cost solution. Negative.

  • [I believe] it has cost me a fortune in wasted time trying to make the Hubspot integration [work] (to no avail).
  • [I believe] if the Hubspot integration actually worked, we would probably get decent ROI from the speedier calling.
