Genesys has been a great provider, who is always willing to provide support and resolution, and provides excellent resources to assist in our growth and use of the system. Being involved in the Summit opened our eyes to the full breadth of what the platform is capable of, and showed that we have only scratched the surface. We have been able to takeaway and plan for the functions we will implement in the future to continue to improve our services.

We chose Genesys Cloud through a selection process where we compared it to other options. We had been on the Pure Connect product prior to the transition and were pretty happy with that product, which certainly also played a part in our final selection. The build out and transition went fairly smooth, but after going live and now having used the product for 3 years, I have been surprised to find some things, things that I considered to be no brainers for a system that had been around already for at least 8 years, were missing in the new system. A poorly designed Messenger platform that doesn't really work as a substitute for a chat option. The inability to transfer ACD calls directly to a business user's voicemail. The inability to include a stand alone phone in a ring group. The inability to stream hold music from a third party provider. These are all examples of options that were all readily available within the Pure Connect software, which Genesys obtained by buying out Interactive Intelligence. All in all, I'm not as impressed with Genesys Cloud as I thought I would be, and although we have signed a new service contract we opted to go with a year to year plan so that we could leave our options open to selecting an alternative in the coming years. That all depends on what Genesys is able to do in the next 6 months or so.
