Pros

The system is easy to use. Simple to implement. My implementation Manager has been excellent. Very thorough and provides great instruction. The program itself is easy to use and very user friendly.

Cons

I wish the system could be launched from a desktop icon instead of logging onto the web each day.

Overall

I would recommend this to any colleagues that are in need of a similar program.

Pros

I had been working with another IVR company for about 5 years and the support I received from them was almost non-existent.

I recently switched to Five9 and the implementation was a breeze. The assistance I received went far beyond my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised that my application was pretty much constructed by Five9 and I did not have to do the implementation myself.

Also, they are very good at following up and checking how things are going. I have only been with them for a couple months now and we just went live less than 30 days ago, however I have a sense that this is going to work out great and I know that I will get great support whenever I need it.

Kudos to Five9 for your attention to customer service!!!

Jayson Fajardo does an Excellent job!!! Thanks

Cons

None so far... I had to put something here so it would accept the review....

Overall

I would recommend this company as they place a high priority on customer service. They seem to subscribe to the philosophy of under promise and over deliver which is right in line with how I run my business!

Pros

The VCC is a very user friendly system on both admin and agent interface. it has many functions and integrations that meets a call center's needs.

Cons

customer support is very great however, customer support audio is very low most of the time.

Overall

VCC is a great tool. in my 6 years of handling a BPO,VCC has all the functions a call center needs. there might be some few minor fine tuning and add-ons needed but that only depends on the type of campaign being run by a BPO and is not often. however, there are some go around to meet this needs but one should have sufficient knowledge on VCC and a decent knowledge of web based scripting.

Extrememy easy to install. No overhead. Just month to month fees. The best thing about Five9 is the Implementation Manager. They are your one point of contact for pretty much everything. They train you, help you with any issues, perform the set up with you. etc.
Great features. I like the Agent model because there is a lot of information available to them.
The training material is also great. There are videos and manuals and also training sessions you can join. This is all in addition to the individual training you will receive.

Pros

I don't know what I would've done without the help of my implementation manager, John. He helped me navigate through the system so that I knew all of the aspects that Five9 had to offer and was able to take advantage of everything that related to my campaigns. He helped me with a complex set up and fulfilled every off-the-wall request I had. We were up and running with our new system very quickly and he went above and beyond what I expected.

Cons

I am on the east coast so there was a little bit of a time difference since the implementation managers are based in CA.

Overall

Overall, I am thrilled with the Five9 system. I love the ease of use and all of the options that come with it. I am so impressed with the Implementation Manager that was assigned to us. I can't believe the amount of customization this system offers. I would recommend Five9 to anyone looking for a virtual call center.

The ability to add agents quickly is a large plus as well as having the access to log in and monitor the system and agents regaurdless of my location. The supervisor view and monitoring is great. Reports are easy to navigate and run.

Cons

At first the implimintation process was a little frustrating but as soon as this was brought to managments attention, the issues were addressed and corrected. They really went above and beyond to correct the concerns.

Overall

I would recommend this product to anyone who was looking for a lift in productivity, or even looking for a new dialer system. There is no need to put out the money for an in-house dialer system with the big boys anymore. The hosted solution is the way to go!

Pros

Alvin Sumagui, the implementation manager has been an excellent resource for the Epic Element team. I have used the dialer in the old 7.3 version and I am very impressed with the new version, 8.0. I specifically enjoy the new report generating process which is much more user friendly than in the old version.

Cons

In creating reports, it is not always easy to figure out the different parameters to be used. This sometimes leads to a lot of confusion and frustration, and in me ending up calling either Alvin or just regular customer support which results in a lot of time expenditure for us. Also some of the features in the supervisor application do not function as expected, e.g. Campaign Statistics do not update when refreshed.

Overall

Although problems with the Five9 dialer have been encountered, Alvin's excellent professionalism and technical support assistance has enabled us to overcome them and learn from them. We feel we can count on the 24/7 Customer Support your company provides, and almost every time we called in with a problem or a technical difficulty, the support we received was for the most part excellent.

Couldn't be happier. One of the best companies we have worked with in our 65 years in business. Even though the implementation was complicated at times, Five 9 and my personal training and implementation parner Nancy were there to hold my hand all the way.

Cons

No real cons. Sometimes you have to bend a little as you learn and cusomize to your operation, but considering the complexity of our system, and the features I'm using that I never imagined existed, I have no complaints

Overall

If you want to play like the big boys, but the expense of equipment and personel (not to mention staying on the cutting edge of the available IT) is way over your head, this is an elegant and affordable solution.

Pros

I am pleasantly surprised with the ease in getting the system connected and up and running from the start. I expected to encounter more techincal hurdles on both sides than we encountered - they were practically none. The training before implementation was very good and our representative Nancy Pancho was extremely helpful tailoring her training and setup to our specific needs and wants. We were not treated as "one size fits all" type of customer and that was much appreciated. I also appreciate the level of support I am able to get from Nancy and my other contacts at Five9. Communication and accountability have been very positive up to this point.

Cons

No real cons at this point other than I felt like there is an assumption on Five9's part that everyone has a certain level of technical understanding as to how a dialer (or your dialer works) and thus the sales process and following training started at that level. Luckily I (we) had a good understanding prior.

Overall

Overall the ease with implementation of the Five9 dialer as well as the excellent support during the first 60 days has exceeded our expectations.

No ability to flex up and down seat licenses in a cost effective manner. We run a call center for ticket sales. we will get a big contract to sell tickets for a concert series or season we may need 10-15 seats one month and 4 the next...it gets expensive to add and reduce seats.

Overall

Excellent, not a bad thing to say about the technology or the humans that support the application. The initial sales process was also handled very effectively.

Pros

No upfront costs, easy to implement, and easily scalable. No client software required which is a huge benefit to deployment and great for keeping costs low. Great online and automated reporting. Good high level customer service and care. Predictive Dialer dramatically increases productivity.

Cons

Slightly higher long distance rates. Slow Tier 1 support sometimes and delayed escalation.

Overall

Great for organizations looking for a turnkey, out-of-the-box contact center software and overall technology solution. http://www.five9.com

I thought the support I received from Akber was excellent. He understood our needs and helped me through the installation process.

Cons

We have had issues with the CTI and Salesforce adapter not working the way they should. We also had an issues with the Skipped calls not being logged correctly.

Overall

I would recommned Akber and I am still undecided on the application in general. It has good features, but the probelms I have had with the adapters and the skipped call features has been an issue

Pros

1NW Contact embraced the work at home agent model over the bricks and mortar model. We have many years of experience with processes and infrastructure requirements of contact management. The Five9 Hosted Platform gives us the functionality of our prior in-house "dialer", the array of servers, phone systems, and DS3's with far less internal support issues and staffing requirements, greater ease of use with vastly more flexibility and at a lower variable cost.

We just completed the setup of a relationship where we are selling a product for one of our clients and we needed to be able to "insert" sale transactions electronically into the customer's system. The Five9 support team acted as an extension of our own team in validating the sense of urgency, the trouble shooting and the project management with our customer's engineering team. This was not a trivial project, but John and his team were focused and committed to a successful timely implementation and they achieved one!

Cons

There are a few features we would like to see implemented relative to agent setup and campaign structuring but these are minimal compared to the benefit we obtain.

Overall

Five stars for Five9

Cons

IVR TTS voices could be a little smoother, sound less mechanical and choppy
Support for cellular Text SMS would be a nice

Will be awesome to have mobile access to lite-admin version

Overall

A year and a half ago when we first started demo-ing Five9 systems, the product had a lot of missing features and parts and seemed far from anything that would have met our demands. But a year later, after hundreds of con-calls, meetings, table top exercise, we have a system that will not only meet but exceed most call centers demands. This nothing but bears testimony to the fact how the CTO and his team were willing to work on our demands and in best possible turnaround have put this product on a fast-track lane. Today, we are thrilled to use the Five9 systems for its features, efficiency and most of all knowing the dev team thats backing the product. Cheers to CTO Jim Dvorking, Dave Van Everen, Akber Abbas, Steve Stone, Sam Shkrabov, Sergiy Krupnov and their entire Pleasanton team.

Pros

Easy to integrate with our Lead Management System and existing sales platform. We originally contracted with Five9 for outbound dialing campaigns only. After using the hosted solution in all 3 of our locations, we decided to take the application one step further and we now use Five9 for our complete telephony solution in our Indianapolis office. It has proven to be cost effective and easy to implement. Training new users is very simple. Although it's still early, we have seen significant increases in consumer contact and ultimately expect our conversion rates from to increase 2-3 fold.

Cons

Not really a "con", but for us to accomplish all of our initiatives, we will need to add more internal IT support. Five9's technology is robust and we have options now that we never had before. That said, we need to have at least one internal person at our organization who can assist us in optimizing all of Five9's power.

Overall

Overall, we are very pleased with the application. Considering the fact that we are dealing with a hosted solution that can integrate with all of our technologies very easily, we feel we made an excellent decision to partner with Five9. The support from Akber Abbas, our main contact, has been fantastic! He not only knew Five9's capabilities, he took the time to learn our processes, our goals, and guided us on how to use Five9 to it's fullest. Now it's up to us to follow utilize their system!

Pros

Ease of Implementation - We are an outsourced call center that work for a wide variety of clients. One of the things I love most about Five9 is how fast and easy it is to get a new campaign off the ground. We can have licenses added, create and configure a new campaign with custom IVR and other settings in 24 hours!

Customer Support - I have been very impressed with Five9's customer support. Often times we have clients with very specific and unexpected needs. The support staff at Five9 takes the time to meet with our clients, determine exactly what we need the system to do and finds or often creates a solution to accommodate exactly what our client is looking for.

Feature Richness - It has just about every bell and whistle you could ask for. In my experience anything they don't already have they are willing to make for you.

Cons

Its not free!

Overall

In my 10 years of call center experience I have used a hand full of other hosted solutions. I have used hosted solutions from: Aheeva, Contactual, TouchStar, and a few others. In my opinion Five9 is in a class of its own. Five9 has proven far superior in every way.

Pros

The support I have recieved from Robert Abot has been tremendous. We could have not made the necessary changes to increase our productivity and make this system function according to our needs without his help.
He has played a vital role in every step of the way.

Cons

We would like the integration with leads360 to be more seemless. The different dialers and timers have really made this a complicated integration. The system is very cumbersome to the sales reps..the have to take actions in two different systems (five 9 and leads 360).

Overall

We have made much progress in the integration. I would really like to see five9 driven by the actions in leads 360, not the other way around. The reps must have two different browsers open and documenting leads accurately is extremely difficult.

Pros

Virtual training tool is excellent. Very easy to use the application quick and simple tutorials. Allows for the script to be upload taking undue pressure off the agent, allowing for one screen used.

Cons

Uploading list was harder than it looked, bit confusing. Did not allow for incoming calls to be answered by the agent (dont know if my settings did not allow for that). Persons could tell you were calling from a softphone, given the quality in some areas.

Overall

Overall Recommendation- Very useful application, good value for money.

Pros

Five9 has brought an incredible amount of ease and flexibility to our Customer Care department. Five9 offers us full control over all of our campaigns with easy to use software and fantastic support. We are now working more efficiently thanks to the reporting Five9 offers. Since taking on Five9 as our main dialing software our Customer Care department has tripled in reps. Five9 has been there to aid in this growth with quick answers to all of our questions and fantastic hands on training.
There has not been a campaign we wanted to run that Five9 was not capable of handling. We currently have inbound, outbound, & automatic dialing campaigns running simultaneously. Five9 also worked very close with us during the merger of Leads 360 and our dialer.

Cons

While I think the reporting is acceptable, I feel it lacks something.

Overall

Five9 is a fantastic system that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a virtual calling system.

The Five9 call center software has increased productivity for our organization. Very easy to use, good reporting, and great support. Our implementation manager was there during and after the implementation phase. The predictive dialer was up and running in no time.

Cons

Reporting is great but can be a little better, more to come in the next release from what I hear.

Overall

I highly recommend this product for any call center environment, very easy to use and great support. www.five9.com
