Pros Genesys Cloud provides a live platform where we can take immediate action in a fast-paced environment, which is something we haven't had the ability to do in the previous telephony system we had. And the insights that it provides is invaluable. Cons Some metrics can be hard to find, however this space is constantly improving. Also we found calling people internally (both users having Genesys Cloud), means we are not able to retain a recording. Switched from [Avaya Experience Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/212871/Aura-Call-Center-Elite/) No live reporting, and changes were very slow to make. Not agile. Review Source AT Alejandra T. BU Regional Sales Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Genesys CRM CX Makes the difference " January 21, 2025 5.0 Timeline of the project si half the usual timeline from other vendors. Easy to use and intuitive for users. The payback, once implemented, as a multi-channel tool is awesome. Pros Fast and easy to implement. Lots of functionality and great APIs to integrate with almost anything. Cons Pricing is high. You must do a Business Case to evaluate ROI and TCO. Switched from [Avaya UCaaS](https://www.capterra.com/p/1174/CRM-Central/) Required because of obsolescence. The approach of the evaluation was to do a complete Technological Refresh, moving to the cloud for better performance and updating of new versions. Review Source cM ciara M. Head of Business Development Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful but dated, great engine under a clunky bonnet" May 22, 2026 3.0 I have been using it for about six years now, so this is coming from long term, day to day experience rather than a short trial. It is a solid platform that has supported my career well, particularly in leadership where visibility and control matter. That said, it has not evolved as quickly as I would have liked, and you do start to notice the gaps when you compare it to more modern tools. It requires a bit of patience and a willingness to work around some of its limitations, which may not suit everyone. From a commercial lens, it delivers value if you lean into its strengths and have the right setup behind it. It is dependable, but not particularly exciting to use, and that probably sums it up best. If you want something robust and proven, it is a safe choice, but if ease and modern UX are priorities, there are areas that could definitely be improved. Pros What I have always appreciated is the depth of features and how well it supports a structured sales and support environment at scale. Running a team of SDRs, the routing, reporting, and visibility are genuinely strong and give me what I need to manage performance properly. It does a good job of syncing across devices which suits how I work between desktop and mobile throughout the day. From a value for money perspective, you can justify the cost if you are actually using the full capability of the platform. Customer support has been reliable over the years, especially when dealing with more complex issues that need proper attention. Once you get past the initial setup, it becomes part of your daily workflow and does its job consistently. It is not trying to be everything, so things like image editing or video editing are not relevant here, but for what it is built to do, it delivers. Cons If I am being honest, it feels quite clunky and not particularly modern in terms of its out of the box experience. The UI could do with a proper refresh because some areas feel dated and harder to navigate than they should be. Ease of use is not its strongest point, especially for new starters who need time and support to get up to speed. There is also a heavy reliance on internet access, and the lack of meaningful offline capability can be frustrating when you are on the go. For a platform at this price point, I would expect more intuitive setup and less dependency on workarounds or additional configuration. While support is good when you reach them, self serve resources are not always the easiest to navigate quickly. It works, but it does not always feel efficient. Review Source SM Sherry M. Executive Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Expensive but worth it" March 12, 2026 5.0 Overall using Genesys Cloud CX is very efficient, although not easy to learn. It takes some time to learn how to use it, but it is worth it. Pros There are many pros with Genesys Cloud CX such as having everything in one platform (phone calls, email, texting, etc). It makes helping our customers so much faster. The built in AI is always a plus! Cons The only cons, per se, of Genesys Cloud CX are that it was a bit difficult when first setting it up. It has taken some time to learn it. Other than that, it is one of the more expensive programs or platforms. Review Source OR Oliver R. Owner Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best contact center I have worked with. Great for scaling up sales." June 8, 2025 5.0 Best software for managing communication. I am happy with it and sticking with it. It provides all the support and services we needed. Pros Simple to use and offers first-class connectivity. Makes calling so much quick by integrating it with other platforms. Absolutely friendly customer support making the quality much better. Moreover, all the features can be managed by admin dashboard giving full control. Cons Now I do not have problems with this tool. However, during purchasing and launching, I needed assistance from their team just to be sure that I was doing the right thing. Review Source Jordan M. HR Generalist Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective, Clear, Useful, just a bit annoying." August 19, 2025 3.0 Only service I have regularly used for engaging with external vendors and customers as an HR Rep. Works well, just need some quality of life changes. Pros Simple to use deskless calling service with the ability to forward calls and review voicemails. I enjoy that I can easily forward messages to direct members of our team for feedback as well as leave them notes. The caller ID, volume options, and interface is well done. Automatically connects to my device profile with my custom controls and settings which is a nice feature. Directory works really well and I could easily contact someone within the company if I had to. Cons The ringer options and customization for sounds is very minimal. I found them all to be pretty pitchy and difficult to stomach on a regular basis. There is also no way to mute or ignore a call for our team phone line. I end up just muting the entire site which is not helpful. If this was adjusted or changed, I would consider this product top-tier. Review Source JB Janelle B. Supervisor Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comprehensive and User-Friendly Customer Experience Solution" March 21, 2025 5.0 The overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX is generally positive, especially for businesses looking to streamline their customer service operations. The platform’s user-friendly interface makes it easy for agents and admins to manage customer interactions across multiple channels. Its cloud-based setup allows for quick deployment and flexibility, which is ideal for businesses of all sizes, especially those with remote teams. Pros Genesys works well for remote teams and integrates with other systems, all while keeping costs down by removing the need for a lot of IT maintenance. The features offered is amazing Cons Despite its many strengths, Genesys Cloud CX has a few downsides. Some users experience a learning curve when navigating advanced features or setting up customized workflows. Additionally, while the platform offers powerful integrations, working with third-party systems can sometimes be complex or limited. For smaller businesses, the subscription fees and costs for premium features may be a bit high. Occasional system bugs or downtimes have been reported, which can disrupt operations, and support response times for non-critical issues can sometimes be slower than expected.

Overall, the product is great and easy to use but as noted before the support is where I found them lacking. Pros It's relatively easy to provision the system once Genesys sets it up. You can have a basic system up and running pretty quick. This is especially true if you use the voice service or a service that is easy to integrate. Cons Genesys support lacks in almost all aspects. It is frustrating and difficult to get answers at times. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate technical support engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cluttered tool which can be so much better." March 3, 2025 3.0 It is overall an ok experience could be very good with some major updates. Pros Overall features are nice with the inbuilt mute button or the amount of information it gives, like lets say we are on queue and we can see others who are on queue and for how long they are there and on what team, once we learn about all the features it is very easy to use. Cons The call assignment is random and not as per first come first serve while on queue, navigation is very difficult with important buttons being very small and takes time to search if u are a new user.

May 26, 2026 4.0 Pros The omnichannel makes customer support very easy and transfers them to AI chat or email channels. Makes it easy to manage calls with customers with a safe and secure network. Cons It is quite a high price point & the learning curve is quite steep which requires a lot of training to get over the curve Review Source DB Darshan B. Manger Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Contact center Migration Experience" July 22, 2024 4.0 Over migration experience and operation is good, Product is reliable. Pros UI, Reporting, IVR capabilities, Compliance Cons Work force engagement and Management Solutions Switched from [MiContact Center Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/214930/MiCloud-Contact-Center-Business/) Capacity, Compliance, Features, volume limits Review Source AP Amanda P. Manager, Business Technology Solutions Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Genesys Cloud Implementation" May 11, 2021 4.0 Our overall experience has been good. We have built great relationships with Genesys support staff and other Genesys users. We have seen good movement with new capabilities since we moved over to the platform and have confidence that we will continue to be partners with Genesys to continue enhancing the product for years to come. Pros The fact that we could move all of our telephony (agents and non-agents) off of an on-premise solution and to the cloud in a very fast period of time was tremendous. The ability to shift all of the support out of IT and into the business has allowed us to optimize our customer's experience in a very agile manner. The buildout of each of the channels has been slow for us due to internal reasons, but we have many capabilities that we never had before moving to Genesys Cloud. Cons WEM and reporting are not ideal in Genesys Cloud. Genesys has continued to invest and enhance in these areas, but they have a way to go. Pure Voice and how calls get routed through our virtual edges causes some issues from time to time. We rely on Genesys to help us dive into those issues so that we can understand what causes them and learn to optimize our processes to avoid them in the future. Going through some pains here has taught us a lot but the issues themselves aren't ideal. There have been some data lags when we have tried to access our data through the UI or APIs. This happens more frequently than we would hope for and causes some issues with managing our agents/call centers.

July 25, 2022 4.0 Customer experience is improved and and marketing is working better. Pros Remediating our on premise legacy aging PBX & Call recording suites of applications and hardware. Cons Some of the integration points were weaker and more difficult than the Genesys Connect solution, as GC was getting up to speed 2 years ago.

October 1, 2022 5.0 Pros Our contact center infrastructure is complex. Genesys Cloud CX integrates with existing legacy applications and is used by agents in several divisions within our organization. Cons Chat bot was not easy to develop and deploy as we would like. Also, Genesys Cloud CX out-of-box reporting and dashboard is robust, but reports are limited to a certain number of rows. Alternatives considered [NiCE CXone](https://www.capterra.com/p/134775/inContact-Call-Center-Software/)[Five9](https://www.capterra.com/p/132405/Five9/)[Amazon Connect](https://www.capterra.com/p/234575/Amazon-Connect/) Reason for choosing Genesys Cloud CX We looked at solutions from Amazon, five9, and Nice. We ultimately went with Genesys Cloud CX because Genesys' product roadmap aligns with our organization's roadmap and can integrate with MS Teams, ServiceNow, and Salesforce CRM. Genesys Cloud CX architecture and interface make it easier for our internal teams to maintain and update before contacting Genesys support for assistance. Additionally, Genesys periodically update Genesys Cloud CX with new releases and enhancements, many of which we are looking to implement once available. Review Source TS Ted S.

Pros Nothing, phones rely on internet and are problematic from the start. Cons They are very unreliable. Vendor is at our site weekly, issues never get resolved.

Workforce Management Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Genesys Cloud CX Review" October 10, 2024 3.0 Good system, but has reliability issues and lacks ease-of-use functionality. Pros Forecasting capabilities. Robust reporting system. Cons Isolated applications. Clunky interface. Not user friendly. Review Source OM Oliver M. Journalist Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better than most CX softwares so definitely a must try." September 2, 2024 5.0 One of the best and most widely used Customer Experience products for a 360 customer service software. Pros Has a dense set of features and applications for customer facing solutions. Cons It can become very easy to overly rely on Genesys without integrating it even when integrations are currently being implemented. This is because it has so much to offer it becomes distracting. Review Source DJ Danny J. Resource Lead Utilities Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Genesys Cloud CX it could be better." April 18, 2023 3.0 The Realtime & reporting aspect of Genesys Cloud CX is an improvement from previous versions. Pros The new drag and drop feature was a welcomed addition, this allows quick & easy updated for singular exceptions. Cons Lack of features from previous versions. These range from being unable to add multiple exceptions into a full schedule for all agents selected to not having a meeting scheduler built in, in a contact centre of more than 5000 agents & having to manually add individual exceptions to be spread out across a week is a tiring task.

Customer Service Representative Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An Honest Review Of Genesys Cloud" December 1, 2022 5.0 Pros Genesys is one of the best platforms I've used as a Call Center Agent. It's spaces are maximized for making sure that accessibility and efficiency is achieved for employers and employees. It is easy to navigate through it and document your calls. It's overall performance is 10/10. Call quality from audio to documentation is reliable. I think it is a revolutionary tool unlike other platforms that are classified as cloud phones it has more monitoring options to make calls go smoothly not just for teammates/agents but also for supervisors. Cons I dont have any requests or suggestions for Genesys since it's really a top tier tool. Review Source Marek K. Sr. CX Consultant Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and quick adoption able" November 10, 2021 5.0 Pros Liked most the simplicity of use and integration.

Reason for choosing Genesys Cloud CX Compliant, quality and consistent information presented by them through out all 4 stages of the sourcing process. Review Source JJ Jonathan J. Manager Reporting & WFM Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Genesys is way ahead of it's competitors in multiple quadrants" February 2, 2023 5.0 Moving from a legacy system, to a modernized cloud based solution, cleaned up all our on-premise infrastructure, simplifying our technology stack. As well as providing us the ability to easily configure and deploy new IVRs and Callflows, while giving us the ability to quickly start using advanced features like Speech & Text Analytics and Workforce Management Pros \- Ease of implementation & configuration- Workforce Management- Pre-built Integrations Cons \- Agent Scripting needs a rebuild, it's old and hard to work with- Importing new agents is old and hard work with, needs to keep up with the features and functionality- The Salesforce External Routing feature isn't well documented or understood Reason for choosing Genesys Cloud CX Cost, ease of deployment and ease of maintenance Review Source MS Michael S. System Administrator Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective, easy to configure software for mid-sized contact centres" April 10, 2018 4.0 PureCloud has helped us modernize and improve how we interact with our customers. It has opened new channels to connect with us, and allows us to continue updating and improving the client experience. For the business, our Agents have a clean interface that lets them focus on the clients, our Supervisors are empowered to monitor and manage their teams, and our Administrators can respond quickly to changing demands. Pros The software was easy to configure, but powerful enough to handle significant customization for our groups. Interface is intuitive for our agents, and the features for call routing have allowed us to streamline the call-handling process. We have a half-dozen different teams using the platform, and each has unique features to meet their needs. As an administrator, changes can be made quickly to almost any aspect of the configuration allowing me to rapidly respond to any requests. The interface to make changes is entirely web-based, so only an internet connection is needed to do so. Further, having a cloud-based service has allowed us to quickly respond to service outages of our internet and phone systems. Situations that might have otherwise stopped operations entirely now require only a brief outage before agents can begin working again in a new location or with new devices. The provided API is flexible and powerful, which has allowed for further automation and functionality to be built in. Cons Supervisor and administrator interfaces are not as well designed as the agent experience. Simple and common tasks are often inconvenient, or difficult to find. Reporting capabilities are sufficient but inflexible. A relatively small number of out-of-box reports are available, and there are some key measures missing from those provided. Access of the raw data through the API allows more flexibility, but with significant additional work. External chat (customer to agent) is currently poor, with a very basic and limited experience. The internal chat is much more feature-rich, but is only used between system users. Support response is quick for Tier 1, but complex issues requiring escalation can be slow to be resolved, this is partially helped by the availability of a priority line for emergencies.

Communications Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "99% Sunny and Hot with the odd occasional downpour" November 15, 2018 5.0 The overall experience we have had is a great one with a few niggles I would say to describe the downsides. The main experience moving past the building and testing stage into full BAU was another great experience as the support during the early stages was nothing less than exemplary. The issues that abounded with our previous dialler software supplier have now been remedied by our decision to align our business with the Genesys product Purecloud. We are now investing our time and efforts to implement Pureclouds growing functionality to unify our communications Chat, Email, SMS and Social and integrate these with the voice channel to improve the customer journey everytime they wish to communicate with us. Pros The ease of use when building the infrastructure to run all the different brands and departments here at Grove & Dean, the stability of the Platform as we are open 24/7 and have only a small team in support of the system. The ease of use, for the agent with the simple yet full featured agent interface and desktop environment. The roll out of new features or improvement of existing ones, the visionary updates from the Genesys senior team and the ability for the users to influence the shape of the platform through the ideas Lab and the fact that they "LISTEN" to the users. Lastly, which is not really a software benefit, the community of users that are sharing their experiences for the greater good for all. Cons The support post "LIVE" - Processes too long, lack of knowledge and experience in the first line support team, no immediacy, solutions not always valid and some of the Self Service referral techniques support attempt to use to justify their solutions.
