Very Useful
Five9 works excellent for incoming calls, voicemail, call records, ability to leave notes on calls, set callbacks, and search session history. Caller ID is a plus as well. When incoming calls come in the callers info I'd populated and set location configured with other software to link up with.
PROSWhat I like most about five9 is its reliability. I don't have to worry about its software glitching or failing on me. I love how easy it is and it allows you to set call backs.
CONSI can't think about any con's with using this software. I have zero complaints. I reccomend using this software to anyone.

Amazing Change Management Tool
We've using Five9 for change management and some of our workforce engagement, and it has been a great experience so far when paired with our learning management system for learning and improvement assignment. The UI is fairly intuitive, so out managers and directors have been quick to pick it up and apply to our growing initiatives.
PROSFive9 support is fantastic, and the UI intuitive enough for the majority of our managers and directors to pick up relatively quickly. We use NICE Engage as well, and this platform is far superior.
CONSFive9 has not been as widely adopted within our managers as WalkMe had been amongst our general users. The UI is easy to use, but could use some updating.
Reasons for switching to Five9
Updated interface. Needed more recording functions.

Easy to use but Crashes Constantly
Overall there is more reliable call center software out there besides Five9. I would prefer to use software that was more difficult to use and would require more instruction than an easy to use software like Five9 that is less reliable with its glitching, freezing and shutting down.
PROSThe software itself is easy to use after some brief training time. It is very easy to receive inbound calls and there is a easy to recognize sound when a call is coming in and outbound calls are easy to make in the dialer. There are many ways to customize the user experience by adding different 'roles" for employees that are using the software. This way you can customize which employees receive what calls based on their department and what they are trained to handle.
CONSThe software crashes A LOT. As a user I have had the software crash multiple times while I was in a chat, on a phone call with a customer or in the middle of writing an email. I have had the software freeze during a chat and then log me out of the system.
Reasons for switching to Five9
Truly was harder to use for our agents but was more reliable.

Highly Recommend Five9, after failed implementation of 3 other apps
Quick deployment, reliable product and allowed us to significantly reduce headcount and improve operational efficiency
PROSAfter implementing several other call center software programs that did not meet our requirements, Five9 offers such a rich feature/function set and meets all our needs. The sales, implementation and support experience has been superior compared to their competitors.
CONSFrom and IT perspective, the help desk/customer support team's knowledge is lacking. Most of our inquiries are not able to be addressed by 1st level
Reasons for switching to Five9
We experienced regular issues/outages with PureCloud. Bad experience with implementation and support of the product

Easy to use
I really enjoyed the simplicity of use. I think once the bugs are worked out it will be a fantastic software.
PROSThe concept that you get the calls automatically and it keeps track of every call and time on the calls.
CONSeven if I was receiving calls regularly the page would keep timing out and expiring. I had to keep logging out and unplugging my softphone and plugging it back in before logging back into five9 in order to keep receiving more calls.

I'm an independent contractor and I use what the company I'm contracted to uses. usually they use liveops.

Good dialer for a small or new contact center!
Pretty good with ups and downs, it's just a good product to start your small contact center.
PROSEasy to use and implement, agents and people, in general, understand how to use it pretty fast due to a simple interface.
CONSHas some limitations and needs to improve in reporting and analytics.

Best for inbound call processes
We used this daily for inbound and outbound call process. Didn't use any other so no comparisons but the UI was really simple with well defined tabs and a whole contact list.Once the agent got a call, it beeped to let the person know that he has got a call. However, there were real time updates as well over the manager's screen where he could see who is on call and who is on break which was helpful in managing the workflow throughout the day.There were call drops at times or no voice due to some network issues but overall it performed well.
PROSSimplest UI with well defined tabsDisplayed everything important on screen, call time and everything elseManager/supervisor panel had a detailed information and helped in managing work flow
CONSIf there was a little bit of network trouble, the call dropped or there was no voice from the other end. Had to restart the station at times.

Pretty pleased overall!
Reliable software for handling our incoming calls, like the fact that I can define campaigns and see where each call is coming from, like the reporting features for the most part (see one drawback below in "cons"). Connection is pretty good most of the time if using a hard-wired headset. Good customer service, very responsive and good at following up.
CONSDon't like the fact that since we've installed Skuid we cannot get Five9 to sync records with Salesforce, which has created numerous issues with duplicate records. Was working with you all to get this situated, but the attempted fix created a massive crash in the middle of our business day and I haven't been able to revisit for fear of doing that again. Maybe we can plan to work on it with you after hours... Also don't like the fact that the reporting reports "ready state" whether in "ready voice" or "ready VM" or "ready voice and VM." Would like to have a separate reporting for "ready VM," which is a state we would not like to pay our agents for b/c it does not result in live answers, and "ready voice" or "ready voice + VM," which are states we do want to pay our agents for b/c the calls are answered live when those are the choices (unless all agents busy, of course).

Unbiased Review
They provide business solutions on a reasonable price. Their customer service is amazing. I haven't had any issues with how their tech or customer support team handle any issues we bring up. They are very personable. I just hope they launch web app for supervisor view that's included in the premium.
PROSIt's easy to use and accessible as long as internet is available. Supervisor views are customizable to fit preference and requirements. Agent applet/softphone app is very user-friendly. It is not intimidating because it looks simple yet professional.
CONSReporting is a pain. It does not show the numbers that will make sense in a BPO setting. Java based application for Supervisor is also excruciating especially if Java version in the PC is not compatible. Good thing agent applet has web-based option now.

4 year customer. Five9 is simple yet robust, meeting most of our needs.
Robust reporting, simple agent interface, no expensive software or equipment required, very supportive and available customer service. Quickly Scaleable. Great for small, medium, and large call centers.
CONSAgent script requires HTML to write and is only one page. If call flow can be complicated, this is a problem. Dynamic scripting is a need for us as we grow, so this is becoming a problem. If a feature does not exist, if you put in a feature request. It is highly unlikely that they will develop the future you need though. We have experienced 3-5 service outages over there almost 4 years we have used them. This has lost us money. If they had a good interface for texting, emailing, and chatting with customers, that would be nice as well.

Five9
We have been using the software for more than 6 years. Five9 was able to help create custom reports & be able to download files at a certain time. Were also able to help with the recording of calls & help us remain compliant at the same time
PROSworks as a dialer should. easy visibility to what the Agent is currently doing or has done throughout the day. easily customizable (Supervisor screen). Tons of reports available without having to customize. Able to customize the Agents screens with fields available. Very little downtime or issues & have the ability to activate GR fairly quickly. always are aware of any maintenance & downtime expected (a couple of weeks notice normally)
CONSsometimes following up on open tickets take longer than it should. Accessing an Engineer is not always easy. Limited to customize some screens. If there are issues, difficult to find out as not very forthcoming of information

FIVE 9 as an Innovative and Efficient tool for Outsourcing
Voicecall plays a vital role in our job since this is where our operations revolve and how we resolve our customer's concern. I could definitely say that Five 9 is an effective softphone where calls are effectively monitored and delivered to us. There are also seldom reports of tool problem when it comes to this platform, it's performance is deliberate and helpful in making sure our workflow is smooth.
CONSOne enhancement that can certainly be helpful to users and management is if the tabs used are smaller and if the call history can be overviewed through hovering through the icons. Without having to leave your current call. This way you may check on other variables from five 9 even though the softphone is minimized.
