Five9 Cloud Contact Center Software

Pros

The ease of use is really good. User friendly for agents. Reduces the need for multiple programs.

Cons

Call distribution may not be the best. Some agents receive 100 calls some receive 40. Reporting features are cloudy due to dispositions

Pros

Just being objective, if you work in management, Five9 is a great tool to drill down on where your employees allocate their daily shift time. There are dispositions for "Ready To Make Calls", "Emails", "Breaks", "Training", "Meals", etc. In a way, it may be seen as remote micromanagement, but if that's your style...

Cons

I don't like when you're on a call and another call comes in. The interface is not very intuitive placing your current call on hold and grabbing the second one. Also, when people leave you voicemails, it doesn't provide you the time they called which is kind of annoying. I like to know if my prospective client called early in the morning, late in the evening, etc.

Worth the money. Delivers on their value proposition.

Pros

Highly customizable and enterprise capable. Scales easily. Sharp developers and very hands on sales through partner vendors.

Cons

Not an inexpensive solution so don’t expect to save much in the long run. Can be somewhat cumbersom to integrate with apps that are not already prebuilt.

Pros

Its an automatical dialer that will get your sales people hooked up to calls. I have nothing else positive to share, ehich is sad.

Cons

Most sales people could make many more dials working manually. The five9 team made alot of promises and didnt deliver on them. The salesperson seemed knowledgeable and high level but frankly was just very good at rebuttals and telling the customer what they wanted to hear. When it got time to purchase and use the software there were a number of items that just werent true or left out:
Easy training
Easy startup
Ability to leave voicemails automatically (tech person setting us up was adamant about us NOT using this).
Left out that we needed to buy lines
Left out that it would be more money to have local numbers.

Additionally, these guys bill you for an extra month after you cancel. The no contract contract or month to month, is in fact month to every few months. Talking to management about Coming ip with resolutions or not paying for services unrendered has been ridiculous.

Pros

This software is very versatile and very easy to use. It can be used for a wide variety of businesses.

Cons

It’s very expensive and it seems to be only one person for sales or customer service. But there is a great response time

Pros

The team I am currently working with at Five9 have been wonderful. We are moving to the HTML version, which is more visual appealing and less clunky than the Java version.

Cons

You must answer the phone through your headset. There is no option to answer through the computer/speakers.

Pros

I liked to be able to customize the users. The software was pretty simple and easy to learn. It was a pretty good call center for what we needed initially.

Cons

We found the system to be a little glitchy and a few calls were dropped. It had limited capabilities. We would have kept it but decided to go into a different direction for our needs.

For the money this system is solid.

Pros

We like the ease of use for the user, and manager. The system tutorials are very good, this helps the manager and user alike. Good system for the money.

Cons

Doesnt have the bells and whistles of other competitive products. The user might seem cheated if they have see other systems like this one.

Pros

It does the job of managing call centers and routing calls to call center agents. It is easy to operate once the system is up and running.

Cons

The user interface is rather archaic. Integration through the use of its API is possible, but it takes work.

Please stop blaming us for the problems of five9 it is unprofessional and does not show that you value your customers satisfaction and is a little disheartening to be called a liar and to call our employees liars.

Pros

Speeds up outbound dialing exponentially and when we first got it it worked seamlessly. Ease of use and has a good amount of reporting tools and features that make doing statistics a breeze.

Cons

We have been having session expires and forced logouts non stop everyday and it has added a lot of stress to me as a business owner, the tech team at five 9 have made us do so much work doing screen captures and saving all kinds of logs and recording sessions that i feel like im doing their job for them, We have even been accused of "lying" and "making up these problems" which makes no sense as it has hampered the success of my business. if they could just fix these technical issues we would have no complaints but its has been a nightmare doing so.

I was the system administrator of an Online pharmacy which has several call center offices, here is where I was able to setup, administer and customize Five9.

Pros

Ease of setup and customization, very intuitive administration dashboard, an infinite amount of customization options, I love this cloud call center application/service.
Their support is second to none, I dealt with their support team many times and I have to say I was very pleased with their willingness to help.

Cons

No any cons I found while administering and using Five9. I am struggling to come up with something I did not like about this cloud call center service

Five9 was a huge investment into our call center.

Pros

The reporting features impress me daily. There is a wealth of information coming through your call center each day. If you're not capturing it properly or tracking it, you losing revenue and productivity. Five9 helps you grow your business by not just collecting the data, but understanding it. You'll be able to identify time waste and increase the quality of caller experience

Cons

If you're not going to do anything with the data, don't collect it. The reporting features are awesome, so if you're not into that, this may not be right for you. It's also more expensive that other entry-level systems. I wish Five9 would offer phone #s and extensions.

Pros

I love the reporting capabilities in Five9. After working with Cisco for the past 3 months, I've realized how much easier and customizable the reporting tools are in Five9.

Cons

The functionality could be a little bit better. Being able to toggle between calls when you put a client on hold is a MUST and I'm shocked it's taken this long for Five9 to address this issue. And as much as I love the reporting capabilities, sometimes interpreting the data is not the easiest and customer service does not provide you with any help. An example would be running two separate reports on the same data, but acquiring different results. Data often does not match when it should.

I bought this service to integrate in in netsuite. They promise me to refund the amount in case the service doesn't meet my needs, this not happend. A lot of emails to the customer care and administrative rep without answer. Terrible experience, absolutely NOT reccomended!

Pros

Absolutely nothing of positive, al lot of missing functionalities in netsuite integration. Terrible customer care!

Cons

Terrible experience, not adeguate pre-sales support, not adeguate technical support, no answer from administrative rep.

Pros

It's been reliable as far as the integrity of our calls. Call recording and reporting are up to expectations.

Cons

Five9 is somewhat pricey for what you receive, and the value proposition is questionable at times. Also complex to navigate and become accustomed to.

Pros

allows you to integrate existing software to streamline productivity. I use Salesforce with CRM and it works great.

Cons

Just like other Five9 software it is the most expensive on the market. I would like to see the price go down.

Pros

Five9 has all the information you will need to make the right judgement calls for your call center in a reasonable price.

Cons

Technical Support has room for improvement still. In the last year, this particular service had improved tremendously.

Pros

The main one is that I would like to be on "ready" while being on a campaign without receiving inbound calls. Basically pause my status on the campaign to receive regular calls.

Cons

Technical Support has room for improvement still. In the last year, this particular service had improved tremendously.

It would be great to complete a form online that would walk through how a campaign would be set up, then it would set up a sandbox automatically that can be tweaked. It has been difficult trying to figure out how a campaign should be set up using excel spreadsheets or Visio and walking through manually.

Pros

All the functionality that is available for our Contact Center. There are so many options to choose from.

Cons

I am not much of a techie person, so learning the system and understanding the new terminology has been a challenge.

Pricey but effective

Pros

Ability to increase dials going out accordingly to users and hot times... Customized dispositions and effective calling sessions and call history

Cons

It's a bit pricey... Connection times between prospects and users are sometimes off and needs to be frequently adjusted
