  InContact allows us to utilize our global staff to ensure our guests receive prompt response time to their phone calls, emails, and chats. We are able to skill and staff our agents across multiple sites to increase efficiency. The software was easy to learn and adapt to for our users when we switched. The tool gives us access to data both real-time and historical needed to make decisions and operate effectively. We are able to have multiple tools (WFM, Quality, ACD, Reporting, etc.) in one platform.We skill agents with both voice and digital (email and chat) skills. Because InContact treats chat as a digital media type, it will route both chats and phone calls at the same time which is challenging and limits our ability to utilize the omnichannel feature as we would want to. Without case ownership on email, each reply after the initial email may route to a different agent, which creates challenges with continuity of the communication. Email reporting has been and continues to be a challenge. It is difficult for us to see how many emails were handled on a certain day if the email was handled on a different day than when it came into the system.

  N/A.You can't forecast for email or chat; you can only forecast for voice! We got this tool under the impression that we'd be able to forecast all our channels. Feels like a bait-and-switch. Reporting for digital (chat and email) is not intuitive at all. We don't trust some of the data - it looks like it's double-counting tickets or something. Prebuilt reports are not helpful - nothing is provided at the interval level. If you enter a range of dates, you'll get a sum for that range. So you have to go to the Report Templates and hope that what you want is somewhere in there, and you have to spend a bunch of time building the report you want. It's been almost six months with this tool and I still have yet to figure out how to get productivity by interval (cases handled, solved, etc.). Other reports just flat-out don't work. For example, the Time Utilization report would be great to see our shrinkage so I can make my forecast more accurate. But it doesn't work! I'm on a Known Issue ticket with at least seven other companies for this specific issue. I'm currently trying to create a forecast in CXone based on the last three months of data, but it's forecasting no volume on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Tuesdays. I thought this might be due to holidays, but I updated all my Special Dates, and none fell on a Tuesday. The fact that it's not forecasting anything for a day of the week that has historical data on all past Tuesdays is incredibly frustrating. We meet with our account manager every week. He is nice and helpful, but he's just a middle-man.
