Genesys Alternative Using Voximplant Kit

Overview

Genesys and Voximplant are likely to pop onto the radar of any organization looking for a CCaaS solution, but for different reasons. Genesys is a recognized brand because of its base of customers using its legacy on-premise infrastructure solutions. Only recently has it entered the CCaaS segment.

In contrast, Voximplant is a cloud communications pioneer, known for its partnerships with best of breed AI engines. It is laser focused on using automation to improve contact center efficiency. Evaluators should carefully consider the two CCaaS solutions because they offer different levels of flexibility, features, ease of deployment and prices.

Genesys

Voximplant was founded in 2010 when it introduced the first serverless CPaaS platform to the market. The complementary Kit CCaaS offering was introduced in 2020. It is so easy to use that you can deploy a complete Kit contact center in minutes, while also providing limitless flexibility to customize your service. Kit builds on the company’s extensive voice communications expertise with innovative speech recognition and natural language processing features.

Kit is deployed globally on a diverse network of cloud services for resiliency. Customers purchase the service directly from Voximplant through its self-serve portal at prices 59% lower than Genesys Cloud.

Founded in 1990, Genesys is in the midst of a long term transition from supplier of legacy on-premises contact center infrastructure to CCaaS services. It faces all the challenges of a technology company adapting to a generational technology shift, including competing demands on its development resources, the financial pressure of adapting to a subscription business model, and managing new technology suppliers.

The Genesys Cloud service is based on technology the company acquired over the past few years. It is deployed on the AWS cloud platform and sold by legacy Genesys reseller partners.

Baseline Features

Both vendors provide a comprehensive set of baseline contact center features in their offerings, including ACD with skills-based routing; IVR; Modern GUI for agent, supervisor and admin; Call recording and APIs.

Voximplant vs Genesys at a Glance

Voximplant
Genesys

Conversational IVR

NLP powered by Google Dialogflow, the voicebot industry leader. Flexibility to choose from speech synthesis integrations with Google, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Tinkoff and Yandex.

NLP and speech synthesis based on a Nuance engine offer limited features and capability. In addition, Forrester says bot integration is a Genesys weakness.

IVR languages

40 languages and over 200 synthesized voices.

21 languages and no synthesized voices options.

Configurability

CX Canvas drag and drop interface enables non-technical people to configure, operate and modify every aspect of their contact center.

An earlier generation administrator interface does not offer the same graphical ease of configuration as Voximplant.

Customization

Easily add an HTTP request or JavaScript code directly into a call flow using the CX Canvas.

Javascript APIs are not integrated into the administrator interface for ease of configuration.

Omnichannel support

Voice telephony, social channels, SMS and web chat.

Voice telephony, social channels, SMS, web chat and email.

Rapid deployment

A complete contact center can be operational in minutes via the Voximplant self-service portal.

Genesys business processes and reseller overhead add days or weeks to the pace of deployment.

Service reliability

Voximplant Kit is deployed on 14 diverse cloud services, providing resilience against cloud outages.

Genesys Cloud is deployed on a single provider, AWS, and suffers more frequent outages (e.g. outage caused by AWS).

Complementary CPaaS

Voximplant Platform offers complete CPaaS services, providing a single vendor solution for all your CX apps.

No communications APIs means you must build customer apps using a separate CPaaS provider.

Price

Voximplant Kit’s prices are 59% lower than Genesys.

Genesys prices are higher because its business structure is more costly.

Five Reasons Voximplant is the Best Genesys Alternative

Best of Breed AI Integrations

Voximplant has been a leader in contact center AI integration through its work with Google and other major AI providers. Kit provides access to the top six AI engines in the industry, enabling you to deliver virtual agent services in as many as 40 languages. With Amazon Polly, Google Cloud Text to Speech, IBM Watson Text to Speech, Microsoft Azure Text to Speech, Tinkoff and Yandex Speechkit, you can choose from among multiple male and female voices to deliver your preferred brand experience.

An example of one of Kit’s NLP services is Google Dialogflow, the voicebot industry leader. Using the same technology that powers Google Assistant, you can deliver natural virtual agent interactions that support multi-turn conversations.

In contrast, Genesys offers only its Nuance-based NLP and speech services with a much more limited feature set. This can result in frustrating customer interactions and limits the number of languages and voices you can tap for your brand identity. Genesys supports 21 languages and no optional voices.

Rapid Deployment

Voximplant Kit is fast to build and deploy. It features CX Canvas, a unique visual builder that enables you to activate a fully functional contact center in as little as ten minutes. Designed for non-technical personnel, CX Canvas enables you to build custom IVRs, messaging interfaces and agent routing strategies using simple drag-and-drop function blocks.

Once your contact center design is complete, it can be activated in seconds. The entire process is self-service and available 24/7. You can make changes to your contact center at any time.

Genesys doesn’t offer a self service portal for establishing an account. Customers must work through a Genesys reseller or sales representative. Navigating these business processes can add days or weeks to your deployment schedule.

Service Reliability

Genesys relies on a single cloud infrastructure platform for all its services which makes it more vulnerable to outages than Voximplant. All Genesys services are delivered by the AWS platform. When AWS experiences an outage or service impairment, it directly and immediately impacts the Genesys service (example outage caused by AWS)

In contrast, Voximplant uses fourteen different cloud infrastructure providers, giving it much more diversity and immunity from outages and impairments. When any Voximplant cloud provider experiences a problem, it can immediately switch to an alternate provider.

Affordability

Voximplant offers 59% lower monthly recurring fees and we think usage fees and other pricing elements are substantially less expensive, too. Recurring fees for Genesys start at $110 per seat, per month and Voximplant fees start at $45.

In addition, your total cost will include telecommunications usage, optional features (e.g. recording) and phone number rental. While Genesys doesn’t publish any of these fees, we’re confident Voximplant will come in much lower. This is because these services are priced to compete in the CPaaS market, which is more aggressive than CCaaS. Voximplant prices are published here and we encourage you to compare with Genesys.

Complementary CPaaS

The customer experience for most enterprise customers is composed not just of contact center communications, but also interactions through a mobile or web application. Enterprises can realize significant leverage by sourcing both of these through a single vendor, Voximplant. Our Kit CCaaS is complemented by Platform CPaaS, providing a single vendor solution for all your customer interactions.

Genesys offers APIs and SDKs for CCaaS customization, but no CPaaS. This means your developers will need to purchase CPaaS from a separate provider, doubling administrative overhead, increasing complexity and lengthening project cycles. The Voximplant CCaaS and CPaaS combination simplifies and accelerates CX projects.

What Our Customers Say

“Of all the advantages of partnering with the Voximplant platform I want to highlight the ease of integration and configuration. The implementation of the cloud call center was a task for our core and support, and we were able to meet the relatively short deadline.”
