    Pros
    Five9 is an excellent leader in the CCaaS industry as regarded as one of the most complete solution providers. My clients like the scalability and ability to add agents immediately as needed.
    Taking the calls and routing them are very reliable. The software flows really nice and the customer service is awesome if you come across any issues.
    Five9's robust integration with ZenDesk is one of the primary reasons we've brought them on as a voice solution. It's been reliable as far as the integrity of our calls.
    Cons
    It's horrible to implement, the support is awful, it also uses mechanics that are impossible to understand with minimal documentation.
    But, if I did have to say one negative thing it would be that sometimes my headset disconnects. Maybe its a computer problem vs the software.
    Our company is losing their mind with this software and already on the hunt for new call center software to replace.

    Five9 is a great Cloud Contact Center!

    Reviewed 8 months ago

    We normally have an amazing time with Five9 but when their systems go down they are really bad at communication and support during that time and that is extremely frustrating.

    Pros

    Five9 is a very powerful and reliable cloud contact center that helps us achieve all of our business objectives for our customers.

    Cons

    Price and some parts of the system are still Java based. It has created issues regarding sending and receiving data because Five9 is stuck in the past with their API, which needs to change.

    Amazing Change Management Tool

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    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.

    Pros

    Five9 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.

    Cons

    Five9 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.

    Vendor response

    Hi Lin, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Five9. Best regards, Five9

    A lot of technical issues and log off problems that seem to never end, tech team has us jumping through numerous hoops and making us send countless logs to no avail

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    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.

    Vendor response

    Hi Erick, this is definitely not the experience we want our customers to have. I tried to forward your feedback to your account manager, but I am unable to find you in our customer database. Can you please email me directly at rachael.scott@five9.com so I can help you resolve your issue?

    Highly Recommend Five9, after failed implementation of 3 other apps

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Quick deployment, reliable product and allowed us to significantly reduce headcount and improve operational efficiency

    Pros

    After 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.

    Cons

    From 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

    Vendor response

    Hi Pam thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with others on this peer review site. We are happy to hear you have had such a great experience with us at Five9.
