    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.

    Pros

    What 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.

    Cons

    I can't think about any con's with using this software. I have zero complaints. I reccomend using this software to anyone.

    The overall experience is great as you can focus on running your business rather than fighting with software. The multiple modes of dialer is extremely helpful too.

    Pros

    After several trials with other dialer systems and getting out of a contract with another dialer company, Five9 is simply one of the best systems for large organizations. Not only is it user friendly and easy to set up and management, the reporting functions are great and customizable. So easy to add/remove users and update skills. Uploading leads is a synch.

    Cons

    The ability to view agent chat sessions needs to be improved. It appears there is functionality there but in fact, you must log on as the agent to view. Upon doing so, you must kick the agent out of production.

    It's very robust software, but the implementation is not worth the trouble- it's made for calling a large, large body of numbers with little need to change the leads within the campaign.

    Pros

    Once you get it going, which isn't easy at all, it doesn't quit running.

    Cons

    It's horrible to implement, the support is awful, it also uses mechanics that are impossible to understand with minimal documentation.

    Overall I really love using Five9, it's effective for the most part and navigation is pretty easy once you get used to the system, sometimes has it's glitches from time to time with login issues but would still recommend the software to anyone curious of purchasing.

    Pros

    I loved that it was easy to navigate, integrating our phone system software into Five9 was also simple. Monitoring, logging and recording calls are an absolute need for me to perform my job well.

    Cons

    There were some run-ins where the software was acting a bit crazy and not logging me in. I hated when I had to wait on support to reset my login, sometimes they took a bit longer than expected to respond to support tickets.
