The Quadrant Knowledge report cites several strengths and differentiators for NICE Nexidia Customer Engagement Analytics, including noting that the solution comprises “full spectrum” journey and interaction analytics, industry-leading AI, intuitive and flexible visualizations, and secure and scalable deployment models.” Another key strength highlighted by Quadrant Knowledge is that NICE ENLIGHTEN “drives and enhances customer and employee satisfaction by providing deep insights and immediately converting them into actions. Additionally, it enables agents, team leaders, managers, and executives to remotely monitor customer and business-related KPI’s.” NICE Nexidia’s unique Journey Excellence Score (JES), an AI-powered metric to measure customer experience across omnichannel journeys is also noted in the report.

NICE has recently invested heavily in order to re-invent how organizations use CEA solutions to enable them to leapfrog from insights into actions that influence customers’ experiences and journeys. The most significant of these is NICE ENLIGHTEN which is the first comprehensive AI framework for customer engagement which interprets and predicts human behaviors by objectively measuring all interactions. This recognition from Quadrant Knowledge serves as a strong acknowledgment that we deliver on exactly that.”
