8x8 Contact Center vs NICE Uptivity

Likelihood to Recommend

We have had nothing but positives when dealing with 8X8, our relationship was set up for success right from the get-go. We explained our specific needs and our sales team was able to cater to the needs we shared. While we did have a few bumps along the way, they remained a partner in making sure we received what we needed to be successful. Without getting into the "weeds" we were able to fine-tune our 8X8 experience to match the needs we had as a company, all while focusing on the needs of our associates. The communications were on point and our development, implementation, and now, support has been consistently stellar.

Uptivity is well suited if you are just wanting to record calls and monitor them. It's very basic but does the job well for what we use it for. It would be less appropriate if we are looking for additional insights.

Uptivity's platform is easy to troubleshoot and rarely has any issues in capturing all calls.

Cons

Flexibility within reporting to allow for some out of the box opportunities in terms of reporting KPI's for upper management as well as granular KPI's for associates.

Uptivity's platform does not provide a way to calibrate and report on that calibration.
Uptivity's platform reporting is fairly limited and clunky to use.
Uptivity's technical support has some improvement to make. Over the six years that I have worked with the system I rarely have had resolution within the SLA's set forth in our contract. Not once has someone been able to connect through VPN to troubleshoot without having us having to assist them even after countless meetings that supposedly resolved their issues in doing so.

Alternatives Considered

We vetted out a variety of companies when we began searching for a new vendor, many of them have the technology that would have fit our needs, but the relationship piece became the focal point for us as a company. We spent a lot of time with the players within 8X8 and developed a relationship that will allow us to feel comfortable that they will be there for us in our times of need. Whether it be a bump in the night or a change that needs some serious attention from their team, we feel that they are partnering in our success.

Uptivity by far works better than NICE. I have many issue when trying to pull up calls, locate calls, and evaluate calls within the NICE platform however with the simple logic of Uptivity I never have issues.Comparing Uptivity to Tantacom I would say that they are basically the same in ease of use.

Return on Investment

The ROI for us is measured more within the CSAT and NPS score increase we have seen thus far, both scores have gone up significantly since we have streamlined our process with 8X8.
We are now focusing our attention on retention with the hopes of seeing a second wave of ROI with 8X8.
