Having worked in insurance from a work from home standpoint for a while, Aloware is definitely one of the better softwares for use in incoming/outgoing calls. The site is very user friendly and really well managed. The park feature is very convenient as well. The site doesn't feel clunky are have too much information (info overload) like other softwares out there.

I didn't personally hate working with Finesse as an end-user, but the frequent bugs and crashes were troublesome. While the frequency wasn't daily or weekly, it was enough to be memorable and difficult to work through. At times the software would crash across the board and take 15 minutes to recover, which pending call volumes, could be highly problematic. When it was working I had few issues or complaints.

  • While adding skill group to the agent a direct find and assign button should be there.
  • In [the] case of multiple skill groups to be added there is a chance of ambiguity [and] different colour code can be used to distinguish.
  • User interface can be improvised.

Aloware is definitely more user friendly with an up to date user interface. Their texting feature is much easier to keep records over compared to Chase and the connection while on the phone with customers is a lot better. With Chase, it always seemed staticy and unreliable

We used to use Dialpad and it was a great tool. Since switching to Cisco Finesse, we have had no issues with call forwarding, call transfers, or holding. We no longer experience any issues with our callers in the queue or any issues with call playback for quality assurance. Cisco Finesse has made things much easier around the office.
