Aloware vs. RingCentral Contact Center

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.

The ease of use and file retention/retrieval is key. The adjustment from an e-mail-focused workflow to the RingCentral Contact Center was easier with the organization. Recall and search features mimic Outlook and allow me to quickly find what I’m looking for. RingCentral Contact Center is not ideal for communication with external partners, so we still have to rely on Outlook e-mails for that.

• Reliability: Our previous service was prone to outages, RingCentral Contact Center has been rock solid as long as we've used it.
• Integration: Our IT team was able to build a custom RingCentral Contact Center dashboard on our website for our salespeople to manage inbound/ outbound calling. From there we were able to send call data directly into activities in our ERP (Acumatica).
• Ease of use: It works well whether in the office or WFH (which many employees do regularly.

• Reading text messages directly on the site are sometimes difficult
• The transcribe on voicemails is off sometimes

• I would like to be able to text from our main office line rather than only my office direct line, so I can keep my direct line private
• I wish it was easier for all users to be able to toggle between calls ringing at their desk phone and cell phone
• It would be nice if the process to add other team member's numbers to our desk phone screen was easier

We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service

RingCentral Contact Center is not just only an app or platform which allows the company to manage the telephone calls, messaging functions, social media and emails, but also allows advanced features like the possibility of easy integration with other industrial systems, and customer/call analysis functions as well. It also supports and included with AI technology as well into some extent.

We honestly did not need much support but whatever we wanted was resolved via email and that experience was nice but took a bit of time

As I recall it was not a very cumbersome implementation and we were up and running as promised

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

RingCentral Contact Center's application is much more intuitive than Nextiva's application. It's also easier to configure. It also has a lot of functionality that Nextiva does not. For example, RingCentral will transcribe Voice mail messages for us, whereas Nextiva does not. RingCentral also sends us notifications when a customer sends us a text message, whereas Nextiva does not.

• With RingCentral Contact Center we were able to connect with our customers. The feature that allows the call to be sent to the first available rep ensured that this happened.
• Also, my favorite feature is the call recording and transcription feature. This allowed me to get the customer's emails without asking them to repeat if I missed them the first time. Hence, happier customers and more meetings.
• RingCentral Contact Center also made it very easy to set up a mailbox for customers to leave messages and reassure them that they've connected with the right person.
