Our company is a startup that is just starting to get wholesale customers. When we realized our customers needed support using our products, we set up a Contact Center via Amazon Connect. It has been very useful in allowing us to scale up very quickly, and provide services to our company as if we were a large corporation.

If you are utilizing mobile push, email, or SMS for marketing reasons, Amazon Pinpoint is amazing. If you are utilizing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud as your backend system, then the support all can come from one place, which makes troubleshooting easier. We use Amazon Pinpoint in order to send billions of emails. Most notable is the use for password reset.

Amazon Connect has lots of free training available for partners and in general. So many demos are available to practice. It's free to test and gain more confidence before deploying in real world scenarios. You can use other AWS features to be integrated with Amazon cloud. Features like lense is amazing

Amazon Pinpoint is way easier to use than Adobe Campaign and cheaper than Salesforce. Great solution with easy AWS integration for a non-beatable price. When you think about the integration that you need to use with a third-party application and all the backend software installs, you can see why being able to use the AWS API to make calls to Amazon Pinpoint directly would be a way more feasible solution if you're using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud already.
