    Avaya is an overall cheaper solution at scale but has some shortfalls in integration to next-gen apps.

    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.

    The way Technology is expanding, Elite can be utilized and integrated into any environment as long as it keeps pace with the merging needs. I strongly recommend that there needs to be more innovation within the product to bring it back to where it was in the past.

    • I think the reporting cause Elite does really good with reporting related to CMS and with the proper to-left knee programming. It performs well from a routing perspective. It will identify where the call needs to be routed to and it will cure it to that group pretty effectively. We've also found it to be relatively stable. You don't hear a lot of incidents about Call Center Elite going down. Sometimes it might be a database that might be having an issue or something else, but you never hear the call center has gone down or we can't route calls. You normally don't hear that. So it's been relatively stable.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • On reports and analytics, [I feel] Amazon Connect is slightly behind, and it should be perfected.
    • [In my experience], Amazon Connect lacks social platform integration, which is convenient and resourceful currently.
    • [I believe] Amazon Connect should include a queue management feature, for the call centers and customer help.

    • I do feel that their support definitely needs a room for improvement. There is not a lot and I say that as in from the technology support side of it is the support definitely needs to be a lot better and that's because if we're running into troubles or issues, there's not a lot of help outside of when we go to Avaya to help fix it. We get a little down a bumpy road trying to get that fixed. The last time I was here, I worked up there.

    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

    I've used a C Experience portal, Contact Center Elite for Avaya Symposium, and Symposium Express for other manufacturers. I've used the Cisco solution for the Cisco. I believe the Contact Center Elite is the easiest of all the products for the enterprise industry and it's got the best user feel to be able to integrate it into your phone system

    • Once purchased and running, you don't need to worry about it for years.
    • Support price is following the other companies. Price is good.
    • When you need to upgrade it the cost can grow fast as most of the time you need to replace hardware.
