Amazon Connect vs. DCDial

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.

This software is very useful to all companies that want to increase their sales through customer service or call centers for their sales. It has worked very well for us, being able to solve minor failures, it is one of the best-priced software, compared to everything it offers.

• It helps us connect with ServiceNow as a direct integration.
• It allows us to document everything from the chat with ticket documentation in real time.

• Payment IVR. Now, there is no need to call us every time when a client wants to make a payment. Now, they can do that on their own at any time.
• Compliance Suite. DCDial is fully-compliant. Once we've set up our account, we don't have to worry about compliance anymore.
• Payment Processing. DCDial offers lots of ways to collect payments and the most amazing thing is that they don't charge for payment processing features; they all are included in the plan.

• 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'd update their system design a bit to make it more visually appealing but it doesn't impact my productivity.

It is reliable system. It has own IVR, Database(DynamoDB) Backend(Lambda) support of multi channel(email, chat & voice) Integration with some of the biggest CRM system

I gave DCDial the 10/10 rating because our team loves DCDial ever since we had our initial demo with Haze and I personally got really impressed by DCDial's functionality.

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

We have evaluated CallFire, CallHub, CloudTalk, and PhoneBurner, but unlike DCDial, none of them offer Click Campaigns that require us to press each phone number manually (non-automated dialing) to dial a specific person and ensure compliance at the same time. As the debt collection agency, we have to make sure we are fully compliant.

• Amazon Collect has allowed us to scale quickly and retain flexibility.
• Amazon Collect has allowed us to provide omnichannel support as if we were a larger corporation.
• Amazon Collect has allowed us to retain productivity.
