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.

Call quality is strong for both video and audio calls. I do not have issues with that. I like the user interface and find navigation very easy. RingCentral provides an AI integration for meeting summaries, transcriptions, and meeting notes, which we use heavily. The texting feature is also a great bonus.

  • 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.

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 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

  • 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.
