Amazon Connect vs. Vonage Contact Center

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 an organiziation was fully on Salesforce and rely on that type of routing, I would recommend Vonage to them. They would also need a good support system to be able to build/maintain and manage it as well. If they do not need this or have the bandwidth, I would not recommend this product at all. They also struggled with our billing and could not tell us what they were charging for

• Texting issue - I am experiencing a texting issue where a small number of messages are not being delivered. Out of every 100 texts I send, about 4 or 5 fail to deliver. I am not sure what the cause is, but overall, I am satisfied with the service.

I have used other similar tool in past but I feel Vonage Contact Center is the best one so far.

I have personally not used their support, but I hear from our admin that it is good.

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

Noble was the outgoing system. If you are in the UK, then you find that there is little support from the US function for any challenges you face. It feels like Noble is aware of Salesforce, however it doesn't really integrate with Salesforce. Natterbox also looked like a good product, however I feel they are a little while off being on the same level as New Voice Media. It's worth throwing them in the mix with any consideration though.
