Cisco Unified Contact Center is a contact center platform that can support up to 24,000 agents. It supports call routing, omnichannel integrations, and a management portal for creating customer profiles, segmentation, and resource monitoring.
Scalable , It is scalable platform that can handle large number of call volume without compromising performance, making it deal for large businesses with high call volumes, due to this it is perfect for our businesses which demands customer support .
It support for multiple time zones and language , it is therefore perfect for companies with global presence.
It offers a range of features, including omnichannel support, automated customer service and AI-powered customer service, that can assist businesses in managing complex customer support requirement.
Features like data encryption and auditing , that can assist in adhering to industrial regulations.
I would recommend it to other people in my contact and business circle, but if I recommend it to someone who has certain difficulties in accessing some tools within Cisco, he may have great difficulty in getting help because of the support that is lacking in most of the times.
Provides you with a solid routing engine that was built to handle Service Provider level throughput - if you need stability and a work horse this is the platform for you.
The core features on the whole are good, but where UCCE is very good is the eco-system of Solutions Plus partner integrations that expand on the core capabilities with the market leaders in areas such as WFO, Campaign Management, Biometrics and Natural Language.
The investment Cisco makes in the CC space means they are always improving the platform features, scale and reliability.
Inter campaigns call transfer feature which currently is not possible
Interface in Agent login to monitor and keep track of their own break and login times.
Ameyo’s wide feature set can make onboarding challenging. Offering enhanced training materials, interactive tutorials, and a more structured onboarding process could make adoption easier for new users.
After 25+ years, the product still requires experienced and highly skilled engineers to deploy the product properly per Cisco Best Practice guidelines.
Third-party integrations are also very cumbersome and require highly skilled and experienced engineers and significant time and financial investment to deploy.
Upgrading the product is cumbersome and requires Cisco ATP or Cisco AS which is time consuming and very expensive.
As I said previously, Ameyo is a good tool however it has a long way to go compared to Avaya. The user interface can be improved a lot as they can use it as an app instead of completely web-based. Also, the reporting can be improved substantially and make the experience much better.
Cisco Unified Contact Center is a scalable product . Can be used in amy organizational units not only the contact center . Can be used for many IT Helpdesk setups and any internal or external CC . We can use it to automate the outbound dialing as well for marketting and invoices and other use cases
Customer support also needs to improve for Ameyo. I am not saying it's bad however they need to support the users by customizing the reports as per the requirement of the user. They usually try to refer the user to videos or articles whereas the service for Avaya is that they show you a demo and not only that they customize the reports as per the business requirement
Cisco Unified Contact center is a very smart & reliable solution to go for. Its active-active sight base architecture and [customizable] features really help to deliver efficient customer service, enhanced next-gen experience, and uninterrupted operations. I believe every [organization] should opt for it if required.
Avaya is very very good software. Most of the BPOs Contact Center's use them. They are very easy to use and don't use too much data also. Also, their user interface is very easy, especially for people who are not technically sound. The reports can be customized according to one's choice. I will recommend Ameyo's technical team look into it.
Similar I guess, however, I feel like Avaya was more suited for a contact center and allowed for all information to be in one place. The QA Forms were more flexible and easy to review. Predicative analysis was available to assist with scheduling and staffing. It was easier to manipulate and implement- I didn't need to go through 3 different parties to make a simply modification.
Licenses are very expensive. The customer has to buy IP telephony or Unified Communication and Collaboration Licenses and for Contact Center Solution licenses separately. There must be a price tone down as the competition is really high. New customers are willing to go for cloud-based solutions [that] are cheaper and easy to deploy.
Increased customer satisfaction , it assisted us in raising our customer satisfaction ratings by giving us the resources we require to quickly and effectively address customer issues.
Reduced call handling time, It's automated features have made it possible for us to handle more calls more quickly which has decreased customer wait times.
Better understanding of customer support performance, its reporting and analytics tool have improved our understanding of quality of our customer support, this knowledge has assisted us in identifying areas for improvement.
