Aspect Unified IP vs. Nextiva Contact Center

Aspect Unified IP is perfect to handle multiple outbound dialing campaigns, with tools that allow you to configure how customers must be reached, call them at different phone numbers by the time of the day, set priorities when dialing, or gather information about all running campaigns in dashboards in real-time.

We use Nextiva every day in our company. I like how we have a lot of different customizable options. You can use Nextiva in several different ways. There are also several different ways to use/manage Nextiva, with their Mobile App, Desktop App, and from a browser. Their support is reachable via phone, chat, or email. Nextiva makes integrating with other platforms and implementing new features or functions easy. Just a heads up, depending on how you use Nextiva daily, the backend setup for call centers can be a little tricky.

• Integrates inbound and outbound call routing in one platform, allowing agents to work in a seamless blend mode between all call types (inbound, predictive, manual).
• Allows you to associate an account number with every agent phone call, the call type, and the reccording ID giving you the critical datapoints necessary to research, put together a customers experience from a telephony perspective, etc.
• Create agent templates to streamline agent setup reducing the potential for admins to configure an agent incorrectly, placing them in services they aren't skilled for and vice versa.

Incentivized

• Nextiva allows you to set up the Contact Center to fit your exact needs.
• The Contact Center has a consistency of quality. Dropped calls or interrupted calls are very rare. The voice quality is always great on both ends.
• The Contact Center allows us to have a Call Center with 50+ numbers to assist our customers attendees. At the same time, it allows us to have a main line for our Customer Support, Sales, etc...

Incentivized

• The reports are very basic.
• There may be a broader reporting line, perhaps with more detailed records.

• I'd like to be able block numbers globally through the web portal rather than having it done through tech support.
• Mobile app sometimes continues to ring even though the call has been picked up via the desktop app or physical phone.

Aspect Unified IP is very competent to handle most customers' needs in the contact center and it delivers what is promised. The only negative aspect is the costs of services, maintenance and professional services, too expensive.

Service has been exemplary and we are happy with the voice quality and connectivity

They are very nice, friendly and you can really feel their willingness to help. They are proactive in finding out potential issue and they sometimes extend their service by calling me and making sure I'm still happy with the service. They have Live Chat support, email, and hotline that you can use to connect to them.

We had evaluated Avaya. It was pretty good as well. However, we wanted a more software driven solution. Aspect also was able to give better results in our Proof of Concept.

It isn't just about clear calls- which they have in spades. The features on this platform are like little productivity cheerleaders. We can track calls, analyze performance, and even set up call routing so the right seller gets the right lead

• As stated before, we have been using UIP for over a decade now. Prior to this tool we had agents logging into Avaya for inbound, and using CTI fuctionality to bounce the agent back and forth between inbound and any predictive campaigns. By moving to Aspect it allowed us to streamline that process, reduce agent downtime, lost efficiency, while at the same time consolidationg all of our call center telephony data into one central location allowing us to easily track a customers telephony experience over any period of time.
• The only negative impact is due to the upgrade schedule that has made for some interesting challenges forcing us to utilize IT resources that could have been used on more critical corporate projects. These upgrades might not be as big of a deal for any company out there that does not have a lot of integration with Aspect such as custom reporting, data loads, API hooks, etc.

• With Nextiva VoIP Call Center, we don't need receptionist on call all the time... that is good
• we receive a lot of complains of people calling and no one answering, but when we check the call history there is no trail of the incoming call... that is bad...
