Aspect Unified IP vs Nextiva Call Center

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a call center looking to take advantage of agents being able to work in both an inbound and outbound capacity at the same time I think Aspect is a no-brainer. There is no CTI connectivity to deal with. It is all 100% seamless between all call types (inbound, dialer, manual). The tools are very intuitive, and the backend reporting tables are easy to use/query. If you are a smaller inbound only shop or even a small blend shop this product might be cost-prohibitive especially if it is an on-premise solution. In those cases, their cloud-based solution might make the most sense.

Nextiva is well suited for monitoring day-to-day employee performance; it accurately tracks who's signed in and for how long; it shows how many breaks are taken (and the numerous reasons why); it shows how long users stay on "unavailable" and also gives weekly breakdowns to make sure employees are in line with company performance metrics.

Pros

When I administer and support this software for a few months, I can comment that, without a doubt, it is good software to start a call center with.
The main thing is to indicate that the software can be configured to have high availability with several servers that will help keep the service active.
You can count on several telephone lines that will be centralized in the appearance system.
The big advantage is that you have call recording and live video, you can also locate the video recordings of all the calls.

The admin portal is cumbersome to use and times out too frequently.
The lack of an SMS feature hinders our ability to communicate as effectively as we'd like with our clientele.
The click-to-call feature inside of our CRM is finicky and often needs resetting.

Alternatives Considered

I have not spent any time recently doing a detailed analysis of other vendors to comfortably answer this question. I will say that the last time I checked, the ability to have all 3 call types (inbound,outbound,and manual) managed in one convenient seamless platform was not available which is very important to me.

Nextiva is pretty much evenly matched against RingCentral and their phone system; the call quality and voice mail transcription are on par. However, Nextiva's admin portal is more cumbersome to use by comparison and the lack of an SMS feature is a definite drawback considering the communication habits of most people in 2018.
