Atos Unify OpenScape Voice vs. CloudTalk

We have used 3rd party companies who have set up Unify for our customer sites and often it goes well. From a network perspective we often don't need to get involved too much and the set ups are often straight forward. This prevents us having to allocate engineers to new implementations.

Cloudtalk is by far the best value-for-price software out there for call center solutions. Packed with features, very accessible, kind and accessible customer support, and cheap, especially when compared with their competitors for the same range of features. Easy entry-level software, especially if you're a startup that doesn't want to make big initial commitments but needs a solution that scales with the business.

• Good integration with other system
• Smart features and web applications
• Good cloud and non-cloud options

• It's extremely simple to install and integrate
• Their smart dialer option reduces time spent typing in number and helps make more calls
• It makes life super easy to keep track of calls being made and how long calls are but also to listen back on calls made

• Phone application could be improved
• Troubleshooting can be difficult
• Can rely on a solid network and internet connection

• A lot of features are still missing, some of which are pretty basic like being able to select multiple filters instead of one.
• Desktop app has had some instability issue.
• IVR needs to be self-recorded which can lead to a lower quality.

Clients seem to understand new feature sets early on and we don't have to allocate too much time to training. This creates a low learning curve across the board which can be essential when implementing new communication methods. The call quality and application support is generally very good and we don't have many calls logged for issues.

CloudTalk is super easy to use and has a great quality. It helps to communicate with the clients easily and we can feel that the sound quality is high, while speaking to the client and while listening to the recordings. This is for our department essential in our day to day work.

They are skilled, experienced, and anytime I need something and contact the support time, I get the right person who understands my needs and reacts to them accordingly. So far I was only pleasantly surprised by the level of support these guys provide and coming from a customer service oriented background myself, I can only say keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job!

As we predominantly have a cisco environment we have used Cisco VOIP solutions in the past, which obviously integrate very well, however Unify does an excellent job at integrating into our networks with out problems and doesn't require too much manual configuring or changes.

It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before.

• Easily customisable
• Administratively very convenient

• For a similar price it is not necessary to manage so many cell phone accounts
• Unlike basic telephony. It is possible to have more control of the interactions with our clients.
• For administrators it allows better control of commercial actions or the corresponding area for communication issues
