Avaya Call Center Elite vs. Contivio.com

The way Technology is expanding, Elite can be utilized and integrated into any environment as long as it keeps pace with the merging needs. I strongly recommend that there needs to be more innovation within the product to bring it back to where it was in the past.

I travel a lot and this makes Contivio easy to use, all I need is a good WIFI connection and I am good to interact with the clients anytime/anywhere. The flexibility of not running out the options to get the business running is amazing. The only thing that bothers me is that you may not realize that you're not logged in as you cannot see when the phone logs you out of the application, this also means you might loose out on a running call or the call may not get recorded.

• I think the reporting cause Elite does really good with reporting related to CMS and with the proper to-left knee programming. It performs well from a routing perspective. It will identify where the call needs to be routed to and it will cure it to that group pretty effectively. We've also found it to be relatively stable. You don't hear a lot of incidents about Call Center Elite going down. Sometimes it might be a database that might be having an issue or something else, but you never hear the call center has gone down or we can't route calls. You normally don't hear that. So it's been relatively stable.

• It's great for call center setups
• It's nice to have the ability to use the desk phone or a soft phone
• It syncs to Salesforce and logs my calls under the appropriate account, which is incredibly helpful.

• I do feel that their support definitely needs a room for improvement. There is not a lot and I say that as in from the technology support side of it is the support definitely needs to be a lot better and that's because if we're running into troubles or issues, there's not a lot of help outside of when we go to Avaya to help fix it. We get a little down a bumpy road trying to get that fixed. The last time I was here, I worked up there.

• Sometimes it needs multiple tries to sign in and this has been troublesome
• At times I have missed call records and it bugs when you really need to listen to the call for details
• If I am barged into a colleague's call no one else can barge in until I get off that call. This can be a problem when there are mentees who need to learn from these conversations

I am happy with the application. Contivio is very easy to use, and I hardly ever run into problems so easy to give a decent rating!

Avaya always has good partners for support.

I've used a C Experience portal, Contact Center Elite for Avaya Symposium, and Symposium Express for other manufacturers. I've used the Cisco solution for the Cisco. I believe the Contact Center Elite is the easiest of all the products for the enterprise industry and it's got the best user feel to be able to integrate it into your phone system

Jive is behind the times in terms of user interface and functionality.

• Once purchased and running, you don't need to worry about it for years.
• Support price is following the other companies. Price is good.
• When you need to upgrade it the cost can grow fast as most of the time you need to replace hardware.

Incentivized

• Contivio auto-logs my calls to my Salesforce accounts, which makes my job much easier and quicker
• It's provided a uniform system for our entire company
• It isn't very user friendly, so the transition to Contivio was very rough
