Avaya Call Center Elite vs. Nextiva Contact Center

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

Avaya always has good partners for support.

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.

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

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

• 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.

• 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...
