Ring Central is one of the most simplified contact centre solutions in the market. They have multiple contact centers including one in partnership with Nice CXOne. One difference I have seen in all these solutions is the level of support. Cisco leads in support but they have …

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.

The ease of use and file retention/retrieval is key. The adjustment from an e-mail-focused workflow to the RingCentral Contact Center was easier with the organization. Recall and search features mimic Outlook and allow me to quickly find what I’m looking for. RingCentral Contact Center is not ideal for communication with external partners, so we still have to rely on Outlook e-mails for that.

Pros
Avaya
  • 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.

  • Reliability: Our previous service was prone to outages, RingCentral Contact Center has been rock solid as long as we've used it.
  • Integration: Our IT team was able to build a custom RingCentral Contact Center dashboard on our website for our salespeople to manage inbound/ outbound calling. From there we were able to send call data directly into activities in our ERP (Acumatica).
  • Ease of use: It works well whether in the office or WFH (which many employees do regularly.

Cons
Avaya
  • 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 would like to be able to text from our main office line rather than only my office direct line, so I can keep my direct line private
  • I wish it was easier for all users to be able to toggle between calls ringing at their desk phone and cell phone
  • It would be nice if the process to add other team member's numbers to our desk phone screen was easier

We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service

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

RingCentral Contact Center's application is much more intuitive than Nextiva's application. It's also easier to configure. It also has a lot of functionality that Nextiva does not. For example, RingCentral will transcribe Voice mail messages for us, whereas Nextiva does not. RingCentral also sends us notifications when a customer sends us a text message, whereas Nextiva does not.

Return on Investment
Avaya
  • 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 RingCentral Contact Center we were able to connect with our customers. The feature that allows the call to be sent to the first available rep ensured that this happened.
  • Also, my favorite feature is the call recording and transcription feature. This allowed me to get the customer's emails without asking them to repeat if I missed them the first time. Hence, happier customers and more meetings.
  • RingCentral Contact Center also made it very easy to set up a mailbox for customers to leave messages and reassure them that they've connected with the right person.
