The Avaya [One Cloud CPaaS (formerly Zang Cloud)] of course is very well suited for any business purpose where the automated sending or handing of SMS and voice conversations, but specifically being able to use the embedded "Voice Input" functionality allows you to combine Avaya CPaaS with Natural Language and AI with these multi channel inputs which brings the customer experience to another level!

Based on my experience, here are some scenarios where Stream Chat is well suited: 1. If you want to build a real-time chat system then it is a very important use case. 2. Also good if you want to integrate it into gaming applications. However, there are also scenarios where Stream Chat may be less appropriate. For example: 1. stream chat use cases are mostly for real-time messaging use cases only but if you are someone who don't have such use case than you can skip stream chat

Usability
Avaya
Avaya OneCloud CPaaS and Spaces Learning make it easy for learners, coaches, and teachers to connect with each other – providing an engaging and effective learning experience. The intuitive user experience, natural collaboration environment, and real-time communications tools empower virtual education that is simple, hybrid, and interactive. Imagine a day-in-the-life of Mark Rowland, a home-based customer service adviser at a large telecommunications company. Mark was recently scheduled for some customer support training, based on identified gaps in his job performance. Mark starts on the “My Classes” screen. The home page for each topic includes a live feed of announcements, learning-related posts, and other activity. The People panel displays a list of all participants and provides an indication of who is currently online. Mark clicks the ‘Join Virtual Classroom’ button to join the next Virtual Coaching Session. Mark meets with a coach and several peers in a live video collaboration environment. Next, Mark clicks the Chat tab and quickly says hi to the group. The coach shares his screen and begins walking the learners through the latest internet connection process for broadband routers. Afterwards, Mark notices that a recording of the session is now available in the Stream.

We have tried many other CPaaS platforms including Twilio, Telnyx, Nexmo, SignalWire and Bandwidth. The Avaya CPaaS has the richest set of available features combined with the most competitive pricing model!
