Avaya Communications API vs. Stream Chat

Following are ideal use case scenarios for Avaya OneCloud CPaaS:

• Agent Onboarding in Contact Centers – personalized digital transformation for contact center agents as part of a workforce management solution. Included in the Spaces Learning suite.

• Remote Development Collaboration for Engineering Teams – agile platform for remote coding and development, virtual scrum meetings, and real-time chat.

Following are use case scenarios where Avaya OneCloud CPaaS is less appropriate:

• Large Virtual Conference Events
• Consumer Social Media Gatherings

Scenarios, where stream chat is best suited, are as follows: 1. social networking apps where users want to interact with each other then it is the best fit to integrate stream chat into the system. 2. in Gaming, Stream Chat is a good choice to make a chat functionality in multiplayer games, where real-time communication plays key role. While Stream Chat is well-suited for many use cases, there are also scenarios where it may be less appropriate. For example: 1. if you are an application where the message volume is low then you can skip the solution and can go for cheaper alternatives. 2. application with less resources can ma skip stream chat.

• well when the scalability is concerned, I think there is the room for improvement of course. When the volume of messages and chats go up, stream chat performance can may suffer.
• Pricing model is bit confusing. It can be make simpler and can be break into small subsets or so. If i am using half of the tools with stream chats than there should be some easy models of payment.
• Analytics part of stream chat can be more transparent. as a analyst i would love to understand metrics thoroughly.

Avaya OneCloud CPaaS support has been excellent. Specifically:
