    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!

    By using WhatsApp Business, I can now respond to customers faster, keep them updated about new deals, and even send out surveys to understand their needs. The ability to send stickers and photos makes the app more interactive and engaging. It easily beats other social networks in terms of the quality and quantity of messages sent, which is a good thing for businesses.

    • Fast and accurate connection.
    • It allows you to split chat between business and personal as WhatsApp Business and Personal can be downloaded on the same smartphone by registering a different number.

    • UI/UX of WhatsApp has room for improvement. The goal should be to add more features for business interactions outside of the everyday messenger. (interface wise, not feature wise)
    • Multi-device use is added but it's still not as flexible and fast as other messengers like Telegram
    • File transfer is time consuming and troublesome. It also has limits.

    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.

    Most reliable app for business and personal use. I rely on it with any hesitation. Its encrypted chatting system impresses me a lot. Easy file transfer is also appreciated. Maximum people use this app, so I can communicate with most people through this. It makes my life more comfortable.

    There were some issues in the beginning when the app used to get hanged. We had emailed customer support, and we received a response promptly. There was an issue with the phone where some updates had to be downloaded. You can also complete a form online to contact customer support. The staff can speak many languages

    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!
