Likelihood to Recommend The Avaya Experience Platform is well suited to allow remote working for call center agents. Staff can log in and work from anywhere using Chrome and their user credentials. The technical issues and lack of some features have caused some frustration for our staff and made it difficult to get buy-in for this product across all call center groups. This is difficult because a solution like this is intended to make their work more efficient as opposed to causing frustration.
Read full review Qualtrics is a good medium for creating surveys and getting analytics back for it. I think it's easy to learn if you are in the business of creating surveys or if it's part of your studies. It can be a little overwhelming for a brand new user who has never created a survey for the first time. So onboarding could be better.
Read full review Pros The app and the ability to use the "office" phone while on the road. There's an easy implementation and training process to get everyone on board quickly. Flexibility of transferring calls to different mediums - I can switch a phone call to a conference or patch in other parties with ease. Read full review Qualtrics CoreXM is easy to use for quick one-time surveys or for measuring opinions over time It's great for sending/managing RSVPs for meetings or other gatherings or to collect important data like Conflict of Interest declarations. Qualtrics CoreXM's reporting and crosstab functionality is beefy and gets better all of the time. I'm always amazed at how easy it is to generate reports for sharing my survey response data and research. Read full review Cons One are for improvement for Avaya is the ability to operate behind the VPN. For the virtual employee, this is an issue as we are unable to use it behind the VPN and it must be launched from the remote desktop. The color scheme could definitely use some updating. The charcoal gray background of Avaya's windows, coupled with the black font is not very contrasting. I have used Avaya for years and would love to see an update as to its color scheme to better fit the virtual employee. Avaya could also improve the way an employee moves within the program by titling the icons seen or expanding the Avaya window to allow for a better understanding of what each con does. For example, the Work History window would go unnoticed, had I not been playing with the software one day. These little items are unknown to many professionals in my industry as they sit in the window with no explanation.

Read full review The collaborate feature can be clunky and sometimes we have to remove access and add a person back in for them to see the survey in their lists We have a contract through our university and more than one person has created their account in the wrong place, causing some administrative headaches as that is fixed so that we can collaborate on surveys with them. I wish it was easier to organize my surveys into folders, there should be a more efficient way to do that. Read full review Likelihood to Renew I am really not the decision maker on this subject but given the cost of the investment in Avaya, I do not see the company not renewing the use of Avaya. The new licensing model no longer requires expensive upgrades to stay current with new features added to the system and really helps with the cost of investment.
Read full review I was impressed a couple years ago when two heads of market research at Fortune 500 companies told me about them, and I've been even more impressed with the advancements I've seen in the last year. I like where the company is headed, and I look forward to using them again in a future role.
Read full review Usability Very Easy to use and Intuitive. Reporting and Graphical user inferface suport the latest browsers and that fact it integrated and complements existing customer experience platform make it easy to bring over into the environment. Finally, the fact it is all in the cloud, no issues running updates, upgrades, or things of that nature that would slow the service.
Read full review All the menus are very user friendly and intuitive. I can always find exactly what I'm looking for and can change anything I need to with ease. All the elements of the survey are adjustable with very little effort and without confusion.
Read full review Support Rating I give it this rating because the support services of Avaya have proven to be reliable when needed. Great feedback for our queries has always been received from the support agents. 24/7 availability of support, which is very essential as our Call Center department also functions this way, therefore, the knowledge and technical support we require is always available to us.
Read full review Whenever we have had an issue with trying to figure out how to do something (even though the documentation is incredibly well put together) we have asked Qualtrics support and have always received our answer nearly immediately (I think in maybe 10 times, only once did a support person need to call us back). Qualtrics support is dedicated to solving customer issues right, and in the first contact, if at all possible

Read full review Online Training I still use it. It does everything you need an online survey to do. From heat mapping to complex skip logic and display logic. I use it weekly and it never disappoints
Read full review Implementation Rating No, everything was implemented by Avaya Support
Read full review I like being able to easily integrate new colleagues by simply giving them a log in user name and password
Read full review Alternatives Considered Switched from Polycom to Avaya, although polycom worked well there were too many reoccuring connectivity issues and the turn around time for solving them was also too long. Avaya has fewer connectivity problems and their support is much better too. Pricing wise they were similar so we didn't have much to lose.

Read full review ]Qualtrics] CoreXM is great if you want something that is a little more [long] lasting and impactful than a simple survey engine, but aren't quite ready for something that is a long term sustainable program. I would put [Qualtrics] CoreXM squarely in the large, defined project phase. CX is more of the program phase, and other lessor vendors are great for the pre-project definition phase
Read full review Return on Investment It does what we need it to do, so we don't heavily invest in this technology but rather into the manufacturing end of our business. We believe we have more than achieved the return on our investment for the Avaya phone system and associated equipment. Read full review Increased productivity due to the highly intuitive user-interface and template saving capabilities. Reporting and analytics are extremely valuable. Our team can track responses and share feedback/results extremely quickly. If a user has created a great template, they can share to external teams quite easily. It helps other departments!
