Avaya Contact Center vs. Dialpad Support

I would say well-suited for the everyday user, with the ability to use the products. I think it's really user-friendly in that way. The lack of education for the end users, maybe through some of our companies, makes it difficult. And the turnover.

We have a mix of Dialpad Support and regular Departments in Dialpad Support - we mostly use Dialpad Support for our high-volume area or areas we need to keep track of in more detail. In our smaller clinics, with few staff, Dialpad Support doesn't make sense to use to we have them setup as Departments instead.

• 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.

Incentivized

• The ease of use and integration into our local IT infrastructure
• It improved business process agility especially for the work from home agents
• It improved our customer relations/service with fewer dropped calls
• It gives managers better reporting capabilities and call usage statistics

• Calls are automatically terminated at an agent and do not allow for the agent to "manually" answer the incoming call. This is very problematic as agents are not able to prepare properly for incoming calls. In addition, agents have stepped away from their desks and forgotten to put themselves in an away status, and calls have been directed to them, and they just sit there with no agent present. This is a very undesirable feature of the system.
• Password resets are extremely problematic and continuously cause problems for users. Agents are prompted to change their password upon expiry, and when they follow the instructions as outlined, it rarely works and ends up needing a full reset. The challenge questions are useless and do not work at all.
• Support can be a bit challenging as there are definite language barriers that have made both explaining the problem and understanding the recommended solution difficult.
• The system is sometimes unreliable and will randomly log agents out with no explanation. Agents are then advised by support to log out, clear cache, and log back in. This is not feasible in a busy call center.

Incentivized

• Live Dashboard should show more Bigger text otherwise agent cannot see by big monitors located in office!
• Waiting for Dialpad Ai which will never available in Japan
• Never understand the call journey who hung up the phone
• When PC shut down, agent should be Off duty but still Available and call rings.
• Support chat use weird Japanese
• Never provide update information beforehand which sometime make confusion and troubles that Google cloud platform made

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.

I have never had any issues with getting a problem resolved. The dialpad support team is responsive and extremely helpful. As busy as our business is getting, having the AI transcripts and call recordings aid us in being more task productive when helping patients. Other than the patient aspect of it, having no hardware maintenance is amazing

I always get great customer service when I need help. Even if i just decide to chat online instead of calling in. The reps are always so nice and the customer service is always amazing. I have never had any complaints. Usually my issues are pretty simple and they never make it harder than it needs to be

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.

I have never contacted support.

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.

We looked at Aria, but we already had Dialpad Support and decided just to move forward with more features. I think the familiarity with the Dialpad app and the basic features made the addition of new features a much more seamless process rather than attempting to try dual software.

• Overall from a business objective standpoint, Avaya has to have had a positive impact on our Return on Investment. Its use in day-to-day operations has been beneficial to not only the company, but the business as well.
• Using the Avaya soft phones supplies a business or company a way to limit expenditures on the hard phones by allowing the use of Avaya soft phones. The equipment is no longer needed, save for headsets to be used with the application itself.
• Business objectives have to be just that, objectives. Economics begs for ways for a company to limit expenditures that may see little or no return. Avaya has tackled this issue and won!

• The callback feature has saved clients a lot of hold time
• The voicemail system has allowed cases to be handled properly by client's being able to leave a message for the proper agent
• The Ai transcript feature has helped dozens of agents, as well as the company, avoid a lot of hassle, time, and lost money due to verifying conversations and information that normally would be much harder to confirm without it
