    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.

    I give CX Social a 9 out of 10 because while it has its cons as any software or solution does. It is an overall unique and efficient Marketing and Social Media Management solution. They have a very fast improving rate so are practically receiving new features and is a very good tool for large companies with lots of social accounts to manage.

    Pros
    Avaya
    • 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.

    • CX Social is great for small scale social media management. The reporting and analytics platform is really impressive tapping it to some key metrics and making it relatable to specific campaigns.
    • The data that Engagor shows about the performance of the users and team is incredibly precise and accurate.
    • They also have an extremely good vendor for service support.
    • It has a unique ability to combine customer engagement, social media monioring and analytics features for customer service and marketing.

    Cons
    Avaya
    • 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.

    • While customer support is good, I have seen better. But no big issue, as the analytics is excellent and it gets the job done.
    • CX Social is a great tool but is also an expensive tool, so unless you are a huge agency with lots of accounts, I believe the fee will not be justified.
    • Needs more detailed Response Time per user in Engagor and The interface could use more personalized settings: certain people and groups usually use the same filters and tags.

    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.

    Support Rating
    Avaya
    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Avaya
    • 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!

    • I have no bad reports about this Marketing tool. While it does has its cons as stated earlier. It is yet a very dependable and effective solution that delivers as aspected.
    • It has been the most dependable Marketing and Social Media Management tools I have ever used.
