    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.

    At our company, we launch a new property project and receive many customer inquiries in a single day. Zoom contact center helped our team manage all calls and follow-ups properly without missing leads. It is very useful for handling customer communication. During peak hours, some agents face call delays, making it a bit difficult to track reports quickly.

    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.

    • AI-powered self-service - customers can interact with our virtual agents and get answers to common inquiries, which ensures fast resolutions.
    • Better omnichannel support ensures our agents have an easy time managing customer interactions across chat, voice, and SMS.
    • With Zoom Contact Center in place, we have realized increased agent productivity thanks to its AI features and its ability to integrate with our CRM tool.
    • The advanced routing and insights ensure that customer issues head to the right customer agent depending on skills.

    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.

    • The integration with Zoom Phone is still ongoing, so it initially required some tricky configuration and additional phone numbers, but that's no longer a requirement now.
    • I would love a way to use physical handsets with the Contact Centre. Currently, it's all softphone integration on a PC or Mac. But it's a great experience and very similar to using Zoom Meetings, so there's minimal training for staff needed.
    • The Admin Settings on the backend can be tricky to navigate. Still, you have much more customization and constant feature upgrades than I've ever seen with any other Contact Centre service.

    Likelihood to Renew
    Avaya
    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.

    We are very likely to renew Zoom Contact Center because it has been a stable and reliable solution for our organization. It fits well within the broader Zoom ecosystem that we already use, including Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone, and Zoom Chat, which creates a more seamless experience for users and reduces complexity.
    The product quality has been strong overall, and we have also had positive experiences with Zoom’s customer service. While there are still areas where reporting and certain features could improve, the platform has delivered enough value in usability, stability, and integration to make renewal likely.

    Usability
    Avaya
    Avaya has versatility in calling, receiving, and configuring. Being able to have notion of location, exchange of messages. we could see supplier information and configure it to our liking. as it is practicality for configuration and manual handling. Interactive and easy to learn screen. Being able to generate call reports for analysis of service in others

    Usability is one of Zoom Contact Center's strongest selling points. It feels like a natural extension of the Zoom platform rather than a bolted-on contact center tool, which made adoption across our team noticeably smoother than previous system rollouts. Zoom Contact Center is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate for both agents and administrators. For organizations already using Zoom, the learning curve is minimal.

    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.

    We have had a positive experience with Zoom Contact Center support overall. Support has generally been responsive and helpful, and our interactions have given us confidence in the product and platform.
    In addition to the support experience itself, the product has been stable and reliable in day-to-day use, which helps reduce the need for frequent support involvement. When support has been needed, the experience has been solid enough to reinforce our overall positive view of the platform.
    For those reasons, we would rate the overall support highly, while still recognizing there is always room for improvement.

    I implemented Zoom Contact Center myself, and overall the process was straightforward. The platform was relatively easy to configure, and it did not require an unusually large amount of internal support or complexity to get up and running.
    One of the advantages during implementation was how well it fit within the broader Zoom environment, which helped reduce friction and made the setup feel more familiar. In our experience, the implementation process was manageable and efficient overall.
    There is always some room for improvement, but the implementation was smooth enough that I would rate the experience highly.

    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.

    This tool has enabled us to identify each user's needs across our various communication channels. It has also facilitated a direct point of contact with Zoom’s technical support team, allowing us to document and escalate any situation requiring specialized assistance, which is the primary reason we chose Zoom. I would recommend it to any colleague or company, as it offers a wide variety of tools, and—now, with the integration of AI—the level of service has improved significantly.

    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!

    • Intuitive, Easier and almost effortless to maintain.
    • Lesser Operational Expenses that the alternative we also have
    • We wish it has a better integration with Zoom Phone, in terms of channels integration (Voice and Chat) to quick identify callers.
    • It is missing "modular" programming to "reuse" Existing Flows and call them from other flows then return to the main flow.
    • It is missing the capability to compartmentalizing different teams/groups related to reporting, admin, and global parameters.
