Avaya Experience Platform vs. Dialpad Ai Contact Center

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.

We have a mix of Ai Contact Center and regular Departments in Dialpad Ai Contact Center - we mostly use the Ai Contact Center for our high-volume area or areas we need to keep track of in more detail. In our smaller clinics, with few staff, Ai Contact Center 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

• 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.

• If a department has a need for 5+ call centers, it is a bit more difficult to manager and report on.
• Maybe a little more granuality in Agent help cards so it shows cards that are relevant to agents tenure. May have some agents that need certain help, where others wouldnt need it because of their experience
• Self service options

I have always found Avaya's technology and support to be the best in the industry. Even as they worked out financial difficulties and continue to fend off competitors they have adopted and incorporated new technologies. They have done so in a logical and supportive manner and offered all these benefits as they went along. I haven't seen any of their competitors do any of this.

I cannot think of one single reason we would stop using Dialpad. There has been too much positive feedback from our staff as well as the ease of use and training for new hires is big incentive to renew. We've looked at other VoIP products and price versus feature set is overwhelmingly in favor of continuing to use Dialpad.

I find Avaya easy to use but I am not a beginner. I think it is much more difficult for beginners unless the administrator has some basic programming skills. The system is getting more difficult to use but I enjoy learning and haven't found myself stumped yet.

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.

No, everything was implemented by Avaya 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.

Dialpad is the evolution of MiCloud, it does everything MiCloud did and then some and it does it better. The level of flexibility and customization provided by Dialpad allowed us to go to the next level in terms of productivity and interconnection, their interface is user-friendly and provides real-time data to aid in decision-making processes.

• 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.

Incentivized

• 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
