Likelihood to Recommend Call centers where lots of calls come in per day are better suited for Cloud office. Small businesses or companies that don’t really make outgoing calls or receive a lot of incoming calls other than within the company would not really be suited for Avaya Cloud Office.
Read full review Five9 is suited for both large-scale and small-scale companies. If your company deals with marketing more than the technical aspect, Five9 gives a mode of communication and getting in touch with our customer or client in the most reliable way rather than setting physical meetings. In the covid period, Five9 has made it easier to work on calls.
Read full review Pros User-friendly GUI management interface with the possibility to create different rooms, notebooks, calendars, and chats. The management interface for recordings is made in the rooms with the possibility of downloading them to the location. Link and file sharing with other participants. Chat with all participants and individual. Read full review Easy dialing and call logging. The process of starting or answering a call, then logging a call disposition with its notes, is simple and easy. Voicemail drops. You can pre-record voicemails to leave for customers without needing to speak the voicemail content each time. This is a huge timesaver for our reps. You can customize the call dispositions / call labels to match what's used in your CRM. Read full review Cons Avaya has very strong contact center offerings and more contact with our salesperson would be helpful, so we can explore the latest offerings Although it's adequate a slightly more intuitive UI would be helpful More integrated reporting at the end-user level. Read full review Java based desktop application is a pain to keep updated. The user interface for the agent desktop application is clunky and outdated. It could use a facelift. The help center for documentation isn't well organized and the documentation needs substantial editing. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Things change, business requirements change so when we come to renew we may explore other options, we might go all in on Teams or look at something different - we need something that allows us to increase and importantly decrease our licence count more flexably which Avaya / Ring Central don't allow.
Read full review Robust product, great reliability and support.
Read full review Usability There are few times that we have not been able to take advantage of the tool, but those moments are related to the bandwidth of each person in [their] home. Those who have low signal cannot access meetings on the platform smoothly.

Read full review Performance We have not been faced to any performance issue.
Read full review The system's performance is great. Page loads quickly. Reports are generated quickly and sent to our email or FTP. The integration did not impact the performance of our other applications. We have not seen any drop in the performance of either applications since we performed the integration.
Read full review Support Rating The Customer Service and Representatives are always kind and willing to go the extra mile to get anything resolved. Yet, we have not really needed them after the initial set up since the product actually works and we have not really experienced any major issues.
Read full review Five9's Customer Support team is also based in Manila Philippines, thus turnaround email response times for our reported issues are great for our requirements. Their CS agents also facilitate mobile calls to followup on outstanding issues and operate on a 24/7 schedule. We've also had experience working with the senior tech agents to investigate recurring issues to completion.

Read full review Online Training The online training was clear and effective.
Read full review I took the certification course for administrator and also received some tips while working with the developer during implementation. The UI was very intuitive, so I was able to figure out how things worked when I configured the users, skills, campaigns, IVR scripts. I worked with the Five9 AI team to beta test Agent Assist.
Read full review Implementation Rating Thank to the help of Avaya implementation team, the migration was done with minimal impact. All activities were well defined and done in time.
Read full review The implementation team that was assigned to us was great. The project manager was very helpful and managed the timeline very efficiently. The developer was very helpful and provided insights while helping us configure the system.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Apart from Cisco Webex Calling/app no other vendor offers their own phones hardware, gateways. We need to add other vendors like yealink, Poly, Audiocodes to complete the solution. This makes things very difficult from management perspective. As you have to hire a person who can manage a multivendor environment. Also, in case of outage, multiple bridge open and every vendor blame others. Cisco is costly so we gave a chance to Avaya UCaaS based on its history and reputation in Calling market.
Read full review Initially selected Five9 but have since switched to RingCentral which has given us what we needed. Better CRM integration, simpler and in my opinion more robust reporting capabilities and the same omnichannel solution at a fraction of the cost
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model We do annual renewals and it's concurrent licensing which is great.
Read full review Scalability It fits us well being in multiple geographic areas and we can purchase local numbers or do a BYOD SBC setup
Read full review It was very easy to add additional licenses. Once we placed the order, it was activated the following day. Since it's web-based, it's very quick to deploy across multiple sites.
Read full review Professional Services Five9 Professional Services team is very knowledgeable and efficient. I worked with them during implementation and during beta testing for Five9 Agent Assist and Ai Insights.
Read full review Return on Investment This made working from home possible, allowing me to take calls that I wouldn't be able to without having them forwarded by our communications department It works with Teams, realizing when I'm on a conf call and automatically sets a status of away, preventing my phone from ringing, but allowing me to see the voicemail via text so that I can respond If I step out of the office for a little bit, I can have my calls go directly to my cellphone to make sure I'm still available if needed Read full review Cost savings: Five9 replaced a premise-based outbound dialer and a different virtual call center solution for inbound. Cost savings: Five9's voice over IP is less expensive than the land lines we were using. Cost savings: Five9 requires significantly less management than our previous solutions.
