    Bright Pattern has been fantastic in allowing us to automate voice and chat contacts, and we're currently building out scenarios that will allow us to automate even more. It's super simple to collect data from customers, and using some API calls provides the answers they're looking for without a human needing to get involved. There is less functionality currently for emails. Emails can be routed to queues based on keywords, and auto-replies can be sent, but it's pretty basic functionality. We'd love to see some of the enhanced capabilities offered in voice and chat scenarios for email.

    I like that you can dial out so many leads and double the efficiency of the agent. The only thing that bothers me is sometimes, system down issue.

    • PhoneBurner connects to Hubspot so that my team doesn't have to go back and forth.
    • The amount of time it takes to get through a list of calls has almost been cut in half.
    • The opportunity to do leave a voicemail without having to leave it on each call is a huge time saver.

    Cons
    Bright Pattern, Inc.
    • That they had a text and voice analysis module Que tuvieran un modulo de analisis de texto y voz
    • Customized agent interface with company logos. Interfaz de agente personalizada con logos de la empresa
    • The softphone, when entering multiple interactions, causes the advisors to become confused when they have several. It should be less complex and more adaptable.

    Usability
    Bright Pattern, Inc.
    It's pretty simple for agents to pick up quickly, it takes a bit longer for supervisors to get familiar with. QA tools are pretty barebones but functional enough. It can be as simple or complex as you need it to be, if you spend some time configuring the settings or working with Bright Pattern's support team to build out what you need.

    PhoneBurner as I said before, has an excellent graphical interface, super friendly, with menus that the user can easily find and program the calls. The layout is good, fast, and has little delay and errors. I really like the tool and from the beginning, I had no difficulty with the usability.

    Reliability and Availability
    Bright Pattern, Inc.
    It is always on. The only outage to date that I have experienced was with an upstream telco provider a few years ago. The inbound leg telco was hit by a DDOS attack which led to delays in routing calls to the platform. This was not the fault of the Bright Pattern platform but the telco provider. We have had a few minor carrier issues with call quality, or a handful of brief drops, but Bright Pattern is quick to identify these and change carriers when it starts to happen.

    In-Person Training
    Bright Pattern, Inc.
    In-person and virtual training was great, but Bright Pattern could use some online training videos similar to other platforms. I would welcome online training videos to keep the steady flow of new agents up to date. Admin training is one of the largest areas that need video. The static documentation is great. It is pretty easy to follow and configure your contact center as you progress through each step. The documentation is available online on an easy to use knowledgebase or wiki style site. You do not need a user account to access the help docs, meaning that users at any level can freely access the materials to learn about the platform.

    Online Training
    Bright Pattern, Inc.
    Online training is documentation based only. It is thorough and step by step, but no videos. It would also be helpful to have more information within the help docs on custom reporting. I find that many of the Bright Pattern specific configurations for the Jasper Reporting Server have to be "stumbled" across through existing report templates and they are not clearly listed out somewhere. In person training will not generally go into great depth on report customizations.

    As an implementor, I have found the Bright Pattern Contact Center very easy to work with. The platform operates in the manner which I think. Therefore, everything I do seems logical and works exactly as expected. Many solutions are much more difficult to work with and make implementations difficult

    We selected PhoneBurner because it is very easy to integrate with Zoho CRM and if you have a silver plan, you can do a lot such as Sending SMS and unlimited calling, you can also record and drop voicemail, timezone calling is automatic. It is a good dialer to use if you are part of sales.

    • We saved customers between 30% - 40% of the cost of their current omnichannel contact center solutions when we implemented Bright Pattern Contact Center
    • Very quick to implement so we are able to service more customers with same number of staff

    • [I believe] it has cost me a fortune in wasted time trying to make the Hubspot integration [work] (to no avail).
    • [I believe] if the Hubspot integration actually worked, we would probably get decent ROI from the speedier calling.
