User Testimonials
Bright Pattern Contact CenterWebex Contact Center
Likelihood to Recommend
Bright Pattern, Inc.
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.

It depends on your needs. If you only need simple call flows, consider using Cisco Webex Calling Auto-Attendant. If you require more complex call flows and time-of-day routing, you can utilize Cisco Webex Contact Center. You only have to purchase 1 Agent to use the Call Flow Designer.

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.

  • Better integration with Webex Calling.
  • More on premise features integrated into the cloud solution.
  • Better documentation for pebble templates.
  • Better information for changes and when new features are available. Instead of having to look on the what’s coming webpage alerts or a pop-up inside Webex control hub would be nice.

We are happy with the product, with Cisco as a partner and the roadmap looks mightily impressive. Webex Contact Center is one of our growth areas so we're keen to get more agents on the platform, we want to get more customers on it and we want to make use of all the features and functionalities it offers, so that we can help our customers do what they do best.

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.

It is great to use Webex Contact Center as it delivers the call routing and workflow for agent and call routing. In addition to this the noise reduction helps to focus attention on the call and with the client. The notes feature and the ability for the transcription really helps with translation and language barriers.

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.

Performance
Bright Pattern, Inc.
All pages load when expected, and reports render either in the web browser or as a download. I never really have issues with accessing the admin or agent desktop sites. It just works.

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

Webex Contact Center feels the most modern of the solutions we evaluated. It is an all in one package which required no capital expenditure up front. Webex Contact Center was able to integrate with the AI packages which our IT team investigating for future use. Webex Contact Center was also able to integrate with the CRM packages which we use internally (without the use of a 3rd party connector).

  • Increasing the number of channels agent can reach out to customers, especially text has shaved off a lot of hours from calling , leaving voicemail and waiting for customers to call back.
  • Less Downtime. No Upgrades or certificate Renewal, so fewer overtime hours.
  • Adoption of new features is now so quick, I don't have to worry about upgrading the Software or even hardware to get new features deployed.
