    I think it depends on the services you enroll in. Broadvoice could be used for basic business perfectly, but allowing for tracking calls and recordings makes it great for businesses where legalities come into play. Were I to leave the firm I am with, I would hope to either utilize a service that offers everything Broadvoice does, or just continue with Broadvoice itself.

    The flexibility of the open APIs makes it easy to adapt the solution to one's needs and requirements. We could create our own solution tailored to our personal needs and create >3.000 highly customized call flows with minimal configuration effort. Including the possibility to implement additional features with a few clicks across all call flows.

    • Most times we get the replacement phones within 1-2 work days.
    • Broadvoice is very easy to work with.

    • The digital channels is one of those. I definitely think the digital channels stands out as a unique product. From a contact center agent standpoint, that when you've got customers, maybe retail customers or that stuff, it's a great fit for that. For anybody who really trying to deal with customers.

    Cons
    Broadvoice
    • The terminology used in the self-service drop-down options for outbound greetings is akin to reading a foreign language; it's hard to tell which drop-down option will yield the appropriate results for the appropriate time periods (during or after hours). I'm also still not sure whether I should set all outbound messages using my b-hive account, or if it will work if I do that from my phone handset.
    • The TCR brand registration process is difficult. I followed the instructions to register my brand, and after months of checking to see if it was verified, I was told I needed to provide a 147C letter, which certifies my EIN number. I am a sole proprietor, with no employees, so I am not required to have an EIN. If I file taxes using my SSN, I would think a W9 would suffice. This has held up my ability to use the texting platform. It would have been good to know upfront that an EIN would be needed in order for the registration verification to process -- like maybe getting an error message of some sort instead of just a "status."
    • Overall, there seems to be way too many sub-sections within the b-hive screens. To go back from the call log to what I view as the main dashboard, you have to click on "portal," which is okay once you know that it takes you back to the page that has all the tabs for "reports, voicemails, communicator," etc.

    • Webex Contact Center fits well when the group of users or agents is larger, but sometimes there are use cases where we might need to use Webex Calling, while still having the features of the Webex Contact Center. Currently, I've been seeing a little shift of features that have been getting rolled out from contact centers to calling. The bridges are becoming closer and closer every day, but it would be great to see the same feature sets in Webex Contact Center and Calling.

    Our last phone system was very outdated and we were left not getting calls that we needed nor having a seamless way to change voicemail or to get voicemail if we were out of the office for longer periods of time. Broadvoice has erased these issues and has really made our agency more responsive.

    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.

    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.

She calmly sought out solutions that kept the project moving so that we could meet our move-out/move-in deadlines. Also, their 24/7 Business Support line is staffed with knowledgeable people that answer my questions quickly and accurately.

    It was straightforward to set up. The phone was delivered prior to installation. The script and routing of calls were established prior to installation as well. The on-site technician installed each phone and offered training to anyone who asked. The main setup for hours, calls, and extensions was already set up via online meeting, making the phone install on-site a seamless experience.

    We've had a few phone vendors over the years and their main item, the phone, usually worked. Now past that, all other features or needs were hardly ever met. With Broadvoice, our experience has been amazing. The call quality, the ease of use on the admin portal and b-hive app, the flexibility of implementing new users. And if something ever seems to stump us, we can quickly reach out to support via email or phone and they are amazingly fast to respond and resolve the issue.

    Return on Investment
    Broadvoice
    • Sadly I can't quite gather any hard numbers since my use of the product don't extend into the admin level where I can see everything. I can say that since installing the phone at my desk though, I've been more reachable by other staff and therefore more present with current happenings in the workplace.
    • It took a while to get a line for my desk, so I can compare the before and after very clearly. Communication is like night and day, and any questions or problems other coworkers had that in the past they may have had to deal with themselves, they can now reliably reach me and have a convenient option to. This has improved the relationships between me and others at the workplace.

    • No Capex required for this solution (which makes our CFO very happy)
    • Digital channels are builtin and therefore very easy to deploy
    • The built in CRM integration was missing features so we had to install a thirdparty connector which we had to pay for (and wasn't in our budget) in order to get the features which our business demanded
