    Call Center Studio
    + We need to have make a unique survey implemantation. Like we had many surveys after the call and wanted distrubute randomly since they have such a good technical knowledge, we solved many technical obstacles in couple of days and implemented our survey. - I would like to see the dashboard pinned on my agents desktops.

    I didn't personally hate working with Finesse as an end-user, but the frequent bugs and crashes were troublesome. While the frequency wasn't daily or weekly, it was enough to be memorable and difficult to work through. At times the software would crash across the board and take 15 minutes to recover, which pending call volumes, could be highly problematic. When it was working I had few issues or complaints.

    Pros
    Call Center Studio
    • It has many important functions, such as call management, which allows me to know the calls on hold, incoming calls, time of the call, waiting time of the calls, this way I can have more control of how much time I invest to each client.
    • The function of recording calls is also very important to know my performance with the client and improve in the future.
    • It integrates very well with other applications such as Skype and Salesforce, which are the ones I use.

    It is easy to use, but there are outages that affect the overall customer satisfaction. There were many times when we were unable to enter the call queues or even our direct lines because the system was not functioning properly. It was extremely easy to transfer people and that was a great function of the program.

    We used to use Dialpad and it was a great tool. Since switching to Cisco Finesse, we have had no issues with call forwarding, call transfers, or holding. We no longer experience any issues with our callers in the queue or any issues with call playback for quality assurance. Cisco Finesse has made things much easier around the office.
