    Easier to integrate Customer Login, either by API or by Screenset, that makes the Integration easier and using that any System in the entire Organization can enable the Customer Login Procedure. Easier to manage the Subscriptions and Consent History and use that to sent the Marketing Mails. So with this it works a Single Source of Customer Entire Data.

    I would recommend it to other people in my contact and business circle, but if I recommend it to someone who has certain difficulties in accessing some tools within Cisco, he may have great difficulty in getting help because of the support that is lacking in most of the times.

    • Provides you with a solid routing engine that was built to handle Service Provider level throughput - if you need stability and a work horse this is the platform for you.
    • The core features on the whole are good, but where UCCE is very good is the eco-system of Solutions Plus partner integrations that expand on the core capabilities with the market leaders in areas such as WFO, Campaign Management, Biometrics and Natural Language.
    • The investment Cisco makes in the CC space means they are always improving the platform features, scale and reliability.

    Cons
    CDC Software
    • Logging Feature was not good. for basic it was good but for advanced issue checking and logs access it was not great. In our Product Landscape Picture we are using DataDog for Log Checking and Debugging
    • Sometimes, the CDC Software shows DataCenter and Server Generic errors Count were high, No way to see and check the SAP CDC Software System Health Activity
    • For Site SSL Expiry, there is no Proper Notification Service. Sometimes we get notification, sometimes we dont get.
    • so to tackle we have developed a Custom Solution with SAP CPI. It would be better. if by default it was working well

    • After 25+ years, the product still requires experienced and highly skilled engineers to deploy the product properly per Cisco Best Practice guidelines.
    • Third-party integrations are also very cumbersome and require highly skilled and experienced engineers and significant time and financial investment to deploy.
    • Upgrading the product is cumbersome and requires Cisco ATP or Cisco AS which is time consuming and very expensive.

    Usability

    I give 8 because it was the best tool and make it easier to manage the Customer Authentication, Authorization, Subscription and Consent History. Because of this we can able to enable the Login Feature for any Product in the Organization Landscape. it lose Rating because of lack of Log checking feature. to know what exactly kind of issue for the customer was unable to login. we cant able to know. because as we have enabled a API key through we receive details to validate. it would be even more good. if a dashboard was enabled to see particular user login access and failure -> reason (like lack of data)

    It's a wellrounded solution that competes in a market with little on-premise competition. The benefits of being on-premise is great depending on the customers business case of course. But even when compared to other Cloud solution it holds up very well. Given the choice most customers want to be more secure, and it's an increasingly important factor for customers. And the customer does not want to compromise ease of use when choosing platform between a streamlined cloud solution. That's why I give this product an 8 because it's entirely up to us configurers of the platform who decides how well we make the user experience for the users.

    Cisco Unified Contact center is a very smart & reliable solution to go for. Its active-active sight base architecture and [customizable] features really help to deliver efficient customer service, enhanced next-gen experience, and uninterrupted operations. I believe every [organization] should opt for it if required.

    Similar I guess, however, I feel like Avaya was more suited for a contact center and allowed for all information to be in one place. The QA Forms were more flexible and easy to review. Predicative analysis was available to assist with scheduling and staffing. It was easier to manipulate and implement- I didn't need to go through 3 different parties to make a simply modification.

    Licenses are very expensive. The customer has to buy IP telephony or Unified Communication and Collaboration Licenses and for Contact Center Solution licenses separately. There must be a price tone down as the competition is really high. New customers are willing to go for cloud-based solutions [that] are cheaper and easy to deploy.
