    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.

    It is an awesome tool for companies that have a hybrid or even fully remote setup and where the integration with Salesforce is needed. The solution completely replaces old phone systems and adds another layer of data to Salesforce, to give an even better view of the interaction with clients, adding automatically events/activities which can in turn be used to reporting purposes.

    • For our use case, Natterbox fits all checkboxes, we're now starting to investigate the use of their AI, but that's in very early stage.

    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 use the Natterbox CTI interface, seating on top of and integrated with Salesforce. The interface is minimalist, popping up as the calls arrive and bringing the Caller's details if they exist in Salesforce. The user then have the possibility to open the Caller's record and visualise the details and add notes, or make the notes in the pop-up window which will end up in the contact's record activity. Very easy to use. The routing queue interface is also very user friendly with drag and drop items that make it visually easy to read and understand.

    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.

    When signing up with Natterbox, our first goal was to replace the landline phone system as Covid hit and people moved to remote work. Second goal was to have a system that would integrate with Salesforce and provide an interface that would be easy to work with and learn for all levels of tech expertise. Those two goals were only achieved by Natterbox, by far.

    • It doesn't matter where anyone is physically located now, everyone can have their calls delivered to their mobile or laptop and answer them.
    • We now have internally the capacity to manage our call queues.
    • We now have a lot of data to report on, either grouping the calls by Campaign on Salesforce, or grouping them by Inbound or Outbound calls, or by User, or by Team.
