Cisco Finesse vs. Nextiva Contact Center

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.

We use Nextiva every day in our company. I like how we have a lot of different customizable options. You can use Nextiva in several different ways. There are also several different ways to use/manage Nextiva, with their Mobile App, Desktop App, and from a browser. Their support is reachable via phone, chat, or email. Nextiva makes integrating with other platforms and implementing new features or functions easy. Just a heads up, depending on how you use Nextiva daily, the backend setup for call centers can be a little tricky.

• Help to create agent and give them access to different teams and different skill groups.
• Allows the supervisor to keep a track record of the agent different states like ready, not ready, in call, [etc...]

• Nextiva allows you to set up the Contact Center to fit your exact needs.
• The Contact Center has a consistency of quality. Dropped calls or interrupted calls are very rare. The voice quality is always great on both ends.
• The Contact Center allows us to have a Call Center with 50+ numbers to assist our customers attendees. At the same time, it allows us to have a main line for our Customer Support, Sales, etc...

• While adding skill group to the agent a direct find and assign button should be there.
• In [the] case of multiple skill groups to be added there is a chance of ambiguity [and] different colour code can be used to distinguish.
• User interface can be improvised.

• I'd like to be able block numbers globally through the web portal rather than having it done through tech support.
• Mobile app sometimes continues to ring even though the call has been picked up via the desktop app or physical phone.

They have Live Chat support, email, and hotline that you can use to connect to them.

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.

• With Nextiva VoIP Call Center, we don't need receptionist on call all the time... that is good
• we receive a lot of complains of people calling and no one answering, but when we check the call history there is no trail of the incoming call... that is bad...
