Cisco Webex Contact Center is a cloud-based omni-channel (e.g. voice, email, and chat) contact center solution providing customer / agent matching, customer service self-service agent, and built-in chat and voice for collaboration between agents.
They both work independently great. Working with Webex Contact Center and Cisco Contact Center both holds up in the end. What I like about Cisco Contact Center, you have the ability to host locally whereas Webex Contact Center is cloud based. Both are good products I would …
Cisco Unified Contact Center is, it's a much more robust solution and much more stable, particularly if you're looking at large industry-standard companies.
I have not used other vendors solution but I am quite familiar with the Webex Contact center cloud offering. I would say they both offer the basics but the Cloud offering is clearly the future. It is still improving and has some hiccups but will be a contender for the long run. …
Customers will benefit a great deal from webRTC, out-of-the-box VoiceBot integration, easy management of all services using a single web-based portal, and better-expected stability using newer cloud server strategies compared to former redundant servers using the A and B sides.
Cisco manage a complete solution and doesn't have to care or rely on other vendors. They manage their own calling solution (Webex Calling), their own Contact Center (Webex Contact Center), their own devices (webex devices, IP Cisco phones, Webex app softphone), their own PSTN …
Cisco Webex Contact Center has the edge over the on-prem services with the option to scale to a higher number of agents and greater PSTN trunk capacity, which takes longer time to ramp up on-prem, and with the existing Webex solutions for meetings, users are pretty happy with …
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.
- Well suited in managing a large staff base in a call centre environment. The real time data is incredibly insightful and useful - Gathering statistics for both customers and staff habits has large benefits towards creating an efficient workplace for all involved - Allows us to help staff grow in areas they might lack in with the was we can see and understand their habits
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.
Things that it does particularly well include a really good UX or UI so that our agents as well as our administrators, can easily provide remote access from agents, new agents, and old agents, manage interactions with customers, and have a good call experience from start to finish.
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.
More on premise features integrated into the cloud solution.
Better documentation for pebble templates.
Better information for changes and when new features are available. Instead of having to look on the what’s coming webpage alerts or a pop-up inside Webex control hub would be nice.
To be honest, there are tools better than Cisco Unified Contact Center because it largely depends on third party integrations with better alternatives available now a days. However, Cisco Unified Contact Center has its own standards in terms of user experience and client satisfactions which serves every customers with a flawless experience.
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.
They all have the niche, but I feel Webex is the most well rounded complete suite. It provides exactly what a business would need, from an onboarding, training, security, updates, road mapping all the way to great user experience and beyond.
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.
Increasing the number of channels agent can reach out to customers, especially text has shaved off a lot of hours from calling , leaving voicemail and waiting for customers to call back.
Less Downtime. No Upgrades or certificate Renewal, so fewer overtime hours.
Adoption of new features is now so quick, I don't have to worry about upgrading the Software or even hardware to get new features deployed.
