Cisco Unified Contact Center vs. Microsoft Dynamics 365 - Gamification (FantasySalesTeam), deprecated

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.

This is a great way to help show people's progress to others. I also liked the way we can set up rewards for those that hit the target. It would be nice to be able to have the data into PowerBI as well since most people are moving reports and KPI's in PowerBI.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Easy to setup
• Easy for people to view the dashboard
• Great KPI's out of the box

• 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.

Incentivized

• Sometimes the workflows did not fire correctly
• Creating custom KPI's are harder to setup
• Wish to have these in a PowerBI

if it is up to me I would maintain its use. I was not able to make those decisions previously.

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.

It was easy for end users to use the system, or be able to put in on a TV to show the reports. I did not give it a 9 or 10 as the usability for an admin. It takes a good amount of time and knowledge around where to go to to do your job.

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.

I gave it a seven rating for support. The support we used was just the whitepapers and documentation that Microsoft provides. Microsoft does very well in its documentation. I think its pretty simple to install and configure the system, it's pretty basic on getting it setup.

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.

We used MS Dynamics 365 Gamification because we did not have a Power BI team. The dashboards and animations are better than just having a dashboard. It was also nice to have the KPI's already built, where we did not have to build them to do something so simple. Liked how easy the updates were between the Dynamics system.

Incentivized

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.

Scripting not supported

• A smoother route to helping end users with critical needs
• With quick assist while on hold, less calls come into the pool while agents have the ability to assist more critical needs
• The ability to work remotely during an extreme event assisting end users

Incentivized

• It helped us close more cases.
