Webex Contact Center vs. Drawbridge (discontinued)

I think it's well suited for companies that have a social media presence in addition to call center because I know the application allows you to use multiple sources of communication with your customers. I think it wouldn't work very well at the moment with remote staff in a call center only because of the reporting issue I talked about before. I've had to triage situations where calls were made but we have no record of it or even if the calls were made, we can't find them or they're misreported. So it's ideal for people that you can manage in the office.

It is well suited for small, targeted advertisements. I see this happening on a large scale and it is difficult to keep departments/groups/units separate from the individual, so incorrect, inappropriate, or just wrong recommendations are made all the time. The scale of your project I think determines whether this will be useful. A team under ~30/40 people, should work great. Larger than that and wires will be crossed, quality will plummet, and expectations will not be met.

• 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.

Incentivized

• tracks browsing habits
• makes personalized recommendations
• tracks online activity

Incentivized

• The chat space could be improved within the call rooms to be able to share quick writings.
• In international calls there are usually failures, especially audio.
• Being able to have an unlimited number of users at the same time in basic rooms.

Incentivized

• well, it's tracking you, so that's a problem
• IoT - connected to all smart devices
• user interface is only for advanced users
• can give incorrect and inappropriate links for setting
• difficult to control broad settings
• terrible customer support (what do you expect from LinkedIN)

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.

In hindsight, I wish we had picked any of the other options. Drawbridge is a letdown in cost, user ability, quality of service, and support. Though I have limited experience with the other software mentioned, they surely would not have been such a letdown - in so many areas, as Drawbridge is.

Incentivized

• It doesn't take a lot of investment to train new Webex users.
• Communication can be achieved from almost any device. There are some, especially Android that do not work very well.
• It has helped us create fluid communication, where we have been able to get rid of other applications that Webex came to replace.

Incentivized

• Troubleshooting
• no ROI as too much troubleshooting goes into each project
• did not synchronize teams' needs
• poor user interface
• waste of time
