Webex Contact Center vs. Nectar Desk

We suggest Webex Contact Center is well suited for a contact centre with anything between 10 agents and 1000 agents. If you are already consuming other WebEx or Cisco services (such as Webex Calling) then the Webex Contact Center should be a fairly easy product to introduce into your business. If you want to get up and running with minimal investment then this solution is worth evaluating.

I would recommend Nectar Desk if you are going to launch it across an entire organization. By launching for only one department, it has been extremely difficult to not have the connectivity we want across the entire company.

• 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.

• Customizing Multiple Ring Groups: Allows for different call routing options depending on what phone number is dialed by a caller
• Agent Login Tracking & Analytics: I can see minute by minute details of my team's login status and better understand how they're using their time
• IVR Set Up: I can set up and edit/change IVR settings with the click of a few buttons, it's super easy!
• Call History Tracking: I can easily filter and view all calls for the day to see what was inbound vs outbound, how many calls were handled by each agent, how many calls were missed, how many were outside of business hours, what the dispositions for each call were, and MORE. The Call History analytics are GREAT.

• Better integration with Webex Calling.
• 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.

• When a caller becomes assigned to an agent, SMS notifications are only sent to that agent. This is difficult for our call center manager to monitor if the team is handling all SMS replies efficiently and effectively.
• Because Nectar Desk is a chrome-based calling software, we are limited in accessing the platform. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this presented a challenge in making sure that all agents' at-home computers were capable of running the software.

Calabrio and Webex Contact Center are both valuable for me working in tandem. They both provide their own information and processes that have become essential in delivering an efficient and effective working environment. They have allowed us to automate processes that were manual and time consuming previously into something that doesn't need hand holding and seems to work as intended.

• 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.

• As the marketing agency that implemented this software for a client, we have 100% insight into call performance. Our client previously throughout random numbers, was always guessing on his team's performance, and now we have actual insight into how the intake team is truly performing—we know 100% of the inbound calls they make, how many outbound calls are made in a day, and how much time is spent 'idle'. This has allowed our client to hire the appropriate number of call center staff based on actual data and has allowed us to shift our marketing budget to focus on driving the right callers.
