CloudTalk vs. Collab OneContact CC

Cloudtalk is by far the best value-for-price software out there for call center solutions. Packed with features, very accessible, kind and accessible customer support, and cheap, especially when compared with their competitors for the same range of features. Easy entry-level software, especially if you're a startup that doesn't want to make big initial commitments but needs a solution that scales with the business.

Collab OneContact is an all around platform that can be used in any situation. It can be used in situation where there isn't a PBX. I've seen some solutions where the platform is integrated, using SIP with a CUCM.

• It's extremely simple to install and integrate
• Their smart dialer option reduces time spent typing in number and helps make more calls
• It makes life super easy to keep track of calls being made and how long calls are but also to listen back on calls made

Incentivized

• Call Flow, ACD and IVR.
• Dynamic platform with the possibility to integrate with the client existing solution.
• Was built to stand alone, with no need for a supporting PBX, or a advanced reporting module.

Incentivized

• A lot of features are still missing, some of which are pretty basic like being able to select multiple filters instead of one.
• Desktop app has had some instability issue.
• IVR needs to be self-recorded which can lead to a lower quality.

• The need to have a Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014 Standard in order to save the media interactions.
• The email module needs a little more work.

CloudTalk is super easy to use and has a great quality. It helps to communicate with the clients easily and we can feel that the sound quality is high, while speaking to the client and while listening to the recordings. This is for our department essential in our day to day work.

They are skilled, experienced, and anytime I need something and contact the support time, I get the right person who understands my needs and reacts to them accordingly. So far I was only pleasantly surprised by the level of support these guys provide and coming from a customer service oriented background myself, I can only say keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job!

It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before.

CUCCX is a great platform but it can't be considered when working with other manufacturers, even if they support SIP. For this reason, when you're building a network that isn't just installed by one provider, I would suggest an approach different from CUCCX (considering VoIP and CC platforms, not routing or switching). OneContact allows the integration between platforms, allowing short number dialing between different contexts, recording other advanced telephony solution. Collab's Customer interaction Hub is a great solution for clients that need a CRM, but don't need much complexity, this mini-CRM is a great asset against the competition and facilitates the deployment of an omni-channel Contact Center.

• For a similar price it is not necessary to manage so many cell phone accounts
• Unlike basic telephony. It is possible to have more control of the interactions with our clients.
• For administrators it allows better control of commercial actions or the corresponding area for communication issues

• It has a low initial CAPEX
• It has low maintenance
• The manufacterer support can be a considerable cost.
