Zoom Contact Center helps businesses deliver prompt, accurate, and highly personalized customer experiences that drive loyalty. It includes intelligent self-service and routing, a unified communications and contact center, and video optimized high-touch engagements.
We have a mix of Ai Contact Center and regular Departments in Dialpad Ai Contact Center - we mostly use the Ai Contact Center for our high-volume area or areas we need to keep track of in more detail. In our smaller clinics, with few staff, Ai Contact Center doesn't make sense to use to we have them setup as Departments instead.
Perfect for companies that have agents all over the place, e.g., different offices or WFH. Also good for companies that aren't big enough to have a "phone guy" as this platform allows IT to do the phone work as it doesn't require esoteric knowledge like other phone systems.
Fairly simple GUI designer tool to define the Contact Flows. There are only a few elements, but they aren't many Design Widgets types, but just enough to get you started to the majority to the use cases you might encounter. There are plenty of opportunities to improve and enhance, but considering how "young" the product is, I think Zoom did a good job to provide a good Contact Center solution for the entry-to-medium level customers/users without needing to have a dedicated Contact Center resident expert to take care of the solution.
The way the Queues are define, embeds in a fairly simple matter many of Call Handlings Contact Flows design like Timers, Overflow handling, Callback keeping the position in the Queue handling, etc. These things are defined directly into the queue so you don't have to build the logic for it into the Contact Flow design itself. That includes in many cases prompt handling and timers.
Their Low-Code/No-Code motto comes handy when it comes to embed Chat Engagement Channels into Web Pages, where embedding a simple "iframe little piece of XML definition to call a JavaScript Applet" into a Web Page is all that is needed.
Having the "Contact Center App" just embedded into the Existing Zoom Client App is another plus I see: Agents that are force to wear "multiple hats" handling regular phone calls and Contact Center calls, don't have to waste time switching apps, other than the productivity ones so it is one less App the Agents and Supervisor need to worry about.
If a department has a need for 5+ call centers, it is a bit more difficult to manager and report on.
Maybe a little more granuality in Agent help cards so it shows cards that are relevant to agents tenure. May have some agents that need certain help, where others wouldnt need it because of their experience
I cannot think of one single reason we would stop using Dialpad. There has been too much positive feedback from our staff as well as the ease of use and training for new hires is big incentive to renew. We've looked at other VoIP products and price versus feature set is overwhelmingly in favor of continuing to use Dialpad.
Dialpad is the evolution of MiCloud, it does everything MiCloud did and then some and it does it better. The level of flexibility and customization provided by Dialpad allowed us to go to the next level in terms of productivity and interconnection, their interface is user-friendly and provides real-time data to aid in decision-making processes.
There are options and ways to get to specific feature sets that are similar to what Zoom can offer. Many of the Zoom included features are add-ons for the RingCentral offering. So cost goes up and can also be an add-on difficulties/deployment costs as well. When we reviewed the features needed and the cost comparison, Zoom was less than half the cost with many of the features baked in as opposed to add-ons
The callback feature has saved clients a lot of hold time
The voicemail system has allowed cases to be handled properly by client's being able to leave a message for the proper agent
The Ai transcript feature has helped dozens of agents, as well as the company, avoid a lot of hassle, time, and lost money due to verifying conversations and information that normally would be much harder to confirm without it
We migrated away from a telephony system that was antiquated and almost unusable for what we wanted to do, so Zoom has been a huge improvement for us!
We're continuing to roll out new channels of contact for customers -- Calls, chat, video, email, etc.
We're still getting our sea legs from a reporting perspective, and that could always be better, but so far the biggest improvement was for our staff actually using the software. They really enjoy the simplicity and robustness of the software.
