    Exotel is well suited for: - Small and mid-sized Internet based businesses where it is necessary for them to have a very strong customer support team working round the clock and in different shifts. - Company making large number of calls and sending mass SMS's. They can do that on a single cloud based platform. Exotel might not be a good fit if: -it is not a call intensive business that you want to cater to. Though the setup cost is very low but it follows economies of scale i.e. more the number of calls, less will be per call cost.

    FastCall is great for TEAMS! It's also great when used in combination with SalesForce for a powerful CRM tool.

    Cons
    Exotel Techcom
    • Inter campaigns call transfer feature which currently is not possible
    • Interface in Agent login to monitor and keep track of their own break and login times.
    • Ameyo’s wide feature set can make onboarding challenging. Offering enhanced training materials, interactive tutorials, and a more structured onboarding process could make adoption easier for new users.

    • Cannot press [enter] to call, you need to manually click on the call button
    • There are some features that require more clicks than I would expect, i.e. hanging up requires clicking on [spoke to] as well as [end call], which can be annoying.

    Usability
    Exotel Techcom
    As I said previously, Ameyo is a good tool however it has a long way to go compared to Avaya. The user interface can be improved a lot as they can use it as an app instead of completely web-based. Also, the reporting can be improved substantially and make the experience much better.

    Support Rating
    Exotel Techcom
    Initially they had chat support which was available faster. But now the chat support gets routed to a virtual agent and unable to get in touch with an actual agent. They also have no support with respect to the API's and other integrations.

    Exotel was selected by us because of the following reasons: -Low set-up and maintenance cost as compared to its peers. -Prompt customer service: You want to upgrade your plan or facing any issues around the platform, Exotel team is just a call away. -Call recording Quality was also better than the peers.
