    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.

    It is absolutely perfect for flexible hybrid teams that want to combine daily calls, texts, and video meetings without needing a dedicated IT person. However, I would completely skip this software if you run a massive outbound call center because the system reporting is just way too basic right now.

    Pros
    Exotel Techcom
    • To quickly and effectively route customer inquiries to the appropriate agents our customer support team uses it's omnichannel routing feature , a member with technical knowledge may be contracted by customer who has a technical questions.
    • Its automated ticket routing features allows customer service team to distribute tickets to customer team member in accordance with their availability and skill sets. by ensuring that tickets are handled by most knowledgeable agents this can result in quicker and more precise resolutions.
    • Its AI powered knowledge base search feature helps us to quickly find the details required to respond to inquiries from customer , this time it take to respond to customer inquires is shortened as a result.

    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.

    • I wish I could use the speed dials from my phone on the apps
    • I wish there was a regular reboot of phones during off hours to help from the inevitable glitches of VoIP phones
    • It would be nice if extensions were updated without the need to reboot phones.

    They are knocking it out of the park on all fronts. I love the service and support I am receiving and have no complaints. If they raised their prices substantially I would reconsider but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. They would have to mess up something consistently moving forward to make me want to move

    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.

    Overall, it's a decent product for the price. It has the basic features our company needed when it was brand new and was not overly difficult to set up. As we've grown, it's become increasingly difficult to build out the features we want to implement within the PBX, and customer support can be less than helpful. Many of the more advanced features (dial plans, queues, etc.) take a lot of research to understand how to implement. Some of the features we paid for weren't even available when we were attempting to set them up.

    I have never experienced or heard of unplanned outages when it comes to GoTo Connect. Most of the time the unplanned outage is always local power at a site or internet service provider having an unplanned outage. GoTo's service has never failed any of our orgs yet that I know of.

    There is no lag in phone calls. There is no background noise or static/fuzz. Calls are crystal clear. With other dialers and phone systems, I have experienced delays between dialogue or delays with the caller picking up the phone and then being able to hear you. We do not experience this with Go To Connect.

    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.

    One of the MOST challenging things in tech support is that some of the offshore agents "don't speak Texan/English", and are really hard to understand. GoTo Connect's support is usually someone who is VERY easy to understand their US/English, and are very helpful. In dozens of interactions for our business & our clients, we've only had a few tickets that couldn't be resolved on the first call

    The training videos could be more in-depth. This would help our user base so that they can feel impowered to look up information that they need without having to ask our admins every time they have a question about the system. Online training videos are also inferior to an actual person explaining systems.

    It was great. Provisioning the phones was the trickiest part, but once we figured that out, actually setting up users, lines, dial plans, and everything like that was really easy. We were easily able to provision phones, ship them out to all our outside locations, and make changes from the home office.

    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.

    Go-To was the more cost-effective option between these. They also had the closest alignment to our goals and what we needed for our company without going overboard. We are happy with our decision and will continue to recommend Go-To.

    Its not readily apparent to me, other than cost, where you would run into any issues with larger scale deployments. When we went live on the product, the Jive team was always willing to do mass updates for us on our extensions, users, etc. in the system, so we didn't have to do too much manual one-by-one updates.

    • Cost Savings have been realized from reducing hardware .
    • We are all able to collaborate remotely and it has been seamless and easy to setup.
    • I'm able to pull reports, i wish there was improvement on the data analysis side. It has gotten better since LogMeIn, but something is a miss and can be improved.
