    I have tried a few programs over the years to record and track calls and this one is by far the best. Easy to use and more functions than I will ever use. I love the reporting options. There was one particular scenario that comes to mind where I was glad to have FluentCloud. I had a client that was really really angry, cussing, yelling, threatening suit, etc. because he had gone to an appointment almost 2 hours away and when he got there the woman told him that we forced her to schedule the appointment, that we were pushy and rude and she just wanted to get off the phone. Thankfully I found the recording and was able to prove to him that she DID schedule the appointment but she also picked the day and time, answered all of the questions and took absolutely no persuasion at all. Basically it was an easy close. The client couldn't believe it and still to this day he is my client.

    It is an awesome tool for companies that have a hybrid or even fully remote setup and where the integration with Salesforce is needed. The solution completely replaces old phone systems and adds another layer of data to Salesforce, to give an even better view of the interaction with clients, adding automatically events/activities which can in turn be used to reporting purposes.

    Pros
    FluentStream Technologies
    • FluentCloud is excellent at customer service, their staff is always helpful and responsive. I have never had a typical service experience where first diagnosis is always the user's system. Their engineering staff is also hands on, I've been so grateful to have Brian's help in selecting the right router - he even configured it for us.
    • Ease of use, the system is quite easy to use even beyond adding extensions, users, new DID phone numbers and complex routing queues. It's also easy to configure feature codes and program them so users can perform multi-step tasks with a few key punches on their dial pad. We use feature codes to allow callers to switch their caller ID to our DID numbers that are local to the area on the fly.
    • Robust features: ability for whisper coaching, barge in and a dashboard to visually check the status of each user.

    Cons
    FluentStream Technologies
    • There are times when calls are really garbled, there was a couple months there that we couldn't listen to any of the recordings because they were not decipherable.
    • They changed something recently where now when you are listening to a recording and you hit pause it takes you back to the beginning when you start again rather than just continuing where you left off. That is a pain in the butt because I have to pause quite often for interruptions.

    • For our use case, Natterbox fits all checkboxes, we're now starting to investigate the use of their AI, but that's in very early stage.

    At this time there our research has found that feature for feature there isn't a better solution for our needs at this cost point. We have had great success and don't foresee a need to change

    We use the Natterbox CTI interface, seating on top of and integrated with Salesforce. The interface is minimalist, popping up as the calls arrive and bringing the Caller's details if they exist in Salesforce. The user then have the possibility to open the Caller's record and visualise the details and add notes, or make the notes in the pop-up window which will end up in the contact's record activity. Very easy to use. The routing queue interface is also very user friendly with drag and drop items that make it visually easy to read and understand.

    I have used others besides what is listed below but FluentCloud is by far the best I have used, especially when it comes to tracking and reporting call volume and production of our calls. Being a call center that is production based on call volume having something like FluentCloud is essential.

    When signing up with Natterbox, our first goal was to replace the landline phone system as Covid hit and people moved to remote work. Second goal was to have a system that would integrate with Salesforce and provide an interface that would be easy to work with and learn for all levels of tech expertise. Those two goals were only achieved by Natterbox, by far.

    Return on Investment
    FluentStream Technologies
    • FluentCloud is a good value, we have done extensive cost comparison and the feature set vs price is very favorable.
    • The lack of a contract and ability to dynamically add or remove extensions as needed is great, we only pay for what we use.

    • It doesn't matter where anyone is physically located now, everyone can have their calls delivered to their mobile or laptop and answer them.
    • We now have internally the capacity to manage our call queues.
    • We now have a lot of data to report on, either grouping the calls by Campaign on Salesforce, or grouping them by Inbound or Outbound calls, or by User, or by Team.
