Considered Both Products
Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google is a known product that many have used and we didn't see any other competitors having the edge that they do in their products. This is seen in their customer service when it comes to learning how to use the product and they have the resources to self-learn it.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Only IBM WATSON assistant has been the one we have used in the company, in fact, it was the first to use it because currently in the market there are not many options to use, and if there are they are not receiving enough publicity, so we have limited ourselves to google cloud …
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
I haven't used a different service, this is my first time using anything like this.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google Cloud Contact Center AI allows more versatility than NICE CXone. CXone also does not offer virtual agents. CXone is a little more robust in terms of handling large call volumes without a hiccup, but since Google is better able to route calls, volume increases are easily …
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
I have not used any others.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google cloud is the obvious choice over others because it is handier, has more features, more powerful tool to use in daily life. You can always take advantage of Google over others. Google Cloud can be synced with numerous other platforms and can be worked out easily without a …
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Earlier to this, we never had an AI solution in place for the contact center jobs, therefore, I do not have any software/platform to compare Contact Center AI.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Both are excellent but I like the integration and analytics with Google Cloud better. The reason the analytics are more intuitive and easier to manage and maintain. I like the integrated dashboards and I have to do less spreadsheet work it seems at times. But both platforms …
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google Cloud Contact Center AI was way better than the competitors we analyzed, especially the Dialogflow usage made our decision of going with Google Cloud Contact Center AI very easy.
VirtualPBX
Chose VirtualPBX
We did our search over a decade ago - probably 15 years. I no longer recall the competitors we evaluated. Sorry.

I can say that the "would you recommend to a collogue" is not a theoretical question for me in this case. I have recommended VirtualPBX multiple times - and know …
Chose VirtualPBX
We started with the irugubak VirtualPBX around the year 2000. We were extremely satisfied with that and now can't say more about the newly updated version.

As for other system,I did not feel it was at all necessary to investigate given our extreme satisfaction with this vendor
Chose VirtualPBX
Auto attendant and voice conference capabilities are a good value for SOHO users that need to make a positive impression upon their customers.

Likelihood to Recommend
In a specific scenario in which I would not recommend it, it would be in a hospital, since the level of margin of error must be minimal, human lives are at risk and can cost dearly if Google cloud contact center AI fails, in the scenario in which I would recommend it, it would be in that of a legal company

We consider that it is a very complete internet call software that is worth having in all companies that want to increase their sales through customer service agents because, with all its tools, agents improve their workday by day.

Pros
  • Google Cloud Contact Center AI is based on the same foundation infrastructure and services as Google Assistant, therefore, it is robust and flexible. The APIs are very well built and documented as well. Any newbie can start using the service with a very little learning curve.
  • Seamless integrations are also a great add-on. Google makes sure that Contact Center AI service integrates well with leading customer service platforms which helps any user to use only the required functionalities from Contact Center AI and meanwhile use any other primary platform.
  • Robust documentation which is always alive and is updated within no time is of great help! Google makes sure its end customers know what to do where and when in clear plain text and any issues/ bugs are also documented.

  • Provides real-time analytics and reports that show agent performance during a call, email, or chat, analyzing conversations and indicating where to improve.
  • All call recording features are very easy to access and configure such as regular call recordings and scheduled recordings for specific customers.
  • As it is a cloud-based software with mobile access, we can use it outside the office without any problems, just with the phone and internet connection.

Cons
  • It's still in the beginning phase of sentimental Analysis and more data sets can really help during tough conversations.
  • Automation can be made a little simpler and basic for anyone to be able to work on it.
  • Each instance of the software can have its own AI learning for a wider range of real time issues.

We are happy with the implementation and functionality of the software and associated systems. In general, unless something better can replace this system we intend on continuing. We think the ease of systems implementation and integration adds value and substantiates the use and excellent functionality of the product and associated services.

Usability
Generally intuitive and easy to learn. I would like more guides but the learning curve is rather quick and makes the software rather an easy study for the average user. Generally, the support and functionality of the software make for a generally good outcome and easy implementation of the software and user experience.

So much easier than our old PBX or any on-prem PBX I have ever used. We were up and running in an hour. Tweaking the caller menus is so easy.
