    At our company, we launch a new property project and receive many customer inquiries in a single day. Zoom contact center helped our team manage all calls and follow-ups properly without missing leads. It is very useful for handling customer communication. During peak hours, some agents face call delays, making it a bit difficult to track reports quickly.

    Pros
    Google
    • So, first of all it gives the answer or translates in real time which is awesome.
    • It has speaker diarization, which detects who spoke each segment. This is a great feature because it can track the number of people as well.
    • It has an automatic punctuation system that detects each punctuation mark, such as a dot and a comma, and places it in the text.
    • Lastly, it offers a variety of language translations, providing a global platform for interaction with people from different countries.

    Cons
    Google
    • Integration outside of the google eco system is challenging here.
    • Google Cloud Speech-to-Text works only with active internet connection if the internet bandwidth is low it effect the transcription process and can lead to data inaccuracy.
    • In terms of the pricing also this is at higher range which all the companies cannot afford like small scale organisation if they would like to use the tool they would look over the price to make the decision. Reducing the price can increase the product usage more

    • The integration with Zoom Phone is still ongoing, so it initially required some tricky configuration and additional phone numbers, but that's no longer a requirement now.
    • I would love a way to use physical handsets with the Contact Centre. Currently, it's all softphone integration on a PC or Mac. But it's a great experience and very similar to using Zoom Meetings, so there's minimal training for staff needed.
    • The Admin Settings on the backend can be tricky to navigate. Still, you have much more customization and constant feature upgrades than I've ever seen with any other Contact Centre service.

    We are very likely to renew Zoom Contact Center because it has been a stable and reliable solution for our organization. It fits well within the broader Zoom ecosystem that we already use, including Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone, and Zoom Chat, which creates a more seamless experience for users and reduces complexity.
    The product quality has been strong overall, and we have also had positive experiences with Zoom’s customer service. While there are still areas where reporting and certain features could improve, the platform has delivered enough value in usability, stability, and integration to make renewal likely.

    Usability
    Google
    The reasoning behind my 10 is that the UI is very intuitive; I didn't require any formal training to use it. Google's speech-to-text is not just a conversion tool; it helps automate mundane tasks, saves time, and has an almost human-like understanding.

    Usability is one of Zoom Contact Center's strongest selling points. It feels like a natural extension of the Zoom platform rather than a bolted-on contact center tool, which made adoption across our team noticeably smoother than previous system rollouts. Zoom Contact Center is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate for both agents and administrators. For organizations already using Zoom, the learning curve is minimal.

    We have had a positive experience with Zoom Contact Center support overall. Support has generally been responsive and helpful, and our interactions have given us confidence in the product and platform.
    In addition to the support experience itself, the product has been stable and reliable in day-to-day use, which helps reduce the need for frequent support involvement. When support has been needed, the experience has been solid enough to reinforce our overall positive view of the platform.
    For those reasons, we would rate the overall support highly, while still recognizing there is always room for improvement.

    I implemented Zoom Contact Center myself, and overall the process was straightforward. The platform was relatively easy to configure, and it did not require an unusually large amount of internal support or complexity to get up and running.
    One of the advantages during implementation was how well it fit within the broader Zoom environment, which helped reduce friction and made the setup feel more familiar. In our experience, the implementation process was manageable and efficient overall.
    There is always some room for improvement, but the implementation was smooth enough that I would rate the experience highly.

    Google Cloud Speech-to-Text outperformed its competitors significantly in terms of accuracy, surpassing any other product available. Additionally, its support for multiple languages was unrivaled in the market. Moreover, for clients with robust bandwidth, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text offered real-time transcription capabilities, enabling users to transcribe live audio streams with minimal delay.

    This tool has enabled us to identify each user's needs across our various communication channels. It has also facilitated a direct point of contact with Zoom’s technical support team, allowing us to document and escalate any situation requiring specialized assistance, which is the primary reason we chose Zoom. I would recommend it to any colleague or company, as it offers a wide variety of tools, and—now, with the integration of AI—the level of service has improved significantly.

    Return on Investment

    • It reduced our budget for assistants who transcribed files manually
    • It speeds up the process, because we can have a transcriptions straight after the interviews
    • It increased accuracy, because AI makes the transcriptions for every second, and you can find the words which were said at specific time.

    • Intuitive, Easier and almost effortless to maintain.
    • Lesser Operational Expenses that the alternative we also have
    • We wish it has a better integration with Zoom Phone, in terms of channels integration (Voice and Chat) to quick identify callers.
    • It is missing "modular" programming to "reuse" Existing Flows and call them from other flows then return to the main flow.
    • It is missing the capability to compartmentalizing different teams/groups related to reporting, admin, and global parameters.
