Lifesize CxEngage vs. Nectar Desk

CxEngage can handle some more complex flow options that other vendors don't seem to be able to do. The integration for voice calls with Salesforce is a huge plus. The integration of email support with Salesforce is a BIG miss. After fighting with it for a year, we finally just turned it off and use Salesforce Omnichannel for email support. Chat using Salesforce Live Agent worked fine enough.

I would recommend Nectar Desk if you are going to launch it across an entire organization. By launching for only one department, it has been extremely difficult to not have the connectivity we want across the entire company.

• Customizing Multiple Ring Groups: Allows for different call routing options depending on what phone number is dialed by a caller
• Agent Login Tracking & Analytics: I can see minute by minute details of my team's login status and better understand how they're using their time
• IVR Set Up: I can set up and edit/change IVR settings with the click of a few buttons, it's super easy!
• Call History Tracking: I can easily filter and view all calls for the day to see what was inbound vs outbound, how many calls were handled by each agent, how many calls were missed, how many were outside of business hours, what the dispositions for each call were, and MORE. The Call History analytics are GREAT.

• Stronger support and more reliable system for users not on a commercial network
• Consumer friendly and intuitive reporting and dashboard tools. build canned reports
• Reporting: Ability to get a combined SVL for all queues included on a report (now we manually calculate after exporting the report into excel). Same for all major data points (ASA, AHT, etc.)
• Ability to include abandoned calls and an abandonment percentage which excludes short abandons on the Queue summary report. Now the report just shows total abandons and abandonment percentage so if we want to exclude short abandons we have to pull a separate report to find out how many calls abandoned in less than 10 seconds then calculate the "true abandoned number" (calls abandoned minus short abandons)
• Ability to change what is considered a "short abandon" and then report on it. Right now the only option is the built in tracking of calls that abandoned in equal to or less than 10 seconds.
• Ability to "save" an agents "default" skill profile so that any changes we make can be returned to "BAU" with a click of a button
• quicker data/historical report retrieval
• way to separate what we have listed as a queue name for reporting vs. what is used for the queue name in the "whisper" (the issue we had with WT queue naming conventions because we had to have the whisper be super precise)

• When a caller becomes assigned to an agent, SMS notifications are only sent to that agent. This is difficult for our call center manager to monitor if the team is handling all SMS replies efficiently and effectively.
• Because Nectar Desk is a chrome-based calling software, we are limited in accessing the platform. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this presented a challenge in making sure that all agents' at-home computers were capable of running the software.

We implemented in 2018 and were only given 8 weeks to do it...as per the direction of our parent company at the time. Serenova at the time responded well and we were able to go Live within 8-weeks...albeit the product overall was a big change and had gaps in features over our previous contact management solution.

It's been too many years...I don't remember. Except in 2021 we looked briefly at Amazon and Salesforce call center offerings. Both were too basic at the time that even if we got a great deal on licensing (we are a Salesforce house for other things), we couldn't easily (or at all) do things like Callbacks and some of the more robust flow buildouts that we have in place today with Lifesize.

• As the marketing agency that implemented this software for a client, we have 100% insight into call performance. Our client previously throughout random numbers, was always guessing on his team's performance, and now we have actual insight into how the intake team is truly performing—we know 100% of the inbound calls they make, how many outbound calls are made in a day, and how much time is spent 'idle'. This has allowed our client to hire the appropriate number of call center staff based on actual data and has allowed us to shift our marketing budget to focus on driving the right callers.
