Lifesize CxEngage vs. Net2Phone

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.

As the price is so low and the quality is good, you can't really fault anything plus, they provide the best SMS service, with high sound quality; nothing compares to the price, and they also provide ongoing customer support.

• Great flexibility working with flow creation and editing
• Great support staff
• Good overall package for workforce management and quality monitoring
• Integrates well with our tools.

• Rolls calls over to multiple phones in succession after a designated number of rings.
• Allows full access to voicemail and all settings through the app on your cell phone.
• One set same bill every month. No more long distance charges!
• Easy to block phone numbers (robocalls)
• Individual user login and setup for personalized functions

Incentivized

• 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)

Incentivized

• I think at performance level it is still to be improved as many time we face hang issues but i think that can be imrpoved soon by the company
• Having different configuration UIs on Web/App/Cloud, where it makes difficult to remmeber the exact places where to make changes. THere should be some syncing in configuration options
• service support to be improved.

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.

• The ability to get an email when you miss a call and can access your voice mail from anywhere helps with managing time
