Nectar Desk vs. Nextiva Contact Center

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.

We have over 50 locations and an in-house call center, so having a united platform to perform customer service duties is absolutely critical. Nextiva Contact Center is a very effective solution for large teams and multi-location businesses. If you need to regularly report on call volume and agent performance, it is extremely helpful. A very small team may not benefit from it as much as a medium to large scale one.

• 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.

• Nextiva allows you to set up the Contact Center to fit your exact needs.
• The Contact Center has a consistency of quality. Dropped calls or interrupted calls are very rare. The voice quality is always great on both ends.
• The Contact Center allows us to have a Call Center with 50+ numbers to assist our customers and attendees. At the same time, it allows us to have a main line for our Customer Support, Sales, etc...

• 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.

• I'd like to be able block numbers globally through the web portal rather than having it done through tech support.
• Mobile app sometimes continues to ring even though the call has been picked up via the desktop app or physical phone.

Outside of emails, Nextiva is the only way to contact our customers and their attendees, and the only way that they can contact us. We are a smaller company, but with Nextiva we can operate and manage our contact center easily no matter how much our company grows in the future. Nextiva is a versatile tool that can fit any need

The usability of this software is pretty easy if you're using it every day to monitor or take calls. The reporting does take some time to get used to accessing, but once you are well versed with the system it is very easy to tailor to your needs

Every single experience with the Nextiva Contact Center has been beyond amazing! The support team is always caring and kind, and they get the problem solved as soon as possible if needed. They always follow up to make sure the issue has been resolved. That's one of the reasons why I have been a customer for so long.

It isn't just about clear calls- which they have in spades. The features on this platform are like little productivity cheerleaders. We can track calls, analyze performance, and even set up call routing so the right seller gets the right lead

• 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.

• With a lot of our employees doing remote work, Nextiva Contact Center phone system supports remote access which has reduced our need for physical office space and associated costs.
• It has reduced our maintenance and repair costs associated with outdated equipment.
• The exceptional quality of sound has led to a higher satisfaction during meetings.
