Playvox
Playvox is well suited to rate and track process adherence and work quality percentual. It is also great to document coaching and track advisors' development, as well as to do knowledge checks through quizzes. It is not so appropriate if you need to see the previous coachings made, since those cannot be opened when they finished.

The ease of use and file retention/retrieval is key. The adjustment from an e-mail-focused workflow to the RingCentral Contact Center was easier with the organization. Recall and search features mimic Outlook and allow me to quickly find what I’m looking for. RingCentral Contact Center is not ideal for communication with external partners, so we still have to rely on Outlook e-mails for that.

Pros
Playvox
  • It's easy to start evaluating since it pulls up all the data automatically.
  • It is easy to generate reports as all the data is stored in its servers and we just download it.
  • Filters make it easy to see our Associates' areas of opportunity and strengths.

  • Reliability: Our previous service was prone to outages, RingCentral Contact Center has been rock solid as long as we've used it.
  • Integration: Our IT team was able to build a custom RingCentral Contact Center dashboard on our website for our salespeople to manage inbound/ outbound calling. From there we were able to send call data directly into activities in our ERP (Acumatica).
  • Ease of use: It works well whether in the office or WFH (which many employees do regularly.

Cons
Playvox
  • The speed of loading the chat that I am evaluating for the customer service representative because sometimes it shows that there is an error in the load.
  • Keep a lot of information
  • It should have more languages for ease of control

  • I would like to be able to text from our main office line rather than only my office direct line, so I can keep my direct line private
  • I wish it was easier for all users to be able to toggle between calls ringing at their desk phone and cell phone
  • It would be nice if the process to add other team member's numbers to our desk phone screen was easier

I do not think my organization has and 2nd thought of changing the Playvox because I am sure they cannot find another option that is as easy and smooth. There is no other option at all. Playvox is being used here in every department and the company cannot run without this. Now it is a basic need of this business

We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service

Usability
Playvox
Playvox is an easy-to-use platform, all features are intuitive, which makes navigation easy. I never found navigation problems, I was always able to find all the items I needed, all the information is well separated, what could improve is the possibility of moving some items, putting the ones that I use the most in evidence.

RingCentral Contact Center is not just only an app or platform which allows the company to manage the telephone calls, messaging functions, social media and emails, but also allows advanced features like the possibility of easy integration with other industrial systems, and customer/call analysis functions as well. It also supports and included with AI technology as well into some extent.

We have had multiple live trainings (Zoom). The training at the beginning of the set up was top notch. We had some additional questions about coaching and they jumped on the opportunity to help us. We have a designated trainer and account manager.

We honestly did not need much support but whatever we wanted was resolved via email and that experience was nice but took a bit of time

From the day first, we were active on Playvox and happy with the features. It does not take much time to understand its features and its performance. A few training sessions with 'How to use' and we are experts using Playvox.

Alternatives Considered
Playvox
I selected Playvox as it is the platform my organization uses. I've never worked with another platform like this. In other companies I worked, procedures, communications, and training were not saved, they were only communicated verbally and sometimes a document with what should be done, but nothing compared to the ease of using a Playvox.

RingCentral Contact Center's application is much more intuitive than Nextiva's application. It's also easier to configure. It also has a lot of functionality that Nextiva does not. For example, RingCentral will transcribe Voice mail messages for us, whereas Nextiva does not. RingCentral also sends us notifications when a customer sends us a text message, whereas Nextiva does not.

  • With RingCentral Contact Center we were able to connect with our customers. The feature that allows the call to be sent to the first available rep ensured that this happened.
  • Also, my favorite feature is the call recording and transcription feature. This allowed me to get the customer's emails without asking them to repeat if I missed them the first time. Hence, happier customers and more meetings.
  • RingCentral Contact Center also made it very easy to set up a mailbox for customers to leave messages and reassure them that they've connected with the right person.
