Webex Calling vs. Webex Contact Center

It's well suited for the hybrid work environment where we have people in the office, and people at home where, like I said, you don't have to provide a remote access point for the phone to be able to connect back or have to register through other means like expressways.

We suggest Webex Contact Center is well suited for a contact centre with anything between 10 agents and 1000 agents. If you are already consuming other WebEx or Cisco services (such as Webex Calling) then the Webex Contact Center should be a fairly easy product to introduce into your business. If you want to get up and running with minimal investment then this solution is worth evaluating.

• For example, with WebEx calling, it's an offer which include many features of each on-prem server and every features are included in WebEx calling. So that's something which is very appreciated by customer because they don't have to buy each server like it was the case. They just buy WebEx calling and they have many features. Even if they don't need it, they have it and we can give them the notice to use them and they can use it and they are very happy with this software.

• Things that it does particularly well include a really good UX or UI so that our agents as well as our administrators, can easily provide remote access from agents, new agents, and old agents, manage interactions with customers, and have a good call experience from start to finish.
• The uptime is a big selling point of Cisco.
• I feel supposed by Cisco in terms of new features/functionality coming down the line.

• I think that there are less emojis, there could be more since other free providers also provide the same
• International calling is a bit more expensive, could be taken down a bit
• Virtual backgrounds aren't that much appealing as well, there is room for improvement there

Incentivized

• Better integration with Webex Calling.
• More on premise features integrated into the cloud solution.
• Better documentation for pebble templates.
• Better information for changes and when new features are available. Instead of having to look on the what’s coming webpage alerts or a pop-up inside Webex control hub would be nice.

It is a very easy product to deploy and configure and to really take advantage of. It does not matter if you are using it in an office or your home, or for a security office or a collaboration meeting room - you have the right endpoint available for each case and the configuration parameters to improve the functionality you need.

This is help us to address old problems that is impacting our operation and now the customers reach to us over a fone call but also if they send a Whatsapp message they will receive the information that they request.

I have been working for a long time with Cisco as a provider and also Cisco TAC and Cisco Support Engineers. The support starts right beforehand in the documentation of the product you are interested in. From the start you have a good, complete, and detailed and easy to read datasheet and there's always someone available to answer any questions.

The differences between both software can be marginal in some aspects,
but for the campaign in a proffessional level it was a clear win to
Webex due the quality and security of the platform, being a Cisco
product has more impact on the final decision, and in the end the
overall experience has been great, having used Twilio in the past, that
last part is my personal opinion.

Calabrio and Webex Contact Center are both valuable for me working in tandem. They both provide their own information and processes that have become essential in delivering an efficient and effective working environment. They have allowed us to automate processes that were manual and time consuming previously into something that doesn't need hand holding and seems to work as intended.

• Webex Calling allowed us to continue working in a remote world
• While workshops are best in person, Webex Calling allowed us to continue offering that critical service and also included break out room functionality for small group activities, when needed.
• The recording feature allows everyone to hyper focus on the discussion - if anything was missed in notes, it was always saved in the recording when we had one. Perfect for interviews and workshops.

• Increasing the number of channels agent can reach out to customers, especially text has shaved off a lot of hours from calling , leaving voicemail and waiting for customers to call back.
• Less Downtime. No Upgrades or certificate Renewal, so fewer overtime hours.
• Adoption of new features is now so quick, I don't have to worry about upgrading the Software or even hardware to get new features deployed.
