Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise is a contact centre solution with a lot of flexibility. It is highly adaptable and offers a significant number of capabilities for a very very large business, all of which aid in providing effective customer service, a superior next-generation experience, and uninterrupted operations.
Pros and Cons
  • 15+ languages supported
  • Easy to export any report
  • Remotely accessible
  • User interface is a bit tricky to use
  • Changing configuration also requires someone with technical knowledge about the platform
  • Licensing is also an inconvenience
Likelihood to Recommend
All the Cisco products are best at industrial standards. Cisco Unified Contact Center is also one the best call center management software used by many other large organizations. The biggest advantage of Cisco Unified Contact Center over others is that its scalability and automation can not be compared to other competitors.

To be honest, there are tools better than Cisco Unified Contact Center because it largely depends on third party integrations with better alternatives available now a days.

Cisco Unified Contact Center is being used in many organisations we work [with] as a vendor, to help them make or receive calls related to sales, support, employee help, etc as a Contact Center Solution. It's a very stable and robust solution, customers do not want to migrate to any other contact center solution.
Pros and Cons
  • Call flow customisation using scripting
  • Database integration
  • CRM integrations
  • Licensing is not fully unified
  • Call scripting interface should be more friendly
  • Call scripting not supported by RAC
Likelihood to Recommend
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express is easy to deploy, less resource-intensive, [has] great technical support by well known Cisco TAC, great capabilities, granular call customisation, can be integrated with database, CRM solutions to support the customers in much better ways, can be used for many small to medium Contact Center Solution.
Support Rating
9
Call scripting support must be provided, at least basic call flow customisation and not a straight no from Cisco TAC. Network engineers are not software programmers who are well versed with scripting or programming. There should be more resources available for training. For ucce there is very less resource to understand and deploy the product.

Inbound or outbound calls, chatting with the agent or integration with database, CRM, recording solutions, workforce optimization, call customisation, call queues, IVR, call campaigns, detailed reports and everything that you would like to have in a Contact Center Solution is there already. It is a proven product [that] is highly robust and stable.

Cisco manages to be efficient for both remote and face-to-face work. It is used to contact customers, partners, and all company stakeholders. We transfer to other sectors to be able to finalize the services with the customers, thus trying to verify case by case in each system available in each sector.
Pros and Cons
  • Integrations with CRMs.
  • Pause and resume calls.
  • Customization of reports.
  • Sometimes it becomes a little complex to work with the tool, sometimes due to slowness or failures during login.
  • The support leaves a lot to be desired, sometimes it responds quickly and sometimes it takes a long time to get the necessary service.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend it to other people in my contact and business circle, but if I recommend it to someone who has certain difficulties in accessing some tools within Cisco, he may have great difficulty in getting help because of the support that is lacking in most of the times.

As I said before, I think the support fails a lot sometimes. It works eventually. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow. And not being sure you have support ready, hurts the overall experience of the tool.

Overall, the tool is amazing. We were able to perform all the mini-tasks that we have in each of the calls. And with the difficulty of support, we deliver this note. But we believe that if support improves, it's 10 for sure!!

The CUCC is being used within the organization to be able to get in touch with our customers at our centers, make transfers to other areas of the sector to be able to perform our customer service with excellence.
Pros and Cons
  • Able to pause and resume the call to check system information.
  • Call transfer
  • The possibility of monitoring contacts.
  • Sometimes due to system failures, we end up being forced to restart the page and re-login.
  • Sometimes it ends up being a little slow.
  • It takes a long time to complete 100% of the implementation.

In our [organization] Cisco Unified Contact Center is basically used for multichannel contact management over an IP infrastructure basically to interact with customers & internal employees over voice, email, webchat, and social media. It’s an all-in-one solution for call center agents to work under one umbrella.
Pros and Cons
  • It’s an easy to deploy & easy to use solution.
  • It smoothly [integrates] inbound and outbound voice applications with Internet applications such as real-time chat & E-mail.
  • Better management of incoming calls with conditional routing.
  • The licensing mechanism for enabling each feature is really complex.
  • Administration is a nightmare.
  • The application is bit heavier than its counterparts.
  • The solution is bit expensive.
Likelihood to Recommend
I really enjoy being able to quickly pull call and agent statistics for both historical and real-time data. I like that I can build dashboards using different reports. I like the way I can export the reports to an excel or CSV file. Also, everyone can customize their own reporting & dashboard.

I am using Cisco Unified Intelligent Center, call manager and ccmp, jabber, IP phones, etc. Basically, everything comes as a package to provide a contact centre setup. Creating agents, providing access, and addressing the issue faced by the users. Cisco provides such a good service that once the user understands the system properly then the user experience is really awesome, on day to day basis the issue we came across is not because of any discrepancy in the product but lack of understanding on the user side, which also can be reduced by providing orientation program.
Pros and Cons
  • Reporting related to call details , agent details, billing, etc.
  • Routing as per the user requirements as part of redundancy.
  • Best customer experience through the technical assistance.
  • GUI of CUIC can be improvised.
  • API development could be more effective for avoiding the slow loading of some features in CUIC.
  • The user helping manual must be included in the call manager to handle some configuration that requires long-term memory power of the brain.
Likelihood to Recommend
Cisco Unified Contact Center is best suited for the eCommerce business that sells products, but in order to support big telecom services, it needs more automation. Some users have a habit of spending less and squeezing more, for them if contact centre services are required then there are lots of things to be done through automation which will reduce the frustrating human-based error which seriously impacts business.

Vetted Review
Verified User
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have been partners with Cisco for more than 15 years. It's used in most of our customer deployments as a contact center solution to provide and fulfill the extreme level of complex call flow design requirements. It addresses an extreme level of personalization from a call flow, IVR, routing, and reporting perspective. It has a very simple user-friendly UI. Also, it can be integrated with multiple third-party solutions for recording, like Verint. The agents can log in to their PC using Finesse over an internet browser, so no extra software is needed for agent login.
Pros and Cons
  • Advanced features for call routing development.
  • Omnichannel.
  • Contact center monitoring dashboards.
  • Customization capabilities.
  • Hard times with implementation, due to some complexities in the solution suite.
Likelihood to Recommend
Cisco UCCE is a good choice for large and complex contact center environments, where the call flows should be integrated with multiple backend systems, making them a good fit for UCCE as a use case to deploy. It also fits well with the customers that have widely distributed agent offices that are connected through capable networking bandwidth. It fits also in all the business types, especially in the banking sector, because most of our deployments were in that type of business.

In our organization's IT department, we use the Cisco Unified Contact Center to address common problems for our own employees such as supervisors, SMEs, agents, and Program Managers to attend from password resets to red codes opening specific program glitches. This program is very intuitive and you can customize it for each case solution.
Pros and Cons
  • Deliver a proactive and personalized customer experience
  • Support for 25+ languages
  • You can create a wide variety of customized dashboards
  • It's difficult to implement and it takes a lot of time
  • Some features suddenly stop working and we have to reload the page it or restart it
  • Some bugs that can take a long time to fix
Likelihood to Recommend
A good scenario to implement this software would literally be any scenario where you want your organization to be the leader in the industry since it has many tools to solve problems and provide excellent customer service, you have real-time data features that you can take advantage of to improve your team.

It is an excellent option in all scenarios since it is well suited to work with any type of call center from 10 people to 10,000 the benefit is always the same.

We started to implement Cisco Unified Contact Center in our company after having a bad experience with other software, I found it great to have implemented it, it offers solutions for our contact center of more than 1000 agents and it is growing.

The communication for the agent is excellent since this software allows you to equip agents with multi-channels of communication that allow them to take chats, calls, emails, and more.

Only with this, it is worth mentioning that we have had a growth in our satisfaction surveys since we provide more personalized customer service and also much faster.
Pros and Cons
  • Provide multichannel for contacts to have a better customer service.
  • It has a great IVR tool feature that helps us retaining our customers.
  • It provides solutions for small, medium and large companies, so everyone can try it
  • Needs some time to get it installed and fully implemented.
  • Sometimes it bugs a little bit with some features.
  • Is not that easy to integrate with APIs and other tools.
Likelihood to Recommend
To be accurate we use Cisco Unified Contact Center in almost all areas of our company, whether to evaluate our agents, for statistics about how many contacts we receive daily, it is clearly our best option to be able to have everything in order in our company and I am sure that this makes it 100% recommended for any contact center.

It is a little less appropriate if you have a rush implementing the system after having another one, as this takes a long time and is stressful and tedious to implement.

The application is being used by most departments. Other departments have specific applications more in line with their respective role in the company. Cisco Unified Contact Center provides a centralized hub for all incoming contacts, which makes it easier for our QA and RTA specialists to view and analyze data on top of making it easier for our teams to handle the priority contact due to importance.

  • Great adapatation
  • Task scheduling
  • Performance tracking

When you receiving multiple types of contact through the same channel you are able to quickly filter the different types of requests incoming with the help of Cisco Unified Contact Center.

Cisco Unified Contact Center was originally thought to improve in some areas of opportunities in our business, it was good to deliver some results, however, we find a lot of glitched and errors on it, that we can handle at this time but, we'll really expect this software to improve and their creators to put a little bit more effort on support when is needed.
Pros and Cons
  • Good management and easy-to-use
  • Customer Satisfaction improved a lot
  • Contacts are easy to handle
  • It's really glitchy sometimes
  • It lacks on support when it fails
  • It's losing potential if lack of support and glitches are not solved

Cisco Unified Contact Center is doing particularly well for my small business, I manage around 245 people in here, and they are doing great with this software, is not that complicated to have them monitored and call recordings have a great quality.

Sometimes I just get disappointed with the glitches, but it's not the glitch itself (like you cannot press the Dial button, or you cannot jump from one page to another) is the unresponsive service desk they have.

Cisco Unified Contact Center is used across the department for one of the most important tasks, and that is to survey customer satisfaction rating which helps us understand the level of support we provide, make better adjustments and improvements in our support and it also helps us measure/improve performance of our agents during the calls.
Pros and Cons
  • Allows us to measure performance of employees
  • Allows us to gather service satisfaction rating from customers

We have agents working from a couple of offices and/or remotely for some others. Cisco Unified Contact Center helps us solve issues of personalization required for call flow and IVR, and in total transparency for our customers. Finesse (the agent cockpit) is intuitive and easy to use. In terms of reporting, we also get everything we need. We also use the call recording feature (OEM calabrio).
Pros and Cons
  • Easy to use agent cockpit (Finesse) available from web browser.
  • Lots of integrations available (Calabrio, Verint, CRMs, etc...)
  • High level of personalization (need some scripting skills/resources)
  • May need scripting skills (vs new Webex Contact Center which is easier to configure)
  • Rely on third party solution (Calabrio) for call recording
Likelihood to Recommend
Cisco contact center Express is well suited for small/medium CC (up to 400 agents). It is also easy to implement when already in a cisco (CUCM) environment. But, going forward, I would suggest looking for the new Webex Contact Center (Cloud/SAAS Cisco offering) as the new features/updates might be available sooner/quicker on this new platform, more agile.

[Cisco Unified Contact Center] is being used by our contact centers. It allows us to call each other internally, make outbound calls to our customers from designated CSQs, and accept incoming calls from out customers directly or calls that have been routed through different support queues. It tracks our call volumes, agents statistics as well as out call handling.

  • View my history for today
  • Call handling and analysis
  • Agent handling and analysis
  • Tracking and understanding historical and present trends

Cisco Unified Contact Center is used for our customer experience through our call center. Our agents help clients and customers with any issues, new business opportunities, or any other items. The cisco call integration is a part of making the customer experience smoother by wasting less of our agents and customers time.

  • Licensing model is old
  • Some call options are limited
Likelihood to Recommend
For routing calls and getting our customers to the right agents, this is where Cisco Unified Contact Center shines. There are always hiccups in the process, but for the most part, this alone saves enough time to keep our agent utilization high and our customer turnaround time low. For large call centers, this is a must have.

Cisco Unified Contact Center was being used by our call center team. Obviously, since this is a call center solution, it addresses the business problem of needing to set up multiple agents to be enabled to receive multiple calls in a queue based system. It is also used by the peripheral staff that need to use it to run reports.
Pros and Cons
  • Ability to expand
  • Control and ownership of solution
  • Ability to customize
  • Use of special proprietary software in order to edit the call flows
  • More complicated and dense than it needs to be
  • Solution is not made for remote work

Cisco Unified Contact Center is well suited for large organizations that are able to host their own, on premise servers, and are able to properly manage that. Cisco Unified Contact Center is not well suited to any sort of call center that needs 24-7 with no downtime, or for any remote work.

Cisco Unified Contact Center is used in my costumer services department, where it provides us with a solution through software that in turn is very sophisticated and secure, which makes the company more confident with the services. But what it has helped us the most is in surveying customers since this way we can measure the performance of the agents and the areas that need improvement.
Pros and Cons
  • Helps us collect data, information and comments from our customers.
  • It is very complete since it has different channels to be able to communicate with clients and locate their needs.
  • There is a great communication between agents and supervisors in order to improve the productivity of the processes.
  • I could expand the maximum number of agents that can be connected since my company amounts to more than 600 agents.
  • It could be a little more personalized with graphics to make the KPIS review faster.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is very appropriate to know how my agents are doing their work, such as customer service since it is a service of utmost importance for my company and helps me determine how to improve. It also helps me to know the interests of my clients in order to offer them quality services and that the company is always at the forefront with the strictest needs of my clients.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is used in all our customer deployments as a contact center solution to mitigate the extreme level of complex call flow design. It adresses extreme level of personalisation in terms of call flow, IVR,Time of day routing , database reporting, and Workflow management. It has a very simple UI interface and can be integrated with muliple third-party vendors for recording eg Verient and Callabrio solutions. Our agents can log in to their PC using Finesse over an internet browser so no extra software is needed for agent login.
Pros and Cons
  • No extra configuration needed on agents PC as he/she can login via any internet brower
  • Agents can use sofphone or hardphone to login as per theye convinence
  • Easy integration with third-party vendors for wor flow management and call recording
  • Sometime finesses gives a lot of error if java is updated on windows
  • Script troubleshooting is not supported by cisco TAC which should be included
  • its licensing is still not integrated with PLM so changing any network parameter like NTP,DNS need a license rehost
  • Considering size of user,UCCX should accommodate more number of users as in UCCE
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for a small to medium size environment where a number of users is 300-600 as in UCCX. For more than 1000 for UCCE. Also, it is well suited for complex call flow designs for telecoms and call centers type of environment where number of call flow is extremely high and not like it's in small offices.

[Cisco Unified Contract Center] is the primary contact center platform used in our org. We have a large CC environment that is an essential component of our business. The platform caters to various lines of business that supports help desks and customer support lines spread across the globe.
Pros and Cons
  • [Cisco Unified Contract Center] as an on prem platform is a robust legacy platform
  • UCCX is also a stable on prem solution for smaller call centers
  • CVP added to a [Cisco Unified Contact Center] design is more advanced in delivering customized self service and Omni channel treatments
  • The basic code of pretty much all [Cisco Unified Contact Center] platforms haven't changed in forever
  • The newer releases focus more on bug fixes rather than providing innovative integrations
Likelihood to Recommend
As pertains to [Cisco Unified Contact Center] UCCE and UCCX - whether on prem or hosted, are more suitable for contact centers of different sizes - where complex integrations is not a major business requirement.
