WxCC Contact center ISP Review

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webex Contact Center as our primary voice platform. This is how a majority of our costumers interface with our support teams. Customer support is our main use case. We have over 400 calls in an hour for just one of our departments. Cisco Unified Contact center has allowed for a more unified communications method around the company with the ability to integrate into our existing webex usage.

Pros

  • Handle large call volumes
  • Flexibility when setting up call flows and automations
  • In depth Reporting
  • Good user management
  • wide feature set for call handling (manager drop in recordings etc)

Cons

  • the UI of the user management while functional could be a bit more unified. The contact center settings should be listed together with their Webex settings rather than in two different areas
  • more SCIM integration
  • bring hardware management from CUCM into WXCC rather than two separate portals

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a medium to large company the Cisco Unified Contact Center is great and provides all the flexibility needed to handle complex call flows and large customer volume I wouldn't use this for small business or community groups due to the complexity. However if it was managed by a 3rd party that would make it suitable for smaller businesses. All this being said it is highly dependent on what the user wants out of a call center. if you are dealing with more than one internal team then its a good choice.

for AI part , Cisco Unified Contact Center is not ready yet as there is no out of the box integration . For the Conversational IVR it doesnt have a native reporting support and alot of customization and configurations required to make it work. Cisco Unified Contact Center not supporting cloud and its on prem and this is a limitation. also not 100% API based solution compared to other solutions

Cisco Unified Contact Center For your sales team

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

End customers use Cisco Unified Contact Center as a channel to connect with their clients and the company, furthermore, they use this solution as way for merchandising campaigns for their sale team, in this way their Cisco Unified Contact Center is an important platform for the operation of the company because it is directly involved with profits. In our case, Cisco Unified Contact Center is part of our technical support call center, telesales teams and many marketing campaigns. As you can see, Cisco Unified Contact Center is a crucial part of our business, we have trusted in this platform to reach out to our end customers.

Pros

  • Income calls handling
  • Reports and dashboards
  • Team handling
  • Call flow and scripts for incoming calls
  • Integration with other collaboration solutions

Cons

  • Detailed reports, such as: a report for disconnected or hang out a call. Many times our end customer wants to know who hang out the call (the agent or the client) but this data is not easy to grab from Cisco Unified Contact Center, We have to refer to CUCM to collect this information and it's consuming time.
  • Better integration with recording solutions, many end customer doesn't have a good option for recording their calls, I don't know if there's a certified solution to integrate in a native way with.
  • Social media campaigns, integration with Facebook or Whatsapp, is possible?

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for telesales teams, telephone marketing campaigns, and technical support teams. Obviously you need the integration with CUCM solution, but I think that excluding CUCM dependecy, Cisco Unified Contact Center is a great option. You can manage and integrate with many solutions for reports and automation. Support and documentation is widely known on Cisco Forums and TAC support is on another level. I don't recommend Cisco Unified Contact Center for small business where they can fit on less than 100 agents, because the cost/benefits is not appropriate, you can go with other solutions like Webex contact center. Cisco Unified Contact Center requires technical skills, server dependencies, skills or experience on all portfolios of Cisco collaboration and a good trainer team for end users.

Cisco Unified Contact Center - Still an Industry Favorite

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I assist my customer (Superior Court of California, County of Ventura) with implementation and upgrade related activities. Cisco Unified Contact Center is used to provide the court with call centers for their specific departments such as Criminal, Traffic, and Family law. The court has call center agents that answer calls from the public. The court also utilizes this product for many different auto-attendants that the general public uses on a daily basis.

Pros

  • Provide callers with menu options that lead to specific users/departments.
  • Provide call center capabilities to the general public.
  • Allows call center agents to take calls.

Cons

  • Upgrades can be problematic, Cisco should do more testing before releasing updates and new versions of software.
  • Implementing high availability can have issues, more testing required here too.
  • Documentation around administration could also be improved.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think this product is well suited whenever a call center is desired or recommended... it is not well suited for auto-attendant applications. It is also an excellent choice when integration is required with databases.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use the product to develop IVRs and integrate customer data using Salesforce.

Pros

  • Using call Studio. You can use APIs to retrieve data from external systems, update systems, validate users, perform speech recognition, and it's all industry-leading technology.

Cons

  • Licensing. A lot of times the licensing is complex and to get certain things provisioned takes a little bit longer than it probably could.

Likelihood to Recommend

Large enterprises. It's a very solid, well-tested platform. High availability. So anyone in a large corporation definitely makes sense. Where it's not suited, for smaller organizations that don't have that backend support, something like WebEx Contact Center would probably be a better choice.

Cisco Unified Contact Center, Great solution for your call centers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cisco Contact Center is currently utilized by our Help Desk and Health department. Prior to Cisco Contact Center, calls came in via local PBX.

Having users to be on hold or simply ring until someone answers. With the help of Cisco Contact Center, now we have the ability to route calls to specific technicians with that assist in a timely manner.

Pros

  • Call Routing to agents
  • The ability to add scripts
  • Quick help while on hold

Cons

  • Ease of scripting
  • Web GUI that works with every web browser and version
  • Cleaner integration with Cisco CUCM and Webex

Likelihood to Recommend

Call routing is a deal breaker for me. With the ease of having calls route to specific agents or groups that can assist the end user in more timely manner helps. Also scripting for quick help while on hold helps alleviate some of the easiest issues like a password change.
