Cisco Unified Contact Center is very well suited for larger organizations with heavy call volumes, multiple departments, and widespread environments. It is less beneficial for smaller organizations that don't require large call volumes, detailed reporting, and emergency requirements. For example, a smaller dental office would probably not need the robustness of what the Cisco Unified Contact Center provides.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cisco Unified Contact Center is well suited for small-to-medium scale companies with their own data center. Companies with simple IVR needs will be suitable for this product. The high availability provides a good and simple add on for companies that want extra reliability at reasonable price.

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.

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.

Cisco is clearly the reason for our excellence in service. We are able to answer, make and transfer calls. Pause, resume, report agent service, and yes I would recommend it to my business colleagues.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. This makes it easier to take the contact of first priority first and move on to the second priority contact after finishing the first ones.

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.

In order to be able to understand historical data, contact trends, and call forecasts I need to manually compile data from various reports. With the Cisco Unified Contact Center, it’s hard to understand why calls can't be handled. Reporting and statistics are hard to analyze. I can’t forecast growth or staffing needs as I wish.

Cisco UCC is mostly used as a tool that allows us to gather information and feedback about both services we provide to our customers, and also allows us to maintain the service we provide by measuring the performance of our agents and making sure their knowledge is always up to date.

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.

In order to understand historical data, trends, and anticipated volume I need to manually piece together information from several different reports. [With Cisco Unified Contact Center it] is difficult for me to understand why calls were not handled (ie. agent availability, staffing, internal errors, complications, simply low volume, etc.) Reporting and statistics is difficult to analyze. I have trouble understanding trends. I can't anticipate growth or staffing needs.

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 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.
