Cisco UCCE is still the leader, but for how long?
Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Unified Contact Center
Our organization uses the Cisco UCCE product mainly in Lab configurations as a means to test out new features, perform AppDev on our offerings, perform POC or demos for clients, and/or to replicate a problem that a client may be experiencing.
Cisco UCCE is a full Omni-Channel capable routing platform that works with several industry third party applications to provide a robust and rich customer experience.
- Provides a great cradle-to-grave reporting capability of a customer journey through the Customer Contact Center.
- Integrations with numerous third-party vendors providing the end-user several choices in vendors offering similar offerings.
- The User community is vast, yet tight knit and collaborative spirited.
- Documentation set is vast
- Reliable once installed correctly and patched regularly.
- After 25+ years, the product still requires experienced and highly skilled engineers to deploy the product properly per Cisco Best Practice guidelines.
- Third-party integrations are also very cumbersome and require highly skilled and experienced engineers and significant time and financial investment to deploy.
- Upgrading the product is cumbersome and requires Cisco ATP or Cisco AS which is time consuming and very expensive.
- Without our Lab we would not be able to maintain our Partnership and Certification statuses with Cisco so the ROI is monstrous for our organization.
I am typically post RFP and selection process, but clients that have selected UCCE over the competitors are the clients that are not quite ready to embrace cloud or SAAS solutions, or they have selected Cisco due to reputation and long-term stability suitability.
Clients want to know that the vendor they selected will continue to invest heavily in features and functionality improvements as well as maintain a viability in the marketplace.
