Reliable customer communication and good third-party integrations with minor server update issues

Cisco supports third-party gadgets, including workforce management systems. These can be directly integrated with Cisco, a feature not widely supported by other contact centers. Additionally, redundancy is set up, meaning if one side of the server goes down, the other side will take over to prevent the contact center from completely failing.

The server itself does load balancing however building a fail-over for it is difficult

The server itself does load balancing however the most difficult thing I found was building a fail-over for it. However, if you want to build a fail-over for it that's the tricky part since most sip traffic is routed using UDP. There are plenty of amazing TCP load balancers out there such as HAProxy but none for UDP. You need to use something like Keepalive and fail-over IP and restart the server on fail-over
