Featured Reviews

Ahmed  Helmy - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud simplifies deployment and expansion but needs more third-party options
If I wanted a single feature, the best feature is the fastest process for going live on the contact center features. Cisco Webex Contact Center also helps me avoid the headache of server configurations and management, as well as facilitating third-party integration like WhatsApp, which is much easier on the cloud. These aspects add value for my customers who opt for cloud contact center solutions, whether from Cisco or other competitors.
James Arvidson - PeerSpot reviewer
A software that enables centers to operate more efficiently, increase the quality of every customer interaction, create new pathways to profit, and ensure ongoing customer-centric business improvemen
One of the best aspects of CXone is its omnichannel experience. It treats all contacts, whether phone, chat, email, or SMS, through the same system, allowing for consistent reporting and a true omnichannel experience. The platform is very flexible. You can customize it to do almost anything as long as it's based on logic, which has been incredibly valuable. In terms of analytics, CXone offers consistent, accessible data across all channels. In the past, different systems like Avaya for phones or separate platforms for chat and email made it hard to compare performance across channels. With CXone, you get the same data points across all interactions, making decision-making much easier. It also allows for deeper reporting, like IVR reporting, where you can see what options people choose and create custom KPIs for better insight.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support for Cisco Webex Contact Center is high quality and I would rate it at least nine out of ten."
"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"The collaboration function is an important feature. The tool is used for telecommuting and distance communication. For example, you can use Webex if you have a global service or team that needs to collaborate online."
"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
 

Cons

"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"It is not straightforward for beginners but is very straightforward for those familiar with it. It can be a little complicated for those who have not worked on it before."
"When comparing Cisco to free collaboration tools like Google Meet and Teams, often included with Microsoft licenses, some clients, particularly those not in the enterprise sector, might prefer the free or more cost-effective options."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a cheap product, especially when compared to Microsoft Teams."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
