Rayyan Saeed - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-priced product that offers great scalability options
With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option. On Microsoft Teams, I can share the whole screen with the person I am meeting with and see every folder on the desktop. With Cisco Webex Contact Center, only one screen works when I try to share the screen, making it the area where improvements are required. With Cisco Webex Contact Center, when I use the screen's sharing capabilities, I am stuck on one tab and can't view everything at once.
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

"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"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."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"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."
"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."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
 

Cons

"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."
"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"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."
"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."
"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."
