Cloud contact flows have unified omnichannel journeys and now support natural language self-service

To improve the reporting, it would be beneficial to provide better visualization of the data. Currently, you typically have to take the data out into another service to make it readable and understandable. It would be easier if it were available in that format from the start. Amazon Connect should continue to develop the AI capability within the platform and improve the performance of the AI features, as they are still relatively new and the performance can sometimes be inconsistent. Additionally, there are a number of basic features that could potentially be continued to be improved. The pricing and licensing of Amazon Connect are not licensed. The pricing is consumption-based with two pricing models: one called the AI pricing model and the other called basic. Amazon Connect should provide greater clarity for customers on the pros and cons of its pricing, as some customers might end up paying more than they should if they do not understand it properly. I believe Amazon Connect should add more information on how the pricing works. It is available publicly, which is good. However, when you turn on Amazon Connect, you immediately start using the AI pricing bundle, which may not be the most appropriate for some customers, resulting in them paying nearly twice as much as they should.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing about Amazon Connect is that it has everything we need in one place. With other products, we might have to get different tools for different jobs, like recording calls. However, with the tool, it's all there together. Plus, it's cheaper than other options."

"There are a lot of features with Amazon Connect. One is the pay-as-you-go model. I don't have to buy any infrastructure or servers, licenses, or contracts. From a financial point of view, there's no upfront capital expenditure (capex) cost. Everything is pay-as-you-go."

"We utilize Amazon Connect to handle customer service interactions, particularly in projects where we provide professional services. For example, when developing an application, we typically set up EC2 instances on AWS. Then, to facilitate communication within our clients' internal networks, we establish connections through Amazon Connect."

"Setting up a call center and onboarding agents is easy using Amazon Connect."

"Amazon Connect is really simple, straightforward, and very flexible."

"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Amazon Connect for the first time."

"Amazon Connect enhances customer experience by reducing operating costs due to its cloud-based pay-as-you-go model."

"Amazon Connect is easy to learn."

More Amazon Connect pros

"Contentstack is a great tool; the service helped us stay on track with our headless launch and deliver on time, and we are beyond happy with the service provided and still being provided."

"Overall, we are really happy with Contentstack as it has made our content work faster, easier, and more organized."

"Contentstack has positively impacted our organization, as tracking changes made by our very large team is difficult, so we are using Contentstack to update data in real-time."

"Contentstack has impacted my organization positively by helping us to deliver an application with a very good quality in terms of how it looks and feels."

"The best feature Contentstack offers is that it is easy to use."

"Contentstack has positively impacted my organization because we can work with massive product SKUs, and we can now quickly use or reuse components, add products, and do bulk updates."

"The ease of use, which I mentioned as the best part, is especially highlighted by the clean UI and predictable UX of Contentstack, as there is not too much information on the screen at the same time that can confuse the users."

"The speed index has had a great impact; earlier we had something in the 60s on Google Page Insights, but now we are able to achieve 90-plus."

Cons

"The scalability needs improvement."

"The technical support from AWS is average.It is average because not every time I find a solution."

"Amazon Connect could benefit from having flow blocks that do that naturally without having another company behind it supporting it."

"Amazon Connect should enhance its native agent desktop. Intuitive UI should be present for the agent desktop. Currently, it forces users to rely on third-party CRM integrations. Predominantly, there is no support for full-fledged customization for the native agent desktop. More customization options for the native desktop would be beneficial."

"We have faced many challenges with the solution's call quality that could be improved."

"The product does not have any reporting dashboards."

"There may be room for security improvement, especially since data is stored in the cloud. While cloud security measures are robust, there may be concerns about data safety compared to traditional server setups."

"Amazon recently released a new feature called 'Customer Profiles.' It's intended to be similar to Salesforce. However, feature-wise, it isn't equivalent to Salesforce yet."

More Amazon Connect cons

"I think Contentstack can be improved with a more appealing user design because it seems too bland."

"Contentstack is much more complex and advanced technology. I think there are still some UI improvements which can be done to simplify the work."

"I noticed that sometimes it takes time, and I am not sure about the server side, as it may not be responding."

"While Contentstack has great features, it is a bit expensive, and there is a learning curve involved for complex content models."

"It is good, but not great. For something like eighty percent of my set of tasks, I can scale based on the background we have with Contentstack."

"The API, specifically the Content Delivery API, can be a bit tricky sometimes."

"For improvement, I want to clear the cache for the pages, as Contentstack does not provide a default way of invalidating the cache."

"We are more worried about the pricing. For example, somebody who is a tech person trying to integrate based on the events finds it a little bit more not so accessible."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper than on-premise contact centers."

"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."

"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."

"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."

"Amazon Connect has a pay-as-you-go model. But I have a slightly different perspective on it."

"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model."
