Enables seamless integration with leading customer support platforms and offers reliable and scalable communication solutions
The feature I find best about Amazon Connect, which is currently on trend, is the artificial intelligence. It helps us maintain continuity with the client. For instance, if a client calls for a ticket and calls again after three days, we can keep the same ticket or request to provide follow-up with the same agent or person. That is a valuable feature. Another important capability I discovered is that, from a technical perspective, you can select the caller ID in such a way that if one of your direct numbers fails, you can select another one to proceed with the calls. The system is not dependent on one calling number.

The initial setup is quite difficult for the latest versions from 2020 and beyond and can take about four to five hours. It can now be deployed on the cloud. Oracle offers the same images for on-premise and cloud deployments, making it easy to switch between the two. I created the docker image using VM and completed the setup in a few hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon Connect is an easy tool to use, and one of the big things is when you look at a customer's journey and how you want to present it, it all starts with what they call contact flows, which essentially is a flowchart that can be omnidirectional with a drag-and-drop process where it's building blocks of how you want the customer's journey to go."
"Amazon Connect enhances customer experience by reducing operating costs due to its cloud-based pay-as-you-go model."
"The solution reduces the overall cost of migration by approximately 50%."
"What I appreciate best about Amazon Connect is its simplicity; you can easily set up a contact center solution within a couple of hours, which is extremely beneficial."
"The most helpful feature of Amazon Connect is Lex Bot, which is an inbuilt AI chatbot; it is very easy to develop a chatbot and the voice bot solution on Amazon Connect."
"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Amazon Connect for the first time."
"Amazon recently launched a new service within Amazon Connect called Workforce Management (WFM). Only a few companies like NICE and Genesys offer comparable WFM solutions. Amazon Connect's WFM features are robust, allowing for agent scheduling, tracking their status (on call, on leave, on break, etc.)."
"The feature I find best about Amazon Connect, which is currently on trend, is the artificial intelligence; it helps us maintain continuity with the client—for instance, if a client calls for a ticket and calls again after three days, we can keep the same ticket or request to provide follow-up with the same agent or person."
"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
 

Cons

"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."
"One area for improvement with Amazon Connect lies in the cost structure, particularly for use cases involving smaller data volumes. While it's simple to establish communication channels, the pricing model may result in higher costs for such scenarios. This presents a challenge that organizations may encounter, especially if they aim to optimize efficiency while managing smaller data transfers."
"The technical support from AWS is average.It is average because not every time I find a solution."
"I consider that there are other applications that could accomplish the same tasks in an easier way, but the cost of the product is somewhat expensive."
"Amazon Connect could enhance its service by revising its pricing structure. It operates on a pay-for-call basis. This means that organizations whose call volumes fluctuate, or are heavy at specific times of the day or year, aren't burdened with fixed costs such as hardware liabilities and licenses."
"For a company with technical resources, it's a great tool. But for someone who wants a pre-packaged solution where everything is ready to use with some customization, it's a little more challenging."
"There are issues on features like Lambda integrations and time-out"
"Amazon Connect could benefit from having flow blocks that do that naturally without having another company behind it supporting it."
"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper than on-premise contact centers."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model."
"I can't speak for the pricing of other contact center solutions, but in terms of Amazon Connect, compared to other AWS products, it's one of the more expensive options. However, the cost can be low if you have a smaller team of agents or receive fewer calls. Pricing is typically based on a per-user basis."
"Amazon Connect has a pay-as-you-go model. But I have a slightly different perspective on it."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."
"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."
"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"The platform is expensive."
