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

"What I like most is how well it integrates with other AWS services, the ease of implementation, and the robust partner network that supports it."
"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."
"Amazon Connect is an integrated solution, which is attractive because a customer doesn't have to worry about which product to buy; they buy one product and that gives them everything."
"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."
"In my experience, one of the tool's most valuable features is its ease of use. Setting up a contact center can be done in just a few minutes with a few clicks. This contrasts with the hours or days it might take using other solutions."
"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."
"The features I found most valuable include CloudFormation, which helps use multiple stacks to deploy the services and features we want, and CloudWatch, which is useful for troubleshooting and monitoring various aspects of the contact center solution."
"There is no technical experience needed to build it. It's easy for beginners to understand and use."
"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
 

Cons

"However, issues that involve other AWS services sometimes delay resolution."
"The technical support from AWS is average.It is average because not every time I find a solution."
"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."
"Future improvements could include support for email as a channel."
"I would like to see a cold transfer capability instead of only offering a warm transfer."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"Amazon Connect has a pay-as-you-go model. But I have a slightly different perspective on it."
"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The platform is expensive."
