John Ing - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder at The Independent User Group for Amazon Connect
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.

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

"Setting up a call center and onboarding agents is easy using Amazon Connect."
"The solution reduces the overall cost of migration by approximately 50%."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use and has no downtime. 99.9 percent of customers are happy with AWS cloud services. It is also easy to learn, but you need to practice daily."
"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."
"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Amazon Connect for the first time."
"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."
"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
 

Cons

"Due to network issues, the agent desktop might be affected. If the firewall blocks the agent's desktop, connectivity might be disrupted."
"We have faced many challenges with the solution's call quality that could be improved."
"However, the key thing lacking is the scope of out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, though overall it is very good."
"However, issues that involve other AWS services sometimes delay resolution."
"Support for Amazon Connect is adequate. I won't say it's exceptional about the support, but you can get assistance whenever it is needed."
"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."
"The product does not have any reporting dashboards."
"Amazon Connect should have a solution for customers who have heavily invested in previous CCaaS solutions; a proper roadmap could make it easier for customers to migrate over the platform."
"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 tool is cheaper than on-premise contact centers."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model."
"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 platform is expensive."
