Rajni Kumar Jha

Senior Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Offers good reliability, works well for hybrid environment, totally managed by Amazon but needs to integrate third-party CRM tools like Salesforce

My recommendation depends on your exact requirements. It involves the following aspects: * What's the size of your operation? * What specific purposes do you have in mind? * Could you elaborate on how you intend to use it? For example, if I have a call center with 30 people, and I primarily want to use it for call center operations. I wouldn't recommend Avaya or Cisco. I'd suggest considering either Amazon Connect or Salesforce Service Cloud (voice services). For Amazon Connect, I'd rate it a seven out of ten. There are a few features they still need to improve, particularly with Customer Profiles and case management. If these features become as robust as Salesforce, then Amazon Connect could be a complete contact center solution without the need to integrate third-party CRM tools like Salesforce.

Has efficient automation features and the ability to integrate with multiple systems

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

"The product is cloud-based and easy to operate. We have a broad integration capability, allowing for a multitude of integrations. This gives our customers a good understanding of our product, even if they aren't actively utilizing it. They can easily access and utilize all the features that Amazon's cloud services offer, making integrating with other cloud platforms simpler. It's not a standalone solution, which is advantageous for our customers."

"The solution reduces the overall cost of migration by approximately 50%."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its simplicity and ease of use. Unlike other cloud contact centers, Amazon Connect allows easy drag-and-drop actions. Additionally, it integrates with other AWS services like Lambda."

"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."

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

"The Connect Lens feature most improves contact center efficiency by providing insights into customer journeys, behavior, and sentiment scores, allowing for areas of improvement to be identified and addressed."

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

"It integrates with major tools like Amazon Polly for text-to-speech and third-party services like Twilio and Cisco-based dialers."

More Amazon Connect pros

"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."

Cons

"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"

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

"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."

"Smaller organizations might prefer standalone products like Success KPI WFM or Genesys WFM. Adopting Amazon Connect necessitates using other AWS services, which could lead to higher-than-expected costs. So, the potential for unknowingly increased costs is a con."

"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."

"However, issues that involve other AWS services sometimes delay resolution."

"There are two perspectives to consider: one from the development side and the other from the customer's side. From a development standpoint, there are various aspects that Amazon needs to address, such as providing tools or direct development scenarios in Amazon Connect for building contact flows. Some essential reporting features in Genesys are currently lacking in the product."

More Amazon Connect cons

"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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