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.

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

"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Amazon Connect for the first time."
"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."
"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%."
"There is no technical experience needed to build it. It's easy for beginners to understand and use."
"The stability of the application and the services of Amazon Connect is very good, especially when it integrates with Lex, making the customer service solution more efficient."
"Amazon Connect is easy to learn."
"It integrates with major tools like Amazon Polly for text-to-speech and third-party services like Twilio and Cisco-based dialers."
"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
 

Cons

"There are issues on features like Lambda integrations and time-out"
"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 is room for improvement in certain areas of Amazon Connect. For example, regarding holiday scheduling, the platform lacks a specific feature to declare holidays for companies on fixed dates. While basic hours and weekly schedules can be set, there's no option for declaring specific dates like national holidays. Basic scheduling options exist, but users must rely on Lambda functions for more complex rules and logic."
"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 enterprises to get maximum use, we often need a dialer system. or example – you have a list of people to call, you load it, and the system automatically dials and connects you without having to manually dial each number. That's the kind of automated outbound dialing feature."
"However, the key thing lacking is the scope of out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, though overall it is very good."
"The technical support from AWS is average.It is average because not every time I find a solution."
"Due to network issues, the agent desktop might be affected. If the firewall blocks the agent's desktop, connectivity might be disrupted."
"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."
"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Amazon Connect has a pay-as-you-go model. But I have a slightly different perspective on it."
"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"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."
"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."
"The platform is expensive."
