Ahmed  Helmy - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud simplifies deployment and expansion but needs more third-party options
If I wanted a single feature, the best feature is the fastest process for going live on the contact center features. Cisco Webex Contact Center also helps me avoid the headache of server configurations and management, as well as facilitating third-party integration like WhatsApp, which is much easier on the cloud. These aspects add value for my customers who opt for cloud contact center solutions, whether from Cisco or other competitors.
Emily Aubele - PeerSpot reviewer
The functionality and efficiency have reduced our call wait times and support is unbelievably responsive
There are so many valuable features. One of the things that we really appreciate is the uptime. LinkLive rarely, if ever, goes down or disconnects calls. We appreciate that we don't have to be concerned about dropping calls or losing a customer mid-call as a result of those issues. It's also very easy to use. It's intuitive. We are able to easily transfer calls and get a customer to where they need to be if they have ended up in the wrong queue. We can also make changes to groups on the fly. The amount of self-service that you can do in the program is really helpful. In addition, all of your channels are within one interface. The other thing that's really nice is that now, there are two ways to access that interface. One is an app that's downloaded onto your machine, and another is via a URL. Depending on what you like, as an agent, you have those options. Both options do the same things. Our people who use the browser-based option love it. The single interface is really important because you don't want to have to jump all over the place or go from screen to screen. With everything in front of you, you can see it all. It allows the agent to work much more efficiently and effectively without having to look all over the place for what they need. When using that single interface to switch between modes on the fly, it's pretty seamless, in terms of supervisor-to-agent, agent-to-agent, and agent-to-customer communication. It's a one-stop shop. You can even work in multiple channels at the same time. You can handle a text and a chat, or a chat and a phone call, simultaneously. We also use the solution's AI quite a bit for our chat. The AI aspect is pretty important because it allows us to triage customers' needs without taking agent time. Using it, a customer can self-select. Plus, we find that a lot of our web users prefer a more anonymous contact for clarification of information they got while searching our website, which they now need more help with. The fact that we can translate that call from AI to a live agent is really helpful. By the time it gets to the live agent, there is a good sense of what the customer needs and what they're looking for. Our agent has more time to search for the needed resources, rather than gathering details about what the customer is looking for. It's a time-saver. It allows the customer to really identify what exactly it is they need and it does help answer some general questions that ultimately help us with customer eligibility. It measures all aspects of a call pretty well and we appreciate that. The dashboard we're currently using is a nice feature. I know that's being updated with workforce management, but the tool we currently use, the MMP (Measuring, Monitoring & Planning Portal) is fine for those quick reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The collaboration function is an important feature. The tool is used for telecommuting and distance communication. For example, you can use Webex if you have a global service or team that needs to collaborate online."
"The technical support for Cisco Webex Contact Center is high quality and I would rate it at least nine out of ten."
"Cisco technical support is outstanding."
"One of the primary features we use it for is the Agent Connect screen-sharing feature. I find it invaluable when troubleshooting customer problems with online banking. It saves us time, and time is money."
"LinkLive gives us a central location for our communication channels and that is very important. I can go back and see if someone has a complaint. Although our users are spread out, everything, all the conversations, is housed in one place. I can keep up with the conversations. The interface works wonderfully."
"Our agents find the authenticated session feature to be the most helpful. It can take 30 to 45 seconds to verify someone with verifying questions through digital banking, and we didn't have the capability of verifying questions through digital banking before LinkLive. This feature allowed us to work in partnership with our digital banking provider, who can see that a customer is within an authenticated digital banking session. They do not need to ask verifying questions again to ensure that the person is who they say they are. That is one of the nicest things for us, and especially for our agents."
"LinkLive makes us more progressive in terms of efficiency and productivity. It is just a better customer experience."
"The presentation of calls within the applications used to access conference call forwarding is straightforward and user-friendly."
"It's very reliable and we haven't had much experience with any downtime or dropped calls, which, of course, is one of the most important things to us. That's been a big win for us."
"Being the president of our organization, I love the secured email because there are a lot of messages that I have to send out that are secure. There have not been any issues with sending the messages or with individuals receiving and viewing them."
"There are so many valuable features. One of the things that we really appreciate is the uptime. LinkLive rarely, if ever, goes down or disconnects calls. We appreciate that we don't have to be concerned about dropping calls or losing a customer mid-call as a result of those issues."
 

Cons

"It is not straightforward for beginners but is very straightforward for those familiar with it. It can be a little complicated for those who have not worked on it before."
"When comparing Cisco to free collaboration tools like Google Meet and Teams, often included with Microsoft licenses, some clients, particularly those not in the enterprise sector, might prefer the free or more cost-effective options."
"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"Cisco Webex Contact Center needs more improvements, especially as they lagged behind initially in adopting cloud technologies."
"In the browser-based experience, I would love to see a hold button. Presently, you have to drag the hold music into a call and then drag it out. A hold button would really be easier, particularly if you have to put someone on hold multiple times."
"I would like to see more video conferencing, some degree of mobile apps, and artificial intelligence. That's the wave of the future with healthcare. Our providers are all on-the-go, so anything that allows them to remain mobile and not have to go to a desk to take a phone call, would be a good addition."
"The notifications for incoming chats could be a little more obvious. Our organization doesn't have a call center, so we don't have someone sitting at the computer waiting for a chat to come in. They're busy with other work."
"The initial enrollment of employees can be a little bit challenging. It tends to require the need to reach out to Link-Live support to iron out a bug or two."
"In our experience, the areas where there could be improvement are training, staff adoption, and getting the staff comfortable with utilizing the complexities of LinkLive, such as screen sharing."
"On the back-office side, it houses email addresses for when you look at the agent hunt groups. I can't use my work email address in my own online banking account because it messes up whether I'm an employee or a customer."
"I would like LinkLive to rework the notification system. There's an audible sound, and an alert pops up on the screen. However, in Microsoft Teams, an unviewed chat message appears red on my taskbar. That doesn't happen in LinkLive. My only enhancement request is to improve the notifications."
"Our agents have made some requests for some automated responses and some ways that they could improve the way those get pushed out. Right now, the way that canned responses are set up, they could be set up with as many responses as you want. However, the one thing that they liked from our previous providers is that you could categorize responses. So, if you have a certain area where you might have four or five responses related to one topic, then you could easily just click on the topic and see your responses. That is one area which is not a huge deal, but it gives back those five seconds that you are looking for a response to get more lengthy responses out to a customer. It would be nicer to have that a little bit more available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a cheap product, especially when compared to Microsoft Teams."
"You definitely get more bang for the money with LinkLive.You can get a more expensive product that does what this one does, and possibly more, but for the cost, it works perfectly with our core system."
"We have been very comfortable with the pricing. We are a smaller financial institution so pricing is always a factor. We feel that we are just getting a ton of value for what we are spending."
"The pricing is exceptionally competitive, and the value we receive from LinkLive for the cost is a significant advantage."
"The pricing is fair."
"In terms of cost, LinkLive was similar to other products. I find it reasonable. Its features, for the cost, were a better deal comparatively speaking."
