AA
IT Manager at Namchow (Thailand) Ltd.
Global communication has improved customer meetings but remains costly and limited in reach
The most valuable features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are that both software platforms are the same, with only the video conference being different. The quality is acceptable for our needs. The benefits I have seen from using Cisco Webex Contact Center are that it is easy to contact customers and easy to open issues regarding hardware problems.

Omnichannel features have unified journeys and AI now speeds up responses for our agents
NICE CXone is a good feature, but it is expensive and costlier than other products such as Genesis or other alternatives. When it comes to solutioning, there are too many SKUs, which are line items or components that could have been bundled together. For example, CXone agent licenses do not include QM in the basic packages, whereas in the Genesis world it is bundled. The price comparison is higher compared to Genesis or other platforms. I have been using Genesis for three to four years across multiple customers, and now that NICE CXone has become available, I have started comparing all the features and benefits. I find there are some gaps, with more features available but at a higher cost for NICE. Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment of NICE CXone, the main challenge is working with the NICE team. The speed of onboarding is lengthy and people-dependent initially. When comparing with other OEMs and CCaaS products, the UI interface and partner portal have multiple access points. I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location. There is room for improvement in this area, though gradually NICE can change this approach.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"Cisco technical support is outstanding."
"The technical support for Cisco Webex Contact Center is high quality and I would rate it at least nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are that both software platforms are the same, with only the video conference being different, the quality is acceptable for our needs, and it is easy to contact customers and easy to open issues regarding hardware problems."
"The best features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are the ease of use, and while the platform has pretty standard features, it is definitely easy to use, and the impact of the omnichannel communication on customer experience consistency is quite good."
"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"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."
"NICE CXone has had a HUGE impact on our contact center, taking us from a place where we had no visualization on contact volumes, handle times, ASA, etc. to a place where we have full visualization on all metrics and can manage and staff our center as necessary."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."
"I assess the impact of the omnichannel capabilities on customer journey consistency as excellent, as it is a single pane of glass solution where all channels and omnichannel features are available, which is very supportive and increases customer productivity overall."
"I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard."
"It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG."
"If you are wondering if you or your company should use NICE inContact, I would suggest reaching out to them and asking for a demonstration."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
 

Cons

"Cisco Webex Contact Center needs more improvements, especially as they lagged behind initially in adopting cloud technologies."
"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."
"When we deal with them, there is sometimes a lot of back and forth due to our unique requirements, as nobody is perfect."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is limited in that it cannot scale out effectively. This is why I have attempted to use Microsoft Teams to achieve greater scalability than Cisco Webex because I believe Cisco Webex is very expensive."
"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"InContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown."
"Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"I think that there could be improvements in the actual structuring and formatting of content, i.e., when creating topics and guides in MindTouch."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a cheap product, especially when compared to Microsoft Teams."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
