Aspect Unified IP vs. Cisco Finesse

The system is very complicated for the initial installations in the servers, which
requires highly qualified personnel for the start-up. It cost me the installation at the beginning but I knew it would be worth it because the use of an administrative control of calls is important and more when you have many service providers.

I didn't personally hate working with Finesse as an end-user, but the frequent bugs and crashes were troublesome. While the frequency wasn't daily or weekly, it was enough to be memorable and difficult to work through. At times the software would crash across the board and take 15 minutes to recover, which pending call volumes, could be highly problematic. When it was working I had few issues or complaints.

• Integrates inbound and outbound call routing in one platform, allowing agents to work in a seamless blend mode between all call types (inbound, predictive, manual).
• Allows you to associate an account number with every agent phone call, the call type, and the reccording ID giving you the critical datapoints necessary to research, put together a customers experience from a telephony perspective, etc.
• Create agent templates to streamline agent setup reducing the potential for admins to configure an agent incorrectly, placing them in services they aren't skilled for and vice versa.

Aspect Unified IP is very competent to handle most customers' needs in the contact center and it delivers what is promised. The only negative aspect is the costs of services, maintenance and professional services, too expensive.

It is easy to use, but there are outages that affect the overall customer satisfaction. There were many times when we were unable to enter the call queues or even our direct lines because the system was not functioning properly. It was extremely easy to transfer people and that was a great function of the program.

We have hardly had any problems, but the attention provided when we need support has been very fast and effective

I have not spent any time recently doing a detailed analysis of other vendors to comfortably answer this question. I will say that the last time I checked, the ability to have all 3 call types (inbound,outbound,and manual) managed in one convenient seamless platform was not available which is very important to me.

I have not personally reviewed any other products, however I have used Teams calling and I prefer some features of each product over the other. For example, Teams is more reliable in terms of staying logged in and not having outages; however Cisco Finesse was easier to transfer people and there were less issues with people getting disconnected during the transfer.
