Aspect Unified IPNextiva Contact Center
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

We have over 50 locations and an in-house call center, so having a united platform to perform customer service duties is absolutely critical. Nextiva Contact Center is a very effective solution for large teams and multi-location businesses. If you need to regularly report on call volume and agent performance, it is extremely helpful. A very small team may not benefit from it as much as a medium to large scale one.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Nextiva allows you to set up the Contact Center to fit your exact needs.
  • The Contact Center has a consistency of quality. Dropped calls or interrupted calls are very rare. The voice quality is always great on both ends.
  • The Contact Center allows us to have a Call Center with 50+ numbers to assist our customers and attendees. At the same time, it allows us to have a main line for our Customer Support, Sales, etc...

Cons
  • The reports are very basic.
  • There may be a broader reporting line, perhaps with more detailed records.

  • I'd like to be able block numbers globally through the web portal rather than having it done through tech support.
  • Mobile app sometimes continues to ring even though the call has been picked up via the desktop app or physical phone.

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.

Outside of emails, Nextiva is the only way to contact our customers and their attendees, and the only way that they can contact us. We are a smaller company, but with Nextiva we can operate and manage our contact center easily no matter how much our company grows in the future. Nextiva is a versatile tool that can fit any need

Every single experience with the Nextiva Contact Center has been beyond amazing! The support team is always caring and kind, and they get the problem solved as soon as possible if needed. They always follow up to make sure the issue has been resolved. That's one of the reasons why I have been a customer for so long.

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.

It isn't just about clear calls- which they have in spades. The features on this platform are like little productivity cheerleaders. We can track calls, analyze performance, and even set up call routing so the right seller gets the right lead
