Aspect Unified IPWebex 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.

It depends on your needs. If you only need simple call flows, consider using Cisco Webex Calling Auto-Attendant. If you require more complex call flows and time-of-day routing, you can utilize Cisco Webex Contact Center. You only have to purchase 1 Agent to use the Call Flow Designer.

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.

  • Things that it does particularly well include a really good UX or UI so that our agents as well as our administrators, can easily provide remote access from agents, new agents, and old agents, manage interactions with customers, and have a good call experience from start to finish.
  • The uptime is a big selling point of Cisco.
  • I feel supposed by Cisco in terms of new features/functionality coming down the line.

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

  • Better integration with Webex Calling.
  • More on premise features integrated into the cloud solution.
  • Better documentation for pebble templates.
  • Better information for changes and when new features are available. Instead of having to look on the what’s coming webpage alerts or a pop-up inside Webex control hub would be nice.

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.

We are happy with the product, with Cisco as a partner and the roadmap looks mightily impressive. Webex Contact Center is one of our growth areas so we're keen to get more agents on the platform, we want to get more customers on it and we want to make use of all the features and functionalities it offers, so that we can help our customers do what they do best.

It is great to use Webex Contact Center as it delivers the call routing and workflow for agent and call routing. In addition to this the noise reduction helps to focus attention on the call and with the client. The notes feature and the ability for the transcription really helps with translation and language barriers.

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.

Webex Contact Center works great in conjunction with the above product to produce a better system from businesses and more options to reach the maximum number of clients to make the business thrive. It makes it easier to reach all generations and remove any limitation or obstetrical and makes the business have a better chance of success.

Return on Investment
  • Aspect Unified IP has been a great investment for us, and we have been their customers for 10 years now
  • Aspect is important for us in delivering WOW experiences for our customers

  • No Capex required for this solution (which makes our CFO very happy)
  • Digital channels are builtin and therefore very easy to deploy
  • The built in CRM integration was missing features so we had to install a thirdparty connector which we had to pay for (and wasn't in our budget) in order to get the features which our business demanded
