Avaya Call Center Elite vs. Avaya Infinity™

The way Technology is expanding, Elite can be utilized and integrated into any environment as long as it keeps pace with the merging needs. I strongly recommend that there needs to be more innovation within the product to bring it back to where it was in the past.

The Avaya Infinity™ is well suited to allow remote working for call center agents. Staff can log in and work from anywhere using Chrome and their user credentials. The technical issues and lack of some features have caused some frustration for our staff and made it difficult to get buy-in for this product across all call center groups. This is difficult because a solution like this is intended to make their work more efficient as opposed to causing frustration.

• I think the reporting cause Elite does really good with reporting related to CMS and with the proper to-left knee programming. It performs well from a routing perspective. It will identify where the call needs to be routed to and it will cure it to that group pretty effectively. We've also found it to be relatively stable. You don't hear a lot of incidents about Call Center Elite going down. Sometimes it might be a database that might be having an issue or something else, but you never hear the call center has gone down or we can't route calls. You normally don't hear that. So it's been relatively stable.

• The app and the ability to use the "office" phone while on the road.
• There's an easy implementation and training process to get everyone on board quickly.
• Flexibility of transferring calls to different mediums - I can switch a phone call to a conference or patch in other parties with ease.

• I do feel that their support definitely needs a room for improvement. There is not a lot and I say that as in from the technology support side of it is the support definitely needs to be a lot better and that's because if we're running into troubles or issues, there's not a lot of help outside of when we go to Avaya to help fix it. We get a little down a bumpy road trying to get that fixed. The last time I was here, I worked up there.

• One are for improvement for Avaya is the ability to operate behind the VPN. For the virtual employee, this is an issue as we are unable to use it behind the VPN and it must be launched from the remote desktop.
• The color scheme could definitely use some updating. The charcoal gray background of Avaya's windows, coupled with the black font is not very contrasting. I have used Avaya for years and would love to see an update as to its color scheme to better fit the virtual employee.
• Avaya could also improve the way an employee moves within the program by titling the icons seen or expanding the Avaya window to allow for a better understanding of what each con does. For example, the Work History window would go unnoticed, had I not been playing with the software one day. These little items are unknown to many professionals in my industry as they sit in the window with no explanation.

I am really not the decision maker on this subject but given the cost of the investment in Avaya, I do not see the company not renewing the use of Avaya. The new licensing model no longer requires expensive upgrades to stay current with new features added to the system and really helps with the cost of investment.

Avaya is really a high-tech and feature-laden software that brings lots of automation to our business. Even from the first month, we have hit direct growth of 19% in our sales, and overall leads increased by 45%. So, for us, it has been a very useful software, and we are planning to use it for a longer duration.

I give it this rating because the support services of Avaya have proven to be reliable when needed. Great feedback for our queries has always been received from the support agents. 24/7 availability of support, which is very essential as our Call Center department also functions this way, therefore, the knowledge and technical support we require is always available to us.

No, everything was implemented by Avaya Support

I've used a C Experience portal, Contact Center Elite for Avaya Symposium, and Symposium Express for other manufacturers. I've used the Cisco solution for the Cisco. I believe the Contact Center Elite is the easiest of all the products for the enterprise industry and it's got the best user feel to be able to integrate it into your phone system

Switched from Polycom to Avaya, although polycom worked well there were too many reoccuring connectivity issues and the turn around time for solving them was also too long. Avaya has fewer connectivity problems and their support is much better too. Pricing wise they were similar so we didn't have much to lose.

• Once purchased and running, you don't need to worry about it for years.
• Support price is following the other companies. Price is good.
• When you need to upgrade it the cost can grow fast as most of the time you need to replace hardware.

• It does what we need it to do, so we don't heavily invest in this technology but rather into the manufacturing end of our business.
• We believe we have more than achieved the return on our investment for the Avaya phone system and associated equipment.
