User Testimonials
Avaya Call Center EliteCloudTalk
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it's well suited for voice-only contact centers, small or large, specifically large contact centers because Avaya's been doing contact center and routing for years and they do it well. I think that it could be better in terms of ease of customization. You really have to know vectors and VDMs in order to manipulate some things and do some customized things. You need some specialized knowledge for that. So I think that that could be made easier. But call center lead has been a standard for a lot of companies for a long time and they do call routing pretty well.

Cloudtalk is by far the best value-for-price software out there for call center solutions. Packed with features, very accessible, kind and accessible customer support, and cheap, especially when compared with their competitors for the same range of features. Easy entry-level software, especially if you're a startup that doesn't want to make big initial commitments but needs a solution that scales with the business.

Pros
  • The product addresses how our customers can reach us efficiently by skill-based. They can reach the right group of people. We have products that support callbacks and so I think we're trying to make it easier for our customers. So I think that's what the product does.

  • Very easy to setup and configure. It took literally a few minutes to start making our first calls.
  • Integrates with many CRM systems. We've connected with Zendesk for calls and texts to generate tickets automatically.
  • Great selection of virtual numbers for international calls.
  • Great customer support team with quick replies.
  • Call quality is generally good, especially for the price.

Cons
  • I think the biggest room for improvement in Call Center Elite is excellent with voice. But we have other channels such as email, and chat, and one of the reasons why we're bringing in Oceania is to fill that gap to provide customers with options no matter how they contact us, voice, email, or chat, they're serviced effectively. So that's the biggest gap right now and that's why we have a project to help fill that gap and to add AI functionality. It's good that Avaya has relationships with companies like Google because they're able to bring AI to the table like Google CC, AI, and Dialogue Flow. They're able to bring that to the table so we can leverage our investment in Lead and add on to it.

  • A lot of features are still missing, some of which are pretty basic like being able to select multiple filters instead of one.
  • Desktop app has had some instability issue.
  • IVR needs to be self-recorded which can lead to a lower quality.

They are skilled, experienced, and anytime I need something and contact the support time, I get the right person who understands my needs and reacts to them accordingly. So far I was only pleasantly surprised by the level of support these guys provide and coming from a customer service oriented background myself, I can only say keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job!

Alternatives Considered
When it comes to the core, the products in the market are similar. What is different is the bells and whistles and backend plumbing. One of the key criteria that we chose Elite was that we were using Avaya in the past, and system stability was excellent, plus the user experience remained consistent.

It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before.

Return on Investment
  • It's done everything we've expected it to do and we've been able to tailor it some to benefit us better from getting KPIs to being able to connect to everything that we need. There is a way to do it all and so it's been a lifesaver and it's just been a great product to be able to work with.

  • With helping us gain a US number, it's made us able to call candidates and clients which we've completed multiple deals
  • Being able to integrate CloudTalk with Salesforce, saves us a lot of time typing in numbers individually in which we can make more calls
