RingCentral Contact Center is an AI-first contact center offers a set of cloud-based software plans with basic features including support for inbound and outbound call centers and IVR and ACD capabilities. Advanced features include analytics, real-time call reporting, workforce optimization analytics, and omni-channel integration with SMS, email, and social media platforms.
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.
I think RingCentral Contact Center could be well suited to any workplace. I think it does well in the reliability and ease of use departments, and that covers 90% of what you need from a phone system. The added modern integration benefits are the cherry on top! I'm not sure how the pricing model works, so maybe that would be the only limiting factor as far as scenarios where RingCentral Contact Center would not be as well suited.
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.
Reliability: Our previous service was prone to outages, RingCentral Contact Center has been rock solid as long as we've used it.
Integration: Our IT team was able to build a custom RingCentral Contact Center dashboard on our website for our salespeople to manage inbound/ outbound calling. From there we were able to send call data directly into activities in our ERP (Acumatica).
Ease of use: It works well whether in the office or WFH (which many employees do regularly.
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.
We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service
RingCentral Contact Center is not just only an app or platform which allows the company to manage the telephone calls, messaging functions, social media and emails, but also allows advanced features like the possibility of easy integration with other industrial systems, and customer/call analysis functions as well. It also supports and included with AI technology as well into some extent.
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.
RingCentral Contact Center is the easiest to use and understand. Its interface is more accessible and visually appealing than Microsoft Teams. It has the social/enjoyable aspect with the integration of emojis and gifs, but not to the seemingly comical level of Slack.
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 RingCentral Contact Center we were able to connect with our customers. The feature that allows the call to be sent to the first available rep ensured that this happened.
Also, my favorite feature is the call recording and transcription feature. This allowed me to get the customer's emails without asking them to repeat if I missed them the first time. Hence, happier customers and more meetings.
RingCentral Contact Center also made it very easy to set up a mailbox for customers to leave messages and reassure them that they've connected with the right person.
