Bright Pattern Contact Center vs. Vonage Contact Center

Bright Pattern has been fantastic in allowing us to automate voice and chat contacts, and we're currently building out scenarios that will allow us to automate even more. It's super simple to collect data from customers, and using some API calls provides the answers they're looking for without a human needing to get involved. There is less functionality currently for emails. Emails can be routed to queues based on keywords, and auto-replies can be sent, but it's pretty basic functionality. We'd love to see some of the enhanced capabilities offered in voice and chat scenarios for email.

If an organiziation was fully on Salesforce and rely on that type of routing, I would recommend Vonage to them. They would also need a good support system to be able to build/maintain and manage it as well. If they do not need this or have the bandwidth, I would not recommend this product at all. They also struggled with our billing and could not tell us what they were charging for

• Texting issue - I am experiencing a texting issue where a small number of messages are not being delivered. Out of every 100 texts I send, about 4 or 5 fail to deliver. I am not sure what the cause is, but overall, I am satisfied with the service.

Es una plataforma confiable, en la que ya tengo bastante tiempo utilizando y conociendola. Entonces me siento confiada en volver a utilizarla dentro de la empresa e igual que al ofrecer a mis clientes internos y externos, además con el roadmap que nos brindan estoy segura que seguirá innovando cada vez

It's pretty simple for agents to pick up quickly, it takes a bit longer for supervisors to get familiar with. QA tools are pretty barebones but functional enough. It can be as simple or complex as you need it to be, if you spend some time configuring the settings or working with Bright Pattern's support team to build out what you need.

I have used other similar tool in past but I feel Vonage Contact Center is the best one so far.

It is always on. The only outage to date that I have experienced was with an upstream telco provider a few years ago. The inbound leg telco was hit by a DDOS attack which led to delays in routing calls to the platform. This was not the fault of the Bright Pattern platform but the telco provider. We have had a few minor carrier issues with call quality, or a handful of brief drops, but Bright Pattern is quick to identify these and change carriers when it starts to happen.

All pages load when expected, and reports render either in the web browser or as a download. I never really have issues with accessing the admin or agent desktop sites. It just works.

Although we have only had 1 very short outage in our 4 years of service. Bright Pattern support was easy to contact and solved our sisue very quickly as well as provided more than adequate information on an RCA (Root Cause Analysis) for our clients

I have personally not used their support, but I hear from our admin that it is good.

In-person and virtual training was great, but Bright Pattern could use some online training videos similar to other platforms. I would welcome online training videos to keep the steady flow of new agents up to date. Admin training is one of the largest areas that need video. The static documentation is great. It is pretty easy to follow and configure your contact center as you progress through each step. The documentation is available online on an easy to use knowledgebase or wiki style site. You do not need a user account to access the help docs, meaning that users at any level can freely access the materials to learn about the platform.

Online training is documentation based only. It is thorough and step by step, but no videos. It would also be helpful to have more information within the help docs on custom reporting. I find that many of the Bright Pattern specific configurations for the Jasper Reporting Server have to be "stumbled" across through existing report templates and they are not clearly listed out somewhere. In person training will not generally go into great depth on report customizations.

As an implementor, I have found the Bright Pattern Contact Center very easy to work with. The platform operates in the manner which I think. Therefore, everything I do seems logical and works exactly as expected. Many solutions are much more difficult to work with and make implementations difficult

As a contact centre technology vendor we have experience of many different contact centre platforms. We chose Bright Pattern Contact Center because its the best omni-channel contact centre we've ever seen, it's incredibly reliable, its hosted in-country, it has the Microsoft integrations many of our customers want, we can integrate with virtually any CRM or ITSM system and the platform offers a vast feature set.

Noble was the outgoing system. If you are in the UK, then you find that there is little support from the US function for any challenges you face. It feels like Noble is aware of Salesforce, however it doesn't really integrate with Salesforce. Natterbox also looked like a good product, however I feel they are a little while off being on the same level as New Voice Media. It's worth throwing them in the mix with any consideration though.

• We saved customers between 30% - 40% of the cost of their current omnichannel contact center solutions when we implemented Bright Pattern Contact Center
• Very quick to implement so we are able to service more customers with same number of staff

• It really put a hold on our move off our PBX. Too many issues with the first group, we had to re-evaluate and pick another solution
• A lot of lost time in employee productivity and not as efficient on their own
• Did improve inbound calling to the toll free with optimal routing for customers
