User Testimonials
Cisco Unified Contact CenterDialpad Support
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend it to other people in my contact and business circle, but if I recommend it to someone who has certain difficulties in accessing some tools within Cisco, he may have great difficulty in getting help because of the support that is lacking in most of the times.

I think the Dialpad Support provides a great way to speed up calls being directed to the right department but also provides the added safety of detailed information so that calls are not lost in the shuffle. The ability to better educate new folks on how to route calls and take some of the note-taking about who is calling and why off their plate is great.

Cons
  • The Enterprise version Cisco Unified Contact Center has a lot of sunk cost involved and harder to support due to the expertise involved.
  • Licensing and ongoing support is also a huge undertaking. Licensing is hard to understand for Cisco in general. When you have created a certification for understanding Cisco Licensing maybe that is a hint to simplify your licensing instead.
  • The Express Unified Contact Center version is getting outdated and has capacity limitations. The Enterprise version is a huge undertaking to implement and get approved cost wise.

  • Waiting for Dialpad Ai which will never available in Japan
  • Never understand the call journey who hung up the phone
  • When PC shut down, agent should be Off duty but still Available and call rings.
  • Support chat use weird Japanese
  • Never provide update information beforehand which sometime make confusion and troubles that Google cloud platform made

if it is up to me I would maintain its use. I was not able to make those decisions previously.

I cannot think of one single reason we would stop using Dialpad. There has been too much positive feedback from our staff as well as the ease of use and training for new hires is big incentive to renew. We've looked at other VoIP products and price versus feature set is overwhelmingly in favor of continuing to use Dialpad.

Usability
Cisco Unified Contact Center is a scalable product . Can be used in amy organizational units not only the contact center . Can be used for many IT Helpdesk setups and any internal or external CC . We can use it to automate the outbound dialing as well for marketting and invoices and other use cases

It's a great tool for our department! We're still trying to figure out how to best utilize all of the capabilities and have not yet explored all it can do. So far, we love it, but know there's more it can do!

Support Rating
Cisco Unified Contact center is a very smart & reliable solution to go for. Its active-active sight base architecture and [customizable] features really help to deliver efficient customer service, enhanced next-gen experience, and uninterrupted operations. I believe every [organization] should opt for it if required.

Alternatives Considered
Similar I guess, however, I feel like Avaya was more suited for a contact center and allowed for all information to be in one place. The QA Forms were more flexible and easy to review. Predicative analysis was available to assist with scheduling and staffing. It was easier to manipulate and implement- I didn't need to go through 3 different parties to make a simply modification.

Dialpad is so much better than Sisco. Oh my, when I had to use that there were always major outages. At the time i worked for a phone company that was based off of commission so once Sisco when out, so did my money. It was so aggravating. I have never had a issue with Dialpad where my phone has gone completely out

Return on Investment
  • The removal of 4 disparate ACD systems within the environment and replacement of it with UCCE was a big positive in terms of ROI and decreases in support and maintenance costs.
  • The negative side is the cost of additional integrations from the Solutions Plus partners to take you beyond the out of the box capabilities.

  • The callback feature has saved clients a lot of hold time
  • The voicemail system has allowed cases to be handled properly by client's being able to leave a message for the proper agent
  • The Ai transcript feature has helped dozens of agents, as well as the company, avoid a lot of hassle, time, and lost money due to verifying conversations and information that normally would be much harder to confirm without it
