In a specific scenario in which I would not recommend it, it would be in a hospital, since the level of margin of error must be minimal, human lives are at risk and can cost dearly if Google cloud contact center AI fails, in the scenario in which I would recommend it, it would be in that of a legal company

It depends on your needs. If you only need simple call flows, consider using Cisco Webex Calling Auto-Attendant. If you require more complex call flows and time-of-day routing, you can utilize Cisco Webex Contact Center. You only have to purchase 1 Agent to use the Call Flow Designer.

Pros
  • Google Cloud Contact Center AI is based on the same foundation infrastructure and services as Google Assistant, therefore, it is robust and flexible. The APIs are very well built and documented as well. Any newbie can start using the service with a very little learning curve.
  • Seamless integrations are also a great add-on. Google makes sure that Contact Center AI service integrates well with leading customer service platforms which helps any user to use only the required functionalities from Contact Center AI and meanwhile use any other primary platform.
  • Robust documentation which is always alive and is updated within no time is of great help! Google makes sure its end customers know what to do where and when in clear plain text and any issues/ bugs are also documented.

  • Things that it does particularly well include a really good UX or UI so that our agents as well as our administrators, can easily provide remote access from agents, new agents, and old agents, manage interactions with customers, and have a good call experience from start to finish.
  • The uptime is a big selling point of Cisco.
  • I feel supposed by Cisco in terms of new features/functionality coming down the line.

Cons
  • It's still in the beginning phase of sentimental Analysis and more data sets can really help during tough conversations.
  • Automation can be made a little simpler and basic for anyone to be able to work on it.
  • Each instance of the software can have its own AI learning for a wider range of real time issues.

  • Better integration with Webex Calling.
  • More on premise features integrated into the cloud solution.
  • Better documentation for pebble templates.
  • Better information for changes and when new features are available. Instead of having to look on the what’s coming webpage alerts or a pop-up inside Webex control hub would be nice.

We are happy with the implementation and functionality of the software and associated systems. In general, unless something better can replace this system we intend on continuing. We think the ease of systems implementation and integration adds value and substantiates the use and excellent functionality of the product and associated services.

Usability
Generally intuitive and easy to learn. I would like more guides but the learning curve is rather quick and makes the software rather an easy study for the average user. Generally, the support and functionality of the software make for a generally good outcome and easy implementation of the software and user experience.

It is great to use Webex Contact Center as it delivers the call routing and workflow for agent and call routing. In addition to this the noise reduction helps to focus attention on the call and with the client. The notes feature and the ability for the transcription really helps with translation and language barriers.

Alternatives Considered
Google is a known product that many have used and we didn't see any other competitors having the edge that they do in their products. This is seen in their customer service when it comes to learning how to use the product and they have the resources to self-learn it.

  • No Capex required for this solution (which makes our CFO very happy)
  • Digital channels are builtin and therefore very easy to deploy
  • The built in CRM integration was missing features so we had to install a thirdparty connector which we had to pay for (and wasn't in our budget) in order to get the features which our business demanded
