I would recommend Nectar Desk if you are going to launch it across an entire organization. By launching for only one department, it has been extremely difficult to not have the connectivity we want across the entire company.

Perfect for companies that have agents all over the place, e.g., different offices or WFH. Also good for companies that aren't big enough to have a "phone guy" as this platform allows IT to do the phone work as it doesn't require esoteric knowledge like other phone systems.

Pros
  • Customizing Multiple Ring Groups: Allows for different call routing options depending on what phone number is dialed by a caller
  • Agent Login Tracking & Analytics: I can see minute by minute details of my team's login status and better understand how they're using their time
  • IVR Set Up: I can set up and edit/change IVR settings with the click of a few buttons, it's super easy!
  • Call History Tracking: I can easily filter and view all calls for the day to see what was inbound vs outbound, how many calls were handled by each agent, how many calls were missed, how many were outside of business hours, what the dispositions for each call were, and MORE. The Call History analytics are GREAT.

  • Customer service - Whether for sales, setup, or technical assistant, their team is always patient, informed, and helpful.
  • Cutting Edge - Every month there are a plethora of new or enhanced features that are well thought, tested, and ready for implementing.
  • Stability - Our uptime is important to our clients. As a 24/7 365 day/year contact center, having confidence that Zoom's systems are up and running means our clients have trust in our abilities to service their calls.

Cons
  • When a caller becomes assigned to an agent, SMS notifications are only sent to that agent. This is difficult for our call center manager to monitor if the team is handling all SMS replies efficiently and effectively.
  • Because Nectar Desk is a chrome-based calling software, we are limited in accessing the platform. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this presented a challenge in making sure that all agents' at-home computers were capable of running the software.

  • The Teams dashboard for monitoring agents needs some customization options.
  • Friendly names, I would like to be able to name a number and when it rings you can see the name of the number.
  • Point flows at flows would be nice, instead of flows to queues only.

Usability
No answers on this topic
First and foremost for our results, the omnichannel approach and ease of use on the internal side (agents, supervisors and administrators) have made adoption very simple, we have managed to reduce response times (SLA) and internal communication has become very fluid. We get good feedback from our clients for having implemented ZCC in the company to serve them.

Microsoft Teams was very difficult. Many third-party providers didn't understand the integration and capabilities of the systems. The Teams app is very clunky, and you can get very different capabilities and compatibility when using it between Mac and PC environments. Zoom had a local team that could help with the transition directly, which is very valuable

Return on Investment
  • As the marketing agency that implemented this software for a client, we have 100% insight into call performance. Our client previously throughout random numbers, was always guessing on his team's performance, and now we have actual insight into how the intake team is truly performing—we know 100% of the inbound calls they make, how many outbound calls are made in a day, and how much time is spent 'idle'. This has allowed our client to hire the appropriate number of call center staff based on actual data and has allowed us to shift our marketing budget to focus on driving the right callers.

  • Intuitive, Easier and almost effortless to maintain.
  • Lesser Operational Expenses that the alternative we also have
  • We wish it has a better integration with Zoom Phone, in terms of channels integration (Voice and Chat) to quick identify callers.
  • It is missing "modular" programming to "reuse" Existing Flows and call them from other flows then return to the main flow.
  • It is missing the capability to compartmentalizing different teams/groups related to reporting, admin, and global parameters.
