Pros

  • Overall ease of use for administrators and agents
  • Comprehensive omnichannel support (SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger)
  • Precise and effective call routing capabilities

Cons

  • Shortcomings in reporting and analytics, especially for custom reports
  • Integration challenges with other UCaaS solutions and internal systems
  • Unintuitive digital call flow designer with a lack of formula examples

Webex Contact Center a great add-on to Webex Calling for complex call flows.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We migrated to Webex Calling and used the Auto-Attendant and it wasn't quite fitting our needs as we came from Unity Connections which had a lot more features, so we were suggested to use Webex Contact Center, not for the agent portion but for the IVR system, we could then use more granular time of day routing and get the call where it needed to go based on the time of day or night. I gave it an eight because it can be very complex to set up the call flows and you may struggle unless you have help.

Pros

  • Routing the calls to where they need to go.
  • Has decent Text to Speech.
  • Can be as complex as you want it to be.

Cons

  • More options in the Text to Speech area.
  • Better highlighting of the call flows so you can better follow when troubleshooting.
  • Unless already available, it would be great to have a test number to call into and have the call flow light up to indicate your current position in the flow.

Return on Investment

  • Being able to route the calls to the right people at the right time.
  • Our calls don't have to go straight to an on-call phone after hours.
  • Needing to outsource setup for more complex Call Flows.
