Automated outreach has streamlined user off‑boarding and ensures fast, compliant fund withdrawals
There may be improvements around agent management. Recently, I heard that Acqueon significantly upgraded how it calculates agent availability in the UI. Previously, the system only looked at agents who were completely idle before dialing. The vast improvement is in the agent systems, which they have already made, so I don't think there is anything to add in that area. The dashboard could improve because it was a bit rigid. Whenever my operational team needed to create a unique minute or hourly performance view during our critical time, we had to rely on complex custom data filters, which slowed down immediate decision-making.

The feature I find best about Amazon Connect, which is currently on trend, is the artificial intelligence. It helps us maintain continuity with the client. For instance, if a client calls for a ticket and calls again after three days, we can keep the same ticket or request to provide follow-up with the same agent or person. That is a valuable feature. Another important capability I discovered is that, from a technical perspective, you can select the caller ID in such a way that if one of your direct numbers fails, you can select another one to proceed with the calls. The system is not dependent on one calling number.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect positively impacts my organization by automating the campaign and the sending of emails and pop-up messages based on the status of the customers who have not obtained a debit card, and I see a benefit for my team as it was not necessary to keep track or manually do work, which was automated by Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect."
"With Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect, it was only one percent of that staffing need and we completed off-boarding within six months, whereas otherwise it might have easily taken us two to three years, really saving us a lot of money and making it worth the investment."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its simplicity and ease of use. Unlike other cloud contact centers, Amazon Connect allows easy drag-and-drop actions. Additionally, it integrates with other AWS services like Lambda."
"The best thing about Amazon Connect is that it has everything we need in one place. With other products, we might have to get different tools for different jobs, like recording calls. However, with the tool, it's all there together. Plus, it's cheaper than other options."
"Amazon recently launched a new service within Amazon Connect called Workforce Management (WFM). Only a few companies like NICE and Genesys offer comparable WFM solutions. Amazon Connect's WFM features are robust, allowing for agent scheduling, tracking their status (on call, on leave, on break, etc.)."
"The most helpful feature of Amazon Connect is Lex Bot, which is an inbuilt AI chatbot; it is very easy to develop a chatbot and the voice bot solution on Amazon Connect."
"Amazon Connect is really simple, straightforward, and very flexible."
"One of the key values is that it operates on a pay-as-you-go platform model, is cloud-native, multi-channel, has good analytical capability and reporting, is a stable platform, and is receiving huge investment from AWS."
"What I appreciate best about Amazon Connect is its simplicity; you can easily set up a contact center solution within a couple of hours, which is extremely beneficial."
"The Connect Lens feature most improves contact center efficiency by providing insights into customer journeys, behavior, and sentiment scores, allowing for areas of improvement to be identified and addressed."
 

Cons

"I think Acqueon Engagement for Amazon Connect can be improved by making the user interface easier to read."
"There are two perspectives to consider: one from the development side and the other from the customer's side. From a development standpoint, there are various aspects that Amazon needs to address, such as providing tools or direct development scenarios in Amazon Connect for building contact flows. Some essential reporting features in Genesys are currently lacking in the product."
"One area for improvement with Amazon Connect lies in the cost structure, particularly for use cases involving smaller data volumes. While it's simple to establish communication channels, the pricing model may result in higher costs for such scenarios. This presents a challenge that organizations may encounter, especially if they aim to optimize efficiency while managing smaller data transfers."
"The technical support from AWS is average.It is average because not every time I find a solution."
"Amazon Connect could benefit from having flow blocks that do that naturally without having another company behind it supporting it."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"There are issues on features like Lambda integrations and time-out"
"Amazon Connect should have a solution for customers who have heavily invested in previous CCaaS solutions; a proper roadmap could make it easier for customers to migrate over the platform."
"I consider that there are other applications that could accomplish the same tasks in an easier way, but the cost of the product is somewhat expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I can't speak for the pricing of other contact center solutions, but in terms of Amazon Connect, compared to other AWS products, it's one of the more expensive options. However, the cost can be low if you have a smaller team of agents or receive fewer calls. Pricing is typically based on a per-user basis."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."
"The tool is cheaper than on-premise contact centers."
"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."
"Amazon Connect has a pay-as-you-go model. But I have a slightly different perspective on it."
"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."
