Cloud contact flows have unified omnichannel journeys and now support natural language self-service
To improve the reporting, it would be beneficial to provide better visualization of the data. Currently, you typically have to take the data out into another service to make it readable and understandable. It would be easier if it were available in that format from the start. Amazon Connect should continue to develop the AI capability within the platform and improve the performance of the AI features, as they are still relatively new and the performance can sometimes be inconsistent. Additionally, there are a number of basic features that could potentially be continued to be improved. The pricing and licensing of Amazon Connect are not licensed. The pricing is consumption-based with two pricing models: one called the AI pricing model and the other called basic. Amazon Connect should provide greater clarity for customers on the pros and cons of its pricing, as some customers might end up paying more than they should if they do not understand it properly. I believe Amazon Connect should add more information on how the pricing works. It is available publicly, which is good. However, when you turn on Amazon Connect, you immediately start using the AI pricing bundle, which may not be the most appropriate for some customers, resulting in them paying nearly twice as much as they should.

Automation has transformed invoice and bank processing but still needs faster setup and better integration
Automation Anywhere AI Agent could be improved in a few ways. Since I am currently working with Salesforce and I understand that to compete Automation Anywhere as a middleware product with Mulesoft or Informatica, the implementation phase needs to be quicker. The POC is always successful, but the implementation phase has to be quicker. The business needs to understand this better. Automation Anywhere should get into the business team and focus on explainability at the business level, not just a technical thing, but in the language or discussion where the business team can understand. There is clear business reasoning missing right now. The learning is strong within the process for sure, but there is limited reuse of learning across processes, which I think is very important. Simple model governance for business users is needed so that anyone should be able to use or create bots on Automation Anywhere. Right now, consultants and partners are needed in place. Additionally, Automation Anywhere should have native integrations with core platforms such as Oracle, SAPs, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. It should have out of the box integration rather than going for APIs because the deals which are not getting closed with Automation Anywhere or UIPath are purely because these organizations do not have out-of-the-box connectors available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"What I like most is how well it integrates with other AWS services, the ease of implementation, and the robust partner network that supports it."
"The features I found most valuable include CloudFormation, which helps use multiple stacks to deploy the services and features we want, and CloudWatch, which is useful for troubleshooting and monitoring various aspects of the contact center solution."
"Amazon Connect is really simple, straightforward, and very flexible."
"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Amazon Connect for the first time."
"The product is cloud-based and easy to operate. We have a broad integration capability, allowing for a multitude of integrations. This gives our customers a good understanding of our product, even if they aren't actively utilizing it. They can easily access and utilize all the features that Amazon's cloud services offer, making integrating with other cloud platforms simpler. It's not a standalone solution, which is advantageous for our customers."
"I feel Automation Anywhere AI Agent is better than Blue Prism in that specific context."
"Since all three benefits are achieved—accuracy, efficiency, and cost saving—the business impact and dollar impact is really high."
"By automating repetitive processes such as data entry, report generation, and transaction processing, I reduced manual effort significantly as tasks that earlier took hours now take minutes, resulting in clear time savings."
 

Cons

"The technical support from AWS is average.It is average because not every time I find a solution."
"The tool needs to improve its bandwidth. When multiple users use Lambda functions, there can be timeouts from the Lambda function due to coding constraints. If it times out, the Lambda function fails and switches to an alternative branch. Improving bandwidth could address this issue."
"There is room for improvement in certain areas of Amazon Connect. For example, regarding holiday scheduling, the platform lacks a specific feature to declare holidays for companies on fixed dates. While basic hours and weekly schedules can be set, there's no option for declaring specific dates like national holidays. Basic scheduling options exist, but users must rely on Lambda functions for more complex rules and logic."
"However, the key thing lacking is the scope of out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, though overall it is very good."
"We have faced many challenges with the solution's call quality that could be improved."
"Support for that specific service for Amazon Connect is basically non-existent."
"Support for Amazon Connect is adequate. I won't say it's exceptional about the support, but you can get assistance whenever it is needed."
"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."
"When considering weaknesses and improvements, the platform does not give us the liberty to use our own features where we can bring out creativity."
"The implementation cost even for a POC was very high, and that was a pain for all the customers."
"The OCR and document understanding of Automation Anywhere AI Agent still struggle with complex and unstructured formats such as invoices with multiple layouts, poor scan quality, or handwritten fields."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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 tool is cheaper than on-premise contact centers."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model."
"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."
"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."
"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."
