John Ing - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder at The Independent User Group for Amazon Connect
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.

Provides omnichannel AI features and has good routing capabilities
The routing capabilities are excellent. We have priority routing set up for VIP customers, disabled customers, and those with special needs, ensuring they receive prompt and efficient service. We have implemented a use case where AI helps when a customer calls and says, "My bill is high." The AI searches the customer's profile to check if the high consumption is real or just a misunderstanding. If it is high, the AI creates a notification for the backend to check the issue. The system automatically generates the bill and the notification for the agent, who then views and either submits or rejects the notification. I recommend using the solution for all the features I have mentioned before, including the excellent AI experience, omnichannel, self-service, and customer journey features. I rate it a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon Connect is an integrated solution, which is attractive because a customer doesn't have to worry about which product to buy; they buy one product and that gives them everything."
"The solution is easy to use and has no downtime. 99.9 percent of customers are happy with AWS cloud services. It is also easy to learn, but you need to practice daily."
"Amazon Connect is really simple, straightforward, and very flexible."
"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."
"There are a lot of features with Amazon Connect. One is the pay-as-you-go model. I don't have to buy any infrastructure or servers, licenses, or contracts. From a financial point of view, there's no upfront capital expenditure (capex) cost. Everything is pay-as-you-go."
"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."
"We utilize Amazon Connect to handle customer service interactions, particularly in projects where we provide professional services. For example, when developing an application, we typically set up EC2 instances on AWS. Then, to facilitate communication within our clients' internal networks, we establish connections through Amazon Connect."
"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."
"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."
"Avaya offers some of the most widely used (and therefore tested and improved) contact center solutions available."
"The technical support services are good."
 

Cons

"The product does not have any reporting dashboards."
"However, issues that involve other AWS services sometimes delay resolution."
"Due to network issues, the agent desktop might be affected. If the firewall blocks the agent's desktop, connectivity might be disrupted."
"Support for that specific service for Amazon Connect is basically non-existent."
"Amazon recently released a new feature called 'Customer Profiles.' It's intended to be similar to Salesforce. However, feature-wise, it isn't equivalent to Salesforce yet."
"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."
"Smaller organizations might prefer standalone products like Success KPI WFM or Genesys WFM. Adopting Amazon Connect necessitates using other AWS services, which could lead to higher-than-expected costs. So, the potential for unknowingly increased costs is a con."
"However, the key thing lacking is the scope of out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, though overall it is very good."
"The solution should be more flexible on-premises. We are currently on-premises and looking to move to the cloud."
"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
"Its scalability means that it is not a simple 'install and forget' setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper than on-premise contact centers."
"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."
"Amazon Connect has a pay-as-you-go model. But I have a slightly different perspective on it."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."
"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
