Rajni Kumar Jha - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good reliability, works well for hybrid environment, totally managed by Amazon but needs to integrate third-party CRM tools like Salesforce
My recommendation depends on your exact requirements. It involves the following aspects: * What's the size of your operation? * What specific purposes do you have in mind? * Could you elaborate on how you intend to use it? For example, if I have a call center with 30 people, and I primarily want to use it for call center operations. I wouldn't recommend Avaya or Cisco. I'd suggest considering either Amazon Connect or Salesforce Service Cloud (voice services). For Amazon Connect, I'd rate it a seven out of ten. There are a few features they still need to improve, particularly with Customer Profiles and case management. If these features become as robust as Salesforce, then Amazon Connect could be a complete contact center solution without the need to integrate third-party CRM tools like Salesforce.

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 easy to learn."
"Setting up a call center and onboarding agents is easy using Amazon Connect."
"In my experience, one of the tool's most valuable features is its ease of use. Setting up a contact center can be done in just a few minutes with a few clicks. This contrasts with the hours or days it might take using other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Amazon Connect for the first time."
"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."
"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 technical support services are good."
"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."
 

Cons

"Due to network issues, the agent desktop might be affected. If the firewall blocks the agent's desktop, connectivity might be disrupted."
"Future improvements could include support for email as a channel."
"We have faced many challenges with the solution's call quality that could be improved."
"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."
"The product does not have any reporting dashboards."
"Amazon Connect could enhance its service by revising its pricing structure. It operates on a pay-for-call basis. This means that organizations whose call volumes fluctuate, or are heavy at specific times of the day or year, aren't burdened with fixed costs such as hardware liabilities and licenses."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"I would like to see a cold transfer capability instead of only offering a warm transfer."
"The solution should be more flexible on-premises. We are currently on-premises and looking to move to the cloud."
"Its scalability means that it is not a simple 'install and forget' setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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