Enables seamless integration with leading customer support platforms and offers reliable and scalable communication solutions
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.

Optimizing digital presence with customizable design and seamless integration
The main benefits that Liferay Digital Experience Platform brings to the table are numerous. First is rapid application development and many features. Features such as content management and document management make your life easy; workflow management is also present. Workflow can be designed and derived. Form development and everything is very smooth and easy to deliver to the end customer, and you can find many features in one box. You have blogs, wikis, and everything with out-of-box functionality. My experience with actionable insights is positive; they help in refining content strategies. The content creation is helpful. For external content creation, I use headless CMS APIs for Liferay Digital Experience Platform, and headless APIs for content creation are also available. My thoughts on the integration capabilities are that integration is seamless. You have headless APIs where you can integrate seamlessly with any other application such as LDAP or SSO, or you can also integrate with different external systems. You have an SAP connector; everything is available. Liferay Digital Experience Platform's open source flexibility has helped in customizing functionalities for the specific needs of my customers as it is a highly flexible application that can be optimized. My advice for other organizations considering Liferay Digital Experience Platform is that if it's available, we need to improve on the performance, which is currently what we are seeing. Otherwise, earlier Service Builder was acceptable. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Liferay Digital Experience Platform a 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Setting up a call center and onboarding agents is easy using Amazon Connect."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 solution reduces the overall cost of migration by approximately 50%."
"The stability of the application and the services of Amazon Connect is very good, especially when it integrates with Lex, making the customer service solution more efficient."
"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Amazon Connect for the first time."
"All the features that are provided by Liferay are very useful, such as Web Content, Document Library and Media, Roles, Permissioning, Resources, Organizations, Users, Sites, Custom Fields, Plugins, and so on."
"Considering the overall drive towards providing a digital experience to clients, to provide a connected experience, federated touchpoints, dynamic personalization, customer context and interactions, the product has evolved very strongly from just being a horizontal portal system into a digital experience platform."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"You can create and manage dozens of sites with a single installation of Liferay, without a single line of Java code."
"All the portlets and widgets are plugins, which provides flexibility to add or modify in multiple ways."
"The product has helped our members and communities to freely connect, share knowledge, develop initiatives and share expertise in a secure environment."
"CMS lets business users create and manage web content while maintaining revisions, and Liferay enables users to be independent of developers and to manage content within the portal."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"For a company with technical resources, it's a great tool. But for someone who wants a pre-packaged solution where everything is ready to use with some customization, it's a little more challenging."
"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."
"Support for that specific service for Amazon Connect is basically non-existent."
"Future improvements could include support for email as a channel."
"Staging and LARs export/import features. This is always a pain in Liferay with many errors caused mostly by some inconsistent data in the database."
"Support provided for the Enterprise Edition is really poor."
"For new installations, the setup is simple; but again migrations for the old version are a nightmare."
"Liferay requires more room to provide ease of use for the content contributors."
"Its SSL-based client authentication support needs to be improved."
"The current version is good, but one problem is with objects where the load takes much time if the records are increasing."
"I am having a hard time getting through the security scans."
"Documentation needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being the most affordable."
"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."
"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model."
"The tool is cheaper than on-premise contact centers."
"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."
"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."
"It is a bit expensive."
"It's an open-source structure. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive. What Liferay Digital Experience Platform offers at its current price can be considered something that is worth the money."
"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."
