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

"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 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."
"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."
"Amazon Connect has positively impacted our organization because we used to have manual processing to gather more information and then create the summary, which takes time for our customers, but now it's a plug-in solution, and this summary is very helpful for us to review and settle the claim early."
"There is no technical experience needed to build it. It's easy for beginners to understand and use."
"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."
"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.)."
"It integrates with major tools like Amazon Polly for text-to-speech and third-party services like Twilio and Cisco-based dialers."
More Amazon Connect pros
"All the portlets and widgets are plugins, which provides flexibility to add or modify in multiple ways."
"It's an enterprise-level solution that is ready to use almost immediately and users can immediately share and collaborate once they've installed the application."
"Liferay is highly scalable and more complex than Drupal."
"As of now, the technology is up-to-date and fulfills all essential requirements."
"Compared to other big players in portal platforms, Liferay's pricing is very competitive, and remember, the latest version of Liferay is not just a portal framework, but it is a digital experience platform which offers way more."
"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."
"Liferay Digital Experience Platform has helped us optimize our digital presence and deliver rapid application development, every customer is happy, and they are giving us repeat orders for whatever we have delivered on Liferay Digital Experience Platform."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
More Liferay Digital Experience Platform pros
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"However, issues that involve other AWS services sometimes delay resolution."
"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."
"Amazon Connect should enhance its native agent desktop. Intuitive UI should be present for the agent desktop. Currently, it forces users to rely on third-party CRM integrations. Predominantly, there is no support for full-fledged customization for the native agent desktop. More customization options for the native desktop would be beneficial."
"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."
"For enterprises to get maximum use, we often need a dialer system. or example – you have a list of people to call, you load it, and the system automatically dials and connects you without having to manually dial each number. That's the kind of automated outbound dialing feature."
More Amazon Connect cons
"Documentation needs improvement."
"The front-end technologies need improvement."
"Documentation for the newly launched version is not up to the mark."
"The current version is good, but one problem is with objects where the load takes much time if the records are increasing."
"The development license might be too costly for small to medium-sized businesses."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"As it is open source, it has lots of features and it is constantly updating. Therefore, bugs also keep coming."
"The loading speed could be improved."
More Liferay Digital Experience Platform cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."
"The tool is cheaper than on-premise contact centers."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."
"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."
"Amazon Connect has a pay-as-you-go model. But I have a slightly different perspective on it."
More Amazon Connect pricing and cost advice
"It's an open-source structure. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems."
"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."
"It is a bit 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."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
