Has efficient automation features and the ability to integrate with multiple systems

The initial setup is quite difficult for the latest versions from 2020 and beyond and can take about four to five hours. It can now be deployed on the cloud. Oracle offers the same images for on-premise and cloud deployments, making it easy to switch between the two. I created the docker image using VM and completed the setup in a few hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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 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."

"Amazon Connect is really simple, straightforward, and very flexible."

"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."

"It integrates with major tools like Amazon Polly for text-to-speech and third-party services like Twilio and Cisco-based dialers."

"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."

"Amazon Connect is easy to learn."

More Amazon Connect pros

"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."

Cons

"We have faced many challenges with the solution's call quality that could be improved."

"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."

"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 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."

"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 scalability needs improvement."

"There may be room for security improvement, especially since data is stored in the cloud. While cloud security measures are robust, there may be concerns about data safety compared to traditional server setups."

"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."

More Amazon Connect cons

"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is a pay-as-you-go model."

"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 solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."

"The pricing of the Amazon is reasonable compared to other cloud providers."

"Amazon Connect has a pay-as-you-go model. But I have a slightly different perspective on it."

"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."
