Rajni Kumar Jha

Senior Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase & Co.

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.

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

"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.)."

"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."

"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."

"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 enhances customer experience by reducing operating costs due to its cloud-based pay-as-you-go model."

"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."

More Amazon Connect pros

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

Cons

"One area for improvement with Amazon Connect lies in the cost structure, particularly for use cases involving smaller data volumes. While it's simple to establish communication channels, the pricing model may result in higher costs for such scenarios. This presents a challenge that organizations may encounter, especially if they aim to optimize efficiency while managing smaller data transfers."

"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."

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

"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 scalability needs improvement."

"Due to network issues, the agent desktop might be affected. If the firewall blocks the agent's desktop, connectivity might be disrupted."

"I consider that there are other applications that could accomplish the same tasks in an easier way, but the cost of the product is somewhat expensive."

"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."

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."

"The solution is neither very expensive nor very cheap."

"The tool's licensing model is pay-as-you-go."

"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."

"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."

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