Featured Reviews

AA
IT Manager at Namchow (Thailand) Ltd.
Global communication has improved customer meetings but remains costly and limited in reach
The most valuable features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are that both software platforms are the same, with only the video conference being different. The quality is acceptable for our needs. The benefits I have seen from using Cisco Webex Contact Center are that it is easy to contact customers and easy to open issues regarding hardware problems.
AG
Technology Specialist at Cognizant
Improved efficiency with browser-based call handling and efficient scripting tools
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio. Clearing cache and cookies from browsers often resolves these problems, but it's something that occurs frequently. Simplifying the studio tool could also be an improvement, along with organizing external training and better communication about new features, like agent assist or agent co-pilot.

Pros

"The most valuable features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are that both software platforms are the same, with only the video conference being different, the quality is acceptable for our needs, and it is easy to contact customers and easy to open issues regarding hardware problems."
"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"The collaboration function is an important feature. The tool is used for telecommuting and distance communication. For example, you can use Webex if you have a global service or team that needs to collaborate online."
"The technical support for Cisco Webex Contact Center is high quality and I would rate it at least nine out of ten."
"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"Cisco technical support is outstanding."
"The technical support for NICE CXone is outstanding."
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training."
"Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents."
"The system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
"Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive."
"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with."
"We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not."
"It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum."
 

Cons

"When comparing Cisco to free collaboration tools like Google Meet and Teams, often included with Microsoft licenses, some clients, particularly those not in the enterprise sector, might prefer the free or more cost-effective options."
"It is not straightforward for beginners but is very straightforward for those familiar with it. It can be a little complicated for those who have not worked on it before."
"Cisco Webex Contact Center needs more improvements, especially as they lagged behind initially in adopting cloud technologies."
"The scalability of the solution is limited in that it cannot scale out effectively. This is why I have attempted to use Microsoft Teams to achieve greater scalability than Cisco Webex because I believe Cisco Webex is very expensive."
"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio."
"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific."
"It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out."
"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."
"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."
"Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a cheap product, especially when compared to Microsoft Teams."
"We had a custom setup that cost us some money."
