Ahmed  Helmy - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud simplifies deployment and expansion but needs more third-party options
If I wanted a single feature, the best feature is the fastest process for going live on the contact center features. Cisco Webex Contact Center also helps me avoid the headache of server configurations and management, as well as facilitating third-party integration like WhatsApp, which is much easier on the cloud. These aspects add value for my customers who opt for cloud contact center solutions, whether from Cisco or other competitors.
TANMAY AKHADE - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, enables to respond to customer queries 70% to 80% quickly, and reduces dependency on agents
The product has automatic call-routing features. We must share how the calls must be routed to each team, and it automatically takes care of it. The solution is quite user-friendly. We don't have to do a lot of coding. We can do certain configurations on top of the coding, and it is automatically taken care of in the backend. It is a good feature. We can do a lot of automation. The tool is moving towards generative AI. The customer talks to the tool, and the tool understands what they need and provides it to them. Earlier, the customers would send an email and wait for a response from a representative. Our TAT was two to three years. Currently, our TAT is 20 minutes. If customers contact us with any concerns, we respond to them quickly. The response time has improved by 70% to 80%. Though it is new to the market, the generative AI has reduced our dependency on the agents. Earlier, the agents had to answer all of the customers’ issues. Now, TalkDesk fetches the answer from the backend and provides it to the customer. AI is good. It saves us a lot of time. It’s a discovery phase, so it is not quite handy. However, at times, less interaction is required if all the details are available on the website.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support for Cisco Webex Contact Center is high quality and I would rate it at least nine out of ten."
"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"Cisco technical support is outstanding."
"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."
"With TalkDesk, you can use add-ons, like extensions, from another application. TalkDesk allowed us to leverage metrics and analyze long calls using additional add-ons. I remember using Observe.AI, which was a game-changer for our project involving governmental information."
"With TalkDesk, you get to use TalkDesk Studio, which allows you to easily create outbound campaigns, and I am very happy with it."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its calling feature. It is very stable for outbound calls, and the tool's call routing feature is efficient. We integrated it with Zendesk. I answered the calls in my queue and transferred the ones that were for escalation. TalkDesk is very user-friendly."
"I believe it is a great return because our last solution did not have this strict relationship."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"TalkDesk enhanced customer service with AI."
"It is very simple to learn how to use TalkDesk."
 

Cons

"Cisco Webex Contact Center needs more improvements, especially as they lagged behind initially in adopting cloud technologies."
"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"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."
"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."
"One area of improvement is the customization options for cloud storage."
"The drawback of the tool revolves around the fact that I see it is very slow when loading the pages."
"There were two big issues, but in a general statement, it is a stable tool."
"The solution lacks some features for outbound campaigns compared to other providers."
"The solution's reporting feature is sometimes delayed and could be improved."
"The product must automate certain features so the agents do not have to do things manually."
"Inbound calls are shaky, especially if your internet speed is not high. It happens because of the internet bandwidth. The solution must be stable for regions with slow internet speeds, such as South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya. It is because Africa doesn't have a good internet infrastructure."
"There is room for improvement in the flexibility of the dashboard and reporting customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a cheap product, especially when compared to Microsoft Teams."
"If we need less number of licenses, the pricing will be high."
"TalkDesk's pricing is with the investment."
