Alida CXM vs. Webex Contact Center

If you need a robust back end statistical program, this is not for you. If you are looking for a slick, interactive media survey tool it deserves a strong look.

It depends on your needs. If you only need simple call flows, consider using Cisco Webex Calling Auto-Attendant. If you require more complex call flows and time-of-day routing, you can utilize Cisco Webex Contact Center. You only have to purchase 1 Agent to use the Call Flow Designer.

• The ability to cross-tab and filter in dynamic report is pretty flawless.
• Additionally, the various export formats in the report module are each useful in their own way.
• Their client relations is really nice, they are always quick to respond to issues or additional help needed.
• They do a great job on their end of finding panelists when we need additional people for a survey.

• Things that it does particularly well include a really good UX or UI so that our agents as well as our administrators, can easily provide remote access from agents, new agents, and old agents, manage interactions with customers, and have a good call experience from start to finish.
• The uptime is a big selling point of Cisco.
• I feel supposed by Cisco in terms of new features/functionality coming down the line.

• Some things on Vision Critical allow for customization, but other pieces seem cumbersome. Based soley on the survey piece of this software, I would rate it better than most basic online survey tools (surveyMonkey or Zoomerang), but not as customizable as some of the more advanced solutions (like Qualitrics)
• The tool in Vision Critical that allows you to see survey data and reports is unwieldy and complicated to use.

• Better integration with Webex Calling.
• More on premise features integrated into the cloud solution.
• Better documentation for pebble templates.
• Better information for changes and when new features are available. Instead of having to look on the what’s coming webpage alerts or a pop-up inside Webex control hub would be nice.

There are better options out there. The only motivating factor to use this product is the lower cost and the value received from using it.

We are happy with the product, with Cisco as a partner and the roadmap looks mightily impressive. Webex Contact Center is one of our growth areas so we're keen to get more agents on the platform, we want to get more customers on it and we want to make use of all the features and functionalities it offers, so that we can help our customers do what they do best.

I think there is a ton of room to improve, in things as simple as aesthetics and other areas of logical flow when it comes to creating and then launching a survey, as well as providing descriptors for what each field is referencing. For instance, there are like 5 date fields to be filled out, but no button near them that says "this date will determine _________" and I am not about to go back into the training module, which was confusing enough to FIND, let alone work through to find just ONE answer.

It is great to use Webex Contact Center as it delivers the call routing and workflow for agent and call routing. In addition to this the noise reduction helps to focus attention on the call and with the client. The notes feature and the ability for the transcription really helps with translation and language barriers.

Absolutely fantastic support team. Willing to help you online through vast collection of how-to guides and resources, online via chatbox, or over the phone. Even though we were in different time zones, they were always available. Very helpful and knowledgeable

As described earlier in the review, I believe Vision Critical provides a fantastic survey tool. However, I think that some other tools are just as good for simply programming and deploying surveys. The thing that makes Vision Critical stand above the rest is the opportunity it provides for you to easily engage with the same customers on an ongoing basis and tie their responses together over time. I love that we can manage our insight community's home page, emails to panelists, surveys, reports, and much more all from the same tool.

Webex Contact Center works great in conjunction with the above product to produce a better system from businesses and more options to reach the maximum number of clients to make the business thrive. It makes it easier to reach all generations and remove any limitation or obstetrical and makes the business have a better chance of success.

• Particularly with the panel we have been able to save costs on purchasing sample
• With the panel we can quickly field questions for short notice requests

• No Capex required for this solution (which makes our CFO very happy)
• Digital channels are builtin and therefore very easy to deploy
• The built in CRM integration was missing features so we had to install a thirdparty connector which we had to pay for (and wasn't in our budget) in order to get the features which our business demanded
