I think Workday is much more user-friendly with much less clicking about for answers. It's also easier to use and I don't feel confused or doubtful when submitting for time off or time corrections. The reasons that times get rejected are also much easier to follow and the …

Noble far exceeds the other solutions explored for the simple reason of product suite offerings. There is very little-to-no need to stack vendors on a basic telephony platform because Noble has the proprietary suite of products. Full integration. Reporting. Recording. AI. …

Noble offered a lot of functions for the lowest price. The QA component alone was a big selling point, along with the PCI compliance of their remote server locations. CCX was premise-based and was bulletproof. It never went down, its UI never had problems, and we never dropped …

RingCentral does everything that Zoom does, but people tend to be more use to saying "I'll Zoom you" then mention RingCentral. A lot of companies use Teams for Calls, but it is in no way customizable like RingCentral is, and if I had to start my own business or sales team, we …

RingCentral Contact Center is the easiest to use and understand. Its interface is more accessible and visually appealing than Microsoft Teams. It has the social/enjoyable aspect with the integration of emojis and gifs, but not to the seemingly comical level of Slack.

RingCentral Contact Center's application is much more intuitive than Nextiva's application. It's also easier to configure. It also has a lot of functionality that Nextiva does not. For example, RingCentral will transcribe Voice mail messages for us, whereas Nextiva does not. …

Ring Central is one of the most simplified contact centre solutions in the market. They have multiple contact centers including one in partnership with Nice CXOne. One difference I have seen in all these solutions is the level of support. Cisco leads in support but they have …

Noble is well suited for any size contact center doing inbound only, or fully blended environments. From appointment setting to collections, Noble has products to successfully accomplish the requirement. For organizations that are heavily focused on compliance, Noble's TCPA Lockdown product, Post and Real-Time Speech Analytics, and onboard evaluation tools are a must - all proprietary and fully integrated. For organizations interested in "doing more with less", Noble has multiple AI products that ensure success.

I think RingCentral Contact Center could be well suited to any workplace. I think it does well in the reliability and ease of use departments, and that covers 90% of what you need from a phone system. The added modern integration benefits are the cherry on top! I'm not sure how the pricing model works, so maybe that would be the only limiting factor as far as scenarios where RingCentral Contact Center would not be as well suited.

Pros
  • Local control: the Noble Maestro platform, once you learn it, enables you to control your call center right from your desk. You can add, delete, and skill users, you can build all of your IVR flows and change them as necessary (like for holiday closures, etc)
  • User interface design: I built the pop-up windows for each queue, and was able to design them to contain quick reference information for how to handle calls, and build an order number capture module from the IVR to the agent. In other words, I could prompt the customer to punch in their order number, then display it to the agent.
  • Technical support - their support group was easy to reach and easy to work with.

  • Reliability: Our previous service was prone to outages, RingCentral Contact Center has been rock solid as long as we've used it.
  • Integration: Our IT team was able to build a custom RingCentral Contact Center dashboard on our website for our salespeople to manage inbound/ outbound calling. From there we were able to send call data directly into activities in our ERP (Acumatica).
  • Ease of use: It works well whether in the office or WFH (which many employees do regularly.

Cons
  • It could show more info on the home page, not just the daily schedule
  • At times the website runs a little slow
  • The mobile app could be easier to navigate as well

  • I would like to be able to text from our main office line rather than only my office direct line, so I can keep my direct line private
  • I wish it was easier for all users to be able to toggle between calls ringing at their desk phone and cell phone
  • It would be nice if the process to add other team member's numbers to our desk phone screen was easier

We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service

Alvaria has a clunkier User Interface than Workday. It's granular to such an extent that it actually decreases usability for those less technologically literate (most managers). For scheduling, it can be used much more granularly, which is great for reporting but requires a larger investment of time and knowledge to make the system effective.

Return on Investment
  • I think it works fine but a lot of the employees always have to ask for help submitting times off so we have to ask for help which wastes a lot of time.

  • With RingCentral Contact Center we were able to connect with our customers. The feature that allows the call to be sent to the first available rep ensured that this happened.
  • Also, my favorite feature is the call recording and transcription feature. This allowed me to get the customer's emails without asking them to repeat if I missed them the first time. Hence, happier customers and more meetings.
  • RingCentral Contact Center also made it very easy to set up a mailbox for customers to leave messages and reassure them that they've connected with the right person.
