Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI
Google is a known product that many have used and we didn't see any other competitors having the edge that they do in their products. This is seen in their customer service when it comes to learning how to use the product and they have the resources to self-learn it.
Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI

Chose Google Cloud Contact Center AI

Likelihood to Recommend
Our company is a startup that is just starting to get wholesale customers. When we realized our customers needed support using our products, we set up a Contact Center via Amazon Connect. It has been very useful in allowing us to scale up very quickly, and provide services to our company as if we were a large corporation.

In a specific scenario in which I would not recommend it, it would be in a hospital, since the level of margin of error must be minimal, human lives are at risk and can cost dearly if Google cloud contact center AI fails, in the scenario in which I would recommend it, it would be in that of a legal company

  • Google Cloud Contact Center AI is based on the same foundation infrastructure and services as Google Assistant, therefore, it is robust and flexible. The APIs are very well built and documented as well. Any newbie can start using the service with a very little learning curve.
  • Seamless integrations are also a great add-on. Google makes sure that Contact Center AI service integrates well with leading customer service platforms which helps any user to use only the required functionalities from Contact Center AI and meanwhile use any other primary platform.
  • Robust documentation which is always alive and is updated within no time is of great help! Google makes sure its end customers know what to do where and when in clear plain text and any issues/ bugs are also documented.

We are happy with the implementation and functionality of the software and associated systems. In general, unless something better can replace this system we intend on continuing. We think the ease of systems implementation and integration adds value and substantiates the use and excellent functionality of the product and associated services.

Usability
It is very easy to use for any access level and has greatly facilitated users' ability to properly document tickets without getting lost in short or vague comments. Each case is fully tracked through this transcription of information. This made it easier for us to decide whether to implement, use, and maintain it as our contact tool in our customer service center.

Generally intuitive and easy to learn. I would like more guides but the learning curve is rather quick and makes the software rather an easy study for the average user. Generally, the support and functionality of the software make for a generally good outcome and easy implementation of the software and user experience.
