Ameyo by Exotel vs. Zendesk Talk

Ameyo's Scenario works well : During high volumes large customer support team needs to handle hundreds or thousands of daily inbound inquiries. Agents are handling issues across various channels—voice, email, and chat—and the company needs to ensure a consistent, trackable customer experience. Ameyo’s multi-channel capabilities, coupled with tools for ticketing, call routing, and automated follow-ups, help agents manage large volumes efficiently. Real-time dashboards and performance reports allow supervisors to monitor and manage SLAs closely. Ameyo's Scenario does not works well : For SME or MSME platforms with small team size and low call volumes, Ameyo's extensive features will be too costly and in -effective

Zendesk Talk is a great partner that helps us in the customer care area by managing every type of contact with customers (both phone calls and emails). I know there is also the possibility to have integration with instant messaging apps (like messenger and WhatsApp but I have never used them in my experience). In my opinion, the best scenario for Zendesk Talk is represented by a context with a high amount of contacts/requests where a unique platform could be a help both on the external side (customers) and on the internal side (a lot of colleagues who are working in the same area and have to work in a coordinate way). For customers, they could benefit from tailor-made answers, also based on past contacts for the same topic, and avoid waiting times during phone calls, with an immediate follow-up. For internal work management, operators don't overlap in a single request, and even if the same operator is not available the one who manages the request later has complete visibility of the entire topic from the historical point of view. Last but not least, I think that Zendesk Talk helps a lot in the context in which the request's speed is a KPI to manage constantly.

• Customer Support: Ameyo can be used to manage a customer support team’s interactions. Customer support representatives can handle queries through voice calls, emails, and chat—all through a unified interface.
• Campaign Management: Marketing and telemarketing teams can use Ameyo to run campaigns targeting different customer segments.
• Analytics and Reporting: Ameyo’s reporting features help supervisors and managers track KPIs, such as call wait times, first-call resolution rates, customer satisfaction, and agent productivity.
• Operational Efficiency: Manual handling of communications can be inefficient and error-prone. Ameyo’s automation features reduce the manual workload and improve operational efficiency,

• Call recording is a nice feature! It is great for training purposes and for quality assurance.
• The metrics you get from Explore are a great insight into how the team is handling the call volumes.
• Zendesk Talk has met most of our needs. It can be a bit unreliable at times.

• The reporting and analytics capabilities of Ameyo are not as robust as those of some of it rivals , it is challenging for me to evaluate the work of my teams and pinpoint areas for development as a result.
• It does not integrate with many third party programs, because if this we are finding it challenging to incorporate Ameyo into workflows on larger scale.
• Customer support managers may find it simpler to create customized reports with Ameyo, managers would then be able to monitor the metrics that matter most to them.

• The lag on the phone is by far the most annoying thing with Zendesk talk due to the voice over IP.
• Using the Reporting feature in Zendesk has never been a walk in the park. We have to customize a lot of fields and when something doesn't seem to add up, it at times feels like pulling teeth to get to the final answer of what went wrong.

As I said previously, Ameyo is a good tool however it has a long way to go compared to Avaya. The user interface can be improved a lot as they can use it as an app instead of completely web-based. Also, the reporting can be improved substantially and make the experience much better.

Everything about it works, as I have previously detailed. Coming from different companies and using other tools like Twilio or Aircall, those are VOIP tools that are built to be plugged into other tools, Zendesk Talk is natively built into Zendesk and feels correct in the user experience of Zendesk

Customer support also needs to improve for Ameyo. I am not saying it's bad however they need to support the users by customizing the reports as per the requirement of the user. They usually try to refer the user to videos or articles whereas the service for Avaya is that they show you a demo and not only that they customize the reports as per the business requirement

In our experience, we have had to go through many support people then ultimately getting frustrated enough to go directly to our point of contact who then doesn't always seem to be able to assist. We tend to get the support we need when it is escalated up to me and I reach out to our point of a contact person to express our frustration.

Avaya is very very good software. Most of the BPOs Contact Center's use them. They are very easy to use and don't use too much data also. Also, their user interface is very easy, especially for people who are not technically sound. The reports can be customized according to one's choice. I will recommend Ameyo's technical team look into it.

Slack and Zoom phones cannot compare because they have no ticketing systems. Zendesk Talk was the only option we considered because we were already using Zendesk for our email ticketing with customer concerns. We then expanded to using Zendesk's chatbot and then the Zendesk Talk system to keep it all integrated and streamlined.

• Ameyo is a good tool to use.
• They need to work on the report generation.

• We were able to reduce global headcount by 20% in our call centers.
• Allowing customers to leave voicemails creates the personal touch needed and really increases our customer connectivity score. We saw increases in our CSAT scores after the implementation of this solution.
• Call handling time and case reopen rates both decreased. Y/y it decreased 18% and 60%.
