User Testimonials
BrazeZoom Contact Center
Likelihood to Recommend
Its really well suited to brands with a mobile app. And from what I can glean from the features my org isn't able to take advantage of, its best suited for: - B2C brands that use social media - ecommerce (i.e. CPG) Otherwise, I am not convinced it is the tool I would recommend for users that do not have a mobile app. You're not getting most of the value from it.

Perfect for companies that have agents all over the place, e.g., different offices or WFH. Also good for companies that aren't big enough to have a "phone guy" as this platform allows IT to do the phone work as it doesn't require esoteric knowledge like other phone systems.

Pros
  • Well looked after - Braze itself are always on hand to answer any questions and help us make our work better.
  • Great tool - We use a fair bit of Braze but there
  • are so many exciting features we're slowly incorporating, Braze is always building on what they have and this keeps us top of our game.
  • Fantastic learning - I have advanced quickly in my work in Braze due to their support and learning programs. This has been key for me.

  • Customer service - Whether for sales, setup, or technical assistant, their team is always patient, informed, and helpful.
  • Cutting Edge - Every month there are a plethora of new or enhanced features that are well thought, tested, and ready for implementing.
  • Stability - Our uptime is important to our clients. As a 24/7 365 day/year contact center, having confidence that Zoom's systems are up and running means our clients have trust in our abilities to service their calls.

Cons
  • Enabling GIF/videos to be directly uploaded on to Braze's platform
  • Easier way of creating canvases; right now it is too complex for someone new who is starting off in the company to understand what things do and where things are
  • Ability to track duplicate user profiles within the entire audience segment
  • Automated deduplicating email addresses/phone numbers in each targeting segment; right now it's done manually after extracting csv files

  • The Teams dashboard for monitoring agents needs some customization options.
  • Friendly names, I would like to be able to name a number and when it rings you can see the name of the number.
  • Point flows at flows would be nice, instead of flows to queues only.

Usability
It is an easy-to-understand platform, thanks to its design and accessibility. You can, for example, easily find any users and their data, check exact volumes of segments, follow the history of messages sent, and create reports. We can connect Braze with other platforms for analysis or email design (Snowflake, Hightouch, Stripo...).

First and foremost for our results, the omnichannel approach and ease of use on the internal side (agents, supervisors and administrators) have made adoption very simple, we have managed to reduce response times (SLA) and internal communication has become very fluid. We get good feedback from our clients for having implemented ZCC in the company to serve them.

Support Rating
Very responsive and helpful on simple questions, but not great other than that. They do not have a way for the customer/user to escalate a ticket. You have to contact your rep and in some cases, they don't respond within 24 hours so you have no idea if they have escalated it. There is no phone number for an urgent issue - you have to rely on email

Alternatives Considered
Braze has its own strengths and weaknesses compared to Bloomreach and Hubspot. Personally I prefer Bloomreach for lifecycle journey and orchestration however I've felt integration and scaling to be more straightforward with Braze. Other platforms have been reviewed but for value for money at scale and quality of platform, Braze came out as the chosen one.

Microsoft Teams was very difficult. Many third-party providers didn't understand the integration and capabilities of the systems. The Teams app is very clunky, and you can get very different capabilities and compatibility when using it between Mac and PC environments. Zoom had a local team that could help with the transition directly, which is very valuable

Return on Investment
  • We saved a couple of million by switching from Salesforce to Braze.
  • We increased our engagement for a limited-time promo by 33% by simply running a 4-variant subject line test.
  • We managed to reduce our unsubscribe volume by 18% by excluding dormant users.

  • Intuitive, Easier and almost effortless to maintain.
  • Lesser Operational Expenses that the alternative we also have
  • We wish it has a better integration with Zoom Phone, in terms of channels integration (Voice and Chat) to quick identify callers.
  • It is missing "modular" programming to "reuse" Existing Flows and call them from other flows then return to the main flow.
  • It is missing the capability to compartmentalizing different teams/groups related to reporting, admin, and global parameters.
