Cisco Unified Contact Center - Still an Industry Favorite
I assist my customer (Superior Court of California, County of Ventura) with implementation and upgrade related activities. Cisco Unified Contact Center is used to provide the court with call centers for their specific departments such as Criminal, Traffic, and Family law. The court has call center agents that answer calls from the public. The court also utilizes this product for many different auto-attendants that the general public uses on a daily basis.
- Provide callers with menu options that lead to specific users/departments.
- Provide call center capabilities to the general public.
- Allows call center agents to take calls.
- Upgrades can be problematic, Cisco should do more testing before releasing updates and new versions of software.
- Implementing high availability can have issues, more testing required here too.
- Documentation around administration could also be improved.

Cisco Review
I use the product to develop IVRs and integrate customer data using Salesforce.
- Using call Studio. You can use APIs to retrieve data from external systems, update systems, validate users, perform speech recognition, and it's all industry-leading technology.
- Licensing. A lot of times the licensing is complex and to get certain things provisioned takes a little bit longer than it probably could.

A Robust and Powerful Stable Contact Center Solution
Cisco Unified Contact Center is being used in many organisations we work [with] as a vendor, to help them make or receive calls related to sales, support, employee help, etc as a Contact Center Solution. It's a very stable and robust solution, customers do not want to migrate to any other contact center solution.
- Call flow customisation using scripting
- Database integration
- CRM integrations
- Licensing is not fully unified
- Call scripting interface should be more friendly
- Call scripting not supported by RAC

Very good software for CC attendance
Cisco manages to be efficient for both remote and face-to-face work. It is used to contact customers, partners, and all company stakeholders. We transfer to other sectors to be able to finalize the services with the customers, thus trying to verify case by case in each system available in each sector.
- Integrations with CRMs.
- Pause and resume calls.
- Customization of reports.
- Sometimes it becomes a little complex to work with the tool, sometimes due to slowness or failures during login.
- The support leaves a lot to be desired, sometimes it responds quickly and sometimes it takes a long time to get the necessary service.
The CUCC is being used within the organization to be able to get in touch with our customers at our centers, make transfers to other areas of the sector to be able to perform our customer service with excellence.
- Able to pause and resume the call to check system information.
- Call transfer
- The possibility of monitoring contacts.
- Sometimes due to system failures, we end up being forced to restart the page and re-login.
- Sometimes it ends up being a little slow.
- It takes a long time to complete 100% of the implementation.

Single point solution for customer needs
In our [organization] Cisco Unified Contact Center is basically used for multichannel contact management over an IP infrastructure basically to interact with customers & internal employees over voice, email, webchat, and social media. It’s an all-in-one solution for call center agents to work under one umbrella.
- It’s an easy to deploy & easy to use solution.
- It smoothly [integrates] inbound and outbound voice applications with Internet applications such as real-time chat & E-mail.
- Better management of incoming calls with conditional routing.
- The licensing mechanism for enabling each feature is really complex.
- Administration is a nightmare.
- The application is bit heavier than its counterparts.
- The solution is bit expensive.

Best customer experience
I am using Cisco Unified Intelligent Center, call manager and ccmp, jabber, IP phones, etc. Basically, everything comes as a package to provide a contact centre setup. Creating agents, providing access, and addressing the issue faced by the users. Cisco provides such a good service that once the user understands the system properly then the user experience is really awesome, on day to day basis the issue we came across is not because of any discrepancy in the product but lack of understanding on the user side, which also can be reduced by providing orientation program.
- Reporting related to call details , agent details, billing, etc.
- Routing as per the user requirements as part of redundancy.
- Best customer experience through the technical assistance.
- GUI of CUIC can be improvised.
- API development could be more effective for avoiding the slow loading of some features in CUIC.
- The user helping manual must be included in the call manager to handle some configuration that requires long-term memory power of the brain.

Cisco Unified Contact Center (Enterprise) Review
We have been partners with Cisco for more than 15 years. It's used in most of our customer deployments as a contact center solution to provide and fulfill the extreme level of complex call flow design requirements. It addresses an extreme level of personalization from a call flow, IVR, routing, and reporting perspective. It has a very simple user-friendly UI. Also, it can be integrated with multiple third-party solutions for recording, like Verint. The agents can log in to their PC using Finesse over an internet browser, so no extra software is needed for agent login.
- Advanced features for call routing development.
- Omnichannel.
- Contact center monitoring dashboards.
- Customization capabilities.
- Hard times with implementation, due to some complexities in the solution suite.
In our organization's IT department, we use the Cisco Unified Contact Center to address common problems for our own employees such as supervisors, SMEs, agents, and Program Managers to attend from password resets to red codes opening specific program glitches. This program is very intuitive and you can customize it for each case solution.
- Deliver a proactive and personalized customer experience
- Support for 25+ languages
- You can create a wide variety of customized dashboards
- It's difficult to implement and it takes a lot of time
- Some features suddenly stop working and we have to reload the page it or restart it
- Some bugs that can take a long time to fix
We started to implement Cisco Unified Contact Center in our company after having a bad experience with other software, I found it great to have implemented it, it offers solutions for our contact center of more than 1000 agents and it is growing.
The communication for the agent is excellent since this software allows you to equip agents with multi-channels of communication that allow them to take chats, calls, emails, and more.
Only with this, it is worth mentioning that we have had a growth in our satisfaction surveys since we provide more personalized customer service and also much faster.
- Provide multichannel for contacts to have a better customer service.
- It has a great IVR tool feature that helps us retaining our customers.
- It provides solutions for small, medium and large companies, so everyone can try it
- Needs some time to get it installed and fully implemented.
- Sometimes it bugs a little bit with some features.
- Is not that easy to integrate with APIs and other tools.

Cisco Unified Contact Center Review
The application is being used by most departments. Other departments have specific applications more in line with their respective role in the company. Cisco Unified Contact Center provides a centralized hub for all incoming contacts, which makes it easier for our QA and RTA specialists to view and analyze data on top of making it easier for our teams to handle the priority contact due to importance.
- Great interface
- Easy to use
- Easy to learn
- Great adapatation
- Task scheduling
- Performance tracking
Cisco Unified Contact Center was originally thought to improve in some areas of opportunities in our business, it was good to deliver some results, however, we find a lot of glitched and errors on it, that we can handle at this time but, we'll really expect this software to improve and their creators to put a little bit more effort on support when is needed.
- Good management and easy-to-use
- Customer Satisfaction improved a lot
- Contacts are easy to handle
- It's really glitchy sometimes
- It lacks on support when it fails
- It's losing potential if lack of support and glitches are not solved

Good enough
Cisco Unified Contact Center is being used by our support contact centers. This tool allows us to call each other internally, make outbound calls to our customers, and also accept inbound calls from our customers directly. This tool also allows us to transfer calls. It tracks our call volumes, agents statistics as well as our call handling time, hold time, and several other factors.
- View my daily statistics
- Manage available status
- Pause and resume call recordings as needed
- Call handling and analysis
- Track trends
- Agent statistics
Cisco Unified Contact Center is used across the department for one of the most important tasks, and that is to survey customer satisfaction rating which helps us understand the level of support we provide, make better adjustments and improvements in our support and it also helps us measure/improve performance of our agents during the calls.
- Allows us to measure performance of employees
- Allows us to gather service satisfaction rating from customers
- Multi-channeled feature that allows smooth communication within the company
- Multi-channeled features allow easy communication with the client
- It would be nice if it could support more agents to be connected at the same time

- Extensible
- Documentation
- Training
- reduce segmentation

The on prem custom solution
We have agents working from a couple of offices and/or remotely for some others. Cisco Unified Contact Center helps us solve issues of personalization required for call flow and IVR, and in total transparency for our customers. Finesse (the agent cockpit) is intuitive and easy to use. In terms of reporting, we also get everything we need. We also use the call recording feature (OEM calabrio).
- Easy to use agent cockpit (Finesse) available from web browser.
- Lots of integrations available (Calabrio, Verint, CRMs, etc...)
- High level of personalization (need some scripting skills/resources)
- May need scripting skills (vs new Webex Contact Center which is easier to configure)
- Rely on third party solution (Calabrio) for call recording

Cisco Unified Contact Center is used for our customer experience through our call center. Our agents help clients and customers with any issues, new business opportunities, or any other items. The cisco call integration is a part of making the customer experience smoother by wasting less of our agents and customers time.
- Self-service
- Data collection and analysis
- Routing system
- Other tools for integration
- Licensing model is old
- Some call options are limited
Cisco Unified Contact Center was being used by our call center team. Obviously, since this is a call center solution, it addresses the business problem of needing to set up multiple agents to be enabled to receive multiple calls in a queue based system. It is also used by the peripheral staff that need to use it to run reports.
- Ability to expand
- Control and ownership of solution
- Ability to customize
- Use of special proprietary software in order to edit the call flows
- More complicated and dense than it needs to be
- Solution is not made for remote work
