Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Modules of integrated ITIL managers.""Logging every action in Service Desk Manager (SDM).""Our users access it via the web. We have external and internal sources, and we're now introducing the mobile app portion so our computer engineers can respond to tickets remotely.""The tool itself is valuable as a result of all its features combined. Therefore, I have found that there is no feature more valuable than another.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""Ability to write macros, which can in turn trigger some condition or could be conditioned to basically trigger notifications, the workflow desk, or web calls. It is huge benefit to customize it.""It has a good GUI interface.""Solution is scalable. It does work. We can modify it up better to make it the way we want it to work. We have implemented it for larger and smaller companies."

"It is easy to look up and playback calls with this system as it categorizes the different types of calls that come through my call center. I like that inContact is always updating and continues to improve. The quality of its recorded calls is among the best that I have had experience with.""Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training.""It's easier as a supervisor to do your job more efficiently. You can have multiple things open at once to watch everything, being able to take one look at a page and see everything you need rather then having to flip through multiple programs. This is such a time saver. I get a lot more done in my day due to being able to keep my opened programs down to a minimum.""I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard.""We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not.""Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG.""inContact has helped our organization greatly by allowing us to see at a glance which agents are available to receive calls and those who are not, we are able to see why not."

Cons
"​Compared to some of the other products, I think we are bit behind​.​""​We would like to see them revamp, or rework, a lot of their configuration management database structures. We hear that is on the horizon.""The API is very, very bad so we developed our own.""Just little technical tweaks here and there. Like more options. For example "Organization." We wanted that to be available inside the change order, as well as the ticket and the request. And that's not available.""We just upgraded about a year and half ago and it was painful. We had the testing of the dev environment, and then testing of the production environment, so it was two weekends out of my life. And stuff broke.""We would like the CMDB to be populated automatically. At the moment, everything is manually created.""On permissions, there are options to do groups and options to do roles. What is practical, you have to pick one or the other, for both read and write permissions.""Diversifying notification methods with pop-ups or ready-made WhatsApp or Skype integration packages would be welcome."

More Clarity SM Cons →

"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker.""Your docs go on their servers and getting them out is difficult, especially if you want to switch to another authoring format, e.g., Markdown. There are no converters and an automated extraction of the docs from the CMS is not available.""inContact should offer a way to send faxes.""I would like to see inView be a built-in feature of CXone rather than a separate platform, but everything else is terrific.""I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended.""It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out.""It could improve the quality of calls.""If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
