Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Being able to listen in on a call, which is exceptionally good with training.""It has the ability to edit the HTML, as well as the WYSIWYG.""I have found the ease of use of the ACD to be most valuable along with the inView dashboard.""Customer support is terrific. The team is personable, informed, and responsive.""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.""We are able to see the calls in queue and able to see if someone is available or not.""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.""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."

"It is easy to use.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the assets management module.""SolarWinds is scalable as far as adding devices and servers.""It has a pretty good search function. If you do the advanced search, you can basically search for anything in any field. If I do a search on the request field and just put in some terms I'm searching for, I can usually find the ticket that I'm looking for.""Once installed, it runs like a charm and doesn't ever crash."

Cons
"It could improve the quality of calls.""It is a hassle, if you are busy and caught up with something, that it will log you out.""inContact should offer a way to send faxes.""If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow.""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.""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."

"A little outdated compared to newer products that include protection and detection.""The interface feels clunky to me compared to some other systems that I've used. I used ManageEngine Service Desk prior to this at my previous job and that had stuff like categories that we use that I don't see in SolarWinds.""It would be good if there were training and tutorial videos on the Web Help Desk.""This solution needs to have mobile application support added.""We would like to see automation included in the next release. We would like to eliminate the L1, and L2 support, by at least 80%. To do this, we need automation with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in combination with ML (Machine Learning)."

    Top Answer:It would be good if there were training and tutorial videos on the Web Help Desk. There are videos on the website, but it would be handy if they were on the Web Help Desk.
