The primary use case for Cisco Webex Contact Center, due to its cloud-based nature, eliminates the need for complex server configurations and management. It offers easier expansion. I typically choose it over traditional contact center solutions for these benefits.

Until now, I've not reached level three escalation, as issues are typically resolved or tickets are closed by levels one and two.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Cisco is a strong choice and reputable brand compared to other online communication and collaboration tools.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. It depends on the complexity of the client setup, but one to two days is enough for a typical 10-15 users.
For Cisco, we handle it as a freelance setup, using an external consultant. The headcount varies depending on the complexity of the client's integration needs. A typical small setup usually involves four to six technical staff.
What was our ROI?
We find it very cost-effective because you avoid the need to travel to customer sites or other countries. With collaboration tools and online platforms, you can deliver messages, have conversations with your team and clients, and conduct presentations without leaving your location. This reduces travel costs, saves time, and eliminates expenses related to travel and accommodations.
It depends on the type of business you're running. For instance, if you're in sales or working for a pharmaceutical company where frequent travel is necessary, using online collaboration tools can save significant money. It reduces travel time and costs, potentially cutting up to 25% of your marketing or sales expenses.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Webex is delivered through both the department and distributors. The cost depends on the distributor and the complexity of the project. The cost may be lower for fully integrated systems, whereas standalone systems can vary in price.
I rate the product’s pricing as four out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
We will recommend Cisco Webex to clients who can afford the initial investment and ongoing license maintenance costs, particularly for enterprise-grade or global clients. For smaller clients, such as SMBs, we suggest alternative brands offering more manageable maintenance and license costs.
Cisco's third-party maintenance provider handles maintenance. We enroll all teams through Collaborative Services or SmartNet for support.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
