Amazon Connect vs. Nextiva Contact Center

Our company is a startup that is just starting to get wholesale customers. When we realized our customers needed support using our products, we set up a Contact Center via Amazon Connect. It has been very useful in allowing us to scale up very quickly, and provide services to our company as if we were a large corporation.

We have over 50 locations and an in-house call center, so having a united platform to perform customer service duties is absolutely critical. Nextiva Contact Center is a very effective solution for large teams and multi-location businesses. If you need to regularly report on call volume and agent performance, it is extremely helpful. A very small team may not benefit from it as much as a medium to large scale one.
