Easy to Use + Responsive Staff

Payment processing, and routing calls away from Customer Service reps to save time and money

Pros

Plum Dev is easy enough to set up new instances. There is a little bit of legwork in setting up scripts but once you have it all it's not difficult at all to configure.

Cons

Translating the API URLs specific to Plum Instances is a bit of a challenge. However if you sort your clients into buckets you will notice there are options to re-use the URL and swap out an ID for a merchant.

Excellent Product & Customer Service

We've been using Plum for a couple of years, and overall have

Pros

Very flexible, you can make changes in the portal with relative ease, and the changes are made instantly.

Cons

It would be nice if there was more searching inside of the portal to locate a DID with some different parameters.

Fuse+ Review

We wanted to fully control our IVR process and PLUM FUSE+ has allowed us to do that. Their account management team has also been really good. I have been highly impressed with their level of involvement. Often with vendors, this involvement drops after the on-boarding process but this has not been the case for us, which is refreshing.

Pros

We selected the Fuse+ product for its ease of use as well as reliability. The setup is very intuitive and can be customized to your business’s needs. We like that you can create your own testing environments and deploy immediately. The right tools really do make a difference.

Cons

The reporting was a little clunky for us at first but we have a great account manager who continues to engage with us to ensure we are on track.

Essential for our annual survey

Overall, we've been happy with Plum Voice.

Pros

Our ability to annually configure a large, complex survey using the Plum Voice interface has been very helpful over the last seven years. And, customer service has been excellent.

Cons

I've run into a few limitations when trying to edit the content of our survey.

Fuse+

Overall, extremely pleased with Fuse+. Along with being easy to use, it allows for a lot of flexibility, allowing for additional Javascript or VoiceXML if the standard data gathering/processing modules cannot accomplish a client's customized request. This has been a crucial factor for several of our implementations.

Pros

Fuse+ is incredibly simply to use and enables anyone to create, test and release a new IVR within a few days, if not sooner. Case in point: Within a few weeks of using Fuse+, we received an order of 17 unique IVR applications from a single client, to be released asap. With the easy to follow flow-chart interface and audio manager, the toll-free provisioning feature, the easy-to-use deployment table and especially the cloning feature, we were able to release all 17 IVRs a month later. Our previous deployment timeframe would have been 4-6 weeks per IVR, so Fuse+ saved us at least a year in development time.

Cons

For a 'nice to have' feature, I would like to see an option to export data from the reporting section, and eventually an option to schedule a daily report that can be automatically emailed. (I know there is exportable data from VoiceTrends but that is almost too granular) Prior to the latest release, I would've said the main landing page where all IVR applications are listed. In the past, the page was difficult to navigate; however, new filters have now been added that make it easier to find recently edited apps or apps that only I have created. Excellent enhancement!
