Long time user of Unified IP for our interaction routing

Pros

Reliable, stable, feature-rich contact center platform that provides multi-channel interaction routing. We've combined Unified IP with other Aspect contact center tools (workforce management, quality management and call recording) and are very satisfied with impact it has had on our business.

Cons

Have you use multiple interfaces to add and remove agents. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if I could do this from one user interface.

Aspect Unified IP 7.2 and 7.3 customer review

Pros

Completeness of vision for Omni-channel Contact Center software solution. Integrated solution including PBX, IVR, Voicemail, Outbound capabilities. Ease of administration of key Contact Center functionality, with add-on customization capability. Ease of IVR deployment, and some canned IVR functionality such as Advanced Queue Optimizer, Voicemail, etc. In-built DR capabilities and ease of setup of DR sync processes. Good Real-time reporting interface which is highly configurable.

Cons

Some limitations in Unified Director software, could use a more modern admin application with search capabilities on several screens. Can use more pre-configured systems alerts in UD. M3 designer would greatly benefit from having a Copy Document feature. Canned Reporting with Dataviews could use a more modern interface with some speed gains.

Great Idea but Always Glitching

Pros

We started using this software about 6 months ago at work, and I love the layout and features this software has to offer. I did have to reach out to customer service because I was trying to find an option and was having trouble understanding how to get to it, and they were extremely helpful and courteous.

Cons

Glitching often and takes a long time to load all features. Being in a call center we are always on our toes with incoming calls so we need software that is going to be quick without lagging or glitches, but I see this happening every day with this software.

Aspect UIP dialers are designed well and with time & due diligence are solid performers.

Pros

With version 7.3 SP3+, dependability and performance has been solid. The integration of tools allows for customized flexibility. You can do things within the applications in multiple ways to help support variations in business uses. User interfaces within ALM and UIP are fairly easy.

Cons

There are cases where integration of acquired technologies force use of M3 scripts to implement more complex call routing situations. You can tell that the various applications that make up the Unified-IP functionality is a combination of acquired technologies as its lacking some SSO or single sign-on capabilities which can make administration a little less responsive.

When the product is working it works well. When there are issues they persist until an update.

The ability to blend Inbound/Outbound calls.

Pros

It's easy to use and become familiar with. The support seems to be good for this product. Updates seem to come fairly frequently.

Cons

When there are issues, the issues seem to show up very frequently until a hotfix is put in place. The pacing options aren't easy to adjust for predictive and when discussing with Aspect folks there never seems to be a clear answer to the questions. When blending Inbound/Outbound it's difficult to put preference on Outbound to drive down service level when we would like to.
