Utility Renewals Ltd - Max Contact review
Right from initial discussions before purchasing the software to deployment the team at Max couldnt do enough for us - There were a few bespoke features we needed adding into the software before it went live, Max got these completed in a timely manner and offered support throughout. Ongoing the support function they offer is good, queries and issues are addressed very quickly and problems solved. We have a good relationship with our account manager and he is more than willing to address any issues we may have, put forward any potential suggestions we have in terms of product development etc.
Pros
The whole layout of Max contact is completely different to the old on-premise dialler we used to use - Its far more up to date and alot more user friendly. Very little training is needed for the end user moving from existing platforms as it is so easy to use and self explanatory. For me the IVR maker is another massive pro to this software - It is so easy to use and create quite complicated IVR's using literally a drag and drop function.
Cons
The reporting function within Max is in constant development. Historical software we have used has enabled us to write reports from SQL queries this isn't a function within Max so there are pre set reports to run - If there are any reports missing Max are willing to write these reports and publish within your instance.
Reasons for Switching to MaxContact
Touchstar was becoming dated and the Hardware we had installed on premise was beginning to fail so we had the option of making the purchase of new hardware or making the jump to a cloud hosted dialler and we could future proof the business - This has turned out to be one of the best investments the company has made allowing us to continue to provide a service to our customers through home working which would have been very difficult to do with older, more out dated systems.

Full of Potential
I like the product a lot, its a great improvement on the old solution we had before. I think the best way to describe it is painfully frustrating. Its so close all the time to being a brilliant, industry leading, product; but always somehow manages to slightly miss the mark in the smallest but most important ways. I can see a lot of potential in MaxContact and hope that the kinks can be worked out soon.
Pros
The dialler portion is packed full of features that make campaign and list management really easy. Separating inbound skills and outbound campaigns is a brilliant idea that makes call centre management really easy. The ability to create custom scripts, dashboards and reports on the fly allows the call centre to stay up to date
Cons
The IVR is very basic compared to other products limiting the amount of self service ability Lots of the features (particularly new ones) just don't work. I could come up with a really long list of promising features that would be a revelation if they worked, but they just don't work properly. Development of new features is really slow and time schedules are either not met or not provided to begin with
Reasons for Switching to MaxContact
Touchstar is no longer being supported and the system was just outdated

Thank you for your feedback Callum, it's great to hear that you think MaxContact has a lot of potential and but we appreciate and understand that you're finding some elements of using MaxContact limiting. We're investing more than ever before into our people, product and processes to ensure that we're always improving.

APJ Solicitors - Max Contact
Pros
Unbelievable user interface which is up there with the easiest products to navigate around! Very good management portal with accessibility to make tweaks and changes tot he system. Never had 1 single issue with phone lines which is exactly what you want when having an automatic dialler.
Cons
Only con i would say is reporting, you have the base level reports within the systems and its very limited to what you can create yourself without paying for an extending version.

Great Product, Excelent support team,Easy to use.
All positive! I am really happy with the service and the software, it really is value for money , we looked at a few other companies when we first on boarded Max Contact , but they had a lot more features and looked a lot less clunky than other bands , however as a price point they very evenly matched with their competitors.
Pros
it is really easy to self manage, this has not been built for IT wiz Kids , its for real contact center /sales managers. great support team, very responsive and they understand how business critical their software is and that response time is a of utmost importance, you also have access to a account manager who again is really responsive.
Cons
Not many the Max Contact development team are always adding new features and services to their system.

Great platform with even better support and service
After searching the market and hearing some eye watering prices we had what was our last demo with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], not only was his demo informative and interesting, but the product feels modern and intuitive. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] worked around our schedule and I cannot fault Maxcontact at all.
Pros
We were setup in a very short period and offered all the help we could need from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the team, it was remarkably easy to get started and for our agents to use, plus MUCH cheaper than competitors who were demanding thousands in "set up " costs.
Cons
Nothing negative, some feature requests for future improvements but 0 negative.

Good system by a good team
Very good. Very rarely any issues and when if there ever has been they're good with their support and resolutions.
Pros
It performs well. Is flexible. Support is readily available whenever needed.
Cons
Nothing really to dislike but if I was being really picky. Wallboard design and widgets could be a bit more intuitive.
Reasons for Choosing MaxContact
It performed better and met our needs the most during our assessments and was well priced.
Reasons for Switching to MaxContact
Outdated software and onsite server coming to end of life.

Great software, has increased our contact centre's productivity
Pros
The implementation of MaxContact was an absolute breeze. Within weeks we were setup and ready to go. Training our team members was also very straight forward as we had the flexibility to make our script look exactly like our previous systems.
Cons
I would like to see more reporting which links campaign information with agent performance.
