Simply the best call center software available today

I've been in the industry of call centers for over 20 years. During this time I've seen all kind of solutions: starting by the commercial (and expensive) ones and the free/open source ones. They all have their flaws and whistles. As a professional consultant I have to say that the commercial ones, in the mid to long road, they end absorbing a huge part of the profit. The open source ones help leverage the cost but they need a lot of time to tweak and to integrate; this time is also money. But in between those scenarios, I was able to find xCALLY call center software. You can run xCALLY on your premises or hosted on the cloud on a dedicated or virtual server. The initial setup is very easy and quick. xCALLY comes with its professional softphone (they call it phone bar) which immediately takes off the burden of purchasing softphones or using the limited version of the free ones. xCALLY is agent-oriented and with at least 30 KPIs it's very easy to measure and evaluate agent's performance. On top of that xCALLY comes with a visual IVR designer. For those Call Center managers that love visual stuff xCALLY has the technology to design and deploy powerful IVRs in very simple steps; IVRs can be connected even with external data sources. For Supervisor, xCALLY allows to create a dashboard on the fly and present real-time information of many statutes and variables. Predictive Dialing? Yes. xCALLY features a powerful dialer that can run multiple campaigns at the same time. The latest version of xCALLY adds multichannel support. With the multichannel version is possible to queue events coming from SMS, Chat, Fax, Mail and many more. I can testify that customers migrating from open source solutions such as GoAutoDial, ViciDial as well as commercial solutions such as Five9 and 8x8 are very satisfied with xCALLY. But xCALLY does not end there. xCALLY also offers integration with top name CRMs such as Salesforce, vTiger, ZenDesk and many more. Having a pop-up window when a call comes in or being able to call with the click of the mouse in a web browser is possible thanks to their Trigger feature. So when it comes to a very mature and honest call center software I always recommend my customers xCALLY. Their latest version, Motion, is all what IT, Managers, Supervisors, and Agents would expect from a professional call center solution.

Pros

It's a truly call center solution out of the box.
It may be used as an IP PBX too.
Works on-premise or on the cloud.
It comes with its own Softphone.
It has a predictive dialer.
Can be integrated for pop-windows with any CRM.

Cons

It's software so origination and termination services are not included but that's not an issue. The guys from LinkedIP can bundle it all together.

xCally Shuttle - Fast, light weight and easy to use!

We run over 20 call centers utilizing multiple legacy, proprietary telephone switches. By switching to xCally, we have been able to shut down these switches, convert all of our PRI's to SIP circuits and improve our DR substantially! Shuttle has a fantastic GUI, programming in the visual IVR (cally square) is easy and allows you to build complex call routing rules quickly. xCally has been a great and has always provided us with outstanding support and they are quick to add features (unique to the Telephone Answering Service industry). Having come from the Avaya world, I have found it much easier to deploy xCally as it takes less than a day to setup and have fully operational (taking calls) whereas in the Avaya world, it takes weeks if not months to get their switch fully built, programmed and functional. xCally is consistently updating their product and they are quick to implement new features and fixes. I look forward to working with their new multi-channel version (xCally Motion) as it utilizes asterisk 13 and now gives the ability to manage voice, email, SMS, web chat and faxing, all from one unified environment!

Pros

Fast, light weight GUI, easy to install and maintain. Excellent visual IVR designer.

Cons

Some features like agent to agent recording not available.

xCALLY a Must Have for any Call Center

Before we started using xcally, we were have challenges with our previous application as it could not seamlessly handle the blended nature or our call center. But with xcally we can now do that and also do the following: Manage the inbound and outbound call channel effectively using the flexible and effective Queue Management xCALLY solution provides. Build simple and extremely complex IVR with ease using xCALLY's powerful drag and drop cally square tool to build IVR. Integrate other databases and other CRM application like Zendesk to further enhance the Contact Center Experience. Build custom reports and also taking advantage of xCALLY in-built reports which helps them make business decisions and meet business needs. In Summary, If you are looking for a Call Management Solution that would best meet your business need? Then try xCALLY. We have been privileged to have used the solution for over two years now and all I can is xCALLY is a must have for any customer service department of any business ranging from small to large scale Call Centers - You get the best support on the solution and you get the best value for your money.

Pros

What I like most about the application is the Cally Square. Because that has made IVR design and implementation very easy.

Cons

What I like least in the application is the generalization of information on the IVR. I want to be able to deferential the dashboard report for different unit of the business even though they are using same application

Olivetti Customer Care

Pros

XCally is a great solution for our activities! It provides specialized functions for our Contact Center Agents activities and a great UI too, both for Agents and for Supervisors. One of the best thing about XCally is that you don't need IT people in order to configure queues, agents and even simple IVR.. We use XCally mainly for handling Voice Phone Calls but we use also the Omnichannel Chat module, which provides a good level of customization and activities monitoring capabilities (using the Realtime environment and the Analytics). We are using XCally from 5 years now and each time we need to upgrade it for a new channel it takes us very little time!

Cons

nothing special, it’s a good solution for all our requirements and needs

Great value for money to manage top-notch customer service

I first used XCally as the CEO of ZALORA Group, with Customer Support Centers in 6 countries and hundreds of CS Reps. XCally integration with ZenDesk, its ease of use and its value for money made it a clear top choice. When I left ZALORA to found StashAway, XCally was the obvious choice to empower our Customer Engagement Team. I have recommended XCally to several other entrepreneurs and senior managers in South East Asia.

Pros

- Ease and simplicity of use (easy to train many CS reps)
- Integration with Zendesk
- Ability to manage multicountry easily
- Reliability
- Value for money

Cons

- Not many

XCally

Pros

- Work very well on Cloud based Services such AWS
- Easy to install and scalable
- User Friendly and solid client phonebar software
- Asterisk based, therefore integration with any telco provider not an issue
- Cally Square (IVR Module) is one of the powerful tools which allow us to do CTI integration easily and support build of complex IVR structure within short amount of time.

Cons

- The tech-support could be a little bit slow in response sometime, however this is due to different time zone as we are SEA based company.

A very fast evolving Contact Center solution that follows the latest technology trends.

Pros

The Contact center software is very flexible, extensible and applicable to many situations, where a traditional call center would fail

Very user friendly and awesome look in terms of design
Many integration possibilities with existing customer care systems
Very strong development team with many additions and suggestions implementing to the software on a regular basis
Awesome communication experience with customer support and sales teams

Cons

As everything in the world, it is not ideal. But it is the closest to ideal in terms of price and functionality/quality you can get.

An excellent fit for our support desk calling needs

Pros

The support is out of this world. The xCally support professional who has handled our implementation and issues is exceptionally personable, expert and responsible. I've worked with a wide range of support teams, and there's a lot of good people out there, but there's no one like Felice!

Cons

Minor point/fix suggestion: When you clone a IVR in Cally Square, you need to reassign values (i.e., for sound files) in the cloned IVR, so if the IVR is complex, this can be a chore.

What a great value for money platform! Definitely what you aspire to run your CS!

Pros

We have been using Xcally for the past 5 years across 8 different geographies. Integrated into a cloud base ticketing system and enjoyed it's great scalability, inter-operability across system and all this at a very competitive pricing. No downtimes, limited upgrades, bug-less.

Cons

nothing major. normal ramp up period to get all the proper integration across the cloud systems going but have been very smooth since then. great support also always demonstrated from the Xenilab team.
