The Amazon professional services team worked diligently to address SOW gaps to ensure we were successful in our implementation and launch of the product. They did this without increasing the overall cost of the project or delaying the delivery of the project.

lack a connection to AWS sonic. We have our internal Chatbot, but it’s hard to connect to the existing knowledge base for that chat bot.

Amazon Connect Likes & Dislikes

Like

The agent workspace integrates seamlessly with our on-prem custom applications. Amazon Connect able to take actions to generate documents and initiate processes without human interaction to get our customers what services they were requesting without holding for an agent.

Like

I like the drag and drop feature of it.

Like

Heavy integration with AWS and Amazon infrastructure. Thanks to this, you have access to endless native tools and LLM models through Amazon Bedrock. It has also a nice choice of elevator music options for when your customers are waiting in queue.

Dislike

The discovery prior to implementation could have been more thorough. The implementation team's understanding of the requirements to integrate with our 3rd party application was more difficult than anticipated.

Dislike

I dont like that it does not have the latest AWS sonic model and that I cannot use internal bedrock knowledge base.

Dislike

When you compare it to other CCaaS providers out in the market, you quickly discover that they all have a very big App store/foundry and room for third party applications to be used with the CCaaS. With Amazon, you are essentially forced to use Amazon tools only and can't rely on anything outside from a native standpoint.

    Amazon Connect Enables Native Tool Access But Restricts Third-Party Integrations

    4.0
    Aug 23, 2025
    Amazon Connect is scalable, reliable and an enterprise ready CCaaS provider. It might scare you a bit when you first start to use it. But once you have figured out the architecture and how deeply its tied into AWS infrastructure you can re-use most of your built products here.
