Performance of Amazon Connect Across Market Features

Amazon Connect Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like how Amazon Connect is able to detect personal identifying information and filter it out of the call transcriptions, this saves a lot of time. The call routing flexibility is simple to set up as well. In general, the system is very intuitive and easy to manage call queues.

Like

Cloud based and easy to deploy. Highly scalable and flexible. Pay as you go pricing model. Strong integration. Continuous feature enhancements. Reliable performance and availability.

Like

- strong scalability and flexibility for different workloads - wide range of services under one ecosystem - high reliability and global infrastructure

Dislike

I dislike how much blank space there is on some screens, as it makes the tool seem like it's not very built out. It would be nice if there were additional functionalities to control volume input and output directly within Connect. Lastly, there could be way more reporting about interaction data directly in the app.

Dislike

Requires customer education for first time users. Can limit customization in some advanced scenarios. Can sometimes depend on the AWS ecosystem. Reporting and analytics can require additional set-up.

Dislike

- pricing can be confusing and sometimes unpredictable - steep learning curve for new users - support response time varies depending on plan
