“Communications and collaboration technologies are increasingly entwining with customer experience platforms,” he said. “This evolution gives staff the benefit of monitoring and keeping track of customer journeys, lead generation and loyalty management without leaving their single pane of glass.”

The best UCaaS vendors recognized by SoftwareReviews have received high scores on the organization’s emotional footprint diamond. It’s based on verified survey data collected from real end-users.

Net Emotional Footprint

The net emotional footprint (NEF) of each software vendor is a result of aggregated emotional response ratings across the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, strategy and innovation. The NEF is an indicator of overall user sentiment toward the vendor and its product from the software user’s point of view.

The 2022 UCaaS software gold medalists are as follows:

• Google Voice, +94 NEF, is ” loved by its customers for its exceptional features.”
• Zoom Phone, +91 NEF, “exceeded user expectations for their smooth implementation process and strategy.”
• Microsoft Teams, +86 NEF, ranked “strongly for web and desktop conferencing.”·
• Cisco Webex Calling, +85 NEF, scored high for including audio transcription services.

“Customers are benefiting from organizations that have fast access to information, as it can offer better issue resolution and provides personalized interactions,” Randall said. “UCaaS vendors moving in line with this trend will push ahead of their competitors, with SoftwareReviews’ UCaaS data quadrant reflecting the current state of this shifting marketspace. Major players in this space are all positioned as market leaders and are investing heavily in their customer experience solutions.”
