Bright Pattern Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

After evaluating all the known solutions from the big boys - we found the Bright Pattern solution to be the most innovative and disruptive solution. Pretty much everything and all feature we wanted is out-of-the-box. And where we needed to integrate the IVR and the other workflows with our CRM, the open API's and pre-built integrations made the task super easy and seamless. The web based admin portal...

Perhaps improve on the UC aspects of the platform.

I have been using this software for several years now and each release continues to add value to the platform. I have implemented Bright Pattern for multiple contact centers including those using contracted BPO call centers. The platform is easy to use and simple to train others to use. This includes the call flow (scenario) development interface. It is all web based so no special tools or software...

I don't have too many dislikes about Bright Pattern as a contact center solution. I do have some enhancements that I think could be added to further improve the functionality. I would like to see some sort of scenario flow for inbound email to customize and build a screen pop. I feel like this functionality in inbound chat and voice flows is powerful and I would like that same capability with handling emails. I would also like to see the built in knowledge base tool expanded to support both email and chat and allow for auto file attachments to emails and chat responses. This would improve an agents handling time for each customer interaction.

I like that when request come in the queue they disappear when someone is working on the request. Also that it has a trail of the completion status. The last person that worked on it.

I do not like the thread of the email chain for the software. It is very confusing and misguiding. I also do not like how we compose a new email. Not easy to use and take to much effort for something that should be simple. Another con is you can not revisit a case just for information after it has been closed with out reopening.

It is an extremely robust, while easy to use software. It can handle massive telephony centers with ease while maintaining competitive telco charges. There is an excellent in hours customer support center that has gone to bat for us time and time again. The scenario builder will allow anyone with a basic knowledge of telephony to easily program any time of campaign. Their Development team is consistently looking to improve their software and will often reach-out/receive feedback on what features should be brought in.

Pricey. One of the big hang ups we have with Bright pattern is that were not quite to a place where Omi-channel telephony can be fully utilized and so I feel that I pay for my features/channels I do not use Some features are rather rudimentary like the built in QA software, or auxiliary state controls After hours support feels redundant and doesn't seem to reduce wait times on urgent tickets Carrier Trouble ticket reporting can be hairy

I love the omnichannel support. I was able to design an outbound dialing program that incorporates telephone calls, automated voicemails, SMS messaging, and email. This approach took my contact rate from ~35% to 61% last month! I could have have accomplished this with out the creativity and expertise of the support staff, they are very knowledgeable about their product and very willing to help with solutions.

It seems to be better designed for a small number of large dialing campaigns as opposed to a large number of small campaigns, but this is likely an issue across predictive dialing platforms. When I am testing new campaigns that only send 100 or so leads each day, it is often more beneficial to manually dial them in 'Preview' mode rather than set up dialing rules and unique campaigns because having one or two agents assigned to several small campaigns often makes the dialer "choke" for lack of a better word. I have also had some integration issues with our CRM, but again I do not believe that 100% (or any percent, to be honest) a reflection of Bright Pattern as much as it is on our CRM software.
