Why ZIWO Beats Maqsam?

The big three reasons companies choose ZIWO over Maqsam are mainly the following features. This does not mean that Maqsam software does not include them, but users who seek a robust version of these features choose ZIWO!

Call Tracking

While Maqsam has many call management features, some are missing. Call tracking features come at the top of the list, which is present in ZIWO and allows the users to determine how customers find your business. This makes it a powerful tool that serves marketing objectives.

Unified Conversation

A key feature is the ability to manage customer interactions from a single point, providing agents with complete visibility of the entire inquiry or case, regardless of whether it originated as a call or a WhatsApp message, even if they were not initially responsible. ZIWO offers omnichannel communication for a more convenient experience for agents and customers, while Maqsam does not.

Live Dashboard

A contact center software could be an input tool that gathers data from customers’ interactions, agents’ activities, and admins’ actions. However, it should be an output tool that helps admins track performance and lets agents monitor activities. Maqsam has dashboard capabilities, but it is not fully customized from the admin’s side as ZIWO.

What Makes You Switch From Maqsam to ZIWO?

While Maqsam may be a good solution for small businesses, it may not be able to keep up with the demands of a growing business. Call center supervisors and business owners have reported that Maqsam might be a good software for small businesses, but in case you need to grow your business soon, other solutions, like ZIWO, might be more convenient.

Voice Quality

A call center should efficiently respond to all customers’ needs, especially when the incoming call volume increases. Many Maqsam users have dealt with voice-related issues, which frustrated customers and did not help agents deliver the expected professional service.

Technical Support

You might face an issue throughout your business journey with any digital solution. The thing is, what is the effect of this issue, and how much time does it last? The technical support team should be the primary factor in dealing with such problems. Numerous users have complained about the response rate and the efficiency of the solutions delivered by Maqsam support.
