Contact Center Software (CCaaS)
Cloud contact-center platforms and the agent-guidance layers that sit on them, covering routing, omnichannel and agent knowledge.
What we cover, and what we don’t
We cover 7 products in Contact Center Software (CCaaS). LivePro, Shelf.io and eGain are on our contact center exclusion list and are absent by policy rather than by oversight. The agent knowledge and agent assist section below sits next to a separate incumbent market — G2's contact centre knowledge base category — whose named leaders are largely unavailable to us for the same reason, so read that section as a partial view of its market and not a ranking of it.
