We are happy to share some insights about LiveVox drawn from our latest market research, Ventana Research Buyers Guide: Contact Center Suites, which assesses how well vendors’ offerings meet buyers’ requirements.
We recently published three Ventana Research 2023 Contact Center Suites Buyers Guides, an assessment of technology vendors and products that provide individual and combined 
contact center and agent management platform support. We developed three technology assessment and buyers guides to focus on overall Contact Center Suites requirements as well as specific Agent Management and Contact Center use-cases.
In all of our Buyers Guides we utilize a structured research methodology called the Value Index that includes evaluation categories designed to reflect real-world criteria incorporated in a request for proposal (RFP) and vendor selection process for contact center suites. We evaluated LiveVox and 21 other vendors in seven categories, five relevant to the product (adaptability, capability, manageability, reliability and usability) and two related to the vendor (TCO/ROI and vendor validation). To arrive at the Value Index rating for a given vendor, we weighted each category to reflect its relative importance in an RFP process, with the weightings based on our experience and on data derived from our benchmark research on contact center suites and agent management.
In the overall Contact Center Suites Buyers Guide, our analysis classified LiveVox as Exemplary, ranking fifth in the overall research with a 71.4% performance. LiveVox’s best performance came in Customer 
Experience at 79.8%, ranking fourth, due in part to its third-place ranking in TCO/ROI. In Product Experience, LiveVox placed sixth at 69.5% due to low performance in Reliability. LiveVox was designated a Leader in TCO/ROI. LiveVox fully participated in the RFI process.
LiveVox’s Product Experience was impacted by its 74.3% performance in Reliability, where it could look to enhance its current performance optimization capabilities. Customer Experience was impacted by its 75.8% performance in Validation, where it could better articulate its product roadmap.
