INTRODUCTION
This FrontRunners analysis is a data-driven assessment identifying products in the Call
Center software market that offer the best capability and value for small businesses. For a given market, products are evaluated and given a score for the capability (x-axis) and value (y-axis) they bring to users. FrontRunners then plots the top 25-30 products in a quadrant format.
In the Call Center FrontRunners infographic, the Capability axis starts at 3.40 and ends at 4.30, while the Value axis starts at 3.30 and ends at 4.60.
To be considered for the Call Center FrontRunners, a product needed a minimum of 10 user reviews, a minimum capability user rating score of 3.5 and a minimum value user rating score of 3.5. In most cases, we evaluate hundreds of products and feature 20-25 as FrontRunners; all products that qualify as FrontRunners are top performing products in their market.

Each product falls within a designated quadrant based on their axis scores. Dependent on the specific needs of the software buyer, a product placed in any quadrant category could be a good fit.
QUADRANT CATEGORIES:
» UpperRight=Leaders:Leaders are all-around strong products. They offer the highest value and capability in that market.
» UpperLeft=Masters: Masters may have fewer capabilities, but end users value those capabilities highly. Depending on the functionality needed, a product positioned in the Masters quadrant might be a better option to consider than products positioned in other quadrants.
» LowerRight=Pacesetters: Pacesetters may offer a strong set of capabilities, but are not rated as high on value. For example, a Pacesetter might have a breadth of functionality at a higher price point.
» LowerLeft=Contenders: Contenders are strong-performing products that have not yet achieved the value and capability of the products in the other quadrants. For example, products in this quadrant may be more suited for companies that need more specialized functionality that comes at a price.

CallCentersoftware helps organizations manage inbound and outbound communications
with customers and prospects across a variety of channels (e.g., voice, live chat, social media). Software Advice’s FrontRunners quadrant is focused on the North American Call Center software market. We identify this set of core capabilities for the Call Center software category: automaticcalldistribution(ACD)withskills-basedrouting,computer-telephonyintegration(CTI),monitor/whisper/bargefunctionalities and callreporting(performancemanagementandanalytics), as well as at least one of the following: callscripting,callrecording,interactivevoiceresponse(IVR) and/or agentUI or desktop.
In addition, we identify several related features that organizations purchasing Call Center software may also need or wish to consider: campaign management, escalation management, voice recognition, knowledge base, live chat, predictive dialer and progressive dialer.

not included for one or more reasons: they did not have enough reviews; they did not meet the reviews score minimum; they did not meet the ultimate Value and Capability minimum scores; or they did not meet our functionality requirements for the market.

Markets are defined by a core set of functionality, and products considered for, and included in, FrontRunners must offer that core set of functionality. Additional related functionality can contribute to the capability score for a product. To qualify for consideration in a FrontRunners quadrant, a product must have a minimum number of unique, user-submitted product reviews across the three Gartner Digital Markets web properties: softwareadvice.com, capterra.com and getapp.com. The minimum number of reviews required per product may differ by category, but will generally be between 10 and 20 unique reviews.
