Reviews of Avaya One X Agent, Avaya One X Communicator Certified and compatible headsets.
Possibly you had noticed that Avaya has 2 different soft phones in the One X platform, the One X Agent and the One X Communicator, and had wondered what is the difference between those two and which headset will work the best. Well, we will discuss this and recommend the best headset for your system.
The Avaya One X Communicator is designed for not so skilled staff in a call center, for example management, as they do not require to either transfer calls to dedicated extensions or to use the full directory in an enterprise. While in the Avaya One X Agent, as the name refers it is designed for Call Center skilled staff, as they require to have all the directory and extensions of everyone so if they need to transfer a call to a specific person for a particular inquiry they can hold the call, reach out the extension to verify the person is available, give a brief introduction of the call on hold, direct the call and transfer it. Everything done in a matter of minutes, main reason why they need to be skilled in a call center environment.

A corded option would be the most cost effective, however the user will have to stay at the desk the majority of the time, limiting the movement, while in a wireless option the user can have more mobility with a higher price.
