Analytics in Control Hub allows the administrators to access interactive data visualizations that show important information, such as usage and adoption trends. Explore data as it automatically adapts to parameters that you specify in real time.
UCM Cloud Analytics Overview
The Cisco UCM Cloud Analytics and visualization capabilities allows you to monitor the overall call quality and details of the end-point usage. The Cisco UCM Cloud Analytics visualization and reports gives partners and customers insight into the setup, efficiency, and overall use of their calling devices. Partners and customers can use this insight and reports to drive their decisions.
As a full administrator, read-only administrator, or support administrator of an organization, you have access to various reports in Control Hub, depending on your deployment. You can use this information to evaluate how Cisco UCM Cloud services and devices are being used in your organization and how often. You can use analytics to track and measure services in your cloud collaboration portfolio.
You can export these reports as a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
The Cisco UCM Cloud Analytics displays the Overview cards of all the categories. The Cisco UCM Cloud Analytics cards are categorised based on:
Service Experience
The Service Experience dashboard helps you to analyze the service quality distribution and traffic trends based on number of calls, location, or call duration.
 |
The CMR must provide Severely Concealed Seconds (SCS) values. This is required for grading the quality of the calls. |
The device details for this are collected from the Cisco UCM Cloud and the call quality details are obtained from CDR.
