AT&T Office@Hand vs. RingCentral Video

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. AT&T is simply the worst company I have ever dealt with for any service. Ever. I have spent hours on hold trying to explain that my newly purchased AT&T phones from Yealink do not work. "Searching for base". That is all I get. After several attempts to figure out what is going on or why or how to fix I am still without working office phones. I finally got thru to someone that informed me that my phones were removed from my account. I offered the order number to prove I did in fact purchase the phone's from AT&T but they could not use this information. It is unsettling how this could happen and I cannot fix it. I have been deleted. I know I am not alone in my frustration. I will now begin working on removing AT&T from my life. Including the shotting Fiber Optic line at home and at work

I've never had any technical difficulties while participating on a RingCentral Video meeting. One thing that was cumbersome was when they migrated from RingCentral Meetings to RingCentral Video, it was a bit labor intensive to migrate existing meetings, so that could have been easier.

• [I think] they do nothing well.
• They do not respond timely, and they fix very few issues.
• I had to go out and hire an IT person just so he could do their job for them.
• They could not even port our numbers correctly.
• They lost two of my numbers.
• I have lost thousands of dollars in business because of them.

• One click solution to conduct video calls and conferences.
• Intuitive UI and great app to view call recordings, run reports and analyse call data.
• Easy to set up and adopt quickly.

• Terrible customer service
• Many advanced features that most now want are not developed yet
• No Voicemail to text or even as an attachment to emails so getting voicemail remotely is horrible/difficult

• Only a rudimentary add-in for Outlook if using on-prem Exchange
• Bugs in screen sharing that include an "application was minimized" error and the inability to share audio from a pre-recorded video
• No simple way to join a RingCentral Video from the phone app without typing in the exact meeting ID, which can be tedious.

Simply the worst customer service I have ever experienced. It took me over 72 minutes to write this review. That is how long I have been on hold unsuccessfully. I cannot imagine that anyone in charge of AT&T would care that I will gladly take my business elsewhere but if you do... someone in the system has my contact information. I won't hold my breath.

Easy to use once it has been set up and onboarded with your company. Once you learn how to use all of the various features and dial out to other countries, it is a great product and in my opinion, superior to some of its competitors on the market currently.

Selected AT&T due to name recognition. Some other vendors had much superior systems but CEO demanded name recognition. Lesson learned that name does mean better service.

We selected RingCentral for calling and we got RingCentral Video as part of the bundle. We thought we could reduce costs by using RingCentral for both calling and meetings. However, RingCentral Video is simply not a mature platform for meetings. Other options are better, which makes RingCentral calling a less attractive option.

• I wish I had never switched from my local VOIP phone provider
• Office at Hand is a mistake I wish I'd never made

• It helps us create a better picture of the goals and updates that we need to do to our everyday activities, not relying on emails that may or may not be clear.
• It's easy for everyone to join and we can coach in a more personal way.
