Avaya UCaaS vs. West Unified Communications Services (discontinued)

Call centers where lots of calls come in per day are better suited for Cloud office. Small businesses or companies that don’t really make outgoing calls or receive a lot of incoming calls other than within the company would not really be suited for Avaya Cloud Office.

It is well suited in our organization for their large department Monday meetings and meetings such as that. Would not really be needed for a conference call with only 10 people or less attending.

• Avaya has very strong contact center offerings and more contact with our salesperson would be helpful, so we can explore the latest offerings
• Although it's adequate a slightly more intuitive UI would be helpful
• More integrated reporting at the end-user level.

Things change, business requirements change so when we come to renew we may explore other options, we might go all in on Teams or look at something different - we need something that allows us to increase and importantly decrease our licence count more flexably which Avaya / Ring Central don't allow.

There are few times that we have not been able to take advantage of the tool, but those moments are related to the bandwidth of each person in [their] home. Those who have low signal cannot access meetings on the platform smoothly.

Throughout a year and and a half of remote learning, we only experience two minor technology issues that were resolved within an hour

I have never contacted support directly. However, my rep with Enterprise Systems is excellent. Since joining Avaya, all inquiries and/or concerns have always been resolved within a reasonable amount of time. If it's a less complex issue, it is resolved in real time. I receive a response within 30 minutes or less. When he is out of the office, he always has a backup.

Apart from Cisco Webex Calling/app no other vendor offers their own phones hardware, gateways. We need to add other vendors like yealink, Poly, Audiocodes to complete the solution. This makes things very difficult from management perspective. As you have to hire a person who can manage a multivendor environment. Also, in case of outage, multiple bridge open and every vendor blame others. Cisco is costly so we gave a chance to Avaya UCaaS based on its history and reputation in Calling market.

• This made working from home possible, allowing me to take calls that I wouldn't be able to without having them forwarded by our communications department
• It works with Teams, realizing when I'm on a conf call and automatically sets a status of away, preventing my phone from ringing, but allowing me to see the voicemail via text so that I can respond
• If I step out of the office for a little bit, I can have my calls go directly to my cellphone to make sure I'm still available if needed
