Avaya UCaaS vs. Zoom Phone

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.

I think it works well for offices that have multiple locations. Being able to give each person and office their own extension makes it easier for colleagues to connect with each other, plus it's a costs savings for each of the offices

• User-friendly GUI management interface with the possibility to create different rooms, notebooks, calendars, and chats.
• The management interface for recordings is made in the rooms with the possibility of downloading them to the location.
• Link and file sharing with other participants.
• Chat with all participants and individual.

• Transcribes voicemails. Great for those verbose folks that leave long voicemails.
• Loud and clear volume quality! Great in a busy office with lots of people talking.
• Easy to keep track of who has called me. Has Caller ID which is helpful.

• 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.

• We needed to link each of our team members' personal emails to the Zoom account so we have to filter VM notifications out of our personal accounts.
• It'd be nice if you could set business hours through the webpage to include a lunch break so that you don't have to manually go in to edit.

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.

Integrated into our network. System wide access. Staff are comfortable with the product

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.

Zoom Phone has a very sleek design which makes it very easy to operate and use both in the setting up of and interacting in a meeting space. That being said, certain features can seem a bit crowded while trying to screen share or display video which somewhat defeats the purpose of the application as compared to a standard conference call.

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

We have not been faced to any performance issue.

The Customer Service and Representatives are always kind and willing to go the extra mile to get anything resolved. Yet, we have not really needed them after the initial set up since the product actually works and we have not really experienced any major issues.

Support have been great during the time for implementing Zoom Phones to our team of 50 people. There were times where they kept supporting us through links but more and more we had actual people getting back to us via emails so we are very happy overall. The product is so great, too.

whilst on site it was delivered by teams to the desks , not the fault of the trainer

The online training was clear and effective.

Thank to the help of Avaya implementation team, the migration was done with minimal impact. All activities were well defined and done in time.

We used Weave for less than two years. It didn't have any performance tracking capability, and it could not handle our call volume. Once the call volume reached a specific peak, incoming patient calls would automatically drop, which negatively impacted the organization. Thus, our decision to move forward with Avaya was solidified.

Price point was about the same but Zoom included more features for the price. Also the ISO mobile app was better. We were also about to drop Calendly and save some money using the native Zoom app.

It fits us well being in multiple geographic areas and we can purchase local numbers or do a BYOD SBC setup

• Moving on cloud calling did save us on costs of managing on-prem infra
• Since Avaya UCaaS has its own make phones and gateways it saves on support costs due to multiple vendors
• It lacks many third party integrations available in MS teams, this makes making workflows difficult

• Zoom Workplace has had a positive effect on out business by combining meetings and phones in one place.
• The collaboration has been better with our staff being hybrid.
• The Zoom Workplace platform has been more that I expected to pay, but the customer service is outstanding.
