    Cisco Business Edition 6000 (BE6000) is well suited on small and medium sites that need entry-level voice and IP telephony capabilities, together
    with powerful, easy-to-use collaboration tools. However , if a single user interface or VMware servers are deal breakers for you, I suggest another call system will likely be a better fit.

    It's well suited for sales and support environments where you need to give live coaching or real time feedback to your team members. It also helps when you have to take some strategic decisions, specifically if you are working in. support environments to identify trends, spikes in call volume, etc, and the virtual receptionist is a great help, too when the call volume is higher. For me in sales it helps with live monitoring, auto-transcript of calls, call tagging etc.

    • Ability to do live monitoring of calls whenever I need to provide real time feedback to my team members as it also ensures smooth interaction
    • Liked the option of auto-transcription whenever I am in a hurry and need just basic transcript of what happened on the call
    • Call Analytics is also great for you to help identify trends, and get some granular data points for making some strategic decisions

    Overall, the product provides excellent value for money. Our employees may interact at the same time on the Cisco Business Edition 6000 without disrupting the conversation. We have a significant number of employees that perform the same thing with calls, texting, and presence, and none of them have an issue.

    Both Mitel and [Cisco Business Edition 6000 (BE6000)] allow the benefit of virtualization. If desired you could have an entirely virtual system. Cisco handles the virtualization a little better, however Mitel MiCollab is easier to integrate presence and calls. Cisco underlying architecture seems to be a little more stable, Mitel seems to be a little more user friendly. There are pros and cons and both are good solutions.

    I am not a decision maker who decides whether to buy a software or not but yes Krispcall has a lot of advantages compared to other vendors in the similar lines and one of them is it being cost efficent.
