    Cisco business edition are well suited for the environment where we need regular communication as they are easy to dial and has got great features. The product is well suited for both small business and large enterprises. Speed dial, good voice quality are key features of Cisco phones. They are not well suited in scenarios where we do not have LAN connectivity or internet. Sometimes we may face latency and jitteriness which is not good.

    HighQ Collaborate is well suited to situations where a law firm maintains numerous documents for a client and the client needs access to them on a regular basis. For example, we may store the client's minute book (which is relatively common for a large corporate law firm to do), but the client may need access to documents in that minute book on a regular basis. Likewise, we have an internal system at the firm for hosting digital versions of closing books, however, many clients would not have a similar system because they would only receive closing books irregularly. USBs get lost and the client might not want to put the closing book on the main server where anyone can access it. By putting the closing book on the extranet site, the individuals in the client's organization who should be able to access the closing book can do so.

    • Document sharing. This product makes it easy to upload, review and organize documents related to a particular project or matter.
    • Permissions. Collaborate allows very granular permissions to be assigned for shared documents and administrative activities such as workflows.
    • Reliability. The product is cloud-based and rarely, if ever, unavailable.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • More cloud based services need to be added to the default service package.
    • Companies frequently require a small contact center within the UC environment. It would be nice to see a build it contact center in the box.
    • It would be nice to see some advanced AI based services (IVR voice recognition service) in the BE7K application list.
    • Call recording should be also built in.

    • It is just not that exciting. We host documents on there for clients but the extranet sites have ultimately turned out to not be a product that our clients are clamoring for or that we are regularly pushing.

    The interface is easy to use and overall the software seems pretty robust (I haven't had any crashes yet), so I haven't had to use the support very often. Likewise, I don't think I've ever had a client e-mail me with questions or issues - the software is pretty idiot-proof.

    Looking at the feature sets and customer experience overall it's a good investment to make. It provides insights and also gives needed reports and statistics.

    I feel that HighQ does not really have any real competition in this space because it simply accomplishes its goals far better than the competition at lower cost, while requiring less training and administration.

    • It has allowed for mostly smooth communication from department to department/office to office.
    • It allows for saved phone # / last contact to appear quickly.
    • It has allowed for safety warnings/announcements to emerge all across every office so that everyone within the organization is on the same page about events when they occur.

    • Permits fairly simple administration by a single person for hundreds of Extranets
    • One shop stopping for reliable, secure document sharing and signing with external parties
    • Simple enough to use that internal and external users do not need training to take advantage of the product.
