MiCollab is great for a large office to get users working from home and being able to use their home phone or cell phone like the desk phone at the office. This allows our live operators the ability to see if the end-user is on an active call before sending a new call to them. If you have a very small company of fewer than 10 people this might not be worth the investment as cell phones would work just as well.
Easy deployment to end users, which assists with client deployment. Their email that provides access to download the software via multiple methods helps tremendously on the consulting side.
Easy interface for collaboration and voice. End users like the clean interface and ease of use.
An all-in-one solution for voice and collaboration. It delivers voicemail, chat, voice services, and mobility.
It is easy to you for existig Mitel UC users, who are familiar with the Mitel way of things, but for green field enterprises, might be a ramp up period which in most cases would not be worth it as its competitor TEAMS is much easier and intuity to use.
Support is typically handled by a reseller. Buyers should evaluate the reseller as much as they evaluate Mitel for the product suite. The few times when the reseller was not able to handle the issue directly, Mitel did step up and quickly answer/address the question/issue.
I feel like it's hard to compare them, as the Yealink system we just implemented is a modern VOIP system, whereas the Mitel MiCollab system we had (even though we upgraded it once over the 12-years of usage) still wasn't as user-friendly for us as Yealink now is to us. In our experience, our user support from MetroNet is also lightyears better than that of Integra/Frontier. So that also adds a lot to our Yealink experience.
