    When setting up a new user with a phone. I can call in their support line. They followed me through every step of setting up the new phone. Our office has very specific settings, and our support staff will walk you through the completion. Even do test calls, making sure the user is properly set up for voicemails, faxes, or any type of notifications.

    If an organiziation was fully on Salesforce and rely on that type of routing, I would recommend Vonage to them. They would also need a good support system to be able to build/maintain and manage it as well. If they do not need this or have the bandwidth, I would not recommend this product at all. They also struggled with our billing and could not tell us what they were charging for

    Pros
    RingCentral
    • Chat and Messaging - Conversations are easy to search, topics can be pinned or bookmarked, and groups are easy to create and administer.
    • Phone - The core functionality works very well allowing voice, txt/sms, and faxing for all users. Administration is generally fairly easy as well.
    • Mobile Client - the mobile app offers all of the same functionality as the desktop or web client.
    • Video - Video calls make it easy to share screens with other users and includes a lot of tools for planning.

    • The design of ContactWorld is wonderful, very easy to use and not too busy on the eyes.
    • ContactWorld also makes it easier to find specific clients for specific industries, the groupings of everything are nice and neat and easy to use.
    • ContactWorld has made it much easier for my company to stay on the same page regarding customer information and interest.

    Cons
    RingCentral
    • Customer support is rudimentary. They should improve tier 1 customer support's ability to understand our needs rather than asking customers to reinstall the app
    • Revolving door of account managers, which causes loss of continuity in discussing opportunities
    • Analytics is not complete. Details about faxing and web meetings is missing.

    • Texting issue - I am experiencing a texting issue where a small number of messages are not being delivered. Out of every 100 texts I send, about 4 or 5 fail to deliver. I am not sure what the cause is, but overall, I am satisfied with the service.

    We are grandfathered into our unlimited toll-free minutes plan. We are very unlikely to switch because of that. It has been the major factor saving us a lot of money compared to switching to other solutions. I don't know any other company that still offers these unlimited plans.

    Usability
    RingCentral
    They were working on updating a few of the modules while we were going live, so this made usability difficult to train on once they did go live with those changes. Now that the changes are in place, we have really enjoyed the usability of the platform

    Reliability and Availability
    RingCentral
    I never had a failure. RingEX tests its infrastructure periodically and pushes handset updates automatically without interrupting the user or team's operation. The few issues with offline phones resulted from our internal network, never theirs. Like with all VoIP systems, it's as good as the network. However, using the mobile app means you can always take calls.

    Occasional bandwith issues. In addition to this, I have one individual whose calls are blocked. We were not able to determine whether this was a RingEX or a carrier issue.

    Support Rating
    RingCentral
    Call-in support is fantastic. I have never called in and had it taken more than 30 minutes to resolve our issue. Email support is terrible. You will likely go 24+ hours until you hear back and the response is likely a canned one. I personally prefer the email or chat support option, but find myself calling instead because the email support experience is so poor.

    If someone has an existing system I tell them to keep that running initially and keep RingEX separate initially until the system is configured and tested to one's satisfaction. After testing and configuration is completed, then roll over the main phone numbers to the new RingEX system. I've seen one person who immediately flipped over to RingEX without properly configuring/testing the software and had many issues with missed customer calls until I helped him sort out his configuration.

    RingEX provides better service and features at a competitive price. There really is no comparison between the two solutions. Spectrum Business gives us reliable land line phone service with multiple lines and reliable business internet. Adding new lines is a physical experience with a visit from a spectrum technician. RingEX provides everything we need from the phone system to additional tools like video meetings and conference calling all with a very user friendly application. Adding new lines is just a click away

    Noble was the outgoing system. If you are in the UK, then you find that there is little support from the US function for any challenges you face. It feels like Noble is aware of Salesforce, however it doesn't really integrate with Salesforce. Natterbox also looked like a good product, however I feel they are a little while off being on the same level as New Voice Media. It's worth throwing them in the mix with any consideration though.

    We have 75 users and 85 phones on the system and have yet to have any noticeable outages. The system just works all of the time without issues. Our old VOIP system on Voyant would go out all the time for multiple hours. RingEX is much more stable and reliable.

    • It really put a hold on our move off our PBX. Too many issues with the first group, we had to re-evaluate and pick another solution
    • A lot of lost time in employee productivity and not as efficient on their own
    • Did improve inbound calling to the toll free with optimal routing for customers
