we have to change phones and we need something with good quality and compatible with 3cx system. With Cisco we have found High quality and not difficult to integrate. Also we are thinking to buy Cisco Unified Communication manager to easily maintain and manage the phones, the old vendor did not have this features. We are espanding so have this kind of feature must be taken in consideration

Pros

high quality so clear voice when i speck with clients
easy management using the CUMC software
easy to find in the market
Cisco Support, including forum
a lot of compatible models

Cons

Aesthetics, they seem prehistoric
Add video on basic models
software are complex, fortunally we had 3cx that manage all provisioning
costs can be take down

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for call center, back office.
Not suited for public desk, receptions cause aesthetics (in this case better hide the phone and use a headphones).
With 3cx using the compatibles model, they are easy to implement and you don't have to navigate thru the phone menu.
Not suited for small office, the price are too high, there are less expensive solutions.

Cisco IP Phones is well suited for companies that have a contact center need and are not able to move all their telephony to the edge.

May 29, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cisco IP Phones enable our contact centre agent to have a trusted and reliable standalone device to make and receive calls. Cisco IP phones have the advantage that they are not tied to the users workstation, so if a workstation needs an update or gets busy for a moment, then the call quality does not suffer.

Pros

Make and receive calls
Extension Mobility
Cisco FIPPA

Cons

Easier integration with 3rd Party bluetooth headsets (e.g. Apple AirPods)
Firmware update can sometimes fail and render the phone unusable
A hard reset of the phone can take 5 - 10 minutes

Likelihood to Recommend

1) Cisco IP Phones running FIPPA are very useful for 3rd line developers who need to use 100% of the resources of their workstation on developer activities. This means that the developer can continue to take calls even if his workstation is busy or rebooting.
2) Cisco IP phones are less useful for workers who work from home a few days a week. For those users we would suggest they use Jabber or a similar softphone.
