Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our employees travel frequently, and sometimes work any of the 24 hours a day, so having a unified communications platform that is reliable and easily accessible is important to us. Out tech support folks appreciate the uptime reliability and our management appreciates the fair cost of use. We found implementation to be facile and later support to be excellent.

Pros

  • Clear quality of service
  • easy implementation
  • good return on investment

Cons

  • None - great product that does all we need it to do and more

Return on Investment

Cons

Return on Investment

  • The software is much easier to use and administrate than previous offerings on the same platform offering a better customer experience.
  • Updates made to the back end are not well communicated and sometimes cause unexpected behavior as a result.
