When you have a small team, this works best. because you can't pay like a big organisation but still need the same features. OpenTeam brings us the best features of call-centre software, but at a cut price that we can afford and create revenue upon. This is an essential software, if anything.

If you get less than 4 phones you fall into the online only customer service. There were a couple of times that I could have used more assistance but figuring it out online was a bit of a hassle.

8x8 has a much lower cost that avaya for the same features. 8x8 is a bit more user friendly than some other larger well established brands. It still uses industry standards in terminology and call flows to for anyone with voip experience its a pain free switch to make over.

We choosed OpenText TeamQ instead of acmatel CCS because of its simple nature. Acmatel CCS was having limited feature with call tracking support. Also, OpenText TeamQ is one of the better tool when you consider the fact of consistency in calling support. I am totally grateful that I had choosen this tool for our business demand.
