Alcatel-Lucent Rainbow vs. Webex Connect

The main "power" of Rainbow is the hybrid model, to mix traditional telephony and the new way of communicating
Rainbow is used in our company by "mobile" people who need to communicate easily with fixed telephones. For an emergency in a subway station, communications are very important and Rainbow provides everything we need for such communications.

I feel that Webex Connect has always been a great companion for me and our company's teams. They have provided us with exceptional support and significantly improved our business communication with our teams and clients, which is directly reflected in our business numbers.

I would rate a solid 9 in case of usability as it does its work perfectly without any lacks and delays, we are using it for almost 3 years now and have not faced any major bug or issue with it. along with that it's easy to construct a Flow end to end where you just drag and drop icons to make the nodes working together with each other and as well as its learning curve is very simple and can be used by a non tech person also.

Teams have better collaboration features than Rainbow, but for companies like the one I worked for, hybrid communication is essential and Teams can't provide all the phone features we need to work.
Rainbow does a good job for the people who work for our company

It doesn't stack against software like Teams - although Teams does have its own faults. Teams streamlines the communication between users, while Webex Connect feels outdated and is very glitchy. It is an ordeal to use Webex Connect when compared to Teams or even other similar applications. I do not recommend Webex Connect.
