    Chose Avaya IP Office
    I've evaluated Cisco and Mitel as well. So from the phone system, while feature functionalities, they've all do some of the same things. The biggest benefit of the IP office is that it is hybrid. You can do digital analog and IP all out of the same box, the same telecom system.

    So it's sold and targeted at small and medium enterprises, which is pretty perfect. So it maxes out at 2000 phones. You're never going to go bigger than that. It's probably by price, one of the cheapest phone systems out there. It fits really well in a dentist's office and a small medical office. It fits well in retail stores that are not part of a chain. So, independent shops, the general small business category, if it's a brand that's only in your neighborhood, that's one of the few spots where you can still sell an on-premise phone system, is for those types of folks. I've always recommended it to small businesses. I've got some family members, too, who have these in their own small businesses by my recommendation, and they love them. And I'm going to use the word cheap, the system's not cheap, but the pricing is pretty wildly low in a good way. So it's a stable machine. My recommended use cases are usually for small businesses. I would not put it anywhere that needs high availability, though. That's that.

    NICE CXone Mpower offers a great suite of products and tools appropriate for contact centers. It is a one stop shop for all of the monitoring, scheduling, reporting, and quality tools a large or small contact center may need. It is very feature rich and has many components, some of which we haven't even grown to adopt yet but may in the near future.

    Pros
    Avaya
    • So my favorite thing that it does well is the mobile client. It's very easy to use to access my contacts as if I'm sitting at my desk in the office. I can send text messages to other parties within my department as well. So that's the best thing. Staying in touch even though I'm not sitting at my desk.

    Cons
    Avaya
    • Rush for updates. At times an updated will fix one problem, and inadvertently create another. However with due diligence from your business partner (Tektivity) patches are tested before being rolled out in production environments.
    • Part itemization. If you purchase a new system, the power cord does not come with the unit, that is a separate part. Very minor in the grand scheme of things but as a reseller and a customer still somewhat annoying.
    • Large convoluted organization. As a user trying to navigate the AVAYA website, and track down information can be daunting. Even calling support can be challenging, you never know if your call will be routed to India, Brazil, or Denver. That is why the relationship with Tektivity is so important. You can leverage your business partner to get the answers you need so you can spend your time tackling issues that need your attention.

    Oddly enough I have been impressed with the IP Office platform so much that I have integrated one into my home. My wife was not happy with it initially but once she started using it she was very happy with the results. It helped that I programmed it to work just like a home phone but with features and options that I can utilize remotely. I would be more than happy to put an AVAYA IP Office against any other phone system on the market, and let you be the judge.

    Nice made it possible for employees to work from anywhere with access to the internet, it made it possible to extract data from contacts in a very thorough way. In addition, the meticaes can be fully customized and the day-to-day monitoring of the operation is more visible.With nice, contacts with clients abroad became easier.

    Avaya
    Avaya IP Office is a great system that is somewhat affordable for most SMB's. However, In our experience, Avaya IP Office has a tendency to shelve some of the license as you upgrade the software release on the PBX switch without giving back any comparable license to compensate. The Voicemail Pro license is quite expensive and most of the functionality that most business needs are not covered in the standard voicemail offering.

    The lack of written SOPs makes some features (WFM / Performance management) very difficult to use. The training provided by NICE is extensive, but it's hard to remember everything shared in the hour. We spend so much time on the platform just trying to figure out how to use the features; it would be much easier with written instructions and screenshots.

    inContact only allows specific users to contact them for support. Even though I use the product daily and it accounts for a large amount of my workload, I still have to contact an authorized user to create an incident. These users are managers and their schedules are very busy. This can result in delays in incidents being opened and resolved.

    Much better feature set with Avaya IP Office, and I really feel you're getting feature-rich telephony for a well priced switch. The system is very adaptable and a much better fit than legacy key systems and cloud-based UCaaS solutions competing in the same market. With the Avaya brand behind the system, there is also a form of working with a Trusted partner with many years in the UC space.

    When it comes to this specific situation (cell centers) NICE definitely has an ADP beat. The analytics, scheduling, and forecasts are extremely well-tailored for this situation. ADP has a more comprehensive solution in my opinion - I feel their UI and mobile app are also more user-friendly. But in terms of performance management functionality, NICE has a more robust system and is able to create additional metrics if we need them When I used ADP there were no custom options available.

    • CAPEX vs OPEX
    • Number of phones needed as well as other features need to be considered to determine if Avaya IP Office fits best.
