Easy implementation. Just a few lines of code.
Custom numbers for area codes (we have one in each different city).
Cost effective. Very cheap not only for a number (about $1 or so per number per month) but also for sending out automated SMS.
Good overview dashboards to see activity, send rates, and deliverability.
Number verification (so the text that makes you input a code) something we haven't used but will be adding in in the near future.

Cons

Avaya could use some improvement in moving calls off the system when they have arrived at a far destination. This is a technical point and will not be often encountered by users or most technicians and really is no fault of Avaya but crossing over into local telephone systems around the world would be a great advantage.
The methods for interacting with some of the menus are rather involved. The system is highly complex but at this time it is mature enough to start bringing all the control features under one roof rather than through three separate interfaces.

There is some latency when calling international phone numbers.
You are charged for both incoming and outgoing calls so your costs can go up quite quickly depending on usage.
VoIP laws come into the picture depending on where you are located. You may need to get your IP whitelisted by your provider to allow VoIP calls within your location if this is the case for you. Would be great if Twilio could assist with this aspect.

Likelihood to Renew

Avaya OneCloud CCaaS 8.0

Based on 13 answers

I am really not the decision maker on this subject but given the cost of the investment in Avaya, I do not see the company not renewing the use of Avaya. The new licensing model no longer requires expensive upgrades to stay current with new features added to the system and really helps with the cost of investment.

Usability

Avaya OneCloud CCaaS 8.0

Based on 6 answers

I find Avaya easy to use but I am not a beginner. I think it is much more difficult for beginners unless the administrator has some basic programming skills. The system is getting more difficult to use but I enjoy learning and haven't found myself stumped yet.

Twilio 9.0

Based on 1 answer

It really cannot get much easier. Simply sign in, verify the device and off you go. I have found Authy to be very easy and almost identical across all the devices I use. I am disappointed about the slow update process. Authy could use some updating, but I have not seen it yet.

I've never had to contact Authy's support. Of course, that's because Authy is so simple and easy to use that there hasn't been any need to. Authy correctly implements the time-based one-time password (TOTP) protocol, and becomes it conforms to the standard, it easily replaces Google Authenticator for your needs.

Alternatives Considered

There are other vendors out there, Cisco, Mitel, Shortel, etc.... We also sell Panasonic systems. Panasonic fills a gap/price point for the businesses that wants to rely on us to manage their phone system, and get their foot in the door with a phone system. The Panasonic from an administration side can be rough on a system administrator trying to do their own MAC work. Cisco and the others all have their benefits, and drawbacks. Each have their own pricing and feature models, so it is really a wash in a matter of speaking until you get into the realm of support, licensing, and integrating with 3rd party vendors.If you do need to rely on a 3rd party vendor to integrate with your AVAYA solution, if the vendor is a Dev Connect partner you know it will work. Avaya spends weeks with vendors testing and creating documentation on how to integrate a multitude of solutions with their partners. Other competitors are lacking in this department.

Google Authenticator — There's no contest here, Authy feels like a much better choice. It's much easier to recover from a lost phone, and it's one less Google app on my phone.1Password — This is actually the next product we plan to evaluate; it's more promising for sharing accounts across multiple users.

Return on Investment

Once purchased and running, you don't need to worry about it for years.
Support price is following the other companies. Price is good.
When you need to upgrade it the cost can grow fast as most of the time you need to replace hardware.

Our ROI was improved compared to our previous providers. Twilio Voice fees are very reasonable comparing with similar alternatives.
We can add easily new phone numbers for as little as US$1 for newcomers and offices, just with the click of a button inside Twilio admin console.
