Avaya OneCloud UCaaS vs. MiVoice Office Application Suite (Mitel Application Suite)

On Avaya OneCloud UCaaS I could participate in meetings in a few seconds by just entering the room URL and the password created by the administration. It is cross-platform; it can work on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and IOS and is accessed through the browser. It also allows you to enter the room using a conventional telephone by dialing a number. Guests do not need to register for Avaya OneCloud UCaaS and only need to enter their names. I don't see any access and configuration difficulties, and it can be used by anyone and any company.

Mitel is useful for larger organizations where instant messaging can be used throughout departments and in-house phones need to be set to cell phones. I wouldn't say that it's not appropriate for smaller organizations, but they might not need all of the robust features that Mitel offers. The user experience is extremely intuitive and organizations of any scale will be able to easily navigate it.

• User-friendly GUI management interface with the possibility to create different rooms, notebooks, calendars, and chats.
• The management interface for recordings is made in the rooms with the possibility of downloading them to the location.
• Link and file sharing with other participants.
• Chat with all participants and individual.

• Call reporting
• Voicemail system and transfers: This is one of my favorite features! I am able to transfer voicemails and leave notes for my team. It also comes in an email notification.
• Integrated with our email system.

• Avaya has very strong contact center offerings and more contact with our salesperson would be helpful, so we can explore the latest offerings
• Although it's adequate a slightly more intuitive UI would be helpful
• More integrated reporting at the end-user level.

• It would be nice if they had more documentation on how to do things within the system that was easier to find.
• The software has so many features that it can be overwhelming.

Avaya Spaces is easy to use and provides a friendly and intuitive interface to create and manage meeting rooms called Spaces. We created one for each IT area within our department. It's easy to add a password for privacy and invite other colleagues with an email invitation or direct link. During the meeting, the icons are intuitive to activate and deactivate the camera and microphone as well.

We have never had problems with Avaya Spaces instabilities or inoperability. I believe the Avaya server is Tier3 with 99.9% availability. The meeting rooms are always active and can be accessed from anywhere and from any device because it has an official app on Android and iOS. I do not recommend going through the browser in meeting rooms because the experience is not so positive.

The software is really great, the only problem being the integration with email platforms like Outlook. It is necessary to create a plugin to optimize the invitation experience. But I have nothing to complain about the rest. It's perfect, the experience during the meetings and the audio and image quality are differentiated and with excellent quality. Avaya Spaces works great on PC, web and apps and gives us a lot of mobility.

The support is good. Avaya is one of the largest companies in this area of ​​unified communications. Support can be activated by phone and email. Our team has already triggered a few times and from what they told me everything was normal and fast. The price is a little expensive but I believe it is worth buying together for more security.

Great technical support. My only recommendation would be to have staffed support after hours. They have an after hours answering service and while the technicians always called back it would be good to reach support immediately 24/7. Technicians are very knowledgeable and helpful as is their sales staff. They also have great training to take.

I find Avaya Business Communications Manager to be reliable, easy to use and priced right. The competition is either new to the format or the billing is too high. I prefer Avaya because of their position in the industry as a leader in telecommunications. I use their product and it consistently has shown the ability to grow into ever larger arenas of operability with great success.

In retrospect, Mitel was not the right solution for us but it has sufficed while we look for a replacement that integrates with our CRM. Skype for Business was being phased out, we were currently using RingCentral, and we anticipated the conversion back to ShoreTel (we had a hosted environment in the past) would be similar to our previous experience with the system. The Cloud-based software and technology, however, did not meet up to the hosted environments capabilities, at least when it came to call-management

The pricing is fair. In this day in age, you tend to get what you pay for. Good products and services that are reliable and efficient come at a cost and this cost was fair

• Single number reach has helped our operations team to be connected anytime required.
• Management team is with Mobile client where decision making is quick and no calls are lost as mobile is available all the time.
• Voice Quality is extremely good and helps in getting many ppl in conference with ease.
• Voicemail system is used to leave important message when not available and Call Back feature is extremely great.

• Efficient, easy to use conference system for better communication
• Useful mobile app to allow employee presence while out of office.
• Global directory removed the need for employees to maintain one.
