Likelihood to Recommend Call centers where lots of calls come in per day are better suited for Cloud office. Small businesses or companies that don’t really make outgoing calls or receive a lot of incoming calls other than within the company would not really be suited for Avaya Cloud Office.
Read full review RingEX is a great solution if you want reliability and flexibility. We can trust that our phones are just going to work when we need them. Our users love the ability to be able to use the app on their mobile phones or computers when they are on the go. The ability to review the call logs makes troubleshooting very easy. The call quality is also very good.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review VOIP calling - call quality is excellent and has replaced our traditional landline phones Video meetings - video quality is great(provided you have a good webcam) and the video features(multiple hosts, screen sharing, multiple room management) is 2nd to none. Screen sharing - As an unexpected benefit, the ability to do a screen share has helped our IT crew in being able to remotely diagnose and fix problems with faculty or staff machines. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Pricing for SMB space is high compared to other solutions Still lagging behind 8x8 with desk phone support and integrations UI for managing Limited Extensions is significantly more cumbersome than user extensions Video meeting software still lags behind industry leaders (such as Zoom and MS Teams) No licensing option for Common Area Phones with routing features Read full review Likelihood to Renew I would like to have better communication with the support teams and do not want to have to port to a new system.
Read full review We are grandfathered into our unlimited toll-free minutes plan. We are very unlikely to switch because of that. It has been the major factor saving us a lot of money compared to switching to other solutions. I don't know any other company that still offers these unlimited plans.
Read full review Usability There are few times that we have not been able to take advantage of the tool, but those moments are related to the bandwidth of each person in [their] home. Those who have low signal cannot access meetings on the platform smoothly.
Read full review They were working on updating a few of the modules while we were going live, so this made usability difficult to train on once they did go live with those changes. Now that the changes are in place, we have really enjoyed the usability of the platform

Read full review It is quite reliable, we have the support of being able to identify failures and escalate it, also monitor the failures that are posted on the web about the status of the failures and evolutions. Its easy start-up and access allow us to have better performance and productivity, which in the long run turns into benefits.
Read full review Performance We have not been faced to any performance issue.
Read full review Occasional bandwith issues. In addition to this, I have one individual whose calls are blocked. We were not able to determine whether this was a RingEX or a carrier issue.
Read full review Support Rating The Customer Service and Representatives are always kind and willing to go the extra mile to get anything resolved. Yet, we have not really needed them after the initial set up since the product actually works and we have not really experienced any major issues.
Read full review I have called RingEX a few times for assistance in setting up call handling or implementing changes in our call handling structure. The wait time to speak with an agent is usually minimal and the ones I have spoken to are excellent at walking me thru what changes I am trying to make as well as ensuring I understand what is being done so I can handle it myself next time if the need arises.

Read full review Implementation Rating Thank to the help of Avaya implementation team, the migration was done with minimal impact. All activities were well defined and done in time.
Read full review If someone has an existing system I tell them to keep that running initially and keep RingEX separate initially until the system is configured and tested to one's satisfaction. After testing and configuration is completed, then roll over the main phone numbers to the new RingEX system. I've seen one person who immediately flipped over to RingEX without properly configuring/testing the software and had many issues with missed customer calls until I helped him sort out his configuration.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Apart from Cisco Webex Calling/app no other vendor offers their own phones hardware, gateways. We need to add other vendors like yealink, Poly, Audiocodes to complete the solution. This makes things very difficult from management perspective. As you have to hire a person who can manage a multivendor environment. Also, in case of outage, multiple bridge open and every vendor blame others. Cisco is costly so we gave a chance to Avaya UCaaS based on its history and reputation in Calling market.
Read full review During the tender process, we met with several other vendors. During this phase, we realized that RingEX was the only vendor we were investigating, and it was its own telecom provider – instead of offering phone software running on someone else’s network. So, we figured, ‘Why not cut out the middleman and partner with a cloud communication provider that also knows how to run a phone network?' More than any other cloud communication vendor, RingEX seemed to understand what we wanted. They listened to our needs and came back with a proposed solution that proved they heard us. They never tried to sell us on bells and whistles they knew we didn’t need. That’s what you want in a tech partner.

Read full review Scalability Scalability was less important for our organization as our needs are quite stable.
Read full review We have 75 users and 85 phones on the system and have yet to have any noticeable outages. The system just works all of the time without issues. Our old VOIP system on
Voyant would go out all the time for multiple hours. RingEX is much more stable and reliable.
Read full review Return on Investment This made working from home possible, allowing me to take calls that I wouldn't be able to without having them forwarded by our communications department It works with Teams, realizing when I'm on a conf call and automatically sets a status of away, preventing my phone from ringing, but allowing me to see the voicemail via text so that I can respond If I step out of the office for a little bit, I can have my calls go directly to my cellphone to make sure I'm still available if needed Read full review Better connectivity and communication with team messaging. Enhanced customer experience with call routing, after-hours messaging, and emergency routing. Better privacy for my team by not having to share their mobile numbers as users within RingEX. Easier onboarding of new teammates as new users in RingEX. Read full review ScreenShots
