Avaya UCaaS

If a small company needs simple Instant Messaging, Desktop Sharing and Presence for some application like a small Real Estate Office or some off site business with a handful of employees it might be useful. The methods and processes for setting up much of what is promised by this Unified Communications offering is not worth the initial work. Ongoing issues, difficulty with interfacing with other products and the more than occasional failure of the system to do what was programmed shows it is less appropriate for a large, fast moving organization.

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.

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.

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.

Scalability was less important for our organization as our needs are quite stable.

• 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
