Cisco Business Edition 6000 (BE6000) vs Solgari Cloud Communications

Likelihood to Recommend

Cisco Business Edition 6000 (BE6000) is well suited for midrange environments. If you want to silo your communication and collaboration environment is easy to implement without effecting your datacenter environment (Storage,vCPU,vRAM). You have your own little island with the BE6000. And with a second pair, you could easily cluster your environment and have a redundant solution.

Excellent for small and large companies. Great for sales staff who need to work remotely. No need for inside sales to be in the office all the time.

Alternatives Considered

We couldn't get the MiCollab to work properly. It always crashed. With Mitel, we couldn't change our provider to someone else that had more capability and less cost.
