Hiver
Any work environment where more than one team member is able to address certain customer requests. We used to use Groups, but then it was confusing as to whether or not someone responded, and we needed more transparency between team members. Another example is a person emailing with a billing question. We used to reply and add the billing department's email address or forward the email to billing, but with Hiver, simply assigning it to the billing HIVER Inbox allows anyone to reply directly to the customer without the issue of either the customer or team member remembering to reply all or accidentally replying only to the team member forwarding the email.

- It's easy to set up, and manage ongoing.
- The customer service and support is amazing- I get check ins, quick responses to enquiries and extras from time to time.
- It knows what it's doing- it's here to take the issue of gmail not being the best when it comes to shared inboxes and it has provided the perfect solution!

Cons
Cisco Business Edition 7000
- More cloud based services need to be added to the default service package.
- Companies frequently require a small contact center within the UC environment. It would be nice to see a build it contact center in the box.
- It would be nice to see some advanced AI based services (IVR voice recognition service) in the BE7K application list.
- Call recording should be also built in.

- There is currently no way to create a support ticket unless related to an email already received. It would be extremely beneficial to be able to take a call and create a support ticket within HIVER based on the call in the same manner that we can create a ticket from an inbound email.

I've used 220s and 240s too, but it takes a lot of time to set them up, a lot of time to download the iso files, and set up of datastores. 7k saves the engineer a lot of pre-build assessment and evaluation time. Gets a lot done in a lot less time, returns are a happy engineer and a happier customer.
