As of now, we are using a Cisco IP phone and I think it is suited for [mid-size organizations] where they can manage IT dept and IT person this device is [one-time] setup but sometimes if anything happens it will very difficult to understand without IT background so [I] prefer for Mid size organization.

Vonage Business Cloud is well suited if you have small or limited IT staff and/or you have many remote workers and little or no on-prem hardware. I would recommend Vonage to small to medium-sized businesses. It would not be well suited to a large organization where everyone works in the same building and the IT staff has servers and staff to manage a VoIP system.

- Eliminates physical phone consoles that can be pricey and unnecessary for staff.
- Has a companion app that allows you to use your personal cell phone to check messages or make calls.
- The desktop application is easy to use and has a number of customizable settings so that the app can be minimized but alert you of incoming calls.

Cons
Cisco IP Phone 6800 Series

- They do not take billing support calls. Online chat only. That can be dicey.
- Desktop app can have some hiccups and there are frequent updates. Sometimes it switches from my headset to webcam for no reason I can tell. Miss the call be for I figure it out.
- Text messaging does not handle images. Frustrates my clients when they think they can send me a pic of a signed doc or vin# and I don't get it.

I thought it had very practical and useful usability. It has a clean and simple interface with large fonts that make it easy to read. It isn't particularly difficult, although figuring out some operations may be a bit challenging. For the most part though, it isn't very difficult to use

We hardly have any issues with it to where we need to call them. There was a point where our connections across the board were terrible and it held us up in production quite a bit but since then things have been pretty simple and streamlined.

With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing many businesses to adopt remote working policies, VoIP handsets have become more important than ever for firms wishing to remain in contact with their employees and clients. Fortunately, the 6800 series has a number of specific futures that are aimed at boosting productivity, wherever employees are based. These include the ability to handle multiple calls, fixed-function buttons that provide one-touch access to important features, and localized language support for international users. This is an ideal solution for this kind of scenario.

We believe Vonage Business Cloud is best for our organization over the AT&T and the Verizon platforms for several reasons including price, ease of use, connectivity, and other options. Since we have implemented this solution along with newer Polycom phones, we have had very few issues with our phones or our phone platform.

Cisco IP Phone 6800 Series
- I set up the desk for new hires in our group - it is super easy to plug in this phone and have them up and running.
- Having the ability to pre-program speed dial numbers ensures that new hires are able to reach help without having to search for a number.
- The ability to program ring tones is great, so if we are in the shared space meeting and we hear a phone ring, we know who's phone is ringing - the meeting can go on without everyone leaving to check.

- We were able to remove expensive and out of date phones, and replace them with the user's choice of a new phone or Bluetooth, so we saved money.
- There was training time that needed to be committed for a 50+ person office which reduced productivity for a while.
