    We have found so many use cases for Cisco IP Phones and have not come across too many situations where they were not well suited, other than being mobile. We have moved to another Cisco Solution for Mobile communications. We have phones all over the place, in offices, in clinical areas, in lobby or public areas, and even in all of our conferencing and meeting spaces.

    Telonium enables us to keep your voice systems automated, allowing us to receive all incoming calls and route them to the appropriate person in your office. We are notified whenever a voicemail message is left on your desk. You can play the voicemail without dialing if you receive an e-mail notification.We can customize our phone system from anywhere. There is no need to schedule a technician to visit your site and make adjustments because all phones are delivered ready to connect. We can use this program to prevent unsolicited telemarketers and phone calls from reaching our phones. It is the ideal solution for a better and safer phone service, with a high percentage of filtered calls in our favor. Telonium makes it as simple as possible for us to launch or relocate your service. When our customers and prospects call you, we only need to provide a few pieces of information, and Telonium will handle the rest. When you need to make changes to your system, all it takes is a phone call or a visit to a customer web portal to make immediate changes.However a high-speed Internet connection is required at the location where the phone will be used.

    • The control panel function is very good because we can see the progress and work of the agents, individually and also as a group with the different work teams.
    • We have found the call scripts very useful, especially with new agents who still don't know very well how to conduct the conversation with customers.
    • I think the omnichannel support is great because all the communication channels are in the same program, which makes our work easier.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • So while the 6800 range may not offer slick features, it still provides all the core functionality that businesses have come to expect from their VoIP handsets.
    • Most of the handsets that make up the 6800 series do come with a greyscale display, which may be disappointing if employees are used to working with color VoIP solutions.

    i think it's profitable and a good return on investment as a person who make an architecture based on VOIP with IP phones i really enjoyed the process of configuration of the router , the switch and everything and then when i had to test the communication between two phones I've configured it was a joy. Also it's a good phone to receive and give calls to our clients.

    Usability
    Cisco
    Easy to use Functions are self-explanatory Light Efficient I generally have no complaints about them as they get the job done. Just a few employments on maybe graphics or so otherwise they are really great 👍 no complaints... Maybe it is just because is just a user and doesn't implement them or something.

    Cisco
    Support has always been friendly and quick. most reps are able to assist you on their own but if not they will escalate you to another engineer spending on the complexity or severity of your call. Over all I have always had fairly pleasant and respectful conversations with all the Cisco support representatives

    The 8800 series phone is lighter and has a better build quality with all except the flagship phones from Yealink, Mitel, and Avaya. The Yealink S59 and Avaya Vantage have a touch screen interface the make them more akin to the old DX650 which is more high-end than the 8800 currently.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • 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 can see how our agents and customer service staff have become more focused on their tasks and have been more effective and successful in resolving customer requests. The system is quite easy to install and use, so we didn't have any inconvenience, so without a doubt, our profit margin increased.
