    Cisco
    UC-One is an extremely versatile app that works well in literally a single user shop, or a multi-hundred user company - especially for those who need mobility options to conduct business properly. With its built-in collaboration features, built-in softphone, and just general instant messaging features it allows you to work literally anywhere you have an internet connection. It is also handy in case there are onsite issues preventing you from using your hard phone (such as power or internet issues) where your cellphone will allow you to continue to work.

    I love that RingEX lets you screen your call and take notes, then gives you a thorough review and summary that breaks down key points and flags what needs to be done. You get an email with the notes and summary, so you don't have to focus on anything but providing the customer with the summary and next steps. I think that helps with productivity.

    • RingEX abilities to do multiple things at once, hands-free, is a huge time saver for me.
    • RingEX can record each word from beginning to end that may be part of a legal or written contract.
    • The amount of storage space that this program provides to my system is incredible.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • Mobile App Chats do not always sync to the PC application.
    • Switching from WiFi to Cellular on mobile applications typically drops the call.
    • Caller ID on the iPhone/iPad app only shows the phone number and not the Caller ID information.

    • Reporting and analytics can be limiting. There is a solid baseline of reporting, but the customization is not what you would get with a call center product.
    • There is a platform API, but it is not as expansive as I would like. There is no easy way to build integrations with third-party tools, unlike Genesys Cloud, which has Data Actions.
    • The digital/messaging side is not present - we can't stick a widget on our website and allow people to live chat with us.

    We are grandfathered into our unlimited toll-free minutes plan. We are very unlikely to switch because of that. It has been the major factor saving us a lot of money compared to switching to other solutions. I don't know any other company that still offers these unlimited plans.

    They were working on updating a few of the modules while we were going live, so this made usability difficult to train on once they did go live with those changes. Now that the changes are in place, we have really enjoyed the usability of the platform

    Because it works great. In case there's a Wi-Fi issue, communication does not stop because the mobile app can be use with regular cell phone data. During one year + 3 months I've have the service, there's been only one time when there were issues on RingEX's side; however, the time of resolution was on the same day.

    Occasional bandwith issues. In addition to this, I have one individual whose calls are blocked. We were not able to determine whether this was a RingEX or a carrier issue.

    Call-in support is fantastic. I have never called in and had it taken more than 30 minutes to resolve our issue. Email support is terrible. You will likely go 24+ hours until you hear back and the response is likely a canned one. I personally prefer the email or chat support option, but find myself calling instead because the email support experience is so poor.

    If someone has an existing system I tell them to keep that running initially and keep RingEX separate initially until the system is configured and tested to one's satisfaction. After testing and configuration is completed, then roll over the main phone numbers to the new RingEX system. I've seen one person who immediately flipped over to RingEX without properly configuring/testing the software and had many issues with missed customer calls until I helped him sort out his configuration.

    We moved to Cisco UC-One because we wanted an integrated program to provide unified communication services as well as the ability to meet, message and share documents. The cost differential was minimal when you realize the time and convenience of Cisco UC-One. Our team down load the app to their cell and have one fewer device to carry, too.

    We are using these products like (Skype, Voip, TextNow, and Second line), but comparatively these products the RingEX has a good performance, because while we were using the other platform, we didn't get proper communication, we couldn't reach out the candidate, we lags to much into spam number, we couldn't communicate properly and the textnow we couldn't sigin sometime. When we start to use RingEX, we get much better productivity and proper communication with our clients.

    We have 75 users and 85 phones on the system and have yet to have any noticeable outages. The system just works all of the time without issues. Our old VOIP system on Voyant would go out all the time for multiple hours. RingEX is much more stable and reliable.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • The services as a whole are a better feature set for a better price.
    • The software is much easier to use and administrate than previous offerings on the same platform offering a better customer experience.
    • Updates made to the back end are not well communicated and sometimes cause unexpected behavior as a result.

    • Enhanced patient accountability, we can track all calls - incoming and outgoing - patients tend to state that they called and left a message, but they either never called or did not leave a message. With RingEX, we can track whether they really did. It saves us quite a bit of time and aggravation.
    • Faxing is more accurate and usually very quick. Because it's accurate, it saves us time with phone calls about faxes we never received and having to refax items. Also, faxing via the system instead of printing and scanning is a time-saver.
