    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.

    The system does more than I've even had the pleasure to implement. I appreciate the staff and the system. It's stable and dynamic enough to meet any companies needs.

    • System uptime is tremendous, I almost forget it exists on my server rack.
    • Desktop software is very easy to learn, I can train new receptionists within a few minutes and they don't have to memorize extensions or rely on a sheet of numbers
    • Call recording works well, I am able to find calls based on a number of criteria and it finds the calls fast and I can easily export them for use.

    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.

    • There are a few interfaces for working with the system and it can be daunting to learn
    • They charge quite a bit annually and if you miss an update they charge you additional fees to catch up.

    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.

    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.

    • Good call tracking and automated systems allows for less staff and accurate metrics
