It's well suited for sales and support environments where you need to give live coaching or real time feedback to your team members. It also helps when you have to take some strategic decisions, specifically if you are working in. support environments to identify trends, spikes in call volume, etc, and the virtual receptionist is a great help, too when the call volume is higher. For me in sales it helps with live monitoring, auto-transcript of calls, call tagging etc.

• This solution is extremely stable and has been running in our environment for several years without (unscheduled) downtime.
• The ability to have voicemails automatically sent as an email message is extremely helpful in helping us to keep in touch while away from the desk.
• The Call Manager provides us very granular settings to route our calls as we want.

• Ability to do live monitoring of calls whenever I need to provide real time feedback to my team members as it also ensures smooth interaction
• Liked the option of auto-transcription whenever I am in a hurry and need just basic transcript of what happened on the call
• Call Analytics is also great for you to help identify trends, and get some granular data points for making some strategic decisions

• Administration web page is little bit hard to understand at the beginning specially if you are not familiar with naming convention and GU Interfaces.
• Call Detail Record interface is fine but would be desirable to include more options that fit organization needs in terms of reporting purposes.
• Self Care Portal interface could be more useful to the end user if it includes options to manage some features without administrators involving.

The usability part of Cisco Unified Communications Manager is very much simple from a usability point of view. Day-to-day Move Add Change Delete (MACD) can be performed by the administrators very easily with simple training. From the initial deployment point of view, some of the thing can be improved to simplify the process.

CUCM is supported by most third-party vendors for related products, so it makes finding solutions to specific needs easy. Also Cisco TAC is very knowledgeable, and we have never run into a problem they have not been able to resolve. Usually they are resolved without the need to escalate tickers either.

We have been a Cisco based shop and have looked at other cloud voice options such as MS Teams pbx, and others, but ultimately, the features, endpoints, and reliability of Cisco has been the common factor in staying with them as our voice provider. Their integrations, room systems, and hybrid design allows for us to be flexible and keep a high up time vs reliance on 100% cloud.

I am not a decision maker who decides whether to buy a software or not but yes Krispcall has a lot of advantages compared to other vendors in the similar lines and one of them is it being cost efficent.
