It's less ideal for organizations needing deep video conferencing features or highly customized workflows beyond voice and messaging . It's realtime call analytics and call routing makes it great for high volume call center

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.

The platform is intuitive and feature-rich, making it easy to manage call, track performance and integrate with CRM. However that slight room for improvement is simplifying the dashboard for new users and enhancing mobile experience. The learning curve is short for most team members, and support resources are readily available.

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.
