Cisco
The solution has almost everything I need to do my job, which is to keep in touch with my customers by phone calls and meetings. On the go, the softphone has room to improve user experience (Cisco Jabber), and as far as I know, Webex App should fill the gaps left by Jabber, but it depends to upgrade the system to the last version and that costs. Besides that, the solution is rock solid! Good audio quality in voice and video, integration with MSFT Teams and so reliable.

Good for any situation where there are multiple employees who need to be reached by customers or in-house. Also cuts down on Robo calls because they typically can't / don't press numbers to choose from a menu. Can't really see this system being worth the price in a smaller-sized operation though, as there are far cheaper options that provide a much nicer management interface.

  • Makes it easy to send and receive phone calls, setup extensions, and generally handle incoming and outgoing phone calls.
  • You're able to receive business calls wherever you go, whether you're in your office or on your mobile device.
  • The Voicemail to Text feature generally works well enough for you to know what a message is about without having to listen to it.

Cons
Cisco
  • The setup flow was limited, unclear, and was not working for a while, IT didn't manage to fix it.
  • The UI looks terribly old, not even a little bit looking like a hardphone.
  • More options during a call.

  • Not a fan of the poly phones
  • I feel if the phones were set up better when installed it would have saved a lot of headache.

Usability
Cisco
All main features is very easy to access and use, only pressing a button or two (when you need to page up or page down the features set!) in the desk phone or a click of the mouse to place a call, start a chat, video call or a meeting. Very straight forward.

Support Rating
Cisco
Cisco offers online instruction on the use of the VoIP but it has to be sought out. Likely, the do offer additional support but this is managed by our IT department so it is difficult to determine just how accessible Cisco has been regarding the implementation and ongoing support for this product.

As we all know,Cisco is one of the best and trusted companies when it comes to networking,most of our materials were all Cisco,Cisco routers,Cisco IP phones..etc They're more handy and easy to use and don't require an IT experience,I used an IP phone to receive a call,and it was very easy to use and the sound was clear,here it comes the good configuration of a Cisco Voip PBx

I have switched now to MagicJack for business, while their support might not be the most amazing either we are very satisfied with the service/cost relationship and this has been a major game-changer. I am certain that Comcast has a larger client base that they have to look for that might be creating much more significant revenue. We have faced similar situations with other vendors and have found better solutions with smaller, shelving solutions that seem to cater more closely to clients.

  • In my experience, you have to pay to get out of contract.
