Creativity 365 vs Mitel MiCollab

Likelihood to Recommend

The platform is well suited for different situations depending on who is using it and with what purpose. It can definitely be used by freelancers for business-related projects, by illustrators and designers for brainstorming sessions and sketches, by students for studying, and by educators for teaching and research. But I think these apps aren't suitable for large-scale projects like editing a feature film or creating an animated feature film.

Excellent for the receptionist - allows easy transfer and viewing of incoming calls. The chat feature is helpful as well. Transfer and conference options are easy to use click option. Good for sales as well - easy to sync phone and smartphone so they are never out of reach. Also good for checking message and calls that may have been missed

Pros

The apps are super easy to use.
Creativity 365 software pack encompasses a wide range of functionalities, overlapping between each other to offer a complete toolset.
It is great for capturing and highlighting important website contents with PDF Markup.
Write-On Video is very helpful to spice up my videos and mash photos and videos together to create new content.

For a user, once you get everything set up, attendance is pretty seamless.
This provides easy access for meetings that involve only a call.
We use it also to share screens and information and it works well for this.

Cons

Since it's a content creation toolset, it would be great if there was a photo editing tool.

SIP registration can be difficult at times and tricky during the first time setup. I would recommend taking the MiCollab class offered through Mitel as well as having experience with SIP and Wireshark.
If you need to have a clustered MiCollab setup for SIP (one MiCollab server on LAN, the other on DMZ), this can add to the cost. It would be nice if they offered an all-in-one solution with a single MiCollab server.

Support is typically handled by a reseller. Buyers should evaluate the reseller as much as they evaluate Mitel for the product suite.The few times when the reseller was not able to handle the issue directly, Mitel did step up and quickly answer/address the question/issue.

Airtable has a free version that offers basic functionalities that Creativity 365 does not offer. Airtable integrates with 25 different applications and software to make collaboration easier, while Creativity 365 only integrates with 13. Even though key features of Creativity 365 and Airtable should matter you should also carefully explore the integrations provided by each product. Very often you will already be making use of various kinds of SaaS software in your company and it’s much more beneficial to choose software that integrates well with each other. If you do that you will be able to guarantee an effortless transfer of data between your teams and software used, which can significantly reduce the time spent on migrating between one solution and the next.

8x8 is a great solution, we have just been on the MiTel MiCollab and Mitel softwares for many years. Prior to joining this company I was responsible for the communications system. 8x8 at the time was the best choice, however, I would now pick MiTel and the MiCollab softwares over 8x8. While 8x8 offers fairly simple set up and integrated SMS & Faxing all in one platform, it does not allow the amount of custom programming etc. that MiTel does

It has definitely reduced work load times, and allows me more time to work on important projects.
The PDF mark up and the ability to write text over videos has made presentations a lot more efficient to create and thus is time saving.
Using NoteLedge to take notes and add photos to those notes helps with being better organized.

We have only had this for our organization for just a few months but hopefully it will help with our communication as a whole.
We are hoping it will help with scheduling conflicts being as we can share our calendars within the organization as a whole.
Will save time on trying to contact people since we can see who is in office and out of office!
