Considered Both Products
Evolve IP Unified Communications
Chose Evolve IP Unified Communications
Evolve is worse than Dialpad, Vonage, RingCentral, Genesys, MS Teams, 8x8, and any other system I've dealt with. These mentioned all have better features, work well, are simple to use and admin, and some of them cost less.
Chose Evolve IP Unified Communications
Service and cost of entry is what led us to our decision. Some of the others have better reporting. but EIP has the lowest cost of entry.

Evolve IP
I would leave it at the "?" rating because what can you rate them? 1 is too high. The only way they'd be "ok" is if: 1. Your company isn't growing and your users never leave the company. 2. You don't have to call support or make edits to the admin portal. 3. Don't need reporting. 4. Only use a physical phone to make/receive calls. 5. Do not plan to use a softphone or call center system. 6. Enjoy systems or people that frustrate you.

Cons
Evolve IP
  • I'd like to see them build out API functionality for reporting off of call data within the organization. They have a Call Center product that seems to include a fairly robust reporting module, but it would be nice to be able to do some more of this within the standard Phone System product as well.

Support Rating
Evolve IP
Support? If I could do everything myself with the time I don't have, I would do it better than their support. I don't like saying it that way, but it is the truth. We hired someone from another company that also used Evolve IP and when they found out that is what we used here, he expressed all of the same complaints and stories that we had.

Return on Investment
Evolve IP
  • We have reduce operational expenses by an average of 30 percent by switching to EIP.
  • Higher level of employee engagement with customers (given phone features).
  • Only negativity would be if you have a single point of failure for internet service it proves to be a challenge.
