    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.

    • The price is on the higher end
    • Normal issues for VoIP - if users have low bandwidth, high jitter or latency

    The web interface takes a little getting used to, but once you are familiar, it is very easy to use and administrate. The end user has a very easy to use app.

    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.

    [Intermedia] Unite has no contracts and offers great service. Other companies require contracts, and for highly scalable businesses, this isn't optimal.

    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.

    • During offseason, we scaled back to 150 phones and during peak, we scaled up to 400 phones. No contracts, no fees, just month to month billing. Awesome
    • Support and ease of deployment has been a huge ROI for [Intermedia] Unite.
