Evolve IP Unified Communications vs. MyPBX

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.

Incentivized

MyPBX is really well suited to a business that is willing to put in the time to work out the most appropriate system for its needs and for business owners who want to be connected 24/7 whether in or out of the office

• One pane of glass to manage multiple sites
• Zero upfront cost of ownership
• Flexibility in configuration

• Recording and delivering voice messages for immediate retrieval from your email client.
• Simultaneous phone calls to any lines you direct.
• Intuitive and simple to use launch panel.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Would like to see avatars on the launch pad to easily identify users and message types.
• Pre-recorded professional voice messages for purchase and customization would be nice.
• It would be helpful to have a selection of short background music loops.

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.

Incentivized

We switched from 8x8 due to voice quality issues.

Incentivized

• 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.

• Serves as a virtual receptionist, therefore, saves on outlays.
• Extremely cost effective overseas calls.
• Never missing a business opportunity because I'm connected 24/7.
