Evolve IP Unified Communications vs. Ring4

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.

Good for creating a new business or branching a business abroad.

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

• Manage Team Lines
• Transcribe calls
• International Calling
• Call Recording
• Free video conferencing

• 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.

• I've sometimes seen text messages being sent in double.

It's super easy and simple to use, and very straightforward.

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.

I had a question, and had my answer that same day.

We switched from 8x8 due to voice quality issues.

Ring4 had everything we need in a business phone line in a more simple format and less expensive.

• 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.

• Less expensive business phone
• Can answer on the go
• Less to manage, more simple
