FastCall vs. MiVoice Office Application Suite (Mitel Application Suite)

FastCall is great for TEAMS! It's also great when used in combination with SalesForce for a powerful CRM tool.

Mitel is useful for larger organizations where instant messaging can be used throughout departments and in-house phones need to be set to cell phones. I wouldn't say that it's not appropriate for smaller organizations, but they might not need all of the robust features that Mitel offers. The user experience is extremely intuitive and organizations of any scale will be able to easily navigate it.

• Pre-recorded voicemails.
• Call logs.
• User-friendly experience.

Incentivized

• Call reporting
• Voicemail system and transfers: This is one of my favorite features! I am able to transfer voicemails and leave notes for my team. It also comes in an email notification.
• Integrated with our email system.

Incentivized

• Cannot press [enter] to call, you need to manually click on the call button
• There are some features that require more clicks than I would expect, i.e. hanging up requires clicking on [spoke to] as well as [end call], which can be annoying.

Incentivized

• It would be nice if they had more documentation on how to do things within the system that was easier to find.
• The software has so many features that it can be overwhelming.

Great technical support. My only recommendation would be to have staffed support after hours. They have an after hours answering service and while the technicians always called back it would be good to reach support immediately 24/7. Technicians are very knowledgeable and helpful as is their sales staff. They also have great training to take.

I love FastCall, because it allows me to leave a pre-recorded voicemail, unlike Dialpad.

In retrospect, Mitel was not the right solution for us but it has sufficed while we look for a replacement that integrates with our CRM. Skype for Business was being phased out, we were currently using RingCentral, and we anticipated the conversion back to ShoreTel (we had a hosted environment in the past) would be similar to our previous experience with the system. The Cloud-based software and technology, however, did not meet up to the hosted environments capabilities, at least when it came to call-management
