FreeConferenceCall.com vs. RingEX

I think that FreeConferenceCall.com is well suited for anyone, really. They do a great job at providing options for all types of scenarios-from basic phone calls to now offering the video conference. The only time I think that it might not be as advantageous to use is when there are only 2 people that are needing to connect-in that case it's just as easy to direct dial

RingCentral is generally good for business calls, as its mobile features, combined with landline office options, are great for communication on the go. It is also an affordable option to have a mobile cellular device if you have a lot of staff. Setup especially for multilevel authorization can be a hassle but it works well if well set up, you would have to get help in rectifying this if not calls might be redirected to the wrong extensions and changing it is not very straight forward.

• Clear calls, it is easy to hear no matter how many participants are on the call.
• Does not kick participants off, we have up to 40 people on the call and it works fine.
• Easy to remember, the phone number and code is the same so it is easy for staff to recall.
• No busy signals, we can always get through to set up call.

Incentivized

• Chat and Messaging - Conversations are easy to search, topics can be pinned or bookmarked, and groups are easy to create and administer.
• Phone - The core functionality works very well allowing voice, txt/sms, and faxing for all users. Administration is generally fairly easy as well.
• Mobile Client - the mobile app offers all of the same functionality as the desktop or web client.
• Video - Video calls make it easy to share screens with other users and includes a lot of tools for planning.

Incentivized

• Recently callers cannot get onto the call
• Users on the call get bumped off
• Non-transparent policy about why problems are occurring. If FreeConferenceCall.com can't reliably provide free service, just tell me that rather than blaming it on a law that changed and local carriers causing the problems. The real problem is that the law did recently change, which allowed companies like FreeConferenceCall.com to collect a revenue share for all calls placed through certain hubs--even free calls. This loophole was removed recently, and I believe the service issues I've been experiencing are being used to extort users to buy a paid service in order to receive trouble-free service.
• I found customer service representatives rude and dismissive

• We can use the RingEx in our Mobile to use for Basic calls and messages, but sometimes the mobile application lags or disconnects while using video calls or screen sharing.
• we can easily configure in our laptops.
• The Meeting recording option is really helpful for our organization

It is so user friendly.

We switched to RingEX for ease of administration, flexibility of integration (fax, web meetings, chat client, mobile app) and competitive price. Although the system has had a few quirks as it's been relying on our network much more heavily and integrating with our next-gen firewall, I can't speak highly enough of what RingEX has done for our business. I love it and can't wait to renew for a longer period of time at an even more competitive rate.

I am and have been extremely pleased with my use of this product.

Once you get used to the features of the system, it is extremely easy to find what you need. Everything is all on one place which makes the usability phenomenal. It is very user-friendly, and everything you need is mainly on the RC app. There is a separate window for your Max Agent, and everything is spelled out so you rarely have a question where something is.

There have been outages in the past, but they keep you updated on their status page. They instantly start working to resolve the issue in a timely manner. The reporting is clearly laid out if your area is impacted. They ensure that they email any updates they've made to the portal or any products they offer.

Occasional bandwith issues. In addition to this, I have one individual whose calls are blocked. We were not able to determine whether this was a RingEX or a carrier issue.

I haven't had the need to call for any support at all yet for FreeConferenceCall.com. It has just worked splendidly for me. That being said, when I first downloaded it and got started using it there was a wizard which made every section and button very clear on what it does. It was easy to get started by following the wizard. I imagine then that their customer service will be just as good.

Call-in support is fantastic. I have never called in and had it taken more than 30 minutes to resolve our issue. Email support is terrible. You will likely go 24+ hours until you hear back and the response is likely a canned one. I personally prefer the email or chat support option, but find myself calling instead because the email support experience is so poor.

I really didn't know all the capabilities

It's a no brainer!

If someone has an existing system I tell them to keep that running initially and keep RingEX separate initially until the system is configured and tested to one's satisfaction. After testing and configuration is completed, then roll over the main phone numbers to the new RingEX system. I've seen one person who immediately flipped over to RingEX without properly configuring/testing the software and had many issues with missed customer calls until I helped him sort out his configuration.

FreeConferenceCall.com is much cheaper than Zoom overall and on a per-user count. We also believe the ease of use is more beneficial with FreeConferenceCall vs. Zoom. It is easier to set up than Zoom and offers quicker support. Being the admin of the call is also super easy.

While aircall can be very similar to RingEX, RingEX is easier to use on the web version, desktop app or mobile app, makes search easier and has the ability to provide the transcribe. Then, Convoso is more oriented to outbound sales calls so it's hard to get in touch with a specific person since only has one main number assigned and the incoming call can be transfer to a person who might not be aware of the reason of the call, which causes a delay for the caller to get on hold with the right person

We have 75 users and 85 phones on the system and have yet to have any noticeable outages. The system just works all of the time without issues. Our old VOIP system on Voyant would go out all the time for multiple hours. RingEX is much more stable and reliable.

• Saved time on having to meet sales reps in person.
• Goal setting and objectives are much clearer when being able to talk with someone when seeing them. Not having to correct mistakes or clarify things later on because things "weren't clear" isn't much of an issue when a video conference is used.
• Being able to utilize a free option is the ultimate ROI - it costs nothing!

Incentivized

• The ability to text vendors via RingEX has enabled us to schedule meetings, which has led to things getting done.
• Since the app works as a secondary phone, it supports privacy, and allowing messaging enables HR and LC to contact people, ensuring they are heard and their needs are met.
• The calling feature has enabled the company to make important calls to vendors and others when needed. Allowing for contracts and many other things to get done.
