Chose Fuze
We did a short POC so we did not fully implement all functions with any of the providers before going with Fuze which was the cheapest.
Fuze was basically selected as our priority because of its seamless calling feature as compared to its competitors and the edge of simplifying the contextual features it is offering
Fuze does not stack up against NVM or Five9 at all. Fuze is such an inferior product to NVM. inContact and Serenova have great platforms as well but I haven't used them first hand yet. All these other plaforms plug into Salesforce well as Fuze does not. Fuze needs to …
Fuze proved to be a great solution and quite the improvement from our XO phone platform we moved away from. Fuze as a cloud solution allowed us to transition to a remote work environment very easily. Fuze reporting provided valuable insight into the call activity of sales …
Almost went with PanTerra and then discovered that Fuze has better infrastructure which allows for more reliability and uptime. RingCentral had too many apps and didn't feel centralized enough.
We have used smaller VoIP vendors and UCaaS, such as Ring Central, in the past. We chose Fuze, and it has been the right fit for us. The private VoIP vendor was not as expandable, and the services [were] just not there. Ring Central, though a capable product, was just not …
We evaluated other projects like Skype for Business (now Teams), RingCentral, and Cisco alongside Fuze. What set Fuze aside for our organization was the amount of care and support they put into the proof of concept process to ensure that when we decided to start our test, it …
We have had several vendors try to get our phone business, and I have always given my opinion to management why we need to stay with Fuze. Customer service is wonderful and the support staff puts up with me and they are very helpful. We use another company to do our dialing …
Fuze was far more expensive and more complicated to set up. Our current platform took a few days to set up with SSO. Our contact center took a bit longer but works amazingly.
Five9 is better as a contact center but can be used with Fuze if you want to combine it with a separate PBX type system. Avaya has more configuration options but is very costly when you need to setup or update hardware. Genesys gives you the best of both worlds, but the startup …
Fuze was a cost effective solution that best met our requirements. Compared to 8x8 in particular, Fuze's built in queue logic allowed us to migrate our call flow more seamlessly. To our customers, it didn't sound like we changed a thing even though everything did. That …
I was not employed at my company at the time they selected Fuze. But in a general comparison to Vonage which I used at my last company, I think Fuze and Vonage are both good products.
We wanted to replace the legacy PBX systems across all US regions & we found Fuze is really interesting because of the cloud-based subscription-based model solution. We wanted to bring some change to our user to upgrade it to the next level & we found Fuze is very innovative …
Our company has used three different phone systems during my time. It began with an on-premises system from Interactive Intelligence, Inc. (I3), which is primarily a higher-end call-center product. Due to a business relationship, we were able to utilize what would have been …
WebEx is also a good application, but it's more inclined for meetings and presentations. Our company needed a solution for communication on a day-to-day basis. That is why we selected Fuze to be used by our employees. Also, Skype for Business had all the features we needed but …
Fuze has way more capability than we need for our small office so it might be best suited for large installations, call centers, and complex environments. Our office is small and our needs [are] minimal, so when we need support we are challenged to understand the support person due to our lack of technical sophistication. We sometimes feel like we should switch to a solution more geared for consumers or SOHO. Nevertheless, Fuze provides reliable service at [a] reasonable cost that meets our needs, and because support is rarely needed we are happy with them most of the time, i.e. when support isn't needed.
Support Team - the best I have ever worked with. They help 24/7 on any issue I could come across. Usually it is an item I could fix myself and they fix it and show me how to fix the same issue if I have it in the future.
Contact Center - We do Commercial Collections involving Sales and Collections. We have 50 people on the phone at one time. Contact Center lets a Manager listen live and gives help if the rep needs help selling or collecting.
Pandemic 2020 - without Fuze we would have been unable to work for 3 months. They saved our "rears" since we already had all their services up and running for years.
Fuze is a solid application that is a great asset to the business for our sales staff to make daily calls to clients and candidates. Managers can monitor call data and times to keep up to date with team performance, as well as monitor calls for users on their team. The Fuze/MS Teams integration is an exciting prospect that would be very beneficial to us as a business, for seamless integration between the 2 platforms.
Fuze was built with the end-user in mind. It was built to have a common interface on mobile and desktop. Fuze Web is new, and it also has the exact same interface as the desktop and mobile, and they are still working on the ability to make phone calls from the browser itself, currently it can do meetings just fine. Everything about Fuze was built with the end-user in mind.
We've had a few outages over the past year. More than other vendors I've used. They usually have outages fixed within an hour. The downside is they do not provide root cause of outages. If they do at takes them at least a month to get it to you
Since Fuze runs across multiple devices and platforms they really strived to make a lightweight interface that is optimized for phone calls, chat, and collaboration. The web client loads fast, the chat is always up-to-date, phone calls arrive on-time. The desktop client is the most feature rich and basically it just adds desktop sharing functionality as well as VoIP for calling, and the mobile client doesn't consume a lot of battery, and it stays running to get phone calls, chats, and can do meetings over Wifi, Cellular Data, or Cellular voice.
Our experience with Fuze support has been overall very positive. Their technicians seem to be well trained and able to handle a variety of requests and issues without unnecessary delays or extensive troubleshooting. Fuze allows enough customer access to avoid the need to call support for every little issue but is ready to assist when issues are beyond our capabilities to resolve.
At many of our sites with more than 50 users, Fuze sent someone onsite to train. This worked surprisingly well, as the trainer allowed the users to set the pace and answered TONS of questions. Fuze has a very streamlined training process, their staff is very professional, very knowledgeable and very engaging.
Fuze has vast amounts of training videos and guides on how to use its products and services. There are literally endless-hours of training and I often point end-users to a particular video which addresses the specific needs of the user, for example: how to check voicemail. Or, how to share your desktop, etc.
Personally, I didn't have any trouble getting started with Fuze. It was installed on my computer on my first day and I was good to go! Little to no hiccups. I was not with the company when they first adapted Fuze so I can not speak to the implementation as a whole.
Fuze was far more expensive and more complicated to set up. Our current platform took a few days to set up with SSO. Our contact center took a bit longer but works amazingly.
Fuze does have scalability limits but most of that is how many end-points they can put on a virtual PBX, or VCX as they call them, I THINK its limit is somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000, but we've not had issues with that because we have put users into various VCXs some by location, some by department or function. Either way, we have 7,000 currently deployed, and are going to end up with over 15,000 when we are done, Fuze is VERY scalable.
