Mitel MiCollab
Chose Mitel MiCollab
I feel like it's hard to compare them, as the Yealink system we just implemented is a modern VOIP system, whereas the Mitel MiCollab system we had (even though we upgraded it once over the 12-years of usage) still wasn't as user-friendly for us as Yealink now is to us. In our …
Chose Mitel MiCollab
Mitel MiCollab compares satisfactory to these other Collaboration solutions but as stated before for SMB customer's who have budget concerts and already have a Mitel environment for their unified communication infrastructure, this definatley will work and meet their collab …
Chose Mitel MiCollab
The micollab just overall fits better with our company and users. It's easier for people to use if they have never used it and easier to train in a mass group setting than the other series. Documentation and training videos are easily retainable from the micollab website, …
Chose Mitel MiCollab
[I believe] Mitel MiCollab's conferencing doesn't stack up in comparison with any of the bigger conferencing tools. For its internal purposes, as part of a Mitel phone system, it's great (the voicemail manager is excellent), but the minute you try and host a web conference with …
Chose Mitel MiCollab
MiCollab was great as a VOIP solution and general team collaboration solution, but it lacked in some areas, such as the mobile app, complex configuration and set up as well as the lack of user customization. Overall, the system is serviceable, but seemed rather vanilla …
Chose Mitel MiCollab
Not as good as its competitors but does the job. It needs to have more features and integrate with other applications.
Chose Mitel MiCollab
I believe that most of my colleages prefer Webex. That could just be that people like that with which they are familiar. But, I can't really say. Webex did seem to be easier to use from my perspective.
Chose Mitel MiCollab
Both products work really well. Both require a good amount of setup. MiCollab is much cheaper with an equal amount of quality.
Chose Mitel MiCollab
8x8 is a great solution, we have just been on the MiTel MiCollab and Mitel softwares for many years. Prior to joining this company I was responsible for the communications system. 8x8 at the time was the best choice, however, I would now pick MiTel and the MiCollab softwares …
Chose Mitel MiCollab
This is good for syncing with your Mitel desk phone (we use cloud-based Mitel service). It is definitely a help with that system. As for a stand-alone product, I don't see that it would be useful (like Skype). Does not have video conferencing. It does have a chat feature, but …
Chose Mitel MiCollab
Mitel is more well known within the IT world and had better ratings. That is why our IT department went with Mitel MiCollab. Plus it was compatible with all our devices and suited all our needs as an organization.
Troop Messenger

The best aspect of range in a remote setting is feeling connected. I feel as though we are all united because we can easily start a conference with our teammates, making it seem like we are all present. These very little things let us coordinate and work together in a way that …

Troop Messenger makes it incredibly simple to communicate with the team. Direct and group communications are supported very well. Among its outstanding features are bulk messaging, a private chat window, live video conferences, etc. The best aspect is that screen sharing may be …
Chose Troop Messenger
We are happy using the application and have no complaints about it. It made our daily team communication and collaboration simple and seamless. The best part is its file deck module, where it lets us view all the files that were shared across Troop Messenger in one place, also …
Chose Troop Messenger
Troop Messenger is the most incredible team communication tool I've come across in a long time. Initially, we had to depend on multiple tools for different requirements, and we now rely completely on them. It serves as the standard against which all team chat apps are assessed. …
Chose Troop Messenger
We wanted an on-premise chat so as aforementioned we started testing tools with Troop Messenger first, since we liked it without any second thought we opted for it. I wouldn’t its flawless services are the only reason because this tool’s price and security protocols are also …
Chose Troop Messenger
As a part of a team, I would propose Troop Messenger to each organization. Decisively, I can say that the main apparatus is immaculate and proactive in the whole market. I'm certainly incredible examination has been put resources into fostering this apparatus. According to as …
Chose Troop Messenger
We created groups based on projects, responsibilities, teams, etc., of course, any tool can facilitate it but Troop Messenger has some key features like Unread Messages, Respond Later and other options, which boost the communication.
Chose Troop Messenger
After testing various tools we decided to go with Troop Messenger because it is not just about features, it was working very well compared to any tool in the market so we decided to opt for the best tool like Troop Messenger. This tool is easy to use and every functionality …

Mitel MiCollabTroop Messenger
Likelihood to Recommend
MiCollab is great for a large office to get users working from home and being able to use their home phone or cell phone like the desk phone at the office. This allows our live operators the ability to see if the end-user is on an active call before sending a new call to them. If you have a very small company of fewer than 10 people this might not be worth the investment as cell phones would work just as well.

Usability
It is easy to you for existig Mitel UC users, who are familiar with the Mitel way of things, but for green field enterprises, might be a ramp up period which in most cases would not be worth it as its competitor TEAMS is much easier and intuity to use.

Support Rating
Support is typically handled by a reseller. Buyers should evaluate the reseller as much as they evaluate Mitel for the product suite. The few times when the reseller was not able to handle the issue directly, Mitel did step up and quickly answer/address the question/issue.

I feel like it's hard to compare them, as the Yealink system we just implemented is a modern VOIP system, whereas the Mitel MiCollab system we had (even though we upgraded it once over the 12-years of usage) still wasn't as user-friendly for us as Yealink now is to us. In our experience, our user support from MetroNet is also lightyears better than that of Integra/Frontier. So that also adds a lot to our Yealink experience.

We are happy using the application and have no complaints about it. It made our daily team communication and collaboration simple and seamless. The best part is its file deck module, where it lets us view all the files that were shared across Troop Messenger in one place, also waiting for Troop Messenger's new features.

  • Our team communication and collaboration is simplified with Troop Messenger. Now that we don’t feel the need to use e-mail for checking our work requirements and updates, we check all of them in Troop Messenger and get on to work. We are able to bring non-employees, such as our customers and clients, into it to exchange business conversations. We don’t feel any negative impacts with it.
