Zoom Phone
Chose Zoom Phone
Intregration with other Zoom products ia a real plus.
The convenience to be able to install on so many deivces also increaed the conveneince.
Most other softweare PBX were just automating the call experiece, but Zoom makes the phone client to another level.
Chose Zoom Phone
Full disclosure- I am a reseller of many voce and data services. I am familiar with and have at least trialed basically every voice service available. We choose to use Zoom Phone as our in house system, so that speaks for itself. There is still a small market for on premise …
Chose Zoom Phone
In my opinion, Zoom Phone has a better UI
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Phone has more features for our meetings and allows our webinars to work seamlessly.
Chose Zoom Phone
Well Zoom crashes allot so I wouldn't say it holds up great. But Zoom has it's benefits the way things are integrated.
Chose Zoom Phone
Many more features on queue rules, team chats and meetings.
Chose Zoom Phone
Price point was about the same but Zoom included more features for the price. Also the ISO mobile app was better. We were also about to drop Calendly and save some money using the native Zoom app.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Phone seems much better. Nextiva never trained us, or explained the new features. It always seemed to be "in development." Zoom seems more ready for action.
Chose Zoom Phone
User management is easier with Zoom Workplace and for larger meetings and calls offers a larger feature set and better recording options when appropriate. Interactive chat for group meetings is easy to use and encourages participation and attentiveness. The cloud features for …
Chose Zoom Phone
we use teams for internal meetings and internal collaboration. It fits oue environment better. However the phone system from Zoom Workplace is much easier to setup and use than Zoom Workplace calling is.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Workplace checks WAY more boxes than any of these, except I believe that BlueJeans had more permissions (facilitator, moderator, etc.)
Chose Zoom Phone
zoom is better for mobile working.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Workplace does well with both phone communications, meeting communications, and conference room capabilities. It's chat capabilities are inferior to Microsoft Teams as Teams has a higher integration with other utilized tools.
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Workplace beat all competitors on price. Interface was easy to learn and use and we had already tried Zoom Workplace for meetings before adding phone services so we liked the idea of having that integrated in a single service. SMS messaging and interoffice chat became …
Chose Zoom Phone
I joined this company after they had already chosen Zoom Workplace is very functional but too confusing for the ties to our e mail addresses, document sharing, etc...I don't feel great about using it and who sees what.
Chose Zoom Phone
The main reason why we switched to Zoom Phone is because our VOIP system inexplicably went down for almost a month and no one could figure out what was wrong. Lumen was charging way more than Zoom Workplace, but could not get the system to work.
Chose Zoom Phone
I only have experience using Teams as an attendee. I believe the Zoom Workplace platform for meetings is easier to navigate.
Chose Zoom Phone
We use Teams still for most things, but for video conferencing and phones we use Zoom Workplace because it is much better and more cost effective, hardware wise.
Chose Zoom Phone
Cheaper, faster, easier for the team to adapt to and use.
Chose Zoom Phone
Nextiva Business Phone Service and Mitel MiCollab
Chose Zoom Phone
Ease of use, pricing was much better, we had Zoom conferencing already so it made using the phone solution easy as we can use the same Zoom Client. The features were more robust than anything else we had seen for a cloud based telephone system. The troubleshooting tools are …
Chose Zoom Phone
Zoom Phone was much easier to manage and use than Cisco. It also allowed us to get off premises and into the cloud. We chose Zoom to move into the future of phone systems.

Zoom Phone/contact center was much easier to setup and use than TalkDesk. It was also quite a bit less …
Chose Zoom Phone
Cloudcall had worse call quality, more dropped calls, and no texting function. All three things improved when switching to Zoom Phone.
Chose Zoom Phone
Compared to Mitel, Zoom is a next-generation phone system that is significantly easier to use than Mitel or Teams.

Phone.com is a no-brainer. The cost savings over a POTS or in-house PBX system are tremendous. The affordability added on top of the easy to use and deploy features make Phone.com the best choice. Phone.com is well-suited for situations where you need other-than-standard call holding, call routing, and other similar advanced call features.

I think it works well for offices that have multiple locations. Being able to give each person and office their own extension makes it easier for colleagues to connect with each other, plus it's a costs savings for each of the offices

  • Transcribes voicemails. Great for those verbose folks that leave long voicemails.
  • Loud and clear volume quality! Great in a busy office with lots of people talking.
  • Easy to keep track of who has called me. Has Caller ID which is helpful.

Cons
  • Phone.com has been excellent with support and I can not think of any areas for improvement with regards to that
  • Phone.com could provide more graphical assistance when programming call routing. A visual indication of the flow of a call should be presented and would come in handy when planning out difficult ques/call routes

  • We needed to link each of our team members' personal emails to the Zoom account so we have to filter VM notifications out of our personal accounts.
  • It'd be nice if you could set business hours through the webpage to include a lunch break so that you don't have to manually go in to edit.

Almost perfect. Transformed from just being on my mobile phone. The phone has moved from a ituility to a value driving service in the business. Nobody yet has an AI to help manage the system. Come on Zoom, seems an obvious AI use case.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Zoom Phone has a very sleek design which makes it very easy to operate and use both in the setting up of and interacting in a meeting space. That being said, certain features can seem a bit crowded while trying to screen share or display video which somewhat defeats the purpose of the application as compared to a standard conference call.

Support have been great during the time for implementing Zoom Phones to our team of 50 people. There were times where they kept supporting us through links but more and more we had actual people getting back to us via emails so we are very happy overall. The product is so great, too.
