Chose RingEX
Prior we had been using business lines at my firm, so this is my first experience with a web-based phone app.
Chose RingEX
This was a solution that we could not only use in house as our primary VOIP service, but we could also support and resell to our member offices. The cost savings and deals that RingEX will work out to win new business has been a major win for both ourselves and our customers.
Chose RingEX
We received quotations for 9 solutions (including RingCentral) but overall, whilst not the cheapest solution, RingCentral came out on top for value for money, without compromising on features & accessability/ease of use.

Other than NFON, we also looked at other solutions, …
Chose RingEX
RingEX is more expensive, but the increased reliability was worth it for us. We also liked the support experience better on RingEX.
Chose RingEX
I haven't used Vonage in a while, but we never had issues with it and we've had several issues with RingEX. This could be based on how the franchisor has chosen to implement the product.
Chose RingEX
RingEX beat Fuze in every single department: cost, function, reliability, features. It is more stable than Microsoft Teams although not as widely adopted only because it's not Microsoft. 8x8 while a decent platform, just was not as "mature" in its application as RingEX. We …
Chose RingEX
The reporting part and the easy implementation, as well as the support provided convinced us to make the transition and improve the services provided. A very important part is the data where we must support our decisions, without easy to download or create reports, it was all a …
Chose RingEX
We ultimately chose to go with RingEX because of their unified interface. At the time that we purchased their service, there wasn't another software that did exactly what RingEX does.
Chose RingEX
During the tender process, we met with several other vendors. During this phase, we realized that RingEX was the only vendor we were investigating, and it was its own telecom provider – instead of offering phone software running on someone else’s network. So, we figured, ‘Why …
Chose RingEX
RingEX provided a more cost effective and complete solution than the competitors we evaluated. Reliability and call quality was of paramount concern for us. RingEX provided a higher level of reliability than many of the competitors we evaluated.
Chose RingEX
8x8 was clunky. App did not always work and calls were not always pushed through
Chose RingEX
The difference between RingEX and the Mitel products is night and day. Mitel was very clumsy to use, administer, and support. The interfaces are light years better than Mitel's, and the reliability is second to none. We used to have all kinds of issues with Mitel, but since …
Chose RingEX
Better cost as well as reliability.
Chose RingEX
The three options that I mentioned above do not have all of the features that RingEX has, which makes them less efficient and competitive.
Chose RingEX
We have migrated from Mitel to RingEX and compared it to the Mitel solution that we had previously used. People would always complain about the old system and would not use the mobile applications, and since migrating over from Mitel then, most people are now using the mobile …
Chose RingEX
RingEX has improved our call handling with few to no outages. We are able to monitor call response time, call length, and client responses.
Chose RingEX
There were other providers that I looked at as well, but I don’t recall their names. One obstacle I kept running into was finding a provider that allowed us to use our existing Yealink desk phones. The phones were not cheap or attractive, and having a hardware phone works well …
Chose RingEX
OpenPhone had HORRIBLE call quality over and over again. I rarely experienced a call with good call quality. Their support kept saying my issue was my internet connection. However, since I moved to RingEX, I have experienced just a few call quality issues, meaning that many of …
Chose RingEX
It's reliable I trust it and again it's reviewed better than the competition. Going from a PBX-type atmosphere, the RingEXs are a better alternative and more flexible, so I'm sure I'll be using RingEX for my businesses going forward. RingEX is a good phone system and service.

RingCentral
RingEX is a great solution if you want reliability and flexibility. We can trust that our phones are just going to work when we need them. Our users love the ability to be able to use the app on their mobile phones or computers when they are on the go. The ability to review the call logs makes troubleshooting very easy. The call quality is also very good.

Pros
RingCentral
  • VOIP calling - call quality is excellent and has replaced our traditional landline phones
  • Video meetings - video quality is great(provided you have a good webcam) and the video features(multiple hosts, screen sharing, multiple room management) is 2nd to none.
  • Screen sharing - As an unexpected benefit, the ability to do a screen share has helped our IT crew in being able to remotely diagnose and fix problems with faculty or staff machines.

Cons
RingCentral
  • Pricing for SMB space is high compared to other solutions
  • Still lagging behind 8x8 with desk phone support and integrations
  • UI for managing Limited Extensions is significantly more cumbersome than user extensions
  • Video meeting software still lags behind industry leaders (such as Zoom and MS Teams)
  • No licensing option for Common Area Phones with routing features

We are grandfathered into our unlimited toll-free minutes plan. We are very unlikely to switch because of that. It has been the major factor saving us a lot of money compared to switching to other solutions. I don't know any other company that still offers these unlimited plans.

Usability
RingCentral
They were working on updating a few of the modules while we were going live, so this made usability difficult to train on once they did go live with those changes. Now that the changes are in place, we have really enjoyed the usability of the platform

Reliability and Availability
RingCentral
It is quite reliable, we have the support of being able to identify failures and escalate it, also monitor the failures that are posted on the web about the status of the failures and evolutions. Its easy start-up and access allow us to have better performance and productivity, which in the long run turns into benefits.

Performance

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.

Support Rating
RingCentral
I have called RingEX a few times for assistance in setting up call handling or implementing changes in our call handling structure. The wait time to speak with an agent is usually minimal and the ones I have spoken to are excellent at walking me thru what changes I am trying to make as well as ensuring I understand what is being done so I can handle it myself next time if the need arises.

Implementation Rating
RingCentral
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.

Alternatives Considered
RingCentral
During the tender process, we met with several other vendors. During this phase, we realized that RingEX was the only vendor we were investigating, and it was its own telecom provider – instead of offering phone software running on someone else’s network. So, we figured, ‘Why not cut out the middleman and partner with a cloud communication provider that also knows how to run a phone network?' More than any other cloud communication vendor, RingEX seemed to understand what we wanted. They listened to our needs and came back with a proposed solution that proved they heard us. They never tried to sell us on bells and whistles they knew we didn’t need. That’s what you want in a tech partner.

Scalability
RingCentral
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.
