RingCentral Contact Center vs. RingEX

Call quality is strong for both video and audio calls. I do not have issues with that. I like the user interface and find navigation very easy. RingCentral provides an AI integration for meeting summaries, transcriptions, and meeting notes, which we use heavily. The texting feature is also a great bonus.

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.

• They have an app so you do not miss any calls or messages from your customers or leads.
• RingCentral has everything you need especially if you're working remotely. Therefore, you do not need to use other software.
• They automatically transcribe the calls as well so if I miss something this normally helps.

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.

• I would like to be able to text from our main office line rather than only my office direct line, so I can keep my direct line private
• I wish it was easier for all users to be able to toggle between calls ringing at their desk phone and cell phone
• It would be nice if the process to add other team member's numbers to our desk phone screen was easier

Incentivized

• 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

We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service

Incentivized

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.

RingCentral Contact Center is not just only an app or platform which allows the company to manage the telephone calls, messaging functions, social media and emails, but also allows advanced features like the possibility of easy integration with other industrial systems, and customer/call analysis functions as well. It also supports and included with AI technology as well into some extent.

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.

Incentivized

We honestly did not need much support but whatever we wanted was resolved via email and that experience was nice but took a bit of time

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

I really didn't know all the capabilities

It was really straightforward to get our phone number ported over and start using the platform. The agent walked us through the steps and we were able to configure everything ourselves. Much easier to setup than some of the other platforms

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

All of them are good choices, but if you're looking for something where all of these are included, it must needs be RingCentral Contact Center, All in one communication tool, don't worry about communication outages, RingCentral Contact Center updates in out of office schedules, if you're looking for "The Experience" RingCentral is the best choice.

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

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

• Elimination of downtime. Our previous provider (ShortTel/Mitel) had at least 2 major outages per year. It's been smooth sailing with the RingCentral Contact Center!
• Our company has seen 10% + growth over the last few years since switching to the RingCentral Contact Center. I'm sure the improvements in our uptime/backend integration have contributed to that growth on the sales front.
• We have been able to seamlessly add/remove seasonal staff as needed to better support our busy season demand. This has had an impact on our overall customer satisfaction.

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.
