    Chose RingEX
    Where each provider has very small differences, they all pretty much the same features. RingEX seems to be the one of the more stable platforms. Ease of programming and good voice quality.

    RingEX is a comprehensive product that doesn't require third-party software to support full business communication, so we chose it because it checked all the boxes and included the features businesses need to communicate seamlessly with internal and client teams.

    RingEX provided a more reliable, easy to use and consistant experience compared to the other platforms that we tested. While Teams is also used, it is far more complex and harder to manage for a smaller IT team. RingEX was able to provide the service without the huge overhead …

    Genesys Cloud is a full contact-center suite with more powerful Architect/IVR functionality, broader integration options, and more robust reporting. But, license costs are 4 - 5x RingCentral (or more), and so is overkill for the average "business user" who just needs a simple …

    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 …

    I think that RingCentral's RingEX compares well with other solutions, though, they do seem less reliable than Zoom and Five9.

    Against Vonage, RingCentral's RingEX is leagues ahead with more features and better call quality.

    Everything just works. The interface is easily the best we've used or tested. The applications available are so good that it was easy to move away from using a desk phone. The admin interface is also easily the best we've used or tested.The licensing model for Teams integration is our only currently minor issue. I'm hopeful that will improve as we would love to integrate.

    Pros
    RingCentral
    • Quick provision of new numbers to match business requirements.
    • Per-user and per-queue routing options to allow calls to end where you want (e.g., forwarding, multi-user answering, etc).
    • Geographically wide deployments - we have numbers from all across the globe, and we can stand up numbers even where we have no geographical presence.
    • No-hardware deployments. There is no need for on-premises hardware if you don't need it.
    • Bulletproof platform, we so rarely have any significant issues or widespread outages.

    Cons
    RingCentral
    • It will be nice to have more text room monthly.
    • Providing clear instructions on how to access features, as most features are buried in the tabs.
    • The ability to redial a number without having to go back to the settings buttons on the landlines will be nice.

    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.

    RingCentral
    Because it works great. In case there's a Wi-Fi issue, communication does not stop because the mobile app can be use with regular cell phone data. During one year + 3 months I've have the service, there's been only one time when there were issues on RingEX's side; however, the time of resolution was on the same day.

    Support Rating
    RingCentral
    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.

    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.

    We are using these products like (Skype, Voip, TextNow, and Second line), but comparatively these products the RingEX has a good performance, because while we were using the other platform, we didn't get proper communication, we couldn't reach out the candidate, we lags to much into spam number, we couldn't communicate properly and the textnow we couldn't sigin sometime. When we start to use RingEX, we get much better productivity and proper communication with our clients.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    RingCentral
    • Enhanced patient accountability, we can track all calls - incoming and outgoing - patients tend to state that they called and left a message, but they either never called or did not leave a message. With RingEX, we can track whether they really did. It saves us quite a bit of time and aggravation.
    • Faxing is more accurate and usually very quick. Because it's accurate, it saves us time with phone calls about faxes we never received and having to refax items. Also, faxing via the system instead of printing and scanning is a time-saver.
