RingEX vs. Ringostat

A basic phone system with all of the "extras" makes a small business look much more significant. Their growth into AI features is fantastic and can be used to reduce the effort of call management dramatically. While pretty much like all of them, voicemail is easy to work with. You'd probably need an administrator to manage personnel changes in a larger environment.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Calltracking service. You can track sources of your calls (ads campaigns), also you can set up calls as goals in Google Analytics.
• Virtual PBX service. You can set up your own call center with voice menu for different schemes of routing calls.
• Works with your CRM. You can get all the info about your client from the CRM right before the call.
• Integrates with different services. You have ready integrations for Google Analytics and amoCRM.
• Rich API. You can build your custom solution with simple API.
• Productivity reports. You have all analytics about work of your managers and track their personal efficiency.

Incentivized

• Customer support is rudimentary. They should improve tier 1 customer support's ability to understand our needs rather than asking customers to reinstall the app
• Revolving door of account managers, which causes loss of continuity in discussing opportunities
• Analytics is not complete. Details about faxing and web meetings is missing.

Incentivized

• Lacking of full support for end-to-end analytics.
• Price. It might be expensive for small companies with a not so huge amount of traffic.

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.

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

We recently had nearly an entire day of downtime where the RIngCentral network was experiencing issues with incoming and outgoing calls. In the past year there have been more service related issues than ever before, which makes me wonder if RingCentral network is not robust enough to handle all the users

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.

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.

I really didn't know all the capabilities

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.

There is a more reliable connection and communication. The dashboard is easier to use, and the reports that can be generated are more in tune with our business needs. It is easy to review calls and pull them, which was much harder with Vonage.

We chose this service because of these reasons: 1. It's an all-in-one solution for virtual PBX and call tracking. 2. The ability to fully track the personal efficiency of our managers. 3. It's a complete solution, our manager could call from the browser without installing apps, also service provided full info about the client before calling. 4. All calls can be recorded, so we had all the history of calls to check out the work of our managers. 5. Has a trial period to check out if this solution could satisfy our needs.

not to sign up for it or give them any money for a product that does not work

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.
