It is being used by all of the employees on campus. It gave us unified communications for a lower price than continuing to upgrade our Mitel system.
  • It is very flexible in its configuration.
  • Very scalable.
  • It has been very reliable.
  • Easy to upgrade.
  • Reporting options could be better and easier to use.
  • It would be nice to be less complex.
It works well for us. We have 583 phone extensions or devices deployed. It is nice that we can put the same extension on multiple phones, rather than having to create a phantom extension, then add the DSS busy lamp to the phone. Employees love the voicemail to email integration. They would not live without it going forward.

We have been using this solution for over five years. We are very satisfied with its performance. BE600 is a great solution for corporate telephony systems; it allows us to have the entire corporate telephony on a single device. We have the integration with Active Directory for user management and it works pretty well. The solution is very complete because you can have the voicemail infrastructure on the same device. The performance of the solution is very good; it never crashes and is always up.
  • Device performance.
  • Integration with multiple vendors.
  • Quality of voice and video.
  • User management.
  • Pricing.
  • You need serious training to know how to configure it.
The Cisco Business Edition 6000 is an excellent option when you want to centralize your telephony infrastructure; you will only need a good VPN connection to the server from each site and this solution will work very well. The bandwidth that calls consume is not relevant.
If you have some devices from other vendors and handle SIP, you can stay with those devices because BE6000 can handle the integration for 3rd party SIP devices. If you need to improve business process agility and drive innovation, this is a recommended option.

Several locations in my organization have been using a Cisco BE6000 to provide voice services locally. These appliances are very convenient to deploy for small businesses and remote locations that are not connected to a larger enterprise system. They can be a self contained solution providing multiple services all in one package.
  • Flexibility of configuration
  • More cost effective to deploy at small to medium size locations
  • Great support
  • Cost could always be lower, but you get a solid product for your investment
  • Licensing can still be confusing if you need multiple products on the appliance
  • Redundancy/DR
We deployed the BE6000 at some small sites that were not well connected to the rest of our enterprise network to provide local voice services. The appliance was easy to deploy and configure for the use case. We even set up SIP trunking between the remote systems and our main enterprise system.
