Cisco Business Edition 7000: The best VoIP Phones For Organizations
We use the Cisco Business Edition 7000 series in our organization to get connected to our team mates and they are most reliable. They are easy to use and provide great functionality when it comes to call our employees. The product has got great features and functionality. Communicating over a normal mobile handset is quite hectic as some organization do not allow phones in working hour and also the network are quite unstable some time hence it become difficult to call the employees when there is some need and urgency. This is where cisco phones comes in picture and solve our day to day problem. They are very reliable and make our work easy.
- Cisco Business Edition 7000 have got best voice quality and they are very reliable.
- The phone is embedded with security and encryption features and interception of call is very tough and difficult. So they are very secure.
- The phones are portable and easy to carry which make it a best choice.
- The User interface of phone could be better and it can be more interactive. The options are complex.
- The configuration part is tough as we need to select them manually through buttons which make it a difficult task.
- If the bandwidth of network is low we may face some noise disturbance and jitter in voice.
- There should be proper documentation available for configuration part so that anyone with good knowledge can do it.

Cisco Business Edition 7000 works fine but I wonder if it's significantly different from the 6000 series.
This series is primarily used for phone/telecommunications purposes by our department and by many other offices at my organization. It runs smoothly but is reliant on a good internet connection. There are times when the internet goes out for any number of reasons, which affects phone usage. Or if there is a power outage, the phone has often disconnected or become non-functional.
- Voicemail message are retained for a lengthy period of time.
- It efficiently allows for users to phone colleagues in other departments by the extension number.
- Headset usage comes in handy.
- Speaker phone capability works well.
- Too reliant on internet to run smoothly.
- The volume for the ringer on the phone does not go down all the way.
- Some of the buttons alongside the screen aren't clear as to what they are/do

The perfect collaboration platform.
Cisco Business Edition 7000 is being used throughout the organization and is deployed at headquarters. All branches and headquarters are interconnected with a site-to-site VPN through MPLS links, prioritizing voice and video traffic. With these links, it allowed the company to upgrade the telephone system with the acquisition of the BE7000. Telephone calls between the company's locations are no longer cost-effective, generating huge savings. The solution provides other technologies in addition to telephony, such as videoconferencing, messaging, voicemail, call recording ,and management systems.
- The platform supports up to 5,000 users connected at the same time in voice and video calls.
- Everything is virtually deployed on Cisco servers with reliability.
- Intuitive configuration and user-friendly web interface.
- It has several types of IP phones and is compatible with legacy and multi-brand hardware with SIP protocol.
- Solution is expensive with all server software and hardware warranties.

Zip through your Cisco UC deployments using BE7K
I've set up collaboration nodes for a few of our customers. Used this to support small-sized and medium-sized deployments. Small being under 1000 users and medium being a 3000 user set up. Application servers came pre-installed/pre-deployed, so that saved a lot of our time which usually would've been spent in downloading iso files copying them to datastores and setting up the nodes.
- The fact that the nodes come pre-installed.
- Easy to set up.
- Saves a lot of installation, pre-installation time.
- Integrated email notifications on hardware failure.
- Expensive

Great product!
It's being used across the whole organization, except the customer's branches. At the time of implementation, there were no problems on the servers. I have installed publisher, subscribers, expressway C and E, and unity connection, although the servers have space to create more virtual machines. As of today, I have more than a thousand registered users.

- Powerful
- Flexible
- Licensing
- VMware knowledge
- Some bugs over CIMC

All in one UC platform to drive the enterprise
Cisco BE7K was used by our organisation as a mid-size branch communication platform. With all the necessary UC apps included in one solution BE7K brought all the UC services that Cisco offers within one box, which really removed the complexity for us as end users.
- All in one platform that includes all the Cisco UC services in one appliance.
- All the services are ready to use and preconfigured.
- Tools available improve productivity and user experience.
- More cloud based services need to be added to the default service package.
- Companies frequently require a small contact center within the UC environment. It would be nice to see a build it contact center in the box.
- It would be nice to see some advanced AI based services (IVR voice recognition service) in the BE7K application list.
- Call recording should be also built in.
