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.
Cons
  • Solution is expensive with all server software and hardware warranties.
The platform is perfectly suited for collaboration involving everything related to integrated voice and video systems. It is easily installed on physical servers and virtualized and can be accessed remotely. The BE 7000 modernized the infrastructure with voice-over IP and generates complete reports on the telephone and video usage of users in all the company's regions for internal control and auditing. The solution can be recommended for medium and large scenarios from 1000 users up to a limit of 5000 users.

For one of the retail banking [sectors], we are deploying [the Cisco] business edition appliance. It comes under 2 [variants] namely 7000M and 7000H. We have gone ahead with 7000H considering it is built for [video-intensive] purpose. Our deployment model ckmsiso of video equipment [devices, servers, IP phones, and routers] all of [the Cisco] make to give [customers] a rich experience.
  • Easy to manage platform
  • Cost effective
  • Enhanced user experience
Cons
  • Licensing seems to be on costly side[.]
It supports around 8 to 10 collaboration applications. It's [cost-effective] considering [one-time] deployment.Helps in increasing productivity. Easy to deploy and manage platform.

Fully packed with calling, messaging, contact center, management, and meeting application, Cisco Business Edition 7000 is an all-in-one solution to meet all your on-premise collaboration needs.
  • All in one hardware platform to meet all needs for calling, meetings, messaging, contact center, and management.
  • Great performance, scalability, and reliability.
Cons
  • The provisioning of the system can get complicated.
  • Upgrade times can be better.
Cisco Business Edition 7000 is a great solution for small businesses and when stacked it can scale for big companies. When scalability comes into question, you can simply add more servers to add more applications that serve more users. The hearth of the solution, Cisco Unified Communications Manager is a proven reliable solution, but it needs some modern revamp on its core services to be less sluggish.

[Cisco Business Edition 7000] is being used by the whole organization as well as by our customers. This addresses the scalability to deploy a UC cluster. As this is a VM environment, this makes admin easy to manage.
  • Scalable
  • Easy to maintain and manage
Cons
  • [Cisco Business Edition 7000 could use a] session border controller feature
[Cisco Business Edition 7000 is] well suited for collaborations.

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.
  • Capacity
  • Powerful
  • Flexible
Cons
  • Licensing
  • VMware knowledge
  • Some bugs over CIMC
It is an appropriate product for companies with 1000 users and up to 3000 devices. It is a product that facilitates the implementation task since the VMWare ESXi is already installed along with its license and several virtual machines have already been created within it to facilitate implementation times on the client.
