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.

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.
Cons
  • 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.
BE7K is well suited for small/medium enterprise environments. It has all the necessary UC toll that is required for any modern knowledge worker. I don't see any other cases where it is not suited. The platform is amazing and suits any use cases whenever the Unified Communication is required.

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.
Cons
  • 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 are well suited for the environment where we need regular communication as they are easy to dial and has got great features. The product is well suited for both small business and large enterprises. Speed dial, good voice quality are key features of Cisco phones.
They are not well suited in scenarios where we do not have LAN connectivity or internet. Sometimes we may face latency and jitteriness which is not good.

  • The ROI is good and we have attend a good profit.
  • The product saves a lot of time of the employees and there working hour become useful and able to solve our problem.
  • The hardware support is not good as sometimes semi conductor chips become faulty due to power issue hence we encounter some loss.
Cisco Business edition are very comfortable and got great functioning. This name is a brand in market and the support from their side is very good. The life support of phones is very good. They have embedded with good security features and algorithm so interception become difficult by anyone. They are very reliable and has got great voice quality which makes it a best for every type of businesses. The support from Cisco is very good which I like the best.

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.

Before Cisco Business Edition 7000, the installation was done on UCS servers. In them, I had to install everything from scratch, because it did not have VMware installed.

  • Ease the communication between employee.
  • Image that company uses Cisco devices.
We choose Cisco Business Edition 7000 over the other vendors as the relationship between us and Cisco was very good. Regarding support, in implementation and support after implementation, we faced some issues but found great support in troubleshooting and fixing all problems. Also the great performance of Cisco Business Edition 7000 over other vendors.
