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.
Cons
  • Integrated email notifications on hardware failure.
  • Expensive
Its well suited for small to medium scale deployments if the infra is in-house. Webex and other SaaS solutions are in demand these days and are cost-effective too, but if for some reason your deployments need a locally-managed data center, then go for the BE7K or the BE6K depending upon your requirement.

  • Easier and faster deployments.
  • Costly.
I've used 220s and 240s too, but it takes a lot of time to set them up, a lot of time to download the iso files, and set up of datastores. 7k saves the engineer a lot of pre-build assessment and evaluation time. Gets a lot done in a lot less time, returns are a happy engineer and a happier customer.

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.
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.

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.
