Fuze Reviews

Fuze is great for replacing an on-site telecommunication PBX system and can be done with a short amount of time, depending on how you need it setup. With the mobile app, you don't have to worry about forwarding your phone to another number, like your cell, or having to provide your personal cell number if you're out of the office frequently.

I wouldn't recommend it for a contact center solution because it can get pricey if you're a large business and everyone will be using desk phones. You also won't be able to access the desk phones' admin settings for specific configurations because it's not allowed with their service. If you're using the desktop app, then that can be an inexpensive solution for a contact center but is updated frequently, which can cause it to act unstable at times. In all, Fuze is a pretty solid system.

Support is not always knowledgeable of telecommunication technology, which can cause a waste of time on consumer's end, as well as frustration depending on how severe the issue is.

Fuze would be suited for any company that is smaller in size and is looking for a product that helps with inbound and outbound calls because it a very cost-effective software for this purpose. I think as our company gets bigger we needed some additional options that fuze didn't have and also needs to build in a callback feature.

Fuze has a great knowledge article that has helped me several times troubleshoot an issue. I am not in IT but I was able to go their community page and find the solution to our issue and we are able to ensure that the issue was fixed and get the individual up and running quickly.

We are a virtual company and all work from home. When we made the decision to move to Fuze we were told that we were a perfect fit for the application. We are now being told that our environment may not be conducive for use with Fuze. We never had any issues with Skype for Business, but now with Fuze we are being told that not all headsets are supported. We use Plantronics headsets and have never had a problem before. Even if I was to switch headsets within the company, we are not able to control what our clients are using in meetings.

They are very unresponsive and all our issues we are being told are our systems. We are just trying to use the application with the use of Plantronics headsets and an internet connection.

Fuze is great for companies that want to rid themselves of physical phone systems and have an all-in-one solution for voice, video, and collab! Setting up the Fuze system takes a bit of time, but adding new users is fairly simple once setup. Fuze isn't as responsive as we would like them to be sometimes, but once they get in contact with you, issues can be resolved fairly quickly.

The support is lacking in some areas. It seems like submitting tickets in the support site disappears on their end sometimes.

Fuze has a very consistent and unified user experience for all features/products within a single application. The experience is identical for all users regardless of the region. The tool is very intuitive and simple to learn.

One feature enhancement is alignment on ring capabilities so that all 3 points of presence are aligned. For example, when I silence the ring on one of my devices, the ring should be silenced on all devices at the same time. Very often, I'm working at my desk with a desk phone, desktop application, and mobile phone. Often, even in a meeting. I would like to Reject the call on a single device and have that carry over to all other systems.

The other feature I'd like to see is tighter Office 365 integration with meetings scheduled in Fuze. Specifically, I'd like for the Fuze meeting scheduler to create the event within Office 365 at the same time it's being scheduled in Fuze.

I've had several instances where I needed to continue to follow up to resolve an issue through the normal channels. The capabilities and willingness to help always seem present when I get them on the phone, but through email and typical ticketing tools, the response time and attention are significantly lower.

Fuze works very well for peer to peer calls, and the meetings work very well also. Contact Center, although not much exposure to general use, seems to have been well received. Messenging is a weaker point I think, it misses off some functionality offered by other competitors. The client itself I like, but feedback from others is that the layout/design could do with some improvement to make it flow better.

Generally, Fuze support is timely, polite and will help to resolve our issues. Over time it has got better as the support staff has started to understand our environment more.

From my experience, Fuze is well suited for small to medium-sized companies that need heavy collaboration. For larger companies, it might be wise to look elsewhere. Fuze components do go down regionally from time to time. While they are good at alerting you of any current problems, a larger company might need something with a stronger SLA.

Fuze support is very responsive and quick to meet customer needs. We have had no issue getting our problems resolved in a timely manner. They communicate well via StatusPage.io about any potential outages or planned maintenance. They do a great job onboarding as well. We had a very in-depth rep assigned to make sure our implementation went as smooth as possible.

I think Fuze is well suited as a VoIP system for a spread out, moderately sized company. I think its Softphone really opens the possibility for people to work remotely without losing their connection to the company.
I think that companies should do their research and make sure their hardware/network is up to snuff if you intend on doing a Softphone-only deployment, or purchase physical desk phones. Their Softphone software is nice and convenient, but I wouldn't depend on it company-wide.

I think Fuze is a good product in general, but there are a number of things that in my circumstance don't work the way I want. Their support needs some major work.
With my previous VoIP vendor, I was able to direct users to their support for phone-related issues. While it didn't happen often, it was nice being able to allow end-users to work directly with their support. Fuze does not allow this, and so there end up being those situations where you're playing man-in-the-middle trying to translate and interpret what each side is saying, with typically long delays in response.

Fuze's Softphone is a nice piece of software, but be aware if you use it as the primary means of making calls. Be sure your network and computer hardware are configured properly and is compatible.

Fuze is well suited for the growing enterprise that is looking to combine meeting/webinar tools, a phone system, and an instant message system into a single platform. Fuze also provides an excellent onboarding process with key stakeholders to ensure that all needs and questions are met before the go-live date. Fuze has a large array of quick video tutorials for those that need additional instruction in utilizing many of the features of the Fuze application and platform.

I have had limited cause to contact support, but when contacting them, they can take a day or two before you receive any sort of response. I am also including the support team's ticketing system, which is through SalesForce, and that overall feels clunky and can be difficult to utilize.

UCaaS solutions are at the forefront of telephony. Any organization who isn't considering UCaaS as a replacement for traditional "Digital" PBX platform will be left behind. Fuze offers a lot of functionality within a single easy to use platform, at a good price point.

Fuze support has improved over the last 24 month, the hard work is starting to pay off, however, there's always room for improvement.

For offices with an international work agenda, Fuze Voice fits perfectly, especially for business people. It may not be so good for personal use, as the prices are better for companies.

They take awhile.

As a Service Desk professional, I see that Fuze works very well with our end-users, and is relatively painless to administer. For Fuze being deployed company-wide in a good-sized organization like the one I work for, I'd say Fuze could be tailored to work with many other organizations with ease.

Customer service has always been great to us at Spectrum. I have nothing but positive words to say.

Fuze is very good around collaboration, meetings are simple to set up once initial familiarity is done. The telephony is consistently of a high quality and very reliable which keeps the users happy. The chat functionality is improving and becoming more useful and being picked up as a tool by a growing number of users. Fuze lacks the flexibility of being able to compete with WebEx regarding remote control of a computer for someone who does not have Fuze installed. This is required by customer support personnel dealing with customers who need to have an issue resolved but cannot install software without change control.

I think it is improving but as I said previously there is a stress on the billing side of the business which gives a perhaps unfairly poor impression of support. The recent interaction that I have had with Support is definitely better and from my experience as good as it has been.

It integrated well to BullHorn CRM, which we used to call clients, and there was a click to dial functionality, which made dialing out a lot easier. Perhaps it was the way it was set up, but whenever a remote user called in, it rang on everyone's phone's, even if you were calling just your Manager, for example.

Pretty poor, in fact, very poor indeed. As a new user, I had to set up my phone extension myself and tailor some things. There were issues with the setup and then, a few months in, more issues still. Calling support was a nightmare. You'd be on hold for hours, then they would take days/ weeks to come back to you, not even with a fix.

I feel like Fuze may be better suited for inter-company chat, inter-company calls, and dialing out or receiving calls from customers/prospects. I am not sure if Fuze is the best tool for video chat and screen-sharing, however, I did not have the need for that functionality most of the time so it wasn't as relevant to me.

I didn't use support much at all, but the few times I did they were responsive and helpful.

Fuze is good for small companies needing call center type handling of calls and easy to route calls.

Support calls are never resolved on the phone and only create a ticket to be worked on. Support is slow to pickup tickets and start working them and most communications happen through email and not on the phone delaying the time it takes to resolve issues.

Fuze excels at being an affordable, basic contact center. It's a poor choice if you need to customize every aspect of the user experience.

The support reps I've been working know the platform well but sometimes the response time is poor.

Well suited for a cloud-based Phone instead of a physical phone.

Technical Support Team is responsive as well as the Account Team.

I think you need to be in a user base of at least 50 or so to reap the benefits. A small company with one location and no remote users may not need the flexibility and feature-rich Fuze environment.

I have used both online and telephone support and have been completely satisfied. The overwhelming majority of our support requests have been user provisioning and de-provisioning, and with the introduction of the Fuze Hub recently I'm in a self-service mode. The only real tech support was right after go-live getting our firewall rules perfect. We have had no support calls for dropped calls or poor quality in two years. Support has been great, just haven't needed much of it.

Stable, quality platform, cloud PBX and self-service through hub.fuze.com makes operation and administration easy.

Setting up new users is a big thing that Fuze does well and it's something that helps save time as well. There have been a couple of times where we've needed to get some last minute new hires setup quick. Using the Fuze hub lets me create a user, assign their service, assign a number, and assign them to a brand new phone in about 10-15 minutes. I don't need to put in a support ticket and wait for their team to do it.

Their support team is great at responding in a timely manner. There is rarely a case that sits in the queue for a long time and doesn't get assigned to someone. They know their systems well and can often reply with the steps necessary to fix the problem the first time. This way you can get back to other tasks instead of waiting for support.

Fuze is well suited for day to day communications between teams. It is also well suited for the sales organization who take inbound and outbound customer calls. Our technical support team also uses Fuze and it works well for them as well. Fuze would be less suited if using on a machine which uses a lot of CPU, as audio quality may be affected.

Fuze support was really slow to respond to our requests when we first implemented Fuze in our organization. We had to have weekly meetings at first to address our issues. However, Fuze Support has improved over time and working with our Customer Success Manager and the escalations team, we see a big improvement.

Fuze is a great fit for organizations that do not have a heavy IT staff. The training is super easy and simple and can scale with your growth.

Support staff ebbs and flows with the business. When Fuze experiences sharp growth support times can lag while trying to get up to speed.

Voice calling and ACD are great uses. I would not at this time be able to recommend the conferencing piece.

We use support frequently and normally get fast and good service.

Because it just works. That's what I need my phone system to do.

Basic collaboration and 1:1 video and conference calls when it works well.

Engagement is poor. Issues can drag on for over 2 weeks. Very frustrating for a business operation. Handover from US to EMEA support is not seamless.

Fuze is a good softphone solution if you are implementing it within the U.S.
Worldwide, the company needs to adjust itself to different time zones and improve the quality of the audio service. Technical support also needs serious improvement.

First level tech support is clumsy and there's a lack of solution or tools to respond. It takes a few days to coordinate responses to different time zones. There's a lack of knowledge on other geography regulations.
