Fuze Reviews

Fuze works well in any type of operations, it works great in call center or contact center environment, especially their call recordings. It's very clear and audible.

I believe Fuze is extremely beneficial for call centers, help desks, and technical support teams. It gives you great mobility, you take your phone anywhere you like. It supports all environments, which is great. You can use it on iOS, Android, and Windows environment. Sound quality is always great without latency.

So far I haven't had to contact Fuze support, before migrating to Fuze, I did several tests and called colleagues from different parts of the world. The Asia Pacific region and U.S. region calls worked seamlessly. No latency observed; also, I did not experience any down time during my time with Fuze.

Very easy to use. You log in with your organization credentials. You can choose which device you want to use it on. If it needs to be embedded to SalesForce, then you have to stick to Windows. As for mobile units, you can install it on iOS or Android and make calls easily.

Fuze solution is well suited for all our technicolor sites in US region. Fuze has yet to come back with a resolution & need to identify a suitable solution for India & China. Fuze really needs to do some groundwork here. Fuze needs to be extra careful when assigning the DID's or porting the no's, we had some serious issues on the Burbank site & all our outgoing calls were barred due to this issue.

Fuze sometimes will breach the SLA for the issue raised by our helpdesk.

Overall fuze service is good.

Fuze is excellent where the simplicity of a fully cloud-based, turn-key solution is desired. There are plenty of options for customization, including an always improving Contact Center module to handle small-medium call centers without overly complex routing and IVR requirements. It is also well-suited for geographically disperse environments, and companies with a large number of adds, moves, and changes. Growing companies will appreciate the flexibility to increase from a handful of users in a single location to hundreds or even thousands of employees all around the globe without the need to migrate to a new system or replace expensive hardware appliances.

Our experience with Fuze support has been overall very positive. Their technicians seem to be well trained and able to handle a variety of requests and issues without unnecessary delays or extensive troubleshooting. Fuze allows enough customer access to avoid the need to call support for every little issue but is ready to assist when issues are beyond our capabilities to resolve.

Fuze seems like it would be best suited in an environment where employees are working remotely and would like to instantly communicate with each other as well as seeing employee statuses (away, busy, etc). Fuze does not seem very suitable where there is open communication within a finite area. I think Fuze is not bad in comparison to other phone systems like CenturyLink control center (awful experience). I also think Fuze can be pretty expensive so I think it is less appropriate with smaller businesses.

I prefer when a company communicates verbally through the phone as it allows for the fastest resolution time as well as realtime troubleshooting. I also gave that rating because some of the representatives have heavier than normal accents that make it very hard to understand over the phone conversations. I will say that the representatives are somewhat well educated on the product or have a good knowledge base to reference back to.

If you need solid VoIP service for your business with nice features it is a good solution.

This is one area of Fuze that needs work. It takes time to get to someone and I often need several calls to get a resolution.

Fuze has some bugs to work out like the constant errors on the desktop apps. Other than that it seems to be okay. I would recommend this product as it is very affordable compared to its competition.

Support has not been good in my case. Too long for resolutions and not enough documentation. For the size of my organization I would hope for better customer support. For example if a Verizon circuit goes down and affects Fuze, Fuze should notify their customers immediately that there is a problem. This is a logistics [issue] that can be modified for better customer support.

In our company, Fuze is used for a variety of things such as sales calls, customer support, and reaching out to internal employees, especially those who are working remotely. Obviously, since Fuze is a business VOIP this should not be used for personal calls or they probably don't want to keep giving out these numbers for personal use.

Fuze support has been great for us, they tend to reply on the same day, depending on the time our issue was sent out, obviously. So far all of the Fuze cases have been resolved. We were very satisfied with how well they were able to answer and explain the problem.

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.

There are other systems in the industry like inContact or NVM that are the Cadillac while Fuze is that old beat up Ford Pinto. There are so many contact center capabilities that are missing with Fuze. Now I see why Fuze is the joke of the industry among my peers. They don't listen to the customer for product ideas or enhancements. If you need a system that can work with Salesforce then look elsewhere.

You have to go back and forth with the support team numerous times before you get a resolution. Most of their support team is offshore so English isn't their first language so you get the language barrier as well. Then you ask the CSM or Account Manager (AM) for assistance and they are pretty clueless as well. Fuze needs more employees who actually know how a phone system works.

You have to rely on the Fuze app. Fuze needs to be able to work seamlessly in Salesforce to be able to compete with other vendors. Basically, they are great for UcaaS but less than desirable for CCaaS. It's like they are 20 years behind. Overall, Fuze is very easy to use and to get up and running. Not the best solution if you have multiple teams with complex IVRs.

It's easy to get Fuze across multiple sites and departments. It's not scalable for Salesforce due to lack of functionality

For existing PBX administrators, Fuze offers a lot of functionality but also provides complex legacy routing.
For users new to phone administration, Fuze can you help you with the set up but be aware there will be a learning curve.

Fuze a quality Cloud PBX and Collaboration Suite. It offers an all inclusive solution for small, medium, and enterprise businesses.

Well, Fuze would be well suited in big companies with a large number of employees, because it makes it easier for the employees to communicate within the company and with people outside as well. It is also cheaper than many telephony services. Fuze wouldn't be a good fit for very small companies in my opinion, small companies may not need such a complete tool and might be able to operate with something even cheaper.

Fuze support is the only section of Fuze that hasn't improved along the other sections in the application/company. That said, it did improve considerably, providing customers with better response times. Sometimes you still need to escalate your ticket and email certain people, but the improvement is noticeable from my perspective.

We had to implement teleworking very quickly for the majority of our employees. Thanks to Fuze we were able to implement this in a transparent way. Product updates cannot be done other than with an "Administrator" account (Launching as administrator does not work). Under MAC OS you must at least have the High Sierra version.

Support is fast and efficient.

Fuze has really helped us consolidate our multiple phone systems across our many sites. With one phone system, we were then able to port all of our different numbers from different carriers, over to Fuze. So our biggest win is in having one place to manage our environment. We have lots of workers mobile currently with the pandemic going on. Cloud-based phone systems are definitely a plus right now.

Fuze support is great. My whole team has used them several times. Shortly after we went live, the questions we forgot to ask came up. Fuze support was able to get us in shape. We have had a few issues with being assigned a support person in another country. That has made timing and resolution of issues a little longer than it needs to be. They will assign the ticket to a support engineer in the US if you ask.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
