We use it along with our customer processing and support team to answer every segmented queries as well as sending out personalized messaging content to every user we have ever reached out to . The calling feature is something which we have also enabled for our internal communications because of its seamless and easier intergrations
  • Voice calling with anyone registered in the directory
  • Video calling with anyone registered in the directory
  • Messaging with anyone in and out of the registered directory
  • Insights about the entire workflow and the services offered for
  • The voice calling application is definitely not the best when it comes to selecting various user enhanced options and connectivity
  • The video calling feature can be equipped with modern day features from competitors like google voice , viber
  • The messaging needs to have seamless automation integration options for better and enhanced usage
Fuze is best suited for internal communication sas it is perfectly synchronized for moderate scale communication channels and offering the features of exclusiveness. It definitely cannot be seen as a great alternative for replacing the modern day customer support chat bot and voice calling features offered by other peers in the industry

Fuze is being used by the whole organization. After we merged with WeddingWire we got stuck using it because it was cheaper. It addresses the use of a phone system for contact center users and regular users. It gave our sales team SMS capability so they can text sales leads and current customers.
  • UcaaS.
  • Browser based app ability.
  • Salesforce integration is horrible.
  • Their support team is lackluster.
  • The CSMs and account managers aren't knowledgeable about phone systems.
  • Fuze is NOT a contact center system. They need to merge with somebody like Serenova.
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.

Fuze is the cornerstone of our business operations. We utilize the Contact Center package for our BDC and Collection efforts. The tools make it easy for our staff to view current volume and ensure low wait times. Also we have created an interactive IVR that helps us record all closings for consistency and a clear compliant close.
  • Easy to Deploy services and configurable by non-IT individuals
  • Reporting has always been very easy and provides valuable insight
  • Telephony that just works and is completely stable.
  • Support always could use improvement. But this is the case at any organization.
  • Investment in additional Contact Center tools
  • Provide more self-help abilities
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.

Fuze is being used across the entire company as our primary form of audio communications as well as our customer facing help desk system. We've replaced our traditional PRIs and gone completely VOIP. It replaces our old legacy and out of date platform and provides us a single uniform solution across all offices that can be managed anywhere.
  • The application for audio calls works great. It's been well designed and is updated frequently
  • Audio quality has always been good both on mpls and regular internet
  • The implementation team was great! On the ball and had solutions/answers to all of our issues during go live
  • The collaboration piece doesn't work well. Demo'd it but doesn't compare to WebEex in terms of functionality and stability.
  • Support team is lacking. Slow responses, unanswered questions, needed prodding and escalation.
  • Backend UIi is not user-friendly. The UI is dated and lacks cohesiveness. There are still references to thinkingphones.com and tools are scattered amongst different websites.
Fuze would be ideal for smaller businesses at this point. It doesn't feel enterprise/call center ready. Workarounds as well as other companies are involved to provide a complete solution (such as inContact - needed for true functionality for customer support). We're unable to manage all things easily as they're not laid out logically as well quite a few things can only be accomplished by reaching out to support which takes time.

We were tasked with creating a UC infrastructure that would scale with our company's acquisitions. We had very old hardware (Avaya and ShoreTel, Cisco, Nortel, and a few other small PBX devices), we needed something that would deploy fast and unite all our users on a common platform. After evaluating a number of vendors we chose Fuze for it's scalability, price, and common UC Features that we needed across our growing enterprise (we started with 5,000 licenses and are scaling up to 15,000). Fuze is our single point Unified Communications platform.
  • Handing off a call from wifi to the cellular voice/data seamlessly
  • Persistent chat across all your devices
  • Calling features across multiple desktops and mobile devices
  • Desktop Sharing and collaboration
  • Web UI needs to have the ability to make phone calls
  • We did a lot of number forwarding in our old platform, with Fuze sometimes this is cumbersome
  • Better support of SIP/ATA endpoints
Fuze would be my go-to tool for any business, whether 5 employees or 50,000 employees. They unite all your users on a common communication platform that has chat, voice, and video, desktop sharing, voicemail, call flow features, advanced call routing, queueing, and distribution. Fuze is really the choice I'd recommend for anyone.

We are in the process of replacing all our aging PBX systems across all Departments at all our UK sites with Fuze Voice. Long term we also see this as a global deployment. It addressed a reliability issue predominantly but has also given us a full collaborative platform to change the way we work as a business.
  • Cloud deployment, so minimal Capital Expenditure investment.
  • Scalable and flexible to allow for growth.
  • Grants the ability to deploy globally at a lower pricepoint and with easier configuration.
  • Integration with Office 365 could be better.
  • Presence indicators could do with improvement.
  • Better integration with Headset manufacturers would be advised.
Well suited to agile enterprises who have adopted a cloud first strategy. Less suited to huge office deployments based in single countries.
