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.

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.

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 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.

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 has allowed our local and remote workers to keep in touch using chat, calls, video conferencing, and call queues. Having a single solution that has our needed functionality has allowed for improved support and training throughout the organization. The offering is very dependent on network capabilities (LTE/WiFi) so taking calls from mobile devices can be difficult.

I would recommend Fuze if you are a small shop that is starting up, or you don't want to use advanced analytics. They are cost effective, and their customer support is really top notch.

If you want to integrate with several other platforms, or have advanced analytics I would not use Fuze. They try very hard, but their integration with outside software is subpar

Fuze has a pretty stable platform. The software is bright and colorful. It's user friendly. However, the size of the Fuze Desktop can only be minimized to certain point. User would love to make it smaller. Also, to many pop window when a call comes in. Also, the call center would love to make it smaller in the corner of there computer and make it stay on top. Voicemail also needs some one. The prompts can be confusing.

Fuze functionality is somewhat limited when compared to other offerings. Recent updates have taken into account feedback that has been provided to team and has increased usability and features. Incoming calls and screen sharing UX improvements have been appreciated! While still difficult to reach support the recent updates have made the over use of the application better! Keep up the good work!

Fuze is well suited for phone set up and support for conference calls and office phones. I haven't used Fuze in any other areas so I cannot speak to its other abilities. The app is also a plus for Fuze users.

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.

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.

Fuze is good, not great

Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review

We have great success using the toolset for overall connectivity remote and in office. The two major areas where we see the most trouble are with reporting and onboarding. Reporting admins, specifically in the contact center, have issues forecasting and trending on specific details over time. The issue with the onboarding process is that it is incomplete and largely manual for us. We are working on OKTA integration but this is moving slow with delays from both sides. But the biggest issue with this is setting up new users. Even with OKTA, not all fields would be covered and many of our users would need to be manually updated. Areas like call recording settings are not fully covered through OKTA.

97% of the time it is well suited for general users, collaboration, meetings, and call center business. It is the remaining time in which it is unreliable that is concerning.
