Fuze is the softphone program for all phone numbers in the company, we removed all physical phones from all desks and now all calls are routed to Fuze either on the employees' desktop, or through the Fuze mobile app on their personal cell phone. This has allowed us to practically eliminate corporate cell phones entirely.

We use Fuze for instant messaging between coworkers, video meetings, and conference calls. The ability to send a text message from your work phone number to any other phone number is a great feature that we use on occasion as well. We also use Fuze to route calls to our Customer Service Agents through Nice In Contact CXone.

Fuze is used by our entire organization. Two business problems it addressed for us: We could download the app onto our cell phones and still appear to be in our office while working from home and/or we could easily forward all calls to our cell phone that were coming into our office desk phone. The other problem it solved for us is that it allowed us to make international calls from the Fuze app on our phone at a rate much better than what an employee would get using their personal cell phone service provider.

Fuze is used in one of our programs which is customer contact support for our Australian clientele. With our previous telephony/VoIP solution, the account or program manager and program team lead never missed a day without sending an escalation email to me, complaining about the connection and voice quality that the majority of their customer support agents' experiences are very bad. That is where Fuze comes into action, and since then I never get an escalation email from the managers but only positive and great feedback with Fuze.

Fuze is being used with SalesForce--it is very useful to replace traditional desk phones. It is useful for home office and you can take your phone anywhere you want. Also you can download an Android or iOS app of Fuze to take it anywhere you like.

Fuze is used at multiple locations throughout our company, as well as other divisions owned by our parent company. We had a directive from our corporate office to utilize a single communications platform while allowing the flexibility to meet the many individual needs of multiple divisions around the globe. Our user-base, in particular, has high expectations for phone systems due to having been exposed to more advanced systems in the past. As a result, we wanted something that offered a large variety of features and capabilities.

Fuze is being used by the entire company. Fuze Desktop allows people from all departments to communicate internally and externally. I have been supporting users from other departments within the company for more than one year now.

Although Fuze Desktop shows some errors once in a while it is indeed a regular application used in the company.

Fuze is being used in most of our departments outside of sales. We use it for making and receiving calls from and to clients and other third party organizations. It addresses the internal issue of instant communication between colleagues as well as allows internal employees to see if others are available or not.

First and foremost, Fuze is used for phone calls. We use this internally to talk to each other and to communicate with customers, vendors, and partners. The conference bridge features are also key to having meetings internally and with our customers. Fuze Meetings are great when we need a face to face or to share screens with co-workers or clients. not always used, but great when we need it! Instant messaging is widely used among our users for quick communications as needed. Overall, FUZE has been critical to maintaining our operations during the recent pandemic. With the staff working from home, we were able to maintain operations by having a solid communication strategy in place.

Fuze is our VOIP company-wide. Sales, Customer Success, and External Customer Support are all using it with the integration of SalesForce. Each department uses it, we in IT use it to get ahold of our employees if needed as we have employees working remotely (UK, US, Canada, South America, and Vietnam). I believe the problem it addresses for businesses is how you can get ahold of your employees during this pandemic because sometimes hearing something through messaging or emails are not enough. During COVID, Fuze allows you to get ahold of your employees just to make sure they are okay and if there's anything you can do to help them out.

We use Fuze as our main phone provider for both offices (Switzerland & Malta). We chose Fuze because their solution provided an SLA more in line with our needs. Their price plan was also an important factor in our choice of product. We have many of our employees that are nomad and work from abroad. This solution is ideal and transparent for our customers.

We went to Fuze a little over a year ago. We used to have three different phone systems across five sites. Our choice to go to Fuze was not easy. There were several different options we could have gone with. Fuze was our best choice to consolidate services. We were done having so much equipment everywhere. We really needed to save rack space and look to the cloud.

We use Fuze across our whole organization, each team receives inbound calls through the Fuze program. We have also used Fuze call flow to build a call flow for our renewals department that will walk the customer through several prompts before getting them to either customer support or renewals. It helps to solve the problem of being an easy and cheap problem solver our call flow.

The whole company is using Fuze as our main VoiP solution. The Fuze system is used to host meetings between the branch locations, as well as setting up meetings for potential customers. It helps with telecommuting and giving users a way to collaborate with each other over the internet instead of having to travel.

Fuze is currently the main communication platform for our company. We utilize Fuze for our phone system, our chat within company, and our internal meetings. We are still utilizing Skype for Business for our external meetings as Fuze is not stable enough to roll out to our clients. We selected Fuze to solve our communication issues with Skype for Business being discontinued, but have been very disappointed and are now looking to potentially make the switch to Teams.

It's a Solid VoIP package, and integrated to Bullhorn CRM well.... but it lacks any additional functionality though. Stats were hard to get set up. Insights into call stats for the team were even harder. I didn't have easy access to call recordings. Having said all that, it was easy to use and the call quality was solid.

Fuze was meant to be used by the whole organization but we had a good amount of people who had trouble adopting it due to being set in their previous habits. We used it for inter-office chat, voice calling prospects, and customers, it could be used for video calling prospects and customers but I never ended up using the video function. It also integrated with our CRM at the time, HubSpot. I also had the Fuze app on my phone, and could easily answer calls through my phone and could tell it was coming from Fuze which meant it was a work call. I also used the messenger portion on my phone. I felt like it was really easy to use and I liked the layout.

Fuze is being used across the entirety of our company. Our 70+ employees utilize Fuze to communicate internally to colleagues as well as externally to our many clients. It has been integral in our company culture of simplicity. With the integration of phone, chat, screen sharing, and conference calls we no longer need many separate programs for users to learn and navigate. It can be used from a computer or traditional VOIP phone meeting the varied needs of our users. The program itself is simple to understand but still comes with a full set of features. The team at Fuze is constantly pushing updates with major improvements, keeping our team on the cutting edge with communication.
