MiCloud Connect (formerly ShoreTel) Reviews

We have been able to be much more nimble with growth.

We haven't been able to do as we hoped and make Mitel our singular solution for phone, as well as video conferencing. We have unfortunately had to buy additional conferencing services to meet our needs, thus hurting our anticipated ROI.

We've definitely seen a business impact on our company in a positive manner. We've been able to provide the best possible service that suits our needs, while not being gouged by ISP's or Telco providers.

We can better serve our customer service reps and tech support people by managing our own system, creating our own ring groups and control use.

At my branch alone, we are saving over $500 a month using Shoretel Sky versus the phone company we were using before them.

Shoretel Sky has increased customer service by allowing our employees to easily transfer a call to the proper department or branch no matter where they are located instead of giving the caller a phone number to call.

Most of our locations did not have caller ID before Shoretel Sky. That feature has increased employee efficiency because when they know who is calling before they answer allows them to professionally greet their caller and have their info up on their computer as they answer.

It allows for me to manage my workflow (i.e. calls) at a pace that I can handle. I don't have to listen to the phone ring incessantly. I can go into release and focus on other tasks or step away if I need to take a breather.

I didn't have to spend a lot of time learning extension numbers. I can search anyone in the office by name and connect to them directly or leave them a voicemail.

Extending our phone system to users working at home or on the road

Faster lead conversion.

Increased employee efficiency

Better customer service.

Our company is constantly answering and assisting with customer calls. WIthout MiCloud, there would not be a strategy for how calls were handed to agents. That feature alone is a must-have for this environment.

Our company also fields customer emails that are managed by the MiCloud system. Our profits depend on quick responses and this system aids with that.

I'd have to guess, but at least 100%

Good total cost of ownership.

Affordable replacement handsets.

After the initial cost of setup, the maintenance is minimal and cost-efficient, this product has been one of the highlights of our department

Great improvment over old system as far as reliablity and dropped calls

Allows traveling employees to recieve voice mail as email attachements

Super easy to manage users

ShoreTel has lower revolving costs than many competitors and this helps keep costs affordable and predictable over time.

Allows users to be more productive with extension to extension calling.

Allows users to see when others are on their phones via the ShoreTel Communicator software to eliminate wasted time.

Has an available T1/PRI switch to eliminate the need for POTS telephone lines.

Increased visibility into call handling has improved our ability to respond to callers.

Easy to make changes to staff.

Expensive to creat new accounts ($50?).

Interoffice communication is quick and easy.

Increased employee efficiency

Better contact organization

Easier missed call and callback tracking

Better customer service and average time of answer.

We have had a great ROI. We replaced an old analog system with VoiP. We had to add PoE architecture, but we still made a positive ROI since we now own the equipment and are not renting it and paying higher fees to support older technology.

We lowered our administrative costs also since we no longer have to tone lines out when adding a new phone to a station. We just have to add a phone to an ethernet port, and in worst case scenario, add a local PoE injector.

Easy administration.

Less time spent fixing individual user issues - ShoreTel Sky supports all users, not just the administrators.

Cloud VoIP allows us to work from any location at any time.

It's increased productivity across the board. I can only imagine that is saving us money in resources and collaboration.

We have removed a receptionist from our remote location which saves us roughly $2,000 a month.

We have gone down to one PRI which has saved us roughly $500 a month.

From what I've seen and heard it relates to our sales metrics improving due to our team members ability to both take and receive calls even when not in the office.

Positive ROI

ShoreTel allows for sales and support teams to positively impact the business by serving customers.
