We use the softphone and hardware phones with RingCentral, as well as the faxing solution.
Our old system was a mix of PBX and on-prem VOIP that was quite antiquated. We were still having to use SSH for all phone system changes.
We needed a more modern, feature rich VOIP solution that could help bring both those that prefer using deskphones and those that prefer softphones together.
  • Softphone and hardphone integration (allowing software to control speakerphone)
  • IVR and User Management
  • Voicemail integration
  • Microsoft 365 integration
  • Porting process (moving phone numbers from other carriers) was much better than experiences with competitors
  • Pricing for SMB space is high compared to other solutions
  • Still lagging behind 8x8 with desk phone support and integrations
  • UI for managing Limited Extensions is significantly more cumbersome than user extensions
  • Video meeting software still lags behind industry leaders (such as Zoom and MS Teams)
  • No licensing option for Common Area Phones with routing features
- Many inexpensive cloud VOIP providers have great softphone experiences, but lack the depth of features when continuing to use desk phones. RingCentral gives you the best of both worlds.
- For larger accounts, porting numbers can be especially difficult, and sometimes the unexpected occurs that the losing carrier cancels the process without notice. RingCentral not only makes the process easy, but works well with the losing carriers to ensure there are no unexpected issues.
- Anyone wanting to move from older PBX or on-prem VOIP will enjoy the ease of use and support provided by RingCentral. They also worked great with our legal team when there were compliance concerns with setting up a new contract.

RingCentral MVP is our central communication system. With many staff now working from home, RingCentral MVP provides an easy way to forward calls to staff when they are at home or in the office.
  • Call forwarding
  • Hunt group management
  • Online configuration and set up
  • Telephone support
  • Perhaps too many functions?
When you have a small team many of which are working from home at any moment in time, I would particularly recommend RingCentral MVP.

Ring central is very user friendly. The admin back end is easy to navigate. When calling customer service they are very helpful and wont end the call until the problem or question is resolved. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone I know looking for better phone services. Before I chose this product they walked me through the entire process and how it worked before deciding to choose this product.
  • Call forwarding
  • Custom voicemail
  • The platform in general
  • I haven't gotten to a particular part that I think needs changing
  • I haven't used the service long enough to have big issues
I love the technology's they use. The software is up to date and user friendly. The phone they sent us is easy to set up.

I use RingCentral to receive faxes from banks with Payoff Statements required in sales closings. I also use it in general if I need to send or receive a fax for a real estate transaction.
  • It is very easy to download a document and print it out.
  • It is very easy to send a fax from my computer, by simply browsing the documents.
  • Ring central is very good at communicating if there has been an issue with a fa so that I know to address it and correct it
  • On rare occasion, I have had issues with faxes failing to send.
Overall, I have been very pleased with this program for my practice. I find it extremely easy to operate.

We use it for all calls, texting, and faxes. This allowed us to have one number for all of the offices. We have separate lines set up. We can view faxes and messages from the app. The auto attendant creates the illusion of having a much larger and more professional business
  • fax
  • texting
  • calls
  • transcribing
  • The support is difficult to manage
  • The remote attendant can be challenging
  • The set up for the requirements for texting were very confusing.
Ring Central is HIPPA compliant. Having a BAA is critical to working in the mental health field. I need to have the ability to text with clients and staff from one place. I can receive and view faxes in real time. Voicemails are transcribed. Being able to set up different lines allows one to specify where calls go. We have message-only voicemails with basic info. We can set to away. Security is easy to set up

  • contact customer over automatically renewing subscription
  • try to ensure service package still fits business needs

Incredible product. It has proven to be all I need for communications in my line of work where communication is paramount. It provides incredible sound for calls. The texting service is also very high quality. And add on the ability for excellent voicemail service and you have a true winner. I would recommend this to any business that desires to reduce communication costs without sacrificing quality.
  • Phone calls
  • Text
  • Voicemail
  • Forwarding calls
  • Simpler dashboard
Like I said earlier the benefits of using Ringcentral are quite significant. I no longer have to utilize monopolized phone companies that are long on promises and short on delivery. This company has always come through for my business. Again, this business provides you with quality phon reception, prompt texting, and voicemail. I will recommend this product to anyone in need of quality phone service.

Due to the nature of business we have, where we use raw ingredients from plants in West Africa, I have to travel frequently to monitor our contract farmers, hence been able to get my calls on my mobile and laptop always without fail is extremely critical. When I also do trips to the UK, where we also distribute and sell our finished product, Jobelyn, making calls and receiving seamlessly with RingCentral is a flawless, except of course if the internet connect is wonky. This convergence solution is necessary and optimal to us by offering connection with clients, customers and prospects while on the move.
  • Receiving calls from clients in Tamale, Ghana - on the farm lands visits
  • Getting voicemails from customers who leave messages about their orders
  • call forwarding to assistant in the office while not in the office
  • Prompt customer service response to issues
  • increasing the Text count before you are charged extras
  • Caller ID features
* Been able to receive my calls at Heathrow Airport on my RingCentral mobile app.
* Please calls to customers that leave voice messages about their orders that are delayed by USPS
* Ignoring spam calls that are labelled already by RingCentral

I have been working at my job for over 2 years now and the only phone system we've used is Ring Central. We never thought twice whether to switch phone programs like so many other companies. Ring Central is efficient, easy to use and clear cut. <br>My position requires me to stay on top of ring central setting. I find it so easy to take care of since everything is set up in a user friendly manner.
  • Online Website-Admin Portal
  • Chatting Online gets Lengthy
Ring Central is well suited for all business types in my opinion.
From small to bug companies it's appropriate for everyone.

We use RingCentral MVP as our main phone system for calls, recordings, text message, faxes and more. We have no problems with RingCentral MVP. We find it to be a great program for our company and I would recommend this to others who are starting out or using different programs.
  • text messages
  • video calling
  • call recordings
  • the recorded calls should be there for longer periods of time
  • more professional intros when people call in
  • sometimes people cant hear me
We never used any other program besides for RingCentral MVP because we are very happy with it and we are not looking to switch to a different program for our organization. RingCentral MVP is well suited in our company and I think would be well suited in many companies as well.

We started using RingCentral MVP when our business expanded enough to require multiple phone lines. We previously used business cell phones with each employee having their own number, but we wanted our employees to be able to call out from our main company line and have that phone number show up on the receivers caller ID. The option to have "soft phones" where users just download the RingCentral MVP app to their phones and utilize our business services that way has been great. We also really like the customization of call flow and ability to set business hours with dedicated greetings and call handling for different times of the day or holidays.
  • call handling
  • unified phone number across all employees calling out
  • customization of services
  • sometimes the call handling settings can be difficult to navigate
  • some customers have told us that our number shows up as a "spam risk" on their caller ID even though this is our same office number we have used for decades
RingCentral MVP app being portable across devices has been really great as well as streamlining our call flow. We especially like the customization of call handling we can set up for various circumstances, like holiday hours or other schedule adjustments.

We use RingCentral for our Reps in order to keep their personal phone numbers private. I am an admin within RingCentral and often use the product to troubleshoot for our reps. The overall problem would be the look and feel of ringcentral admin center. It is cluttered and I personally believe it could be simplified to be cleaner and easier to navigate. I do enjoy their customer service they are fast to respond and quick to fix.
  • Customer support
  • Reaching back time
  • Friendliness
  • Admin portal
  • Call connectivity
  • Minor issues
I think it works perfectly as a second option instead of buying your employees a phone plan.

We use RingCentral to streamline all of our calls and texts and easily connect our team without having to share personal cell numbers with each other or our clients. When I started my business, all calls and texts were going through my personal cell number. It's a relief to have business and personal separate now and everything streamlined for our team through the RingCentral app. It's also nice to have after-hours messaging as well as a way for our clients to get through to us after hours if there is an emergency.
  • Implementation for new clients.
  • Support
  • The software and app are very intuitive and user-friendly, so it's easy to get started and get going on their system.
  • They made it very easy for me to import all our client contact information and team members as users.
  • Their online help menu is very good.
  • Getting registered and set up for SMS/Text messaging was not an easy process.
  • I hope RingCentral improves its integration with Zapier to automate adding new client contact information into RingCentral from our CRM.
RingCentral is great for connecting teams and streamlining all communication through an app rather than having to issue company phones and using separate apps like GroupMe for team communication. It's also very easy to activate, disable, and reactivate users if you have a lot of contractors or seasonal workers.

We use RingCentral as our main source of phone calls, faxes, and interoffice communication. While the texting feature was useful for a time, after the jump in solicitation, texts crossed with the owner's personal messages, and the added cost implemented by federal/state, we decided to cease the use of this feature.
  • The desktop application is visually pleasing. The recent adjustments have been great improvements.
  • The option to use the new features or continue with the previous version has been helpful to get used to the new features or looks.
  • The email notifications, with transcripts have been so helpful as well.
  • Admin capabilities within the desktop app, instead of being directed to the website.
RingCentral has been so helpful when I moved remotely part-time. I was able to answer calls from my existing extension through my laptop, and it made the transition seamless, especially for those still in the office to dial my extension as usual. What doesn't work well is when others within the company aren't interested in using the system to its full capabilities. Trying to figure out how to get everyone on board has been a feat and one we've failed at.

We were using Mitel on-prem and our users faced many challenges with using the desk phone remotely. That system didn't have a great way to forward all calls to you your cellular phone. We started looking at RingCentral and were amazed at the features that it had. Users were able to easily control where their phone would ring and where. The management of RingCentral is so much easier than what we dealt with Mitel.
  • The ability to set up templates to control when users phone forward to a new extension.
  • The overall management capabilities that you have from the MVP Admin Portal.
  • The ability to have Text, Phone call, Fax, Conference from one number.
  • Make it easier to manage missed calls, text and faxes.
RingCentral was able to resolve all the issues that our employees faced with our previous phone system. With RingCentral, we gained better control and management of the phone system.

We utilize RingCentral to prospect potential clients and contact consultants on work opportunities. The product allows employees to utilize their laptops while making calls, which increases their workflow by eliminating the need to switch between a cell phone and a laptop. This tool is utilized by all employees within our organization.
  • Reliability
  • Functionality
  • Ease of use.
  • Latency
  • Text message spamming.
I like the call monitoring feature, which allows managers or senior members of the organization to train individuals who are new in their roles and provide coaching opportunities to improve their skills.

Summit Therapeutic Services (Summit) uses RingCentral MVP every hour, of every day. We talk on the phone from anywhere we want, create text messages, and even send out faxes to clients that still have that in their offices. The best part of all this? We can do it all from our mobile phone, at the lift of a finger. The service provided really spoils you and when you don't have it accessible, it makes you say, "I wish I could use my RingCentral because it just works so well."

This is not a joke because when running a business, no matter the service provided, communication management is very important because ideas, directives, and messages still need to be sent and received. These basic services we use every day, they aren't so basic, and RingCentral manages them all seamlessly. Summit will continue using RingCentral and the services they provide are invaluable to the organization.
  • Video meetings
  • Faxes
  • Text messages
  • Voicemails
  • Phonecalls
  • Integration with mobile devices
  • Website access is easy to use
  • Applications are easy to use
  • The video meeting / integration with Teams is confusing because the Teams app will take over the RC app and launch the meeting. Some are on RC, some are on Teams. it's strange.
  • When transferring calls, the receiving telephone does not display who the caller is, except for only showing you who is transferring the call.
  • Latency between the telephone and the desktop application could be faster.
Simply because it integrates so well with your mobile device, RingCentral MVP is suitable for video meetings, even encrypted ones, faxes, text messages, phone calls. On the plane flying somewhere and the client needs a document faxed over? You can do it quickly. Need to send over a picture from your device and you don't have your phone? You can do it from the computer. Need to take a break and focus on your family and other activities? You can log out and let the voicemail take care of it, even sending you an email that you can check, since I know many people still check their emails when on vacation! LOL

We use RingCentral to make outbound calls to clients and future new hires.
  • Technical support
  • Resolving outrage fast
  • Great customer services
  • Contract renewal
  • To send back old desk phone, the team can take more than 30 days for a return label
In general, the service is so perfect and I have never had any issues with RingCentral. What I do say one thing that needs improvement, is that when the renewal of 1 or 2 years comes, the RC team is there to support you, and they reply to emails fast but after you have signed that contract, sorry, but it's 2-3 days for a simple reply back. Return labels to send back my old desk phone, wow, 30 days and not a single return label to send back the item but still get charge on my bill.

Sales and ease of use. I really enjoy the way RingCentral interfaces with other apps.
  • Meeting app is easy to use and is easy to find on the desktop app
  • Calling tool is well done and easy to use
  • Portal is one of the better and user friendly portals in comparison
  • At first the in-box was not that easy to use
  • It would be great if you would sync the phone dnd with the desktop app. Currently you have to set both
  • Make the Salesforce and RingCentral integration better

Well suited when you need a phone system that's easy to structure and understand, it is less appropriate when you need to control the status of your agents, it lets users avoid calls by just clicking a toggle

I use RingCentral to incorporate a landline and cell line into one call software. I use it for training as we can record the conversations. We no longer have to juggle multiple phones as they all come through our RingCentral. It is good for keeping up with your callers and call tracking.
  • Great desktop application
  • Great at keeping you in contact with your customers
  • Great at team connections
  • I wish I had known that text messaging would be cut off until provisioning that can take a month.
  • App could be streamlined with better layout.
Ring Central is better for larger organizations. It has a lot of Team features. As a small business of 2, those fetures are not of use to me. I mainly have this to combine a land line and cell line into 1 communication software for better call tracking and to be able to record my calls.
