Reviews
(1-25 of 159)A buggy phone system and an unethical company
- It works 90% of the time
- It has a lot of features (that sometimes work)
- It's ok, if you are ok with ok.
- Calls drop.
- Call Quality, people have trouble hearing.
- Call groups do not work.
- Cannot forward to an external number.
- Cannot group text message.
- LOTS AND LOTS OF BUGS.
RingEX E-Fax 'Solution'
- Apps for Mac, iOS, and other platforms
- Consistent interface on various platforms
- Consistent performance
- Excellent availability
- Reliability
- We used multiple fax numbers - but couldn't differentiate between them in the apps
- Faxes would show up in the 'Call Log' but not in 'Messages' - and were then not readable
- Faxes frequently showed up garbled and unreadable
- Faxes disappeared altogether
Run Away from RingEX
- nothing
- putting you on hold
- taking 2 hours to verify your account
- customer service
- stop the service from not working each week, call drop, call mishandling
- promise the stars but deliver dirt
RingEX is attempting to scam our business!
- [In my opinion,] None.
- Stop scamming customers into paying for an extra 2 years as they try to cancel!
RingEX Customer Service, Not Up To Par
- they collect their payment from us timely.
- on time receipt of our payment due
- prompt corporate credit card charge of monthly billing
- Customer Service
- Support
- Communication
A horrible experience thus far...
Honest and Frustrated
Stay far away
- In my opinion, Bait and switch
- In my opinion, Long annoying contracts
- In my experience, Give you the run around to cancel
- Stand behind sales people
- Show some compassion to your customers
- Allow companies to add or remove users as needed
Great until you need to cancel.
- Good phones
- Good technology
- Contracts. Initial contracts I understand, as you have costs associated with setup. But ongoing business should be kept by providing good service and good pricing. Any company that has to auto-renew for long periods to avoid losing customers should be avoided.
No title necessary.
- They can access my account.
- Length of wait time.
- Expertise of CSR agent.
- Shorter time to fix a problem.
Not Scalable, Don't expect rapid support help.
- SMS and MMS
- FAX (Email to Fax)
- Reliable Voice
- Account Management Simplicity
- Provide a Central Phone System
- Scalable System
RingEX great but, in my opinion, terrible customer service
- Trying to sign into my bank account and, in my experience, their verification code never arrives either by calling or by text
- In my opinion, their Service has created to much dependence on their chat box which can not handle serious problems, they should have a way to override their AI to speak with a human. Very frustrating
RingEX is average at best
- The add on reporting module through Clearview works well
- We rarely have an issue with getting dialtone on our hard phones
- We really like working with their partner NICE

RingEX for Tech Support Call Center Use
- Calls and Transfers are easy and intuitive.
- Ability to text message.
- The Hud allows you to see who is online and in what status.
- Constant complaints from clients of echoing back of their own voice.
- Occasional program crashes.
A solid competitor in a very crowded space.
- RingEX service is solid and resilient to issues.
- RingEX is easy to manage as an admin. Users, login styles, extensions, hardware, extensions, and more are always configurable and it makes it easy to support users.
- RingEX offers many hardware options. It is easy to procure new hardware as well as outfit older hardware with the help of an adapter.
- RingEX keeps pushing people to a user interface that couldn't be less helpful. It is a "collaboration" platform that is fundamentally useless and to get to the actual softphone is sometimes hard to do given that the default is this other option.
- RingEX is not easy to get support as an end-user. Support often blames issues on "jitter" though this is not usually the case.
RingEX - gets the job done well
- The RingEX "HUB" is really nice. It allows you to see specifically who in your organization is on the phone at any time, and who they're connected with. Very handy.
- It's nice how easy it is to login on the app and switch where your calls are directed -makes it easy to move to your cell phone if required.
- Voicemail transcription is quite useful, and works VERY well. I rarely have to listen to voicemails anymore, which is handy as all get out.
- You can't see the HUB on your mobile app! As a manager, I wish I could login and see who's on the phone in real time, from my mobile device. It only works on a computer, sorta lame.
- They have serious issues with how faxes are routed through their call system. If someone faxes a non-dedicated extension, the fax comes through as a VOICE call instead of fax! Super annoying - you pick up the phone to hear fax noises. We've had to adjust our internal processes because of this issue.
- Call quality can sometimes be a bit laggy. Occasionally our customers will complain of choppiness, despite having a super-fast internet connection.
RingEX rocks!
- Reliability
- Functionality
- Ease of use.
- Latency
- Text message spamming.
Great Product for the Right Team! Metric-Lovers, beware.
- RingEX's user interface is very easy to use. Just about everything is well labeled and has a purpose.
- Live reporting. RingEX's Live Dashboard is very helpful to a management team to monitor the daily operations in real time and gain a good understanding of where the team stands for the day.
- Headsets. RingEX has a partnership with Plantronics, so you have to use Plantronics headsets. Unfortunately there are only a few options to choose from; very cheap headsets with no noise cancelling, or extremely expensive headsets that were not necessary to waste money on. Our employees were not able to use their own personal headsets, no matter how good they were.
- Limited IVR menu options. Without upgrading to their highest 'enterprise' level, which we did not need, we had very little flexibility with how we set up our IVR menu. It would have been nice to be able to implement a "Customer Call-Back" feature so our customers did not have to choose between leaving a voicemail or staying on hold forever, but unfortunately we did not have this option. Small to medium-size businesses have this need as well.
- Provisioning accounts per user and being able to get easy reporting about usage helps us to see exactly how much direct-phone vs conference line vs web meeting activity is happening.
- Giving end users flexibility in managing calls - routing to soft phone instances, mobile app support, call forwarding, and voicemail management are all great.
- It's really easy to call point-to-point in the organization if you know someone's extension.
- Teleconference dial-in lines and web-conference dial-in lines are different numbers. This causes people confusion because they're not sure when to use which one.
- Backend diagnostics for web meetings is weak - when people report having connection issues, or low quality audio/video, we can't troubleshoot why.
- Their text/group chat/team messaging solutions feels bolted on to the other products. Phone, teleconference, chat, and web meeting are all pretty isolated products, and I wish they were more seamlessly integrated together.
- Having separate desktop apps and mobile apps for basic Phone vs. Web Meetings confuses end users as to which to use.
- Their Room-based meeting solution requires a lot of hardware purchasing and has something of a "DIY kit" feel to it.
Pretty good tool
- It allows each employee to have his/her own extension number which is very convenient
- We are a small organization and RingEX has pretty affordable prices for small companies like ours.
- Screen sharing feature is very helpful for video meetings with our clients and partners
- Mobile app is good, but not very user friendly
- Not all pricing options are shown on their website. When we called to customer service they showed us where to find other price options, but without their help we'd never find them. It'd be much more convenient if they showed all price options in one place.
- User interface (both mobile and web) shows features that are not available in our plan, it is quite confusing
- Phones that also support fax. This sets them apart from Vonage and especially Microsoft that does not support faxing at all.
- All of the apps work really well, especially the phone and meeting apps
- They have a bunch of integrations, like with Google and Microsoft office applications that are useful
- If you keep reusing users in the system, it will eventually lead to corruption. Whenever you reassign a phone number, it's best to delete the user and recreate it with the phone number.
- Tracking support tickets could be better and I would like to be able to reopen them instead of creating a new ticket based and old ticket, based on a ticket, based on a ticket, etc.
- They need to polish up their backend in general. We have random errors only they can fix about twice a month for our company size of about 250 extensions.
- Their support chat is just text. It would be great to be able to have an email address so you can forward evidence of issues to them, be able to attach pictures or other files.
RingEX has been a boon to our business
- Group calling for training/shadowing purposes. As senior support, I frequently have teammates who want to be on the call (though muted) when I call customers back. RingEX makes this incredibly easy to do; dial my teammates ext, click the giant plus symbol, type in the customers number, then click "add." When I first discovered how easy it was to do this kind of group calling, I began leveraging it for more training opportunities.
- Status updates makes it easy to set myself as available to take calls or unavailable. Often times a post-phone call requires research before I can answer another phone call. RingEX has a status bar update button (much like the old school days of AOL instant messenger), which allows me to accept or not accept inbound calls.
- Easy to navigate settings menu. The softphone itself is very slim with the classic number arrangement you would expect and all further settings use icons to help configure the phone. I generally do not need to login to the RingEX website to perform basic configuration and can instead use the softphone app itself to do this.
- Integrations. RingEX has an okay integration with our current ticketing system HelpScout. It will capture a voice transcription and place it as a new ticket in our inbox. Sometimes the transcription is not that great (listen to the voicemail), but the bigger thing is we have to leverage two different technologies (ticket system and VOIP softphone) to complete 1 task.
- Call barging. To my knowledge, RingEX does not have the ability to allow someone to join your call without them being added to the call by one of the folks engaged in the call. What if I need to get a teammate or supervisor involved right away? Yes, I could transfer the call or dial them in, but that does not always feel like the best experience for the customer.
Decent call conversion solution
- reporting dashboard
- easily swap redirect numbers to and from your advertising efforts
- auto voice features
- a bit out dated ui
- basic service that other companies provide
- more customer service
Got those digits: A RingEX review
- I like the meetings capability. It seamlessly integrates with Outlook to make scheduling very easy.
- The app works well across desktop and mobile platforms.
- The VOIP service is a little laggy when we try to use it with other services like ConnectAndSell.
- It would be great if you could set call recording preferences by state instead of generally.
