RingEX Review
We use RingEX as an integrated addition to our CRM system. It allows us to easily reach prospective candidates via text and phone call. The application runs smoothly, and the widget allows for an easy transfer of information.
- Rarely drops calls.
- The text capabilities are strong, and in a visually appealing interface.
- Easy to store and transfer information
- Ability to create group chats

Value for the Money
We use Ring Central as our main phone provider. It allows us to have 5-6 phones in the shop without having to get additional landlines through the phone or cable provider. Especially since the phones are located at different points in the store and not just the office. We have the flexibility to add additional lines and locate them in various areas.
- Various phone plans
- Ability to add/subtract phones in the app
- On the spot recording of a new outgoing message
- Ease of adding call routing
- Menu of features could be simplified
- Ability to change call routing is time consuming

Consolidating Your Tech Stack Helps BIG Time!
RingEX allows us to create precise work groups for all the teams in our organization to keep track of their tasks and files. By promoting calls into video meetings, we can have in-person meetings anytime. When scheduling meetings with prospective clients, it doesn't get much easier than doing it in the app while I am on the phone.
When I can access about 80% of our tech stack in one app, my productivity shoots through the roof now that I do not have to use many apps just to plan a meeting or access my notes.
I recommend RingEX to any company with scheduling, collaboration, and burdensome tech stacks.

RingEX Bring Best of Class VOIP Solutions to SMB's
We use RingEX as our primary VOIP solution. It provides us with calling, faxing, SMS, contacts, IVR Menus, etc... both while at the office and while we travel to client locations for work that requires being on site. This allows our team an incredible amount of flexibility and truly adds more value than we had initially expected. Support is great to work with and follow up in a timely fashion.
- Mobile VOIP access
- SMS and Faxing Features
- IVR Menus and advanced call routing
- Call queues and history logs
- Custom rule scheduling can be overly complicated since the last major update
- Support teams can be so eager to follow up that they reach out excessively during weekends while we have informed them we are not open
- Costs have become a bit higher than when we had started working with RingCentral.

RingCentral MVP - Review in Education Setting
We use our Ring Central system as our main school telephony system.
It's fast, reliable, easy to set up/use & has been well received by all of the staff in the school.
It provides great flexibility to grow with us, as our requirements continue to grow & evolve. So long as you have an IP based handset & the correct license, you can install a handset wherever there is a PoE enabled ethernet point.

- Easy to use & navigate web interface.
- Simple, yet customisable IVR options.
- A vast wealth of knowledge via the RingCentral University (support is also brilliant!)
- Cost is slightly on the higher end of the spectrum, there are cheaper systems out there, not really aimed at Education in terms of pricing initially.
- Some ELEMENTS on the administrative side are unveiled by digging down into other options. Can be resolved by a "Related Options" links on some menus (admin portal).
- Had never heard of the company until attending BETT show in 2022. Would be good to market towards Education sector more prominantly with Educational discounts/offers.
Our whole company is using RingEX, we previously had VOIP through our IT provider and they stopped supporting us so we had to move. We liked the flexibility and reliability of the system. We used to have outages all the time on our old system and we are enjoying not having a single outage on RingEX in the last year. The reliability was a huge selling point since we need to have working phones and fax. The flexibility of the system allows us to use physical phones where needed or Softphones for our computers or mobile devices. Our users love the ability to use their company extension from their mobile phone.

We use RingEX for inbound and outbound customer calls as well as texting with customers. Any team member who is logged into RingEX can respond to customers from one central number.
- Calls can be answered by anyone logged into the app
- Text messaging with customers is relatively easy
- Text messaging internally with employees can also be done
- We are having issues with calls where at least once a week the calls to our main number only come to the owner's app. As such, we are missing customer calls. Even the voicemails are not deposited to the main number, so we're not properly following up with the missed calls. RingEX has been investigating it for a while and has yet to resolve it.
- The reporting that we have access to is very lacking. I'd like to see analytics of call volume, missed calls, peak call times, call length, etc. for our location only. Our data is combined with all of the other franchisees and it's very difficult to see how we are performing individually. The filters are very limited as well. This may be more of an issue with how the franchisor chose to set it up, but regardless it's not very easy to use nor very helpful.
- It took a long time to get texting to work. Not sure what the issue was, but I was told for weeks that it had to be an issue on my side, but ultimately it was a setting that I didn't have access to. It should be easier to configure and have texting enabled by default.
- When a call comes in, you can't see what number the call came in on. The display for incoming calls could be improved.

RingEX is a good VOIP System in General
I recently switched to RingEX for my business. I ported my number from my cell phone carrier to RingEX , and now that line is dedicated to my business. I chose RingEX because they have worked well with PC Recruiter, which is my ATS/CRM system. I love that this number is my dedicated business line, so when someone calls, they receive an introduction and professional message. Also, after business hours I set up, calls automatically go to voicemail. On the mobile app, I can view and listen to the messages if I choose or wait until the next day.
- Their tech support team is knowledgeable
- The RingEX system interfaces well with PC Recruiter; I can type my notes in real time while on the call.
- I can also send texts through RingEX
- While the tech support team is very good, the wait times can be very long.
- It took several weeks to set up SMS ability and although I was given a free 30 day trial before the monthly fee began, it took over 30 days to set it up so I couldn't really learn it for free.
- They don't offer an aut-dial function or auto voicemail function

RingEX for a reason
I use RingEX on a daily basis as I'm a Talent Acquisition specialist for Bank of America through Pyramid Consulting. I have to call numerous candidates and RingEX makes it easier for me as it is directly linked to my Job Diva account and I can call and message candidates easily.
- Calling
- Messaging
- Easy access for user
- User Interface can be improved
- Sometimes when the network is disrupted the call keeps on going

RingEX - Rockstar app at a low price
We all love RingEX and its features. No downtime, can integrate well on Zoho Recruit. Tech support is responsive. What we love is the Auto Receptionist and voicemail recordings. Scheduling of office hours and easy to use applications. It comes with a good app too. Low price but great services.
- Auto Receptionist
- Voicemail Recording and Transcription
- Scheduling of Office hours
- Close Caption for Ultra
- Fast update of Technical Support
- Phone Beta for all

RingEX has unified all our avenues of communication!
RingEX is our "go to" for VOIP and video meetings in our organization. It's allowed us to streamline the way we communicate and given users many options to do so - physical IP phone, desktop app, mobile app and even a browser-based version. Our faculty and staff can decide what fits their needs the best and use it.
- VOIP calling - call quality is excellent and has replaced our traditional landline phones
- Video meetings - video quality is great(provided you have a good webcam) and the video features(multiple hosts, screen sharing, multiple room management) is 2nd to none.
- Screen sharing - As an unexpected benefit, the ability to do a screen share has helped our IT crew in being able to remotely diagnose and fix problems with faculty or staff machines.
- The desktop app updates are somewhat annoying. It seems the desktop app will randomly close and restart when there is a new version pushed out by RingEX. Not a huge deal but it is sometimes annoying to be reading an instant message on the app and it will close/restart without warning.
- I'd like to see the mobile app have an easier way to be offline than logging out of the app entirely. I may want to be able to message using the chat feature but just not accept phone calls. Or have my phone calls go to my desk phone or desktop app but not ring my mobile app in certain situations.

Migrating to a VOIP solution with RingEX.
RingEX allowed us to introduce a complete VOIP solution to our organization, using the embedded dialler within Microsoft Teams. Before joining RC, we had an archaic on-premises telephony infrastructure that was no longer fit for purpose. Because the system was so old, all in-house knowledge about how to run it was long gone. We were adjusting beyond adding or removing users who required outside help, which was expensive and often interrupted our staff’s workflows. RingEX has provided a sophisticated phone solution capable of supporting remote and on-campus employees while also providing advanced functionality, scalability with licensing, and, above all, a highly responsive and knowledgeable support team.
- Easy to use admin interface.
- Prompt and knowledgeable support staff.
- Provides a cost-effective VOIP solution.
- A telephony partner sitting as a Leader on the Gartner Magic Quadrant.
- More info on the functionality that each available user licence provides.
- Better integration within the Microsoft Teams platform - especially around voicemail management and 'do not disturb' status updates.
- More accurate AI for the text-to-speech voicemail transcription.

So much more then we bargained for!
We switched to RingEX when it became cost prohibitive to design a DR solution for our in-house phone system. Since switching to RingEX we have reduced our monthly spend on telecommunications plus gained DR capabilities that we never had before. implementing RingEX has greatly simplified our business continuity plan. In addition, we gained access to tools that we never had before such as incoming and outgoing faxes, messaging to our business numbers and telecommunications capabilities. productivity has gone up and the number of calls to the help desk has been completely eliminated. We could not be happier with our choice to switch to RingEX.
- incoming and outgoing calls
- incoming and outgoign faxes
- collaboratoin/screen sharing
- voice mail
- blocking spam calls

No title necessary.
I had to spend almost 2 hours on the phone with your agents to figure out why I was not getting calls. The first agent I spoke with removed me from the queue when she was in my account because I asked to speak with a supervisor since she could not fix the problem. I was not receiving my fair share of calls. I am very disappointed with the CSR agent I started with.
- They can access my account.
- Length of wait time.
- Expertise of CSR agent.
- Shorter time to fix a problem.

RingEX = happiness
Our company has 10 employees with 2 office locations as well as remote job sites. RingEX is perfect for being able to conduct business paperless, instant messages, text messages, & all the other features we want and need from a phone system!

- The messaging is just as fast as a cell phone text message.
- All of our needs are being met with RingEX at this time.

Great service.
The primary source of communication for the company. It has the ability to expand, and it gives us a platform to have multiple numbers appear in multiple places. Also, we like the idea of being able to take our phones to a copy shop or a coffee shop if we need to.
- Good call quality.
- Reliable service.
- Reasonably priced.
- Right now I don't see anything to improve on.

Helping our agents stay ahead of the curve
RingEX is our company's only phone system. We utilize it for in-office employees, as well as remote employees through their cell phones. It's a great system for both types of users. The text and voicemails make it easy to connect with each other, but most importantly, our clients. Our agents are always working, so this system makes it easy for them to stay connected.
- Voicemail to text messages being sent to admin emails
- Transfer calls easily
- Great multi-line phones
- Customer service from the account managers could be better
- It does take a long time to get help if you call in rather than use the chat option
December 05, 2023
A leap into the future
We use the softphone and hardware phones with RingEX, 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

- Call forwarding
- Hunt group management
- Online configuration and set up
- Telephone support
- Perhaps too many functions?

RingEX is great for real estate closing process.
I use RingEX 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.
November 11, 2023
As expected services
I use RingEX on my desktop and on the road. My smartphone and desphone ring together when I receive incuming call. Also, I send and receive SMS with my clients. And finally, I use RingEX to learn the platform.
- SMS

- Simple management platform
- Customer service
- Customise autoprovisionned deskphone from third party
- Customer relation in french language for Canada

RingEX Excellent Product
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.

RingEX Solution for SME's
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.

This convergence solution is necessary and optimal to us by offering connection with clients, customers and prospects while on the move.

- Getting voicemails from customers who leave messages about their orders
- call forwarding to assistant in the office while not in the office
