Cisco's 7000S is a solid option for businesses. Mainly it offers better-than-average opportunities for integration, and a superior list of cutting-edge features including voice, video and instant messaging all managed from a single dashboard. Their reputation for customer support is also of note. The company, however, does not advertise prices and does not offer an uptime service guarantee.
