Overall Satisfaction with Avaya Aura

We use it as the main Unified Communication platform. We also use it as Contact Center. We have over 20,000 users and about 1000 CC agents. We also have multiple LSP and Media Gateway. There are about 200 locations. We have multiple third parties applications such as call recording, IVR, messaging, call back assist. Some of them are Avaya brand applications.

Teams phone is much better in user administration and soft client. Another area that they are far apart are UC, meetings, collaboration, Video. Their noise cancellation is superb. Easy to use and set up are night and day compared to Avaya Aura remote worker. There is no easy implementation at least on the on prem level.

- The processing power required for signaling manipulation is too much compared to other vendors.
