Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Call Manager)

Call Manager is being used by all of the employees of the college. We have just over 500 handsets on campus. We have about 100 active users of Jabber. Facilities will use Jabber on their smartphones, where they do not have cell coverage, but they can get a wifi signal to make support calls.
  • Voicemail to email
  • Jabber provides some great flexibility
  • There are a lot of options
  • Can be easier to configure
  • Conflict between single number reach and jabber answering a call on a mobile device
  • Video integration
  • Implementing public trusted certificates.
  • It helped get us to all SIP faster
  • Provided some internal collaboration tools.
It was less expensive and we are able to change partners. Mitel's system is not very friendly for the customer who is tied to a poor vendor.
Standard Cisco support.
