Overall Satisfaction with Fuze
Currently, it is being used by the whole organization. It was brought in to replace our traditional Mitel phone system. Our employees have it installed on their laptops as a softphone option and they also have the Fuze mobile app, so they can use Fuze on the go. It allows us to communicate with each other effectively, as well as being the main contacting tool used by our Sales to contact their clients. Generally, we just use it to call each other and people outside the organization.
- The interface is very intuitive and I'm able to setup a call quickly with the people I need to contact.
- Call quality has been especially good for me as long I have a stable internet connection.
- It honestly feels like a real traditional phone, but the difference here is that it's in my laptop. I'm able to do everything that I need on the go when needed.
- Their client software can face a few bugs here and then and it may take awhile for them to be fixed. One such example is the audio settings, it does not save the proper audio setup all the time when I'm docking and undocking my laptop.
- Fuze technical support is not very good. They take a very long time to get back to you. When filing an urgent case that needs to be resolved quickly, I am not able to rely on them to give me the punctual and effective support that I need.
- Registering conference phones can be a pain, as I have to follow a fairly long set of instructions to register them to Fuze.
Adopting Fuze voice has been fairly positive for our organization. It has been providing fairly consistent call quality to our employees and moreso, for our Sales Representatives/Account Managers. We haven't heard too much hiccups from the call quality, which we are relieved to hear. Although, when an issue does come up that does affect call quality, it may take us awhile to resolve it due to the constant back-and-forth between Fuze and our team. The solution is usually not given quickly and might not always be effective for the problems we're experiencing.
WebEx seems to be a top contender against Fuze, but because it's more meeting based than for just individual calls we decided to disregard it as a solution as a replacement for our traditional phone system. Skype for Business on the other hand is also good and has the features we need, but it was too expensive.
