Overall Satisfaction with Fuze

We use Fuze company-wide. Desk phones, mobile app, desktop app, and Outlook add-in are all in use by various people. What parts of Fuze are used depends largely on the person's role in the organization. We needed a modern (cloud) UCaaS solution and Fuze does a great job of unifying voice, messaging, and meetings into one single platform.
  • Voice quality.
  • Mobile app.
  • Meetings - Simple, yet feature-rich interface.
  • Desktop application stability and compatibility with certain hardware.
  • Better installation - Per-user and per-computer installs sometimes compete with one another and/or upgrades fail to install.
  • [The] desktop app is not best for touchscreen-enabled devices due to lack of ability to scroll through messages using a finger or stylus.
If you are planning on moving pre-existing desk phones (specifically Polycom) to Fuze, be prepared to manually factory reset each and every phone. We were not informed of this initially when in discussions with sales. Fuze does integrate nicely with Azure AD for SSO, which greatly eases administrative and implementation burdens if you are already using AAD.
Almost went with PanTerra and then discovered that Fuze has better infrastructure which allows for more reliability and uptime. RingCentral had too many apps and didn't feel centralized enough.

Suited best for an enterprise. Less appropriate for small businesses and/or businesses where messages are required to be retained/archived (for compliance).
