Overall Satisfaction with Mitel MiCollab
We use it across the entire organization. With over 50 users and growing each month, it allows seamless communication with our associates as well as our staff. We were using several different media platforms prior to combining everything into MiCollab. It allows us to message directly with peers eliminating the need to use MS Lync/Skype for Business. We are able to easily transfer calls to and from mobile devices, see who is on the phone and also as a global contact list.
- The messaging platform, while simple, gets the job done without all the unnecessary and often clunky features of other instant messaging platforms.
- With a click of a button I can see all my messaging and call history. Set my away status with different options for how the phone should respond based on that status. This is great for when I am traveling for work and need to set my phones up to ring a specific way.
- Checking of voicemails and clearing them out is simple with the MiCollab app. No need to have to dial from your desk phone any longer. Quick and easy to return calls directly from the app. You can also forward the voicemail to other users with a couple clicks of the mouse.
- It would be nice if they integrated SMS and Faxing easily into one platform. If they have it, we may simply have not taken advantage of it, yet.
- Tenanting of MiCollab is in the works but something that would be helpful sooner than later.
- Make it easier to reinstall the app on your cell phone. I have had a few times where my phone needs to be fully reset and reinstalling this app becomes put off due to how cumbersome the process is.
- It allows us to expand our company and configure in many different ways that other systems simply cannot. We have streamlined our overall operations by not only using MiCollab but using Mitels entire communications software(s).
- We need the ability to Tenant systems, route calls very specifically and much more. While MiCollab does not allow this (yet) we have this set up through other MiTel softwares to get the job done.
8x8 is a great solution, we have just been on the MiTel MiCollab and Mitel softwares for many years. Prior to joining this company I was responsible for the communications system. 8x8 at the time was the best choice, however, I would now pick MiTel and the MiCollab softwares over 8x8. While 8x8 offers fairly simple set up and integrated SMS & Faxing all in one platform, it does not allow the amount of custom programming etc. that MiTel does.
