Overall Satisfaction with RingCentral MVP
We use RingEX for our telephony service for both soft phones and hard phones. That is the main use, as we use other programs for chat and videoconferencing.
- Robust soft phone program.
- Robust hard phone.
- Intuitive interface for call forwarding and other features.
- Some things I would think would work don't. For instance, on the desktop client call list, I would sometimes like to clear the list of my missed calls or previous calls. Right clicking it would be my intuition, but that only lets me refresh.
- At my current company, none, but when I had a small business, it allowed me to accept calls wherever I was, or have it go to voicemail so I could call them back if I was unavailable. There was a professional answering message which created a good impression.
I think their desktop client is much more reliable. I wasn't too happy with 8x8 as it used Adobe Air and constantly asked me to update Adobe Air when I opened the program. Very annoying. I had to update Adobe Air and 8x8 as well. If I tried to update the client it would disconnect me from the call. So far RingCentral has never asked me to update, so it doesn't interfere!
