Overall Satisfaction with ShoreTel
We are using ShoreTel across our whole organization. We have two locations, one in Cleveland, OH and one in Davie, FL. We are using an MPLS and the users are able to reach other using 4 digit extension to extension dialing with great clarity. We used to have two systems separate and it took a lot of admin work to get them to work nice together but now everything is seamless and works great.
- Administration is a breeze. We are able to add extensions and users very quickly.
- We are able to assign phones quickly. Plug it into the network, and we are up and going within minutes.
- Love the softphone features with the desktop application. I can quickly look at voicemails and select the important ones without needing to weed through a bunch of non mission critical information.
- The admin panel does not work with browsers other than IE. I would love to see added browser support.
- We sometimes need to re-use extensions when people move departments. It would be lovely to have a feature to reset a user account VM quickly. Currently, we have to set the user to extension only and then back to extension and VM to have it reset.
- We have had a great ROI. We replaced an old analog system with VoiP. We had to add PoE architecture, but we still made a positive ROI since we now own the equipment and are not renting it and paying higher fees to support older technology.
- We lowered our administrative costs also since we no longer have to tone lines out when adding a new phone to a station. We just have to add a phone to an ethernet port, and in worst case scenario, add a local PoE injector.
