Overall Satisfaction with Zoom Phone

We implemented Zoom Phone across our organization. In the end, we had nearly 150 lines both in offices and in public spaces. We use Zoom Phone as our only supported institution-wide phone system. It replaced an antiquated Cisco UCaaS solution which had been in place for a number of years. Both the softphone and desk phones are deployed.
  • Call quality
  • Reporting
  • Ease of Use
  • Number Porting
  • Innovation
  • Support
  • Desk phone features
  • Canned Reports
  • Calls actually come through, resulting in our users trusting our phone system again
  • Improved internal communication
  • Users can be reached anywhere, so they do not have to stay at their desk to wait for important calls
  • Voicemail is processed faster because it is translated to text
The big draw for us to Zoom Phone is that they shook up the market. They entered the phone market by taking their overwhelming success in video conferencing, and bringing that innovation and skill to designing a game changing phone system. There is really not much difference among the other systems, except maybe their interface. They're a dime a dozen. Zoom does things differently, focusing in on the needs of the end users, and delivers a solid system that is worry free for I.T. departments

Did implementation of Zoom Phone go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Zoom Phone again?

Yes

Zoom Phone just makes sense if you are already using Zoom Video. It's a natural extension, and provides a single pane of glass for all your communications needs. It integrates well with existing authentication setups, providing users with single sign on capabilities. It also does not consume as much Internet bandwidth as one might expect. The only use where I may question Zoom Phone's usage is in a small organization with under 20 users where it may not be affordable.
