Avaya Cloud Office

Avantages

The phone/computer system was very clear to operate and talk.

Inconvénients

Sometimes I had difficulty logging into the Ayveda.

Avantages

We can easily make calls from the office number without needing a physical phone. All that is required is a headpiece with a mic.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the call drop can be annoying. Probably, from our network service provider. However, it affects our calls sometimes.

Avantages

It is for the most part very reliable, has good record tracking, and integrates well into Salesforce and other apps.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the application can time out and throw error messages that are inconsistent with the actual problem. Fortunately, logging in and out usually fixes it.

Avantages

The system replaced a previous phone system.The switch went well. The app is well laid out and has all of the features required including voicemail.

Inconvénients

The app does not seem to work well and connect to my account even when trouble shooted. It logs out all the time meaning when I am off site the calls are not coming to my mobile as needed or just showing that I have a missed call when the phone has not rung.

Avantages

Easy integration, easy to use. Avaya IP Office, allowed us to work remotely through the pandemic with only needing access to our laptop.

Inconvénients

Avaya is a bit outdated, limited features and requires VPN.

Avantages

It did the basics of PBX fairly well. It was easy enough to setup new extensions and add new phones. There was some good funcitonality around basic quese and call forwarding. the admin system was ok.

Inconvénients

There was a lot of downsides for me. There was no softphone option available and the system was on premise so not only needed to be maintained and updated by my team but was not available outside the office. There was several glitches that caused many issues. If the system dropped out random people woyld lose their VM greeting or their deskphone would be reassigned randomly. Forwarding meant that the number of the person being called was displayed at the end of the forward. So if i forwarded it to my mobile i would see my own deskphone calling me instead of the initiator. There are just too many issues

Avantages

Software backup and upgradation part are very easy and friendly to process and implementation.

Inconvénients

Have to upgrade the system to newer version, while Avaya systems gets outdated.

Avantages

Its a very easy to operate. Very good product compare with Cisco.

Inconvénients

sometime facing problem with integration with other Vendor

Avantages

I like the ease of the phone systems. I can forward calls as well as receiving phone messages even when I'm not in the office. It's easy to use and great value.

Inconvénients

There isn't a whole lot that I don't like about this software.

Avantages

I liked the many stages you can enter regarding managing a call, like transfer, go on break, hold, brb, training,etc...

Inconvénients

Sometimes upon startup its hard to connect to the right AUX setting if you don't know which one is optimal for your call session

Avantages

Integrates well with MS Teams. The softphone feature of Avaya workplace through this is great. I like having everything hosted on the cloud so I can switch devices with relative ease.

Inconvénients

Integrating Avaya to record audio during video calls can be a bit clunky at first. once you figure it out, it is manageable but training new employees to manage two pieces of software can be a drag.

Avantages

Al ser un programa basado en centralita AVAYA ofrece muchas prestaciones de este fabricante a nivel de telefonía.

Inconvénients

Debería tener un coste inferior, o permitir una gestión mas centralizada de algunas funciones.

Avantages

The system is very easy and intuitive to use. I like how the app and the desktop phones all seamlessly integrate will e-mail.

Inconvénients

Some of the integration was taxing, and on rare occasions calls are dropped when I am out of the building.

Avantages

No pros. Might be if you could get the phone system setup. It took 3 months then I cancelled. They don't have time for new customers it seems.

Inconvénients

Signing up with Avaya was the biggest mistake I have made in a long time. You here about all the software, integrations and see the amazing advertising team kicking but. What you don't know is that Avaya is very unorganized. The sales team did an okay job at getting me setup, however once it came to porting, getting the phones programmed and gathering information about basic phone system setting the nightmare begins. The sales guys and setup teams seem to have no communication with each other. Once I was with the setup team they changed ordered me an extra $45 a month for 11 vanity numbers. Those vanity numbers are free with my existing provider. I was asked the same questions at least 9 times as I was switched from one person to another to another to another over and over. Two and a half months later I have had enough and asked for a refund on all the phones. They countered with an okay offer to refund me all the money I paid on the phones but then I told them about the vanity numbers and the change order and they called it hold numbers for when... lol here it is when my port numbers come in. So I guess they are charging me that in for holding the same for the numbers I have to port when we are waiting the 2.5 months for them to get me setup. Also.. they charged me monthly already with no phones even programed. I would steer way clear of this company. After I asked them what about the vanity numbers they have not responded to an upset customer now for 5 days. It's been a un

Avantages

I enjoy the level of customization I'm allowed as an end user through the Self Administration portal. I think maybe my favorite feature is the Personal Directory but the ability to toggle myself on and off of "Do Not Disturb" has been such a huge help throughout the pandemic while we've worked remotely. All in all, I appreciate the platform and would say I'm rather fond of it, although I wouldn't consider myself a cheerleader.

Inconvénients

Many of the "manual" (read: dial in to access) configuration features are cumbersome and difficult to access. Also, maintaining several profiles - the phone itself, your web portal, your voicemail profile - can be frustrating. Sometimes it feels like there are too many options and having to sift through them all to find the correct one for what I want to do can be daunting.

Avantages

As having a telecom professional background, I can tell this Avaya solution is very robust and stable.

Inconvénients

Maybe the overall "look" of the physical phones could be enhanced. Honestly, it is a very subjective aspect.

Avantages

I have been using the Avaya system for years, it's the only system I've ever known in all the organizations I've ever been in. It's very intuitive and very easy to set up voice mails, call forwarding, call blocking, away messages, and you can also set it up online.

Inconvénients

Because it's so robust there's a lot of different uses for the phone program and it's hard to remember all of it's functions. One can argue that this is good or bad but it depends on your nature.

Avantages

Easily adaptable to any business needs, for example i used this in a 60 user environment, which grew to 300 users in 18 months. The IP Office coped well and adapted rapidly to our needs, no swapping out old phone systems.

Inconvénients

Can become expensive without doing homework on what modules you need. The older IP Office units can also be expensive to repair as parts are not easily sourced.

Avantages

Avaya provides the phones and set up for their system. Setting up voice mail is fairly easy and it has the option to forward voicemails to email. Wireless calling is also available with additional headsets but our staff love them.

Inconvénients

The user interface on their phones requires some learning. For staff who are not accustomed to using the phones regularly this can be frustrating. It is farily expensive but comprehensive. We've also had an issue where calls on hold get dropped after a certain amount of time and have not found a good solution to this. After researching extensively it seems to be an issue with Avaya. Searching through the contacts can also be difficult.

Avantages

Easy to use and very fast to manipulate

Inconvénients

Nothing at all I can’t complain about it

Pourquoi passer à Avaya Cloud Office

Avantages

The IP telephony has helped us solve major operational problems, in addition the system has several tools that allow you to have a good administration, the configuration is relatively simple and maintenance is simple. In addition you can add other optional benefits such as voicemail, call recording, the Avaya Equinox app among many other features.

Inconvénients

The equipment and licenses are expensive, there are rumors that the system will disappear what creates this expectation if we have made the right investment.

Avantages

Our rep is very friendly and helpful, even calls us back when he is on vacation since we usually call him directly instead of going through the call center. It is easy to change names, extensions, voicemails, available times, etc on our end and he trained me on that aspect himself. You can set up "trees" to ring to certain groups in a certain order, turn voicemails on or off, send the phones to the automated system manually or on a schedule.

Inconvénients

Occasionally we have small issues, such as a phone we took off of "forward" still being forwarded and we have to put it back on forward and then take it off.

Avantages

Very nice product in term of the communication in between the employees for inter organization.

Inconvénients

The structure of the product itself is the least thing I like about this product

It's very easy to add colleagues to a call, switch to video or share a link or file in the chat while speaking.

Inconvénients

It doesn't integrate with Outlook to schedule calls based on someone's calendar availability.

IP calls are pretty simple, basic functionality

Inconvénients

Drops calls, connectivity issues, updates don't always fix the issues.
