Likelihood to Recommend
The platform is perfectly suited for collaboration involving everything related to integrated voice and video systems. It is easily installed on physical servers and virtualized and can be accessed remotely. The BE 7000 modernized the infrastructure with voice-over IP and generates complete reports on the telephone and video usage of users in all the company's regions for internal control and auditing. The solution can be recommended for medium and large scenarios from 1000 users up to a limit of 5000 users.

I think CloudCall is better for enterprises that need to keep the clients and employees in contact but on a professional basis. Talking over the phone makes a person understand better as compared to email conversations and takes less time too, so, CloudCall fits the gap by providing better quality calls and gives analytics as well.

Cons
  • The User interface of phone could be better and it can be more interactive. The options are complex.
  • The configuration part is tough as we need to select them manually through buttons which make it a difficult task.
  • If the bandwidth of network is low we may face some noise disturbance and jitter in voice.
  • There should be proper documentation available for configuration part so that anyone with good knowledge can do it.
