I've used 220s and 240s too, but it takes a lot of time to set them up, a lot of time to download the iso files, and set up of datastores. 7k saves the engineer a lot of pre-build assessment and evaluation time. Gets a lot done in a lot less time, returns are a happy engineer …

Before Cisco Business Edition 7000, the installation was done on UCS servers. In them, I had to install everything from scratch, because it did not have VMware installed.

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.

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.
