Cisco UC-One vs. Intermedia Unite

For a company like ours where 24/7 reliability is important both for the safety of our techs and the ability to complete the task at hand, this product has served us well. Like any other tech change, there was an initial learning curve, but this one was low and our time to implementation short

Intermedia [Unite] support is top notch. Their response time is great and don't have a lot of issues.

Jive as a whole has a better back end user interface, however, BroadSoft UC One far surpasses it in terms of overall functionality. The larger feature set (IM, Softphone [Jive has], collab bridge, etc) makes the slightly less intuitive back end a small ding against the software as a whole. Plus the stability of UC One as a whole is much higher as well.

Incentivized

[Intermedia] Unite has no contracts and offers great service. Other companies require contracts, and for highly scalable businesses, this isn't optimal.

Incentivized

• The services as a whole are a better feature set for a better price.
• The software is much easier to use and administrate than previous offerings on the same platform offering a better customer experience.
• Updates made to the back end are not well communicated and sometimes cause unexpected behavior as a result.

Incentivized

• During offseason, we scaled back to 150 phones and during peak, we scaled up to 400 phones. No contracts, no fees, just month to month billing. Awesome
• Support and ease of deployment has been a huge ROI for [Intermedia] Unite.
