Interactive chat for group meetings is easy to use and encourages participation and attentiveness. The cloud features for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone we use teams for internal meetings and internal collaboration. It fits oue environment better. However the phone system from Zoom Workplace is much easier to setup and use than Zoom Workplace calling is. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Zoom Workplace checks WAY more boxes than any of these, except I believe that BlueJeans had more permissions (facilitator, moderator, etc.) Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone zoom is better for mobile working. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Zoom Workplace does well with both phone communications, meeting communications, and conference room capabilities. It's chat capabilities are inferior to Microsoft Teams as Teams has a higher integration with other utilized tools. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Zoom Workplace beat all competitors on price. Interface was easy to learn and use and we had already tried Zoom Workplace for meetings before adding phone services so we liked the idea of having that integrated in a single service. SMS messaging and interoffice chat became … Incentivized Helpful? Kayla Jane McLaughlin DIRECTOR Chose Zoom Phone I joined this company after they had already chosen Zoom Workplace is very functional but too confusing for the ties to our e mail addresses, document sharing, etc...I don't feel great about using it and who sees what. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone The main reason why we switched to Zoom Phone is because our VOIP system inexplicably went down for almost a month and no one could figure out what was wrong. Lumen was charging way more than Zoom Workplace, but could not get the system to work. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone I only have experience using Teams as an attendee. I believe the Zoom Workplace platform for meetings is easier to navigate. Incentivized Helpful? Trey Topper Systems Support Generalist Chose Zoom Phone We use Teams still for most things, but for video conferencing and phones we use Zoom Workplace because it is much better and more cost effective, hardware wise. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Cheaper, faster, easier for the team to adapt to and use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Nextiva Business Phone Service and Mitel MiCollab Incentivized Helpful? TM Tom McAnally Telecommunications Manager Chose Zoom Phone Ease of use, pricing was much better, we had Zoom conferencing already so it made using the phone solution easy as we can use the same Zoom Client. The features were more robust than anything else we had seen for a cloud based telephone system. The troubleshooting tools are … Incentivized Helpful? BC Bryce Catten IT Systems Architect Chose Zoom Phone Zoom Phone was much easier to manage and use than Cisco. It also allowed us to get off premises and into the cloud. We chose Zoom to move into the future of phone systems. Zoom Phone/contact center was much easier to setup and use than TalkDesk. It was also quite a bit less … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Cloudcall had worse call quality, more dropped calls, and no texting function. All three things improved when switching to Zoom Phone. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Compared to Mitel, Zoom is a next-generation phone system that is significantly easier to use than Mitel or Teams. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone They are very comparable. Incentivized Helpful? AM Ahmed Metwally Director Chose Zoom Phone Zoom Phone was the best value and had the richest features. Also, the implementation of Zoom Phone was much easier than the competing products. Incentivized Helpful? DL DAVE LYONS IT DIrector Chose Zoom Phone Has all the features plus Zoom Meeting integration. Pricing is very competitive. Zoom Webinar is a cut above similar products, so having them all in the same family makes it easier for our staff, most of whom are not technical. Incentivized Helpful? Wenceslao Unzueta Product Manager Chose Zoom Phone As I mentioned before, the interoperability between Zoom Phone communication channels with Chat and Meeting makes this a good user and customer experience. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Zoom outpaces most of the other companies by miles. Teams is a 2nd but it's not even close. Cost of Zoom for longer meetings, more features might turn people off - but it shouldn't because of the actual features and integration (neat bar, Zoom rooms in 365, etc) - others may … Incentivized Helpful? Becky Bobrink Telecom Engineer Chose Zoom Phone Users did not like the Jabber chat...found it hard to use and un reliable on mobile. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Phone Zoom Phones is simply user-friendly. You don't have to be a computer engineer to use the software. It does exactly what Zoom Phones promises. It saves money from business and personal landline. Which then in hard times is a huge benefit for me. Less bills more work time. Incentivized Helpful? LH Lonnie Hansen Director of Business Development Chose Zoom Phone This provided similar features and was a better price structure. Incentivized Helpful? Jim Schuman Regional Sales Manager Chose Zoom Phone Zoom Phone is my primary choice Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	CounterPath Bria	Zoom Phone
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	I think it works well for offices that have multiple locations. Being able to give each person and office their own extension makes it easier for colleagues to connect with each other, plus it's a costs savings for each of the offices Incentivized AB Abigail Blosser Information Technology Specialist Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Transcribes voicemails. Great for those verbose folks that leave long voicemails. Loud and clear volume quality! Great in a busy office with lots of people talking. Easy to keep track of who has called me. Has Caller ID which is helpful. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	We needed to link each of our team members' personal emails to the Zoom account so we have to filter VM notifications out of our personal accounts. It'd be nice if you could set business hours through the webpage to include a lunch break so that you don't have to manually go in to edit. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Integrated into our network. System wide access. Staff are comfortable with the product Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Zoom Phone has a very sleek design which makes it very easy to operate and use both in the setting up of and interacting in a meeting space. That being said, certain features can seem a bit crowded while trying to screen share or display video which somewhat defeats the purpose of the application as compared to a standard conference call. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Support have been great during the time for implementing Zoom Phones to our team of 50 people. There were times where they kept supporting us through links but more and more we had actual people getting back to us via emails so we are very happy overall. The product is so great, too. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Price point was about the same but Zoom included more features for the price. Also the ISO mobile app was better. We were also about to drop Calendly and save some money using the native Zoom app. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Zoom Workplace has had a positive effect on out business by combining meetings and phones in one place. The collaboration has been better with our staff being hybrid. The Zoom Workplace platform has been more that I expected to pay, but the customer service is outstanding.
