    Considered Both Products

    Chose Fuze
    Fuze was basically selected as our priority because of its seamless calling feature as compared to its competitors and the edge of simplifying the contextual features it is offering

    8x8 Contact Center offers almost the same product and features.

    Chose Fuze
    Fuze proved to be a great solution and quite the improvement from our XO phone platform we moved away from. Fuze as a cloud solution allowed us to transition to a remote work environment very easily. Fuze reporting provided valuable insight into the call activity of sales …

    We did not evaluate any other products for our phone service.

    Chose Fuze
    Almost went with PanTerra and then discovered that Fuze has better infrastructure which allows for more reliability and uptime. RingCentral had too many apps and didn't feel centralized enough.

    Chose Fuze
    We have used smaller VoIP vendors and UCaaS, such as Ring Central, in the past. We chose Fuze, and it has been the right fit for us. The private VoIP vendor was not as expandable, and the services [were] just not there. Ring Central, though a capable product, was just not …

    They are more expensive, with less product offerings, and a less dependable service.

    Chose Fuze
    We evaluated other projects like Skype for Business (now Teams), RingCentral, and Cisco alongside Fuze. What set Fuze aside for our organization was the amount of care and support they put into the proof of concept process to ensure that when we decided to start our test, it …

    Chose Fuze
    We have had several vendors try to get our phone business, and I have always given my opinion to management why we need to stay with Fuze. Customer service is wonderful and the support staff puts up with me and they are very helpful. We use another company to do our dialing …

    Chose Fuze
    Fuze was far more expensive and more complicated to set up. Our current platform took a few days to set up with SSO. Our contact center took a bit longer but works amazingly.

    Chose Fuze
    We did a short POC so we did not fully implement all functions with any of the providers before going with Fuze which was the cheapest.

    Chose Fuze
    I was not employed at my company at the time they selected Fuze. But in a general comparison to Vonage which I used at my last company, I think Fuze and Vonage are both good products.

    Chose Fuze
    Our company has used three different phone systems during my time. It began with an on-premises system from Interactive Intelligence, Inc. (I3), which is primarily a higher-end call-center product. Due to a business relationship, we were able to utilize what would have been …

    Fuze is on par with its feature set of any cloud pbx provider I have seen.

    When we were shopping, Fuze was able to give us the features we needed and a good price point.
    Incentivized
    Chose Fuze
    Fuze does not stack up against NVM or Five9 at all. Fuze is such an inferior product to NVM. inContact and Serenova have great platforms as well but I haven't used them first hand yet. All these other plaforms plug into Salesforce well as Fuze does not. Fuze needs to …

    Chose Fuze
    Fuze has had consistent site availability as opposed to the selected provider. Their portals were down 90% of the time even before implementation.

    Chose Fuze
    They all have different usages, Fuze makes it feel like we are using a phone even if we use it from our laptops. We also wanted to have one centralized VOIP system, for example, we have Webex as our meeting system and Slack as our instant messaging system. Definitely much …
    Incentivized
    Chose Fuze
    It's only the fact that we ported our phone numbers to Fuze that made us adopt the solution, for a question of price and support. Meetings, Chat and the mobile application have great potential for improvement.

    Chose Fuze
    We looked at RingCentral as well. They are a big name out there right now. It was actually a tough choice between the two. We had demos of all the software and understood how things worked. In the end, Fuze just made more sense for us. It has solved our problems and fits our …

    Chose Fuze
    Five9 is better as a contact center but can be used with Fuze if you want to combine it with a separate PBX type system. Avaya has more configuration options but is very costly when you need to setup or update hardware. Genesys gives you the best of both worlds, but the startup …
