The Avaya system is the only system our organization will use!

Pros

The Avaya system is the best in the industry and there are many options available to meet your needs. The system is extremely easy to use and is used in various industries. I personally enjoy the ability to have more than two lines.

Cons

I haven't found the ability to place someone on hold and putting the phone back into the retriever without it hanging up on the line. You have the option to press mute but the line will disconnect if you forget and put the headset back into the retriever.

A great system for any size business

Having a good phone system installed has really helped our business. We are able to connect our remote workers instantly with contractors and clients who otherwise, we would have to take messages for or redirect which more often then not results in messages being lost or delayed or the caller not bothering to call a second or third number to get to the person they want, we can connect them straight away. I would say this is the biggest benefit of having this kind of system and it's affordable as well.

Pros

It's really easy to use and you can program it from a computer to do all sorts of things! I really like the intercom function, which when you're busy and need to work hands free, it's a very useful tool to have in my role when speaking with colleagues about quick queries and you can easily switch to more private calling by simply picking up the receiver.
I like that you can input lots of different numbers, both internal and external which you can transfer calls to, so even if you want to transfer an external call to an external mobile number, it's simple to achieve.

Cons

There isn't much not to like about the phone system to be fair, however if I was really nit picking I would say there are a lot of buttons and options to get to messages on the answer phone if you've already listened to them once and don't for heaven sake lose the customer support number, as you'll spend hours on the internet doing detective work trying to find it! otherwise, it's very good and the customer support is great.

Painful Implementation, Lacking basic features

This had been the worst experience we ever had, we are currently moving to a different IP telephony system.
we gained nothing from this setup, we actually lost a lot of money.

Pros

many basic features were missing, for example: Call waiting function is not there. Phone directory requires special programming of 3 buttons . i am comparing to all other competitors including Avaya IP Office.

Cons

Many Features were missing, using phones over VPN doesn't work as it should be, support is really weak and not many users are familiar with the product.

excellent, good quality

This software allows me to competently do my job without worrying about a phone call being disconnected or being able to locate the phone number of a patient who has previously called without a problem.

Pros

I would have to say my favorite thing about Avaya would be how easy it is to use. The way the phones are set up is very user friendly and makes a simple everyday task even easier! I like the display screen that comes on the phone.

Cons

My least favorite thing about the software would have to be the setting when the phone is placed on hold. There is no distinct ring to separate a line on hold vs a normal incoming phone call. The phone will continue to ring until it has been picked up when I think it would be most beneficial to have it ring a couple times every minute to remind you the line is on hold.

Great Communication Source

Sometimes phone calls got disconnected but you have the advantage of this app that it always shows the phone number the customer is calling so, you have a call history and in that way you can call the customer back to have a great resolution. At the end of the day, it's very useful to gained a great customer service.

Pros

What I like the most was the easier way that I get used to it, it's very easy to understand and to get adapt.

I used to work with this feature, and, I used it on my daily tasks, it displays the phone number the customer is calling on screen of the Avaya. It is very efficient at call centers since you can hear clearly without any interruptions or any statics on the line.

Cons

It should have an easier way to transfer the calls sometimes it can get disconnected.

Great Communication Tool for Business

I am using Avaya phones over 3 years at Ford Motor Company. I had no issues and there is no complex thing to figure out. Just pick up the phone and use it. There are several modes you can use like DND; Do Not Disturb when you want to keep silence. The earphone is easily adaptable to use while you are in the audio meetings.

Pros

DND: Do not disturb mode Will have your silent mode to focus on your job easier.

Cons

I do not see any negative features that I experienced so far.

For administrators it will take a little bit time to understand the platform and to master it . But in reality there are no cons to the platform.

Avaya (can you hear me now)

My overall experience has been good. Minus a few issues that’s seems to be fixed quickly. I would definitely recommend this service for any employer.

Pros

I have been using this product for the last 5 years with this company. It has its good and bad days. Mostly good. The calls come through very clear and it’s very easy to see who is calling with the caller Id method. When there is an issue it’s fixed fairly quickly so your not without a phone for a long period of time.

Cons

What I least like about this software is that some days it just doesn’t want to work completely. You may not be able to end calls after speaking with someone or the calls will be staticky where you have to hang up and call back.

My customer support system with amazing call facility

Avaya Aura is nowadays my most favorite application because of its advanced communication techniques that helps me to communicate within or outside my organization in a better way.

Pros

This application is quite useful for automatic call distribution system that allows a magnificent call distributing services within an organization. I can even record a lot of calls through its recording features that allows me to record each and every call to have a better record or history of my work.

Cons

For me this application is a huge life savior because it enables me to track each and every call whether am using it inside my organization or even outside. Thus, for me there is nothing to worry about in this particular product.

Let's Talk

I am a user for an at-home call center. This system provides an effective way to communicate with the consumer to provide services.

Pros

This is a software program which bridges the needs of the parenting company with an independent contractor to service the needs of the consumer. The parent company is the actual provider generally which takes care of the billing. I like the ability to talk with the customers through a clear and efficient system. It is well integrated with other software needs to provide quality voice interactions.

Cons

The system is not fail-safe. Like all software there are challenges. There are issues sometimes that limit the usage to the parent company's integration. I can not say if it is actually AVAYA issues or parent company integration configuration.

Pros

I like that Avaya can be used as a physical VoIP phone or even as a softphone that is used through the computer. It’s easy to install and use.

Cons

If you close out the Avaya Aura Platform software app on your computer, you have to reset the whole computer in order for it to pop back up.

Avaya brings carrier class service to the enterprise

Well, if you have the money, then it is easy to scale, upgrade, and manage. But I still recommend a cloud service to get more bang for the buck.

Pros

The Avaya Aura platform gives you the same features that carriers have, redundancy, failover, dialplans, advanced routing, etc.

Cons

well the biggest drawback to the Avaya Aura platform is definitely cost. Another is managing hardware, and software. There are advantages to having your telephony services running in the cloud, but on prem requires a set of support personnel with very specific Avaya expertise.

I liked that it was easy to connect with others in my business, and that generally the applications were bug-free and smooth.

Cons

I think most of what I did not like had more to do with my connection, not the platform itself.

Totally fine tool for (video) calls, chats and screen sharing

It is an okay tool to handle in everyday business even though it looks a little oldschool

Pros

Works totally fine, our whole company is using this tool to call colleagues, have video calls and/or screen sharing.

Cons

installing the programme has been a little tricky but after you once had it is is relatively easy to use. Coukld need a fresher design though
