## Reviews

### "Cisco Unified Communication Manager (CUCM) 12.5" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *22 April 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Multi party conference, no distortion in voice, highly reliability, safe
> 
> **Cons**: Good software, sometime TEC support is not up to the mark

-----

### "Cisco call manage is best one and voice quality is really good" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *6 May 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Voice quality is really impressive through the VPN connectivity. &#10;We can also use ip-phone application on desktop/laptop and use as a soft phone.
> 
> **Cons**: While using soft phone, application got stuck if we switch headphones.

-----

### "Robust product set with strong functionality but a lot to learn" — 3.0/5

> **Matthew** | *27 November 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Extremely robust feature set with depth in configuration and customization.&#10;- Diversified technology with a strong security interface.&#10;- Configuration rich interfaces with strong delineation of permission sets and redirects.&#10;- Administrative overhead easily reduced by account permissions sets
> 
> **Cons**: - So robust can feel a bit overwhelming (version specific)&#10;- Deployment time frames can be long from purchase to full production implementation (good support though)&#10;- More hardware specific as far as integration than some other agnostic products.
> 
> Great way to monitor and manage on-premise phone systems without paying a substantial fee to a consultant/product provider for management. Allows for a very robust amount of phone service management and integrate with several other third-party products for additional tools (have their own quirks and requirements for management and account permissions). All around great, and very matured, product for voice systems management.

### "No Joke - Its a phone system." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *4 May 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: Number 1 - Cisco. - Inherited this phone system about 4 years ago. Self taught how to use and configure. Have since installed 4 more systems for other customers - feature rich - must have extensive Cisco knowledge.
> 
> **Cons**: Must have extensive Cisco knowledge. Classes, trainings and certifications recommended. This is not an easy system to learn or implement, and there are many many variables

-----

### "Enterprise grade VoIP but needs dedicated staff" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *18 December 2017* | Computer Software
> 
> **Pros**: The thing I like most about this software is a combination of the full feature set and the high quality of support from manufacturer.
> 
> **Cons**: The thing I like least about this software is the complexity of configuration.  Cisco is great about giving many options or nerd knobs to turn, however the UI needs a overhaul to make newer features easier to configure/find.
