RingEx Reveiw.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

RingCentral is used for all our business client calls and for some intra-organizational messaging. It helps us keep track of our incoming and outgoing calls. Additionally, because we have the app on our mobile phones, it comes in handy when we are on the move. We can pick up our calls and respond to clients on the go, which means fewer missed calls and communications. Additionally, we can keep our work communications separate from our personal calls without using 2 devices.

Pros

  • Keeps call notes with the call assistance.
  • I can view my text messages and calls at a glance on the desktop.
  • Connecting calls on the app seamlessly.
  • The customer service is particularly hands on and helpful.

Cons

  • It will be nice to have more text room monthly.
  • Providing clear instructions on how to access features, as most features are buried in the tabs.
  • The ability to redial a number without having to go back to the settings buttons on the landlines will be nice.

Return on Investment

  • Direct number lines for each station, means better work productivity.
  • In app messaging also means better staff collaborations.
  • Dedicated call lines also mean wider client reach.

Great asset to your business.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use RingEX as our phone system, "Teams communication", and faxing. We love it for the ease of faxing and the confirmation receipt once the fax is complete. The phones track all calls, so we can see whether someone has actually called the office and left a message. The ability to modify office hours in the app is also easy to use and is a wonderful feature. The help desk is also very responsive and helpful.

Pros

  • Faxing and confirmation.
  • Support desk.
  • Answering service call forwarding.
  • Telephone calls tracked - both incoming and outgoing.

Cons

  • Can't think of any.

Return on Investment

  • Enhanced patient accountability, we can track all calls - incoming and outgoing - patients tend to state that they called and left a message, but they either never called or did not leave a message. With RingEX, we can track whether they really did. It saves us quite a bit of time and aggravation.
  • Faxing is more accurate and usually very quick. Because it's accurate, it saves us time with phone calls about faxes we never received and having to refax items. Also, faxing via the system instead of printing and scanning is a time-saver.
