RingEX vs Zoho Voice: Which is a better fit?

Anjan: Hi, my name is Anjan. I'm a managing director. For RingCentral Office, I give it a rating of four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. The other applications that we considered prior to going with RingCentral were Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Hangout. For Zoom, we found the file sharing capability was limited. As I recall, Microsoft Teams really did not meet our needs at all in terms of a collaborative approach, because we were going to have about 25 to 30 people logging in simultaneously. Being able to send and receive files seamlessly through the application while being engaged in a video call did not really match up, and the same thing was with Google. I think the reasons that we chose RingCentral was, number one, cost. It was very, very affordable, more affordable than some of the other enterprise licensing parameters. From an actual application standpoint, we liked the seamless ability to be able to send and receive files back and forth. These were a group of students that we were working with. They were dispersed globally, and I needed to be able to access their submissions and their projects in a seamless manner, and be able to collaborate on them and provide them with feedback, and we found that RingCentral was offering the best opportunity and the platform to do that. RingCentral was extremely easy to integrate. Being a SAS application, there was no major installation or requirement. As a matter of fact, our participants could actually just log in with their browsers, so that was actually really beneficial as well. It also allowed for people that were participating in the seminar, if they had a lower bandwidth or if they did not have adequate internet access in terms of bandwidth, that they could still participate in the RingCentral forum without losing any of the direction or visibility or collaborative efforts that the application itself provides. So those were all great, great things with RingCentral, and again, allowed us to very easily and seamlessly utilize the product. The recommendation that we would give for people using RingCentral is that it is not Zoom. So it is powered by Zoom, it looks a lot like Zoom, but it is not Zoom. So my first learning was the fact that, hey, I can't change the background on this thing very, very easily, or as seamlessly as I could in Zoom. When I actually got over the fact that it is not Zoom, but it is powered by Zoom, the application itself became a lot more usable. Where I recommend people focus on is that collaborative element and being able to sort of transfer files back and forth, collaborate on a project, collaborate on a seminar. Those are things that RingCentral is really known for and can be used for. So not Zoom, but RingCentral has some great features.
