Easy, affordable, proven solutions
Valuable Features
Ease of use, setup and mobility
Improvements to My Organization
It has made us a lot more flexible when it comes to work space, expandability and more.
ShoreTel Sky offers a reliable, flexible and cost efficient solution for any size business that needs a quality phone system. The phones are easy to use and easy to setup, even my most "technologically challenged" employees can setup their phone with ease. The support is out of this world and the entire team has been nothing but professional. We wanted to move to a more "virtual" work environment and we could not do that with the crippling limitations of our XO/Talkswitch system. We scoured the options until we discovered ShoreTel Sky. Not only did they deliver everything they promised (and more) they did so in a time crunch and with no complaints. ShoreTel Sky is an integral part of our team now, I know that as a manager I can rely on them to handle support cases without my "approval" or intervention.We live and breathe SalesForce and being able to integrate our phone system into our CRM solution has been absolutely vital to our continued success. My team can track calls, makes notes on accounts and more without ever leaving the screen. Being able to manage their phones, their call routings and voicemails from anywhere in the world is a major asset for an on the go workforce. I am extremely pleased with the product and service I have received so far and I look forward to seeing what they come up with next.

Access anywhere, anytime
Valuable Features:
The mobility solution has provided us the ability to always available, no matter where we are. Our sales team loves the mobility solution and closing a deal while at home or stuck in traffic is always a nice thing. From an IT perspective, I would prefer the going back to an old technology so I could actually have a day off. As it stands, the mobility solution works so well that I can be contacted, no matter where I am (sigh).

We like that we can use our own Cisco phones on their Sky network.
Valuable Features:
Phone Assistant; The new customer portal for all moves, adds and changes and the ability to continues to use our Cisco phones.
Improvements to My Organization:
We rely on using ShoreTel ( https://www.itcentralstation.com/vendors/shoretel )'s Phone Assistant as an integral part of our company and how it functions. We have control to change call groups, add/remove users, etc. without having to contact someone.
The fact that we can use our own already owned Cisco phones on their Sky network is a great advantage to us. Changing handsets would be a burden on the company.
Room for Improvement:
Perhaps allowing more control over user functions from the customer portal, otherwise the solution is a good fit.

Move your phone system to the Cloud
Valuable Features:
Visual voice mail is everyone's favorite, because no one wants to listen to voice mail. The queue reporting has also helped us optimize staffing levels to handle call volume.
Improvements to My Organization:
With the reporting available from Shoretel we were able to adjust our staff scheduling and decrease average hold times from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.
Room for Improvement:
The experience does not feel "Unified." With the recent acquisition of M5 they acquired a bunch of new features, but have not been able to make all UC features available from one website or one program.
Use of Solution:
Since 2009
Deployment Issues:
Our "work from home" users had a little struggle with the initial setup. We had to reconfigure their firewalls to allow the voice data to go through.
Other Solutions Considered:
Ring Central and Five 9. We went with Shoretel because of our experience with them previously.

Previous Solutions
We moved to VoIP a little over five years ago, after having a traditional POTS system, and it was a great improvement in terms of capability and service.
Initial Setup
I was not part of the initial set-up, so I can't speak to that.

Easy management with many options
Valuable Features
The Portal administrator tool is very easy to navigate and understand; this has to be my favorite feature. As far as functionality, the mobility, softphone, and deskphone options allow anyone to stay connected from any device. If I don't want to use my desk phone, I can pull up the mobility app on my iPad, Galaxy Note, or the softphone on my tablet.
Improvements to My Organization
We now have many more remote workers than we have ever had. This allows us to farm many markets for talent, otherwise unavailable to us.
