we have found NEC to be most like the CIX line, other than the boring phones the systems work nice, the iphone app is really cool with the squared line appearance ability, its the only one I've seen with that. they lack a server based system and no real cloud offering.
Mitel has some nice stuff but i probably don't need to tell anybody in here what a mess that company is right now, every week we get a different "road map" of the future of mitel.
We have installed the 250 and it is a really nice product, nicer looking phone offerings.
Mitel 3300 is their server based system, we have installed one of those as well, it does everything and has the nicest phones ( 6900 series) especially the bluetooth handset. If they just scaled the 3300 down to a small, medium and large system (like the ipedge) it would be perfect. They have to many different expensive training modules for all the different systems they offer. it makes it hard to get to be a "mitel expert"
Hey SSPhone, which hosted provider did you go with?
we like what Star 2 Star has to offer, squared line appearance, trunk sharing. so far we feel like they are a good fit for us.
mitel hosted just seems like they want us to hand our customers over to them and walk away.
