atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Avaya - Lucent Telephones & Systems Avaya Ip office ??Samsung Officeserv

HI! I am just wondering if any body has compared each system for Cons /Pros, of The Ipoffice 500 and Samsung Officeserv 7100,I am trained on the older samsung and i know the Avaya acs , I want to learn more of both systems. It seems like there are more guys in Avaya forum, but i guess Lucent?Avaya has been around longer ..Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

While I can't provide a comparison, I can say that we've been installing IP Office for almost nine years now. It is a very robust product. When used in "preferred" mode, (aka Voicemail Pro), there isn't a lot that it can't do. This is a very different animal than Partner ACS.

Voicemailpro is the more expensive voicemail?? The basic 2 port comes with very limited features ??Right

The "embedded" voicemail is very limited by comparison to VMPro - just as a small pickup is limited when compared to a 20-ton dump truck. That said, it will work fine for many offices. Offers multiple auto attends, mailboxes, voicemail to email, etc. We don't hesitate to use it for the right application.

Yeah, the VM Pro comes 4-port standard, is more expensive, but as Mike pointed out, it will do about anything you want.

The embedded VM comes standard 2-port is a little less expensive than Pro, but doesn't have near the features.

Back to your original question, I don't have a comparison, but will say that we have been selling IPO ever since it came out 9 or 10 years ago and it is a very nice full featured system.

Edit to add: {sorry Mike, I was typing while you where posting.......lol}

Thanks for the comments ,i will be ordering a starter kit to play with in my office. Any other comments welcome .Thanks
