My company uses this software for our phone service and IM service. It is so nice to be able to instant message employees that are not in the same building.
No complaints here- I'm very happy with the functionality of this product. We will continue to use it in our company.

This phone has not damaged my hearing in any way, shape, or form.
I like that the software is so simple and helpful. Shoretel really does make my job easier when I need to make a call.
The maximum volume level isn't as loud as I'd like, which makes it harder for old folks like me to hear things.

That is awesome and I would love to have it for home use.
The combination of PC and Phone is just awesome along with the different variables and easy to use features is a definite plus.
It would be nice to have this software for home use as well, but I believe its for business purposes only.

Easy to use phone system.
This phone system is capable of doing lots of different things, so there's a learning curve but overall it's pretty easy and does it's job well.
To be honest it's just a phone system that does what it's supposed to do, so I can't say I dislike anything.

Our company uses Shortell and they are great. In all the years of using different providers they are hands down the best.
Some of the features are not rolled out to us. This is more of a corporate regulation but I’d like to be able to use all the functionality

The biggest pro for us was it's simple. Easy to use. Rolled it out to the floor in just a week and only a single training. We loved it's usability.
No issues in general. It really delivers asa promised. Little glitches here and there but nothing substantial.

-Easiest auto dialing system I have ever used -Desktop app handles outbound/inbound calls without a problem -Their customer service is great -Really handles everything when it comes to calls and a must for any sale/customer service team
I did not find anything wrong with this software. My only advice would be to make sure you have a good internet connection or you could have some issues.

It's been 5 years since our company switched from an old PBX to VoIP and there were some difficult times during the transition, but overall it was the right decision. So many more features and it really connected our two locations and facilitated better communication.
Great features and great support options out there. Reliable and even if the internet is down it reverts back to analog lines so there is no interruption of service.
Obviously dependent on reliable internet. For a while our internet here was up and down constantly and it made our VoIP experience very poor. Hard to maintain in-house so we pay a certified dealer to handle our support.

The system does well when you only have to receive calls and listen to voicemail. However, system gets very complicated when you want to use it for advance features
My company has Shoretel, I was surprised to see how the system is not user friendly. Features like call forwarding can take time to setup. Even the phones are not easy to navigate...I have used much simpler phones with great features.

We transitioned phone systems from an old traditional line to Mitel. This product came along with it, and we couldn't be happier. This allows us to seamlessly transfer calls to voicemail, conference in to other colleagues, and pull up a chat if we have a quick question that doesn't warrant a phone call. This product filled a need our business wasn't even aware we had.
It can sometimes have issues loading in the morning for some of our workers. Help desk is great is solving any issues, but it does happen more often than it should.

Easy to use VOIP software, makes working remotely simple. Seamless integration with a headset/microphone combo.
Interface is a little outdated looking and could use a UI facelift. Occasional issues with sound when using over VPN.

What I enjoy the most about this product is that is very user friendly. The interface is easy to maneuver around.
Not sure if this is my work laptop itself but it takes a long time for it to load when I boot my computer.

Shoretel is a very simple program, and gives you exactly what you need; integration with salesforce, easy dialing with a click, tracks the basics (length of a call, connects, outbound calls, inbound calls, and voicemails)
Shoretel crashed often (aka, once every two weeks) and the whole sales floor would have to stop calling, and sometimes it would miss calls.

Quick and easy access to contacts and calls.The features are nice and I have not had any problems with it so far.
Shoretel software connects to my computer and all contacts are able to be saved, searched, and dialed right from my screen.
No cons were added to this review

My experience with ShoreTel Sky has been fantastic so far. Their system and the phones are very easy to use. In fact, I have a couple of people who got extra phones for their homes where all they have to do is plug the regular network cable to the phone and they are able to make/receive calls. Using the software is a breeze. All the options are spaced out and even though you can do a LOT from the home screen, it doesn't seem crowded.
There is isn't any way to record more than one greeting. In our previous system, there was an option to record several greetings, so if you are out of office or busy in a meeting you would enable that greeting. Hopefully, in coming months, ShoreTel Sky will have this option as well.

It's easy to manage, there's good API's and there is a limited number of hardware components. Many of the IP phone systems lack features that have long been in the older phone system, but ShoreTel has worked. Plus they've added their basic Workgroup Call Center software. While it is an extra license, it's easy to manage and has the functionality we need.
Some system instability and they don't seem to be adding features to their API's.

I like this system for its ease of use. We didn't require extensive training. It was more of a pick up and go experience.
Wish there was a guide for the icons on the phone. We cannot find it on the website. Also, in a work group there should be a feature to send a call to voicemail instead of the only options being answer or let it ring to the next person.

Organization, stats, easy to use in a one touch.
The application organizes call history and lets you see how many calls are pending how long you have been on the call and connect the call. Visual voicemail is a plus.
If the application goes down unless properly trained it is cumbersome to use the handset as its hard to pull up call history and extensions.

It has all the features one could want, is easy to use, and even if you haven't used a feature in a while it basically teaches you again simply
It's internet based - which means if we lose internet or electricity our system is down. It happens a couple times a year. But it's the nature of using VOIP, not the system's fault

The newer technology and how up to date the information can be when a new person is working we can switch the name of the lines. And I dont have to memorize extension numbers I just click the name and it dials out.
The display shows all the lines in your business, very simple to use when transferring a call. I likle how there is a directory that shows a list of numbers for other gyms.
The only thing i dont like about it is that sometimes when you are on a call another one will enter from the same line.

The system allows me to transfer, call out, receive calls and manage incoming calls. I really does what it needs to for a call center.
There are times when the call quality is poor and calls drop. This has been happening less, but it still happens. The worst thing to say is "can you hear?"

I loved that the end user system software worked so well. It was easy to use and allowed end users to manage their phone options (forwarding to VM/other line, softphone, etc.).
It ended up being too expensive for us to maintain and we had to move to another phone and software provider.

There doesn't seem to be any problem with their billing service as they always make sure they get paid on time. Besides that it is really difficult to find anything this system does well.
The up time as they like to measure it is closer to 75% not the 99% they advertise. What does it matter if your system is working from 9pm-7am when most businesses are not operating. Call recording is always a mystery if it will actually record the call or not. We needed a specific function of the phones to operate our business. We made this perfectly clear from the first business meeting to the last. When we began setup they told us that the system did not have that feature. They eventually created a work around, but our contract is up this fall and cannot wait to get off of this system.
