Call recording, call logging, and the stability are pivotal features for our clients
We mainly replace old telephony equipment. If, for instance, there is an old Alcatel telephone system (digital or analog), and the customer asks us for a new option for IP telephony, then we offer both the Cisco- and Asterisk-based systems. We know the billing, we know the pricing of the items and what we can offer with both solutions. There are multiple factors involved when selecting a vendor * stability * support * features. If the product is stable, the product has good support, and it has enough features which we can offer to our clients, then the product is under our consideration.

Has raised concerns about integration and pricing while showing potential in unified communication
The key feature of Fortinet FortiVoice is secure communication. Fortinet FortiVoice depends on secure communication as security, and simplicity. It offers a simplicity solution compared to competitors. It is very simple for deployment, configuration, operation, and troubleshooting. Additionally, you don't need a license to add IP telephony on Fortinet FortiVoice. This is a significant advantage against competitors, making the ROI comparatively better. The centralized call management feature in Fortinet FortiVoice is useful. Fortinet FortiVoice can integrate with the security fabric solution and FortiGate, which can monitor Fortinet FortiVoice. Fortinet FortiVoice has many features out of the box without an additional license. The call recording and call queuing based on agent skill are among the best features. Fortinet FortiVoice includes the call recording feature at no additional cost, unlike other competitors who charge for this feature. The multi-location conference calling feature in Fortinet FortiVoice has a cloud solution and can be used with the FortiFone soft client. With Fortinet implementing SD-WAN, it becomes very useful for Fortinet customers to implement a Fortinet FortiVoice solution.
