Worst phone systems I have ever used at this job for over 33yrs! HATE IT

What do you like best about the product?
I do like the print out of the voicemail, which saves me from having to listen to every one. The email print out of the same, sometimes I find helpful. But it also clogs up my email because of that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Let's start by saying we've had it at my work for 2 yrs. For 1.5 of those years I got almost NO direct calls that even rang the 1 time it rings, because 95% of my calls went directly to voicemail. Even though I was working, sitting at my desk, and on no other call! I complained and complained to mgmt, who coincidentally are not using this system at all. It is just the Sales Force. I'm in Commission Only Sales. I'm trying to make a living. Imagine having to call every single person back? Many have phones set to not receive unknown callers. The caller ID they have will say Boston Area or a local # and not our 800, so many clients don't pick. Then it becomes a phone tag nightmare. I sell cruises, and prices can change in an instant, so phone tag can end up killing a deal. Sometimes it looks like I'm going to get to answer the call that is coming to my direct extension and I hit the "Availablle button" expecting it to be my client and I can see the client phone #, but no name on our Caller ID because it is only 2024 and Caller ID was avail with names in the 80s. So way to be on the ball. Anyway, my client was not there today and instead I got a new call that maybe I didn't have the time for or want! Calls drop for no reason. Sometimes you no longer can hear the person, or they cannot hear you. I have to hang up and call them back. I would say I get about 70% of my actual calls now and the rest go to voicemail. I would NEVER RECOMMEND ONE-MAX/RING SYSTEMS. NEVER! Our company must have spent millions to have stuck with them. I cannot even telll you how many other agents here shared my grief. The company finally did something, that is some crazy work-around. Now a calls comes in and 2 new pop up windows have to pop up in order for the call to let you know someone is trying to get your extension. Then good luck when you hit Available, as it may be someone else entirely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NICE CXone is only adding to my probems. I wish I had something it was solving. I hate it and I would much rather go back to Avaya!
