Placetel offers IVR, ring groups, queues and simultaneous ringing. The highlight: native Webex integration for video conferencing and team messaging. Mobile and desktop apps are modern and stable. Call recording and voicemail-to-email are available. The UC features benefit clearly from the Cisco ecosystem.
