RingCentral ranks #1 in analytics capabilities across leading UCaaS vendors

RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact center solutions, today announced that The Tolly Group, a leading global provider of testing and third-party validation and certification, found RingCentral MVP™  (Message Video Phone™) to be the clear leader across multiple categories in an independent research study that compared its analytics capabilities to those of other Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) vendors, including 8x8, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. In a feature-by-feature comparison, RingCentral met 100% of the specification criteria outlined in 13 categories; the next-closest vendor only met 100% in four of the 13 categories.

Tolly’s criteria covered several key areas including monitoring, optimization, analysis, alerting, and APIs. Tolly concluded that RingCentral’s analytics solution provided a comprehensive approach to analytics that span communications across phone, video, conference rooms, and messaging. The study also highlighted RingCentral’s powerful reporting and analytics for calls placed across devices, integrations into third-party apps such as Salesforce, and custom built apps in its rankings.

Because RingCentral integrates its analytics into its core product and interface, no separate integration is required. Analytics functions are accessed seamlessly from the main interface, as well as mobile devices. Implementing RingCentral analytics is simple. The analytics offerings of the other UCaaS solutions are not delivered in as simple and straightforward fashion.”
