Karbon vs RingCentral

The biggest downside I have found is when updating a template the templates should automatically be updated when a new version is created as if a job is on annual renewal if the previous job has not been reset the new one created is based on the last one made instead of the new updated template. I would like the option for when editing the template if there was an option for updating all existing or to update all future job creations that would be the biggest improvement.

Being able to create work, create tasks under the work, and assign to staff. Everyone that's assigned to the work can track the status of the work and reassign when needed to manage people's workload. We can also create budget time for the work/task/assignment and log actual time to better manage team capacity and expectations. I also like the comment features where we can tag a certain team member and comment on a task, note, and email message. It is a great tool to eliminate additional email messages as well as keep the communications in one place.

The thing I like best about Karbon is the capabilities that go beyond just an email platform like Outlook - the ability to create "works" for a whole team to track their time against, with organizational capabilities that allow you to manage your work day, week, month, which comes in handy when trying to plan for the future as well as grow your company. I like the ability to consolidate all of your teammates's emails with a contact so you can also get caught up on the email threads without having to bother teammates to get the TLDR, which could also get misconstrued through the game of "telephone".

Pretty good experience overall, though they recently started charging per message for inbound texts. (Something other vendors do not do.) The last two app versions will not allow me to switch to a Bluetooth device if it was not connected before the call started. Unable to remove buttons for unused services like Tasks, Text. (That's fine for a single user but rolling out a product org wide and not having a way to prevent users from using certain functions is just a bit no no.)

Just old , glitchy and bad overall. Their contracts keep their retention and reinstate themselves automatically and you can't downsize your number until your contract is up and hasn't automatically renewed itself. It also doesn't always catch all your call recordings. I was told that that is just the way it is. The call tracking is not good for me either.

I am having issues with the phone picking up and not being able to connect to clients via my phone app. Phone rings and does not show who is calling nor am I able to view who is calling me. And calls that get a random tone and "mutes" so the client is talking and then when I reconnect I have to ask them to repeat themselves. Very embarrassing and unnecessary. The meetings portion works well . Please fix the call issue. This happens to everyone in my office who uses this app.
