Vivant vs. RingCentral: Which Is Better for Your Business?
RingCentral is one of the most well-known cloud phone system providers, offering UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) to businesses of all sizes. However, RingCentral’s strength as a software platform comes with trade-offs — primarily around pricing complexity, support quality, and lack of bundled connectivity and security services.
What RingCentral Does Well
- Robust UCaaS feature set
- Widely integrated with CRM and business apps
- Strong mobile and video conferencing features
Where RingCentral Falls Short
- Pricing scales significantly with users and features
- No built-in internet, networking, or surveillance services
- Support can be difficult to reach for SMB customers
- No native PCI compliance for phone payments
- Requires separate vendors for internet, networking, and security
- Complex licensing tiers
Why Businesses Switch from RingCentral to Vivant
- All-in-one: phone + internet + networking + surveillance + PCI
- Simpler pricing — no per-feature licensing complexity
- AI receptionist included without add-on cost
- Dedicated account manager, not a ticket queue
- PCI compliance built into the phone system
- Single invoice, single vendor, single support number
