[cisco-voip] CUCM SU release cycle

Thu Aug 15 13:46:16 EDT 2019

Cloud is good for some things, IMHO, but not a once size fit all.  As we
saw from last year, the cloud is not immune to outages.  Unless you are big
enough to get a dedicated circuit, you have QoS issues.

I have yet to see WxTeams work seamlessly on my mobile, the bug is back
where it continues to ring after I answer on elsewhere.

My cloud connected home phone is rock solid (8865 to WxTeams), aside from
the occasional QoS hiccup, but I would get that with any provider, not just
Webex.

Would I advise my bigger customers to switch?  Not yet.  Hybrid calling is
good for now and a properly built UCM cluster just can't be beat if you
have a well built network, etc.
