A stable solution that is developed with innovative technology
We use the solution as a CRM, appointments and virtual answer system.  The tool is not difficult to learn.  I am impressed with the solution's ability to customize workflows.  Some functionalities of the tool required specific expertise. For example, the SIP Connector is difficult to install.…

Makes tasks like network planning and performance monitoring much easier
I have experience with solutions from other vendors like Nokia, Huawei, and Tyson. The main pros of Symphony, in comparison, are the modules that provide a comprehensive overview and the automation features for planning data. These aspects are notably beneficial and stand out. On the downside, the major cons revolve around user customization. Unlike other vendors where you can create your reports and customize navigation, Symphony's user optimization in the SCAP module is limited. This lack of flexibility is a significant drawback, especially when compared to other solutions. Overall, while certain modules like those related to SolarWinds are straightforward and comparable, Symphony falls short in terms of user customization.
