Cons

• Inappropriate for rough environments

• Proprietary system, offers limited third-party product support
• Most expensive solution tested

Cisco's setup wizard is well-designed, providing step-by-step prompts to configure various phone settings. However, we found areas where the user interface could use a little work. For example, initial use of the program requires running and then canceling the setup wizard to import and then access the phone settings. We pointed this and other deficiencies out to Cisco and the company agreed that the interface needed some work. Still, for a 1.0 release we were impressed, especially compared with the SpectraLink and Vocera configuration interfaces.
